EcoFlow DELTA 2 MAX - Worth the upgrade? 6 changes you need to know before buying

My in-depth review of the EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max and extra battery where I cover the big changes: LFP battery, dual solar chargers, quieter, 5 year warranty and great price. This is powerful enough to ditch a gas generator and power your home during an outage. Amazon links below are affiliate links that support the channel.

Already bought the Delta 2 Max (QVC deal $1249 WITH 220W Bifacial panel) Also QVC had special extra Delta 2 Max battery for $800. So $2050, no interest, 5 payments, for Delta 2 Max, EXTRA Max 2 battery + 200w bifacial solar panel. Sorry the delays are over. I’m Uber happy for what i received not only at this price, but all the features. Thanks to the solar gods!

Great video! I was trying to decide if I should get the older version and save some money, or go for the latest. The update in battery technology, dual charging inputs, and longer warranty sold me on the new version. As an aside, I think the 110 outlets on the back on the unit is a feature, not a bug, as it helps reduce cable clutter.

I think the Delta 2 Max is the best option for most people. What is really great is that you can connect two different solar arrays to it. One could be pointed more to the morning sun and the other array could be pointed to the afternoon sun. This works great if you are unable to keep the solar panels pointed at the sun. I also like that it is portable at 51 pounds instead of the heavier Delta Pro or other large generators.

[Wherstead]

The LFP, expandability and useful phone app made this a no-brainer choice for me.
EcoFlow is on the run providing new and reliable technologies with great support.
I'm selling my Jackery products and putting those resources into more EcoFlow solar panels.

[kenjboyd]

Excellence as usual Todd, very helpful in evaluating the new Delta, plus the lineup comparison was a great top off. Thank you for your excellent work, I owe you!

[AaronBregg]

It has been a while since I visited your channel. First and foremost, holy cow on the production value! Great job! Secondly, I just got a Delta 2 Extra Smart Battery to go with the Delta 2 I got earlier this year. Holy cow, the difference between the Goal Zero and EcoFlow products is no longer close. After 7 years of getting GZ products, I have fully bought into the EcoFlow family. As always, keep up the great work!!

Recently I had the opportunity to run the Delta 2 Max and Smart Extra Battery for a prolonged nighttime power outage. Temps were in the upper 30's. I have a gas furnace, so I only need to power the blower to heat the house. The blower spikes at about 700 watts but runs at around 300 watts. It might run about 30 minutes per hour. I also run a full size refrigerator and small chest freezer which cycle on and off as needed. Most lights in the house are LED or CFL. Under these conditions the Delta 2 Max was estimating about 11 hours of capacity. 10 hours might be more accurate if we were up and using the fridge or microwave. Previously I would power everything with a 3000 watt Honda. It would burn about 3 gallons per day. Now with the Ecoflow Dual Fuel Generator only charging the batteries twice per day I would likely burn the equivalent of about 2 gallons per day, but only running for about 4 hours instead of the Honda running all day. The batteries and dual fuel generator are also much easier to set up.

[BradLarsen-nlpc]

Heads-up. The dual solar ports also means you can use two cigarette lighter adapters simultaneously while you're driving to charge twice as fast.

I just got the Delta Max 2000 for $1, 100 on Prime day. It will be my UPS in the winter and go in my trailer in the summer. I also have a dual fuel 2, 500 watt generator in my trailer. It looks like running the generator for one hour a day together with the EcoFlow, will keep me powered continuously. I pretty much always camp in the forest, so solar panels aren't really viable for me.

[uhjyuff]

big time review and comparison. I feel like I know everything about the new model power stations. Thank you.

[TinyGoHomes]

This will be a buy of mine because of all the features. Expandable, can use the eco air conditioner, can use old batteries, two lines in one for solar one for the vehicle, quiet, powerful, fast charging, app features. It’s definitely worth the price for what you get folks. Great video.

[theroadhome_Liz_Summers]

Lots of great info! I am team EcoFlow ... started last year with DeltaMax2000 and Wave, this year Wave2 (and battery), Glacier (and battery), River 2 Pro. My goal is a transportable power system for my 1 br/1bath rural NW MT house, my 20 year old motorhome and going to and fro for supplies in my Jeep Wrangler. I have not added solar yet based on my location (MT and wooded property). Thanks for this information!!

[lifeswhimsytutelage]

Thank you for the info and the comparison. Trying to decide what to do for a back up for my RV. Have a good day.

[xraykadiddlehopper]

Thanks for a detailed comparison on all like units.
I purchased a delta2 in October and now wish I would have waited a bit as the D2 max for more $ would be better suited for most needs. I do love the D2 but 2x the battery capacity and the dual dc input is outstanding.

[salsero]

Great review. Thank you. I appreciate the detail section on the automation. I plan to use this battery to take advantage of the cheaper electric rates at night and run via battery during the day (covers most of my kitchen devices). Time of Use rates here in Georgia. I think this is a great use for these type of batteries in the home.

[matzke]

I think there needs to be three product lines:
1. small ultra-portable camp-fire powerstations.
2. stationary in RVs oder medium Sailboats
3. stationary household stations

The Delta 2 max is to heavy for Nr1, to little Amps on the 12V DC output and to high standby loss for Nr2, to little PV-Input Voltage for Nr3.

There is a workaround when it comes to also charging while driving but it involves installing a pure Sine inverter in your car and using the AC from that

[Gman-lfbh]

Well done video. Nice unit but disappointed there is no 30 amp outlet. My home electrical panel has a 30 amp inlet transfer for the generator back feed. Is there a way to safely configure 30 amps output from the D2Max without a dedicated 30 amp outlet?

[_intrepid]

The dual PV/car input is cool but I'd love to have more 12V amperage for camper/van/overlander situations.

[someoneelse]

I would argue that the dual solar input is an feature, if you put all of your panels in series, a partial shade on one of the panels will draw down the whole array, if you have 2 separate panel arrays one will still deliver.
Also, on a camper, you could have the roof mounted array on one plug and a portable array on the other plug and use both, with different orientation you get more hours of sun
Sadly there are no youtube giveaways for me living in Sweden, and it is quite expensive here.
