Still watching, but as usual this is a top notch product review. One thing that I think EF could improve on is adding utility to those smart batteries. The competing product from Bluetti has expansion batteries that have DC power ports. That's a significant feature when you consider the cost of these devices. If the main Delta Pro unit goes down you end up with expansion paper weights. EF has made slight gains in the customer service department, but imagine dropping $$,$$$ on the full setup and have to send the main pro unit back for a warranty service. With Bluetti you can still use 12V devices (like an inverter), USB devices, etc. Maybe they'll add ports to future smart batteries.
I'm guessing in the future it's just a software change & maybe a new cord for it to be able to charge it by itself. Because if you need the main unite that means there isn't an inverter in it like the Bluetti extra batteries.
That is my issue right now and getting the main shipped back is a real problem. I am having trouble getting all the label required to ship this thing back . It comes with the black diamond with a nine on the box. Turns out you can not take it to your local fedex print and ship store they will refuse to ship it.
@@raymondpetersen3543 yeah. I had to return one of the Delta 1300 units. Ecoflow told me that I would have to schedule a pickup, but I was able to search for one of the FedEx locations that specializes in hazardous items and dropped it off there
No Costco ones aren't different, they use to be when the delta pro 1st launched. Now the same. Delta 2 max and Delta Pro have the same battery technology now.
Thanks Clint and til this day I still have my 2 and 2 extra batteries with the original smart home panel. Very dependable. Any questions let me know and I’ll always do my best buddy 👍🏼
I have new EF Delta Max 2 I was investigating if I could attach a delta Pro add on battery to my Delta Max 2. I think the Delta Max 2 add on is 2040 wats at $1399 and the Delta Pro at 3600 watts is $1899 - thanks
What is the comparison from winter and summer does this stand Up to Michigan winters I'm looking to replace or subsidize my small home on grid power is this possible and safe
This is for indoors it’s not made to stay outside in extreme cold / heat. This might be what you need besides the pro ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DsHOvAFnYak.html
Great review but one thing when it was running over 3600w it wasn't using surge as that's not what that value is used for. You have xboost enabled in the settings allowing it to go over 3600w by reducing the voltage which isn't good for anything other than resistive loads so I recommend disabling it unless you absolutely need it.
A couple major advantages to smart batteries is - (1) Protect from overcharging. (2) If batteries are fully charged for too long the smart battery will slowly discharge the battery to a safe storage charge to help keep the battery healthy giving it a longer life span.
120v electric not 240v otherwise you will have to get this for 240v for off grid use ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WUitxUq9gsM.htmlsi=Lkdh78cH2PGigPmu
I remember building a 32 foot. by 24 foot storage building with a concrete floor, framed like I wanted, and even bricked with the same brick that was on my house for $3100.00 back in 1982. I thought I was spending way to much back then, but I am sure glad I did it now.
Thanks for all of your videos and review! After watching this and your solar tests, fridge run time, smart panel review etc I decided to go with an Ecoflow system for my home backup and solar generating system. Appreciate the thorough reviews and seeing your pup helping out in all the videos!
They need to add 0.0 Volts DISCHARGE PROTECTION... When ECOFLOW units use all the charge sometimes it GOES DEAD... No more charging!! No power, No recovery... You have to send it back and they TWEEK IT BACK TO WORK... BUT... THE OWNER CAN NOT RESET IT...; Why not??
Good Morning All, Received a reply from ecoflow tech support, less than helpful “This is Lingzhi from EcoFlow support. I don't get you well, the question “Passthru” mode is disabled. Well, when you plug your DELTA Pro into the wall socket, it automatically turns to bypass mode, and the AC won't be and can't be shut off. If you have any further questions, feel free to let me know.” Obviously it DOES happen, otherwise I would not have reached out to them. I realize that your site is NOT tech support for Ecoflow. I’m just asking if you or other subscribers have had similar issues. Not sure if related issue, but after last Firmware upgrade to Ver 1.01.61 (V3.0.1.11 (WiFi), the AC ON/OFF led was out and we had no power in the house. I pushed button and all returned to normal.Thanx for any input, very frustrating.
I got mine today and YES, it's heavy. I have it charging right now. This is a great detailed video. I'm excited about expanding each year on my system.
That's why there are different options for different people small units and big units even gas generators right at the end of the day this product is not made for everyone but it is amazing what this thing can do
That’s a recent change when it first launched you would get the solar panel I don’t think it’s a good idea that they don’t included anymore especially with the Delta pro
I just bought a Delta Pro 3600w unit. The main reason I bought it was to run my pellet stove during blackouts. My pellet stove Electrical Rating is 115 VAC, 60 Hz, Start 4.1 Amps, Run 1.1 Amps. I am concerned if the Delta Pro is ok to start and run the pellet stove. Worried that I could damage the Delta Pro on stove start up because of the amount of draw the stove produces. Don`t know much about electrical stuff. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
The information you provided in general the Delta Pro will run the unit but you need to find out your startup wattage or your surge wattage from the manufacturer. I don't see it being an issue since the Delta Pro has a surge capability of 7,200 Watts But better to be safe than sorry I hope it goes well
Hi, Hope all is well? Unplugged Delta Pro & Smart extra battery last night to test how long they would run my stuff. After 16 hrs, they shut down. Upon plugging them back into wall outlet, they immediately started charging, but AC “Pass Thru” was inop. I’ve got all of the AC settings set to “Stay On”. Any idea what I’ve done wrong? I’d thought that this issue was fixed in a previous Firmware update? If I was out of town and we’d experienced an outage, none of my devices would have been powered afterwards. Thanx!
What a beautiful BEAST the Delta Pro is 👍😃! I'm really surprised you didn't perform a refrigerator test on the Delta Pro (Just the unit itself - No extra battery connected). This is the one test I wanted to see the most, but the only one you didn't perform on the unit. 😭
You can charge it using solar, while using appliances. The max solar input for one DP is 1600 watts. So, if your appliances are using more than that, it will use battery power.
I like being able to see the individual watts at the DC and USB ports. I can glance at the values on my phone and know when they hit zero watts the charge is complete.
I would like to know a little more… first in the event of a total power 5 hour outage would the pro last that long with a propane furnace, two French door fridges, I toaster oven and well pump operation. Please guesstimate the wattage. Even dirt is younger than me.
@@djryan8944 I like it a lot, I was just trying to say technology changes so fast that in 5 years it will probably cost less to make and have more upgrades 🍻
@@masterchef2408 - For the pro unsure what they can really change on it to make it better. Only real thing is the battery chemistry which right now lifep04 batteries are just breaking in. They are barley being incorporated in EV cars. And most lower capacity solar generators all are not lifepo4 because it gets heavy. We will see.
If power outages are a daily occurrence then I could justify this unit but for the extremely high cost it's not worth occasional outages. Amazing product but way out of my price range.
@TechMadeEzy I'm in Tallahassee fl and the Tornado hit about 25 yards from my bedroom window. What a mess. I was completely unprepared. Your tutorials are very helpful.
Thanks for the video. I’m getting the delta in a couple days which will take 400 watts max solar power,, should I buy the 400watt panel from eco ? Thanks
The most thorough and comprehensive review of the EcoFlow Delta Pro that I have seen on RU-vid. I am anxiously awaiting your video review on the EcoFlow solar tracker device for solar panels. Thank you, J S Thomas
@@TechMadeEzy Could this Delta Pro be used as an off-grid power source for a small tiny home (399 sq ft), using one Delta Pro 400 watt solar panel (or possibly two, 400 watt solar panels) to keep it charged? Lights, tv, laptop, gas powered oven, refrigerator, gas powered washer/dryer, microwave, toaster, Keurig coffee maker and air/heat unit would be used (of course not all together at the same time). Would two Delta Pros be needed instead of just one? Thank you, J S Thomas
Thank you Carlos it really all depends on what you're going to do if you have to Delta Pros you can get a double voltage Hub and then you have the ability to actually combined both Delta Pros and get 240 volt and 7200w. But again this will only work for 240v applications. I love the extra battery because it doubles the capacity to 7200Wh, take a look at this video and you'll see that I connected to Delta Pros using the double voltage Hub it's a nice little demo it was fun to make ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WUitxUq9gsM.html
Salut, je suis désolé je ne parle pas français mais j'ai compris ce que vous disiez à propos de la traduction. Je vais devoir me pencher là-dessus. Je suis content que vous ayez commenté.
To my knowledge, this will not work with rooftop solar, but you can actually connect solar to each delta pro up to 1600 W using panels. EcoFlow also released some rigid panels and you can probably put on your roof, but I’ve never done that myself.
I appreciate your video and have a question that I have not seen answered here or elsewhere. The Ecoflow Delta pro has a 30 amp output plug that they specify for rv. Can that plug be used on a manual transfer box, or do you have to use the 1500 dollar smart panel? Of course you can see the advantage of not having to use their over priced box. Thanks and any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks Ron I haven't tried that but check out the video below and I would also recommend emailing EcoFlow and see what they say, the video below is a double voltage Hub that they offer that cost much less and might be your solution but that requires two Delta Pro, support@ecoflow.com video is below ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WUitxUq9gsM.html
This is a great question. I too have an existing twist lock 30amp generator input to my home but was disappointed to see it requires 2x delta pro (plus the accessory to combine them) to output 240v at 30amp into my existing setup
Hi Ron, Yes, that plug is how my manual transfer switch is connected to my Delta Pro. Electrician mounted the (included w/Reliance Transfer Switch) recepticle that’s wired to transfer switch next to my Delta Pro and used the heavy green cable to connect the two. I believe that switch came w/25’, but I ordered shorter 15’ from Amazon. Bert
I have a couple of questions. 1) I have a 10000 watt dual fuel generator and a transfer switch. My worry is long term power. With the Delta pre with a extra battery. Is it possible if necessary (Florida's rainy seasons) can I use my gas generator to charge the unit if solar issues like rain? This would save on fuel, I'm looking to only keep my 2 fridges and freezer and chest freezer running. 2)can I plug the Pro into my transfer switch. I hate extensions cords all over house. 3)the reason I. Interested in charging from generator is during day I won't be inside so AC is not an issue. But at night!! I have a portable 10000 btu AC that will cool our emergency room in about 20 minutes and has thermostat shutting off when it hits temp desired. 76 degrees heating? I just use an extra blanket lol Any help would be appreciated, just trying to back up my back ups. Seeing as fuel has become an issue.
If you use a gas generator it needs to be the inverter type that has a pure sine wave outlet that you can plug the delta pro into. Make sure it has a pure sine wave outlet. I’m sure you can use a transfer switch with the Delta pro but you probably wanna work with an electrician. I use a smart home panel ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DsHOvAFnYak.html I’ve also tested the double voltage hub which might be an option for your electrician but you will need 2 delta pro ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WUitxUq9gsM.html
Why are the cords so short that go from the solar panels to the units? The Pro weighs 100 lbs, to charge it up with solar I'd have to take the unit outside..100LBS, really? Is is possible to buy a compatible cord that is 25' or maybe 50'?
I believe all the 1200W solar “early release” models have been sold so the Costco units are same as other sources now. But please check specs or check with EF yourself.
No beat place at this time, it's $3,599 I did place links below for Amazon or EcoFlow in the description. Haven't seen sale prices yet, Costco did but they don't sell it as of now
Yes this thing is massive. Even with wheels I don't see this being very portable for a lot of people. I would not want to carry this around for camping or tailgating or to a construction site. If I leave this in my basement when not needed it would not be ideal to carry it upstairs when needed. Seems like it needs a home where it stays in one place. Too heavy and too expensive but it is really nice.
Great review. Can someone please advise as I'm unsure on energy flow:- if you are using the 3.6kWh EcoFlow Delta Pro to power a 600w device, will it power it for 6 hours (3600w / 600w = 6)? Thank you.
Question…… would like to use a unit like this ( Pro ) fora we’ll pump. It would be a 220 v and they say that I need 5500 cranking ability. Can this do that ?
If connected to smart home panel and you have solar on the roof already can the Pro use the excess mains voltage from the solar into charging the pro instead of hooking up a couple of separate panels for the pro? IE can it be set in the app? as for me it’s difficult to mount any panels just for this purpose.
From the Ecoflow website it looks like you can get more power with the smart generators replacing one battery on each Pro unit. What are your thoughts on that? I already have a backup generator but am intrigued at balancing the power demand via two smaller generators vs two extra batteries. As someone shopping around I'm not sure if I should buy the double pro with 4 batteries or with 2 batteries and 2 smart generators.
I think this is one of the very best product reviews I have seen on youtube and the #1 for Ecoflow. All my doubts were cleared and you really answered all my questions. Thanks!
I just received mine today and yes it is a beast. I opened the box and stood it on the wheel end and then slid it out of the box so that I didn't have to lift it. Great machine so far. Fairly identical in operation to the Delta 2 that I have so learning the operation was fairly simple.
Wow when I first open the video I jumped back when I saw three of those gigantic solar generators at one place. I know those things aren’t cheap and I don’t know if you bought them or they’re just demo units but I’ll get into the video I’m sure you’ll tell us. Anyway just wanted to say thanks for doing these videos that you go flow is one that I’ve been watching for quite a while. I know that their inverters are incredible allowing them to really spike so that you can start up appliances that other solar generators would not be able to start up. Keep up the good work thank you and the dog is cute by the way
I'm trying to charge my Delta Pro in my semi truck with 3000W inverter while truck is running but every time I set charging over 200W it overload. Can you please tell me if there is any solution to charge faster? Thank you in advance!
Great detailed video. Can you do a video comparison of just using two DP, not for the 240v, just as an expandable battery. I'm torn between buying another DP to increase battery capacity, or just buying the extra battery. Thanks
If I were you, I'd get another Delta pro instead of the extra battery which is what I did. Because remember the extra battery is dead weight. You need a main unit to charge it. Having another pro doesn't have that flaw.
Thanks for all the great info!! I purchased an Ecoflow pro and a battery with 2 400 solar panels. Using two Eco pro deltas at 3.6 K and a battery what is the wattage that you can input? I heard that when using a double voltage plug, you cannot plug anything into the regular 110 outlet… You have to plug it into the double voltage plug… how does that work? With an Eco pro double voltage plug, and a battery all connected… When using solar on serial 400 panels, how does the charge work and what Eco pro do you insert it into? How does the dispersement work with this set up? If I have the same set up when I go to an EV station do I have to take all three of them and charge them?
you're enjoying it greatly. I got 2x Delta Pro and 1x extra battery to provide myself a 10800Wh backup capabilty for home blackouts and I enjoy the feeling that blackouts can't hurt me anymore. Your wife tolerates your out-of-control e-hobbying somehow - you must be grifting her somehow. I do also.
Good review, 33:50 the problem here is that the unit reduces the voltage in order to reach those watts, so from 120v it could go down to 105 or less which is very dangerous for the appliances if they use engine.
Hi Joseph It does have the capability I’ve never done that test because I’ve never had access to an RV. I would recommend just emailing EcoFlow. They are pretty responsive and they can give you any precautions just in case. Support@ecoflow.com let me know how it goes.
You mean the smart home panel Michael? It's controlled by an app, here are a few short videos ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DsHOvAFnYak.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DKG7dXAZqtM.html
It comes with the xt60 / Mc4 so just buy the length you need and I would go with 10 awg, I should have had Links in our video description also if you like. You can also get 8 awg to be safe if you are going to use up to 1600w of solar
You can connect it to a home using a transfer switch through the 30A connection. You can also purchase a smart home panel that’s what I have and works great Here is a video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DsHOvAFnYak.htmlsi=2ZyGIPHh7PIquDGG
Does anyone have inside knowledge when the double voltage hub and smart home controller will be available? Or have a double voltage hub you want to sell? I don't see it in stock on ecoflow's website and customer support has no idea, sort of like the cybertruck.
