[@TheNature101]

@TheSolarLab Are you freaking kidding me? It has an Anderson DC connector. Amazon will sell you 2 (yes, TWO!!!) Anderson to lighter sockets for $13. So stop sounding like a little cry baby asking for a lighter socket. Same with the barrel connector. Geez....

[@pstoneking3418]

I had a delta pro. But I wanted a stand-alone unit that outputs 240 volts to power my deep well water pump in an emergency. So, I bought a Delta Pro 3 with a $500 coupon on Amazon and brought it down to about $3200. It's not too bad for a 4000-watt 240 voltage portable power station.

[@canterburyworkshop5631]

Just wondering what size well water pump you have 1/2 hp or 3/4, and what is the surge of the well pump when it kicks on? Can the Delta Pro 3 handle it?

[@gtbrown001]

Gotta say, this really is one of the best/complete reviews I've seen. Thanks!

[@chrissimaz3779]

Charge an EV from the 120 and 240 ports. A lot of power stations say you can but neglect to tell you that a neutral ground bond plug is needed.

[@davids7550]

Delta Pro can be got for $1995 now. This will also be 1/2 in a year or two. Caution: EcoFlow's app works, but at what expense? They want to download everything on your phone, including photos and tracking information as their price to use their app. Read your terms before downloading. I have a Pro and 2 Delta 2's - they work well, but I don't like being fracked with, which they seem to do. I just want to buy their product then be left alone.

[@billytanglewood5665]

1. Ecoflow pioneered ergonomic designs that look at home in your house. Before this company, everything looked very industrial. So how is that a negative? 2. An Anderson connector to cigarette Lighter adapter is very available on Amazon, but they tend to shake loose and overheat so all the solar generators limit the amperage to 10A. If you wanna supply more than that, you have to put it on an Anderson connector, which is secure. 3. If you just discharged the battery at a high rate of speed, or dumped most of it's capacity, of course it's not going to recharge at the highest possible rate. It takes some time for the battery to cool down before the BMS will allow top charging speed. 4. If you're experienced with solar generators, you should already know these things.

[@Clo411]

Good video, as for as 12v car charger, I just got an Anderson power car adapter.

[@TonyStewart-wl8dv]

I did to something to keep up with but works great. And the barrel cord works great with a 12 volt fan from Walmart

[@pstoneking3418]

That's a cord that probably should have come with the unit.

[@ls2974]

Agreed. I connected a 12V fusebox to the anderson port and run my entire van through the Anderson port. They could however do more about it e.g. Offer an Ecoflow smart fusebox (12V) which let's you switch on/off individual devices or at least simplifies the 12V integration

[@markkempton4579]

Confession: I wired the lights in my shed to run through a barrel connector on my OG River, which I used for testing. When I went to buy a River 2 to keep in there permanently, I was mad that it only included the cigarette lighter port. I now need to convert it to a 12V car connector. I appreciate having both, especially as little room as the barrel connector takes up.

[@capkingy]

I have a small house. This unit would meet my needs. It would be fun to see you test it on a small house that has a generator panel and a manual transfer switch. I had my house hooked up so I can run everything in my house except my stove and washer and dryer. I did it this way so I could keep my sump pumps going during a power outage with a gas generator. I have the 240 volt generator plug too. It was fun running both my TVs 2 acs my fridge and pc off of a 8000 watt generator when we tested the panel. Hopefully I’ll never have to use it.

[@Chubbydippin]

The cigarette style 12v output outlet definitely needs to go the way of the Dodo bird. They are cheap, don't last and prone to magically popping out on their own all too often. Glad to see it's NOT included. There should be however, higher amperage 12v outlets and even 24v outlets by now. Don't get why manufacturers don't include those options.

[@JamesAmbrose48]

I wish these companies were more honest about surge capacity. They want these units light so they got rid of the transformers but there’s nothing that handles a surge like a heavy transformer. You have to take their surge capacity claims and divide them in half for an accurate figure. Even then….

[@FullSendPrecision]

To be fair... people generally underestimate how much surge things like an AC or Air compressor motor need

[@ixnorp4270]

Just a heads up for anyone thinking about buying an Ecoflow power station. If they are out of an item, their website will not state this. Therefore, they will take your money for something they don't even have in stock. I ordered a River 2/panel combo for my daughter. The panel was shipped, but the not the River2. I had to email them to find out what is going on with the River2. That's when they informed me that they won't have any until the end of July.

[@jfaber99]

I prefer the barrel connectors. I just replaced my fridge cord with one with a barrel plug end. The cigarette plugs always feel flimsy to me.

[@JamesGreen-gv4yn]

Re: built in light. I personally think all of them should stop putting a light on their units. A small head lamp is all you need and trying to put something on a unit that may never get used is a waste of money, design effort and space.

[@DV-tc1yr]

my thoughts exactly, i own so many olights flash lights

[@KMCA779]

I'm with you. If you're that desperate put your flashlight on top, it probably won't slide off and the reflected light will be enough unless your walls are painted black or something.

[@Therealphantomzero]

Or a little light that pops out of the unit. And charges when it's in the unit would be cool

[@underscr0e]

When ecoflow releases the solid state battery, it will be a game changer 👍 Should be in the next year or 2.

[@Enriquecido316]

Just got mine, absolutely love it! Btw first time i watched and subbed, great review!

[@desneysouthall1974]

Thanks for admitting that the Anker 3800 runs 🏃‍♂️ both 120v and 240v at the same time! 😀 The other influencers gloss over this very important fact. I was going to purchase that ecoflow, but it can't even run my drier at 5700 watts and my refrigerator both combined for 6100 watts continuous for 57 Minutes. I saw one of the influencer s run an 240 v appliance at 4400 watts and the unit shut off. Yeah No thanks to this new Ecoflow. 😂

[@philh82]

I would like to see you test that. Set up a 2 ton air conditioning unit. Make sure the air conditioning unit has a soft start on it for the in Run amps to be lower. And see if this can run it.

[@ronkmiecik7442]

I have a 2.5 ton heat pump with a soft start. 17 amps initial and 14.7 while running. Also have a well pump 16 amps. Sounds like it’s way too much for either one much less both.

[@roypase8488]

Tiny Baby Don't Want To Lift It...I Luv U Guys LoL

[@eddiepeele9810]

Nice review! I'm also considering the Anker F2000 with the extra battery. I know it's been out for a while but about $1000 cheaper. Also has seen lots of people reporting issues with Ecoflow products as well as customer service lately. I would be using this in a 6x12 camper, home back up the rest of the time. Thanks

[@KMCA779]

If I'm honest, it looks like a quality control problem. I think they've been using a cheap third party service... my gripes with ecoflow only seem to be increasing. Don't get me wrong, I think they're still good... I just think they're losing the edge they had when I got into their ecosystem.

[@trongnhangoaipho1090]

great review , the Eco Pro Utra also on sale now for $4250, seem like a better deal than this one for 3700

[@konkaragounakis5924]

Thanks for your review, you didn't sound as excited compared with ultra, I agree a car charger should be included. It doesn't sound like a massive upgrade from the last compared to the $$ great show thanks.

[@adrianbourdaa]

FYI in the camping community I’m in we have Barrel connector that convert to the “cigarette lighter” plug so the loss of that connector isn’t a big deal.

[@MikeSTGL]

Nice video , going to watch more of your videos. Bummer can not use 240 and 120 together.

[@evahsia]

There are L14-30 splitters to make two L14-30 connections out of one. Then one L14-30 240V leg splitter into two 120V sockets. Janky as hell but a solution to having 240V and 120V and the same time. So, not a deal killer for the DP3. Total cost ~ $60.

[@AbyNYC]

The thing i like with the delta pro was that you are able to charge from an EV charger. I haven't seen another power station with this outlet. Just another way to charge which is great. Like if using for vanlife.

[@Kamodomon]

I think the only thing I can criticize this new unit (outside of it not playing nice with the main Delta Pro unit in anyway outside of the batteries) is that you are still only able to connect 2 batteries or a battery and their gas generator. The batteries are just there for the main unit and can't do anything else. It would be nice to be able to daisy chain more batteries or be able to take the extra battery and carry it to a charging source so the main unit can continue to power you loads and you don't have to run cables everywhere or something.

[@michaelhardy195]

Great Eco flow delta pro 3 system 😎👍

[@Skylers-1414]

I just coverted all my cigarette lighter plugs to anderson plugs. Then i bought a three way anderson splitter and a anderson to cigarette adapter just in case. Anderson plugs are far more secure and are able to handle more power.

[@vqa33]

You do best reviews of these things.

[@Darth_Raider_]

Nice review. If u really don't need this delta pro 3 I'll take it!😊

[@lotuslotus718]

The outlet that you was unsure about is 220 20 amp. It is used for 220v air conditioning and splits amperage load in half

[@aalhendi]

Great video, Can I fully disable the WI-FI and Bluetooth or is it always on? That's a deal breaker so far.

[@OffgridApartment]

Pay $15 for an Anderson to cigarette port and you’ll be fine. Pay a little more and you can have multiple cigarette ports.

[@HVACRSurvival]

People don’t think about how crappy a connection the car 12v plug is. I’d rather do what your saying

[@douglaswindsor120]

It has 2 inverters you can run them in tandem adding the 2 inverters together for double the watts or in split phase 240 this is a great option it gives you the option of double watts or split phase it is odd the they aren't set up to use the plugs split phase 240 has 2 120 volt legs but when you plug in your house to the 240 split phase you have some plugins working I hope since I'm committed to a dual power system 120 AC and 12 volt DC I'm planning on putting the money I'd pay for grid tie and power in a savings account by the time my units life is over I'll have enough money to buy the best unit available and by then this unit will be obsolete and they have better units

[@luisgonzalezjr.7465]

They can keep it!

[@benniewalker312]

I don’t mind the lack of a 12 volt socket. This unit (although it does have a RV style 30 watt) is clearly meant to be more of a home backup unit than a portable camping power source. Lugging an extra teenager worth of weight in the trunk….probably not. But I know what to grab if my EV runs dead on the side of the road 😅

[@netsai61]

Can u do a side by side comparison between the DP3 and the F3800

[@jaime4272]

I belive that the f3800 can do much better these one

[@Itsjrob_]

Great video bro ! I own a couple Ecoflow products including Ecoflow delta 2 + extra battery wave 2 and a couple of 220 solar panels. I’m gong to be in the market soon for something much bigger and I’m debating on the delta 2 max or the delta 3 pro but with the brand new refreshed version of the wave two and the Delta three pro I’m assuming a refresh version is coming for the Delta two and Delta two max as well👀 might hold off until a brand new delta2 or delta 2 max is released. My guess is it will be a smaller version of the Delta three Pro

[@cyborwhat]

Re; no cigarettes lighter type plug. There are adaptors that convert the barrel plug to a cigarette lighter type plug.

[@Erin-Thor]

But it looks so pretty!

[@Tumbleweed5150]

For the 12 Volt output lacking the "barrel plug", you could make one with Anderson inputs and a "barrel plug" output fairly easily. So, not a game changer, but not a deal breaker either.

[@Nikitafrom233]

Thanks for the video, though you not completely right about 12V socket, Anderson-12V Car adapter works great. You can have 2 car sockets with that DC-Car socket adapter. It is true about 1 more cable and it's bad they removed it, still no need to use 110/220 for camping stuff.

[@SteadyShadow]

i'll wait for EcoFlow Delta Pro 4. because my EcoFlow Delta Pro 1 has it all for me. i really need that 12v plug. plus it was cheaper.

[@Tumbleweed5150]

I would rather cut off the cigar plug and wire in an Anderson plug. Much safer and way less likely to come out, especially on bumpy roads.

[@wigenite]

12:17 have barrell connector adapters from previous power stations that did the same thing...

[@donaldgray5561]

Use the Anderson 12v connector for dc use, get a matching Anderson connector to cigarette lighter adapter.

[@geraldwatkins3543]

Spin the outlets so that if anything lands on it you won't get shocked.

[@gelu88]

For the 12v thing, isn't the point that you can just get a cheap 12v barrel to car plug adapter?

[@Tumbleweed5150]

I would rather cut off the cigar plug and wire in an Anderson plug. Much safer and way less likely to come out, especially on bumpy roads.

[@matriximaster]

Not a fan of the Weight, seems like a better way to go would be 2 Delta Max's, no?

[@bikeninja956]

What would be the best suggestion for a unit for camper van build out?

[@chumanji9]

Can you add a gas dryer to the surge test. Something that most ppl have.

[@kevinhemmings1089]

y'all do know most people that use generators at home is mainly for a power outage meaning how long can it power a fridge, say one 575 watts.

[@keithhoffman5939]

I would wait to buy until they fix the things that were pointed out in this video as negatives.

[@peteoconnor5111]

😅so if I had this unit with an expansion battery would it then run a compressor?

[@donaldgray5561]

That is the standard North American 20amp 3 prong 240v receptacle, while not common to an average user it is a standard plug in the US

I’m im Europe. Haven’t seen nothing in this unit that is compelling to spend the extra money over the original Delta Pro. Only thing is it is quieter, but that I can achieve spending some 80 euros on Noctua Redux fans.

About the car cigarette, that also is a let down. But a solution is to install a fuse box with the Anderson port. Definitely another annoyance.

[@Tumbleweed5150]

I would rather cut off the cigar plug and wire in an Anderson plug on the item I am plugging in. Much safer and way less likely to come out, especially on bumpy roads.

[@Sam-mc2dk]

Have you had a chance to review the Walrus G2 from BatteryEvo? It seems like a great value for the money.

[@nar907]

Your discount code does not work and what do you mean when you say you need two Delta periods to run 240? The Delta pro has 240 on the front like the Delta pro 3.

[@Moes_Prep_and_Tech]

Could you do a Review of the Ecoworthy Solar Tracker?

[@Bamabrute85]

Its a nice product with some decent upgrades but I dont think it's worth $1,000 more than the original Delta Pro. I've seen the origonal Delta Pro at The Home Depot for $1999.

[@JD-yx7be]

The delta pro was originally $3600 then it got discounted. I'm sure the same will happen to this

[@JohnSmith-lv8xk]

I would like to see testing with two units and the hub, can it pass through charge with the hub attached ??

[@NaughtyRobin]

We don't need the size of screen. Instead, just put few more useful type c onto it.

[@gabriellobo25]

First to like your vedio bro. Keep it up

[@jimjr9143]

The only issue i see is it costs way too much . Every time they charge to much money it forces many to learn how to just build there own . Building your own gets you a lot more storage capacity and gets rid of these portable limitations

[@Moes_Prep_and_Tech]

Question? Is the Delta Pro Ultra expansion batteries compatible with this? That would be Awesome if it was

[@ivanlaboy]

Hi. This unit seems a response from ecoflow to Zendure Superbase V. How this unit compares to the Zendure Superbase V4600?

[@BigSil57]

Can we get the head to head comparison between this one and the Anker F3800. Think they're the only stand alone 240 v units....

[@TheSolarLab]

Stay tuned 👀👀👀

[@KiamatDusk]

How many days can it run the Ecoflow Wave 2 (heating and cooling), Ecoflow Glacier, and a CPAP (a lot of folks are buying power banks specifically to run their CPAP)? Is this the one power bank to power the whole campsite and, if so, for how long?

[@T7RSky]

Question on Passthrough. You showed 120->120 worked, but can it do 120->240?

[@antiatrophy72890]

We'd like to know if the power stations that output 240v can handle the surge of a well pump. For those of us that live in rural areas, we want to be able to flush the toilet when the power goes out 😂

[@Tumbleweed5150]

Just put a Soft Start on the well pump.

[@traktion9]

@7:38 The battery was only at 41%, not a fair test, charge it up first.

[@mthomas6]

I looked on your you tube vids, didn't see Ac200max? Please review, and is the b300s best battery for expansion? Or what do you recommend?

[@reinaldoalicea6631]

I got a night food truck and i need a lot of power i got (sandwich unit,ac 12btu ,fridge ,fan and led light) so this is a no no?

[@donaldgray5561]

Would like to know how you connected the lift and compressor to the 240v twist lock receptacle, are you sure you were connected to both hot legs and not a single hot and the neutral?

[@ursularandle683]

I live in louisiana, where Air Conditioning is necessary during hurricane season. I would like to know if this unit can power a window unit for a 250 sq ft room at least overnight running on low but max cool. Also we have 2 refrigerators and two freezers that do mot have to run continuously, can the unit handle that?

[@vagike]

Compatible with their smart generator??

[@RyderNight99]

Can you compare this with the f3800? Thanks

[@baaboo21]

Deep well 240 volt well pump please.

[@user-xv6tc2yq8t]

Do you know if it will work/function standing up (Vertical). I have a tall cabinet in RV. Thanks

[@piratemakers]

can you lift it by yourself ? put it on your car trunk alone ?

[@kevtop351]

Will the Delta Pro 3 run a 15000 BTU Window Air Conditioner and a residential refrigerator?

[@sxm-mal]

How much you paid for it?

[@stevenlilly]

It really bothers me that they turned the TT30 receptical upside down.. Most all TT30 are oriented with the ground up..

[@BrianJeffersonTecson]

Will it work with a Delta 2 Max unit + Delta pro 3 extra battery?

[@premier4744]

Literally fuck the car plug, idk anyone who uses that shit anyways and I'm in a 3rd world bitch of a country.... everything should be regular ac plug or usb and i pray they remove the car plug in favor of usb plugs on the new river cause that the only reason ive been waiting for the update this long

[@e.dewildt8608]

Al the youtube videos are talking rhat the delta pro has no 240v but i am from europe and as far as i know we have 4x 240v because we do not have 110v. Can you explain?

[@Tumbleweed5150]

It's probably because those videos are made by folks here in the USA, rather than in Europe. The ecoflow products made for the US most likely have the 120V, while their products made for sale in Europe probably have 230V.

[@ReviewingTech101]

Use xboost to power the car lift and air compressor

[@TheSolarLab]

xbost isn't true power. We have gone over this in other ecoflow videos, its pulling voltage and that effects the equipments ability to run.

[@ibcyt]

Can you guys do a Segway CUbe series

[@davef.2329]

Concurred. Looks like you covered all the bases. Thanks.

[@RubenGracia-h8l]

question ? while i using my 2 delta pro 3 and 50 amp hub to provide power to my camper . can i recharge my delta pro 3 at the same time with my ecoflow generators thru the 110 volts outlet in the back of my delta pro 3?

[@Jujubean9795]

It only kept a lightbulb on for 60 minutes🧐

[@chrisrobison2574]

New to solar & I’ve been thinking about getting something like this for emergencies, but you said “off grid” & I’m a little confused. From what I read on these you have to have internet to use the app & you have to use the app to speak to this power station. If I’m wrong can you explain. Kind of counter intuitive if you ask me. I’ve seen countless videos on the Ecoflow Pro 3 & It seems everything goes through the app. If anyone has a link to a video showing otherwise I’d appreciate it.

[@TheStopwatchGod]

Is this video really in HDR?

[@bryrusmi4001]

0:46 sounds like a dryer/washer? I must be old school. I prefer basic appliances. Fewer breakdowns.

[@JimmyG1776]

I just want to know one thing, can I plug in my 240w dryer and will it run it at med or high heat settings?

[@JD-yx7be]

might have to start it on low heat until the dyer is up to speed then up the heat setting. The surge rating is not supper high

[@JD-yx7be]

Not sure why you would run a dryer with a such expensive unit. Hang drying is zero energy.

[@dm.b7560]

Do they make these for Europe in 220v?

[@JimEdds]

Wish it had 12V socket to run my CPAP machine. Hello Ecoflow ...lots of people use CPAP.

[@booboo1343]

u can get an adapter and still be able to use your cpap machine via the barrel connector DC5521 * 1, 5A Max. to 12v cigarette lighter port. Amazon has these for reasonable prices.

[@Robert_H_Diver]

Get an Anderson to 12v socket cord

[@Runpierre]

Can you charge a Tesla?

[@itzdcx7991]

what does Hawk Tuah mean?

[@cpoul]

Can it run a well pump on 240?

[@Tumbleweed5150]

You might need to wire in a Soft Start to do that. Others may know better than I, though.
