I appreciate these types of videos very much. I am still trying to understand the whole solar power concept and how all of these things work. Your videos and worksheets are very helpful.

[wideawake]

Thank you so much for showing the comparisons of the units the way you did. With them lined up on the table, then showed the value of each side by side. It was so much easier to comprehend then spreadsheets. ❤

The fridge pulling 600 watts was most likely running the defrost process. It only does that every now and then. My older fridge does that same thing but it only runs the heaters for a couple minutes. You just got lucky with your timing. Usually compressor draw will be around 100-150 watts when running.

Thx for your thorough review. I’ve been looking at these on Amazon and almost pulled the trigger on one last night until I visited the Ecoflow website. I found that the Ecoflow sells them cheaper. I just purchased the EcoFlow Delta 3+ w/ the 220w solar panel off their website for $961. On Amazon it would have cost me $1062! I noticed w/in a few hours the shipping date changed from late Oct/early Nov to late Nov/early Dec. In the midst of all these storms, seems like everyone is grabbing one.

With all of those power stations, you should be able to have your own mini power grid! Good job on the video.

Solar is so awesome! Especially with this awesome portable device!

[btchidz]

I definitely need to invest in one of these soon. These hurricanes here in Florida are about to go crazy lol

[Randointerwebzdude]

Just wanted to say thanks for this review. I just snagged one of each from Amazon on their early prime day deals. Looking forward to getting them delivered.

I rent a small space in my landlord’s basement. I own 4 eco flow generators. Different sizes. I’m the kind of person who benefits from this kind of solar power because the house isn’t mine but I’m good to go with my eco flows! I’m a senior and I can only drag/carry so much weight! I’m secure with what I have. They easily take care of my 2 refrigerators, my freezer that houses my ice for my Icy Breeze air conditioner and as lil the rest of my needs. These generators are great for someone like me.

I was hoping for more information on the new 3000 dual fuel gen too

And next week it will be the Delta 4 up for review. Never ends

I think one of the issues is that people don't grasp these devices are a stop-gap measure, unless you can afford to go 'whole system' solar. Trying to limp along with them is fine, but solar panels, again, depend on a number of factors: peak solar vs the rest of the day, shade, clouds, what have you. Yes, they're much better than no power at all. But often the marketing is misleading. You're not going to be able to toss down a solar panel, and have this recharged in anything less than 'quite a while'. And it will be depleted much faster than most understand. I think everyone who can afford them should have them, because again, it beats no power at all. But for most of us, don't expect it to replace grid power. But if one does understand that, and doesn't waste power using them, it's another level of comfort, or need, in the case of medical equipment being powered. I do like the fact they're offering natural gas backup measures. But again, there's a limit to it. Straight gasoline generators go through fuel faster than many realize, as well. I have Ecoflow and another brand's solar generators, and they've gotten me through a couple 'grid down' events. But long term, I'd be hurting if my life depended on 'em.

Very nice unit🤩!!! I like the Delta Pro too, I like that these different generators can pair up together. Tell that company to send me some, I’ll review them and put them to the maximum test!😅

[dawnbaker]

Thanks for all the work you put into these kinds of videos.

[aaronburley]

Good stuff Kris. Thank you for the spreadsheet!

[JL-kvle]

@CityPrepping Can you please recommend what portable solar panel(s) you can use for the Eco Flo Delta 2? I'm on a very limited and fixed income and hope to find the best bang for my buck. I'd very much value your impute. Thank you

[remotemanagement]

Amazing machine this is all I need, water and weed

[earlshaner]

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother

[mikepfeifer]

Do you have recommendations how to protect these batteries from EMP or Solar Flares? I have been looking for a faraday cloth or blanket to cover mine up when not using. If you have a video on this would love to hear your thoughts!

[AkhonaNgquba]

In my experience (which is not a lot) sticking to the solar input voltage range is more important than the amps. I have a River 2 (which takes 110 watts solar). I always use my 240 watt panels and the unit limits the charge to 110 watts (or 8 amps).

I think (I’m not qualified to think in the case) an MPPT is smart enough to work within its “amp” range. With this said, I hope EcoFlow does not read your comment in case I burn my River 2 😅
