Is it just me seeing a design flaw with the DP3 ? It uses 2 mppt with different input voltages but with similar connection XT60i or XT60. What happens when someone connects their high PV array to a low input mppt by mistake ? Like 142V into the 60V mppt ?

Very good (unbiased) 3X Comparison! Just this week, I received my 2nd Bluetti AC180P, after having the other 2 big 3. As for service, all 3 have been trouble-free. It basically came down to bang for my buck, features, and watt vs weight. ~ JW

[@shelley131]

Best video review I have seen on this unit yet, by a huge margin. If I were to buy another EcoFlow product it would be this one. This fits the bill in one nice package and for me I am not into being completely off grid but do experience frequent outages in Texas due to storms. Thanks to you I placed an order for an EG4 off grid inverter and the EG4LL battery that will complete my set up for emergencies at a lower cost. The cons for me at the moment is the cost, and the weight of the unit. I used to worry about customer service with EcoFlow until recently when I had to send 2 EcoFlow Delta max 2000 and a river pro back. I thought it would cost me an arm and a leg for shipping but was thoroughly surprised when they sent me shipping labels. In less than 3 weeks they had replaced every unit I sent on their dime. So knowing this unit is a beast and weighs a lot I feel confident that EcoFlow will take care of all their customers within time should they have problems. Another feature I do not like about this unit is that the handle is very low. For older people like myself and those with limited mobility, I feel it would be easier for them to move the unit around if the handle that extends was on the top. If you still have to bend down and lift it at its fulcrum for leverage it could still be very heavy. I don't remember if it is anker or someone else that has the handle on top. The final thing that I find as a con is the solar input it provides. If I were to buy it with extension batteries, I have doubts that it would be able to recharge the batteries fully on a solar day. All in all EcoFlow has hit this one out of the ball park as you always do with your videos. Great, great job!

What eg4 are you getting, I'm think of doing the same thing. How many batteries are you starting at.

[@Kantuski]

Nicely done Jason! It is heavy, but when I think about my 240 setup from 2 years ago, 2 Renogy 1000s and a split phase hub, I realized they weighed 42.5 pounds each, for 85 pounds, plus the hub and the cables. So this is not only reasonable in comparison, but since it is an all-in-one unit, much easier to setup and store. I love the technology improvements and the pricing is not a deal breaker. Thanks Again!!

Could you use the 240v infinity cable you showed with a 30amp adapter to charge the dp3 or dpu with the 30amp output of the ecoflow generator 4000? Or will that adapter and port only do 240v?

[@johntate5284]

Glad you broke from waiting until Friday to review this one! The Anker 3800 finally has some real competition:) The Anker has the edge on split phase output at 6KW vs 4KW for the EcoFlow but the 120 V only charging for the Anker kills it for anything except an emergency where as the EcoFlow can be fully integrated into your home for true online backup of critical loads during a blackout. This one is definitely on my short list. I'm really looking forward to what else they will be bring out later this year. Since they have a cooler / ice maker and a portable heat pump, maybe the next thing will be a good portable microwave, (the micro Wave II!). Thanks for your very thorough and first review!

[@Jasonoid]

This is basically a mini DPU. Lots of similar features but just smaller. It definitely beats some of the annoyances of the F3800 but it is more expensive.

[@andrewvillavicencio8496]

True, I sometimes wish I had held off on buying the F3800 on kickstarter, but I was able to get it, a 400W solar panel and some extras for a little over 2K; figure that was a great deal :-)

I agree!

[@baneverything5580]

I ordered a Victron 100/30 charge controller. I was finally able to find the "lithium" setting in my big clunker MPPT and it says in that mode it only has "float" setting that reverts to 13.80 which is exactly when my plug-in charger light turns green. But I can`t understand all the other settings. Float numbers can be changed. I can only get 300w using 10 gauge cables. Other larger ones won`t fit. So with the Victron added to this I can use three more 100w panels to keep the battery fully charged on sunny days and run my 400w air conditioner. I plan to get a 2nd Victron since it has a LiFeP04 setting and probably better instructions and so many use them I`ll be able to get advice. I don`t want to damage my battery using the other one.

[@rcguymike]

The Victron is limited to 30 amps on both sides, PV input and charging output. With a 12v system you can only get ~400W max. Switch to a 48V system and you can get up to ~1600W. Make sure your panels are wired in series to get as close to 100V as possible but find an online calculator if you plan to run the system when it gets cold out

Great review! One thing that may have been missed is linking up to 3 of these with an EcoFlow Smart Home Panel 2 would provide surge capacity of +12kW if needed. Granted that's significantly more expensive but I believe the Smart Panel does a lot of heavy lifting with handling any issue along the way.

[@Jasonoid]

If you are going to sped that much money in a system, just get the Ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra. It's much more capable and provides more wattage.

Did I hear you right, not only is there no pass thru charging when charging from a EV station, but both AC inverters are disabled? That’s a major bummer.

@@Jasonoid I need it for mobile use, with limited amounts of solar. It’s different from home/cabin use. So my best bet is still to use a 240v-J adapter and a 240v/48v European charge controller to charge a server rack housebank. It’s expensive though.

[@michaelbeatty130]

The manual states that the AC in/out (infinity) port - as with the smart home panel 2 - disables all the AC outlets. I’m curious if instead using the IEC C20 inlet @ 240V 16A = 3.8 kW would leave the outputs enabled. I’m about how the backup reserve feature (primarily charge with solar, but backstop with AC to keep the station online) works on the DP3. I haven’t seen any manufacturer offer this feature, which seems like a no-brainer!

[@Jasonoid]

It appears the C20 port is limited to 1800 watts, whether it's 120v or 240v input.

Looks like a improved version of the Zendure SuperBase V to me. I own one and it’s basically the same thing with a slight higher inverter. Hopefully their QC is better than Zendure. I got a good one but I’ve heard the horror stories. Thankfully Brian Liu is trying to get things in order.

[@johndelabretonne2373]

Jason, great review! I really like this unit; it's the right balance of power capacity and portability, and I really like how small the external batteries are and that they can now stack, making it take up very little floor space, and I love the DC output. However, the MSRP really kills the excitement for me; this thing would be exciting at $2999 (66% of the launch price of the Delta Pro Ultra for 66% of the capacity of the DPU), and I think that would have made it the 1st A+ on your scoring system. At this MSRP, unless portability is really high on your list, I think it is so much better to just spend a little extra on a Delta Pro Ultra!

[@Jasonoid]

I'm not sure why they didn't give me a $500 coupon for my viewers but you can get $500 off right now on their website and their Amazon store. So the price could be around $3199

Please if you know any difference between the us and uk models try and include them in the video for us non us customers, your reviews are great and in depth as always.

I didn't test the UK model but I'm guessing the main difference is going to be the inverter output. You probably wont have a 120v inverter and you'll just have one larger 240v option. The solar should be very similar, along with the DC output options.

Great review. Very thorough. Thanks for all the effort you put into this. Seems like a great unit especially for the 240 volt output. I will have to look to see how it compares to the ultra. Not sure which is cheaper. I definitely like how quiet it is. And I like the high voltage solar input. Makes it worth looking into. I am pretty sure you can build something like this for less money, but I have no idea how much an inverter that does 240 split phase costs. I am not sure if the Hysolis units have 240 split phase at all. I am pretty sure they are about the same price as this one.

[@Jasonoid]

This is priced slightly less than the Ultra just because the battery and inverter are smaller. A DIY inverter like this one ( signaturesolar.com/eg4-6000xp-off-grid-inverter-split-phase/ ) can put out 240v split phase, they aren't too expensive.

[@adriftatlas]

Very impressive tech on this unit and you're testing is top notch! I do wonder if future River models will have 10ms UPS too. One thing that interests me is how these units handle unstable power; brownouts, surges, and frequency issues. A traditional UPS has AVR. Do these units have an equivalent? Is that something you can ask EcoFlow? How would one simulate that for a test?

[@bekismith4097]

How can I charge Delta Pro 3 at EV station? Can you talk about that and what’s needed and how fast it charges it at EV station

Great video! Loved the solar charging segment. I like to think in terms of total energy independence. How much wattage does your big fridge draw? Fridges are my big concern.

[@Jasonoid]

Fridge power usage all depends on ambient temperature. You'll see much more power usage when it's warm in your house vs when its cold in the winter. Msot fridges pull 1 to 2 kwh per day on average. This won't have any issues running a fridge for a couple days.

[@shazboticon]

The usable capacity/runtime math doesn't seem to add up. You mentioned a 300-600W average load while testing and the battery lasted for 13 hours with a usable capacity of 3810Wh. Even at a constant 300W draw it shouldn't last but 12.7 hours. And with the actual load average higher than that I would expect a 7-10 hour runtime. What am I missing?

[@douglaswindsor120]

So it looks like they finally have put 2of their original units together in one unit and the joiner is built in with the ability to use the either joined fot double the watts or as split phase 240 that's why you can't use both 4000 watts 120 volts and the 240 volts split phase at the same time and the price while high will one day be affordable i?I figure once I cut the grid and put the 200 dollars a month for grid tie plus the 50 dollars a month power use won't take long to save up for one maybe by then there will have something better and or lower priced

I'm running truly off grid so my only options for charging are solar and a 120V/240V inverter dual-fuel generator. Based on your review, it sounds like I can only charge, via generator, at 120V AC? Or will it recharge at 240V AC? And it also sounds like you can't run in 240V spilt-phase and recharge at 240V AC? But you CAN recharge at 120V AC and run in 240V split phase.

[@Jasonoid]

It can charge with 120v input all the time, and run both inverters. So 120v input = 120v output and 240v output. When you charge it with 240v input, it disables all inverters so you can't power anything.

[@baaboo21]

They should have 2x150v solar charge controllers. That would have made this unit #1. DPU is still king.

@@Jasonoid thankyou mate. And one more for you, I’m in Australia and yet to get my unit. Hopefully today, Do you think it’s worth setting up and getting the 3pin plug on the 16 amp supply ( the one on the side ) or just use 1 of the 15amp points on the front of the unit if using for home supply through a transfer changeover switch. Ie, does any of the front 240/15amp supply provide the full amount of power or are they reduced as 3600 max watts?

[@Gidyupcowboy]

Nice machine. I just did a pre order for the new pecron with EB for my truck camper but this was my top choice though a bit more expensive. What do the 30amp RV outlet usually run off of? AC or DC power?

[@Jasonoid]

The Pecron is quite the deal vs this one being almost double the cost. An RV setup has both DC and AC loads so the power station will need to power both. So you'll use both 30amp outputs actually.

[@superwandass43ver]

Can I use this as backup power 24/7 for my house?

[@Jasonoid]

Thats one use case for sure! That's how I would use it, to power critical loads like fridges and other essentials.

[@mrct309]

How well does it handle unbalanced 240v split phase loads? Can it provide 4kw to 1 leg in split phase 240v?

[@Jasonoid]

No, you have to balance the legs pretty evenly just like what you'd want to do I'm your home main panel.

[@Bob-hu6up]

I don't use a smart phone so can this generator be programed through the unit it self?

[@Jasonoid]

The default settings will work just fine but if you want to make any changes to the advanced settings you'll need a smart device.

[@HomesteadEngineering]

Nice review!

[@dsmith6404]

How many charges does this take Before It won't charge anymore ?

[@Jasonoid]

I've had good luck with Ecoflow products but when my River 2 Pro died they replaced it under warranty with free shipping. I think their support is better than most other power station companies.

[@jamesd.johnson6047]

Good video. I bought one for myself!

[@Jasonoid]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@davet4580]

Why is this inverter so much more efficient when on with no load than the f3800?

[@Jasonoid]

The inverter size of the DP3 matches it's internal battery size (4000w and 4096wh) The inverter size of the F3800 is 6000w and the battery is 3800wh. It's almost a 2 to 1 ratio on the F3800.

[@itsGatorBaby]

Looking for some knowledgeable opinions. Delta pro 3 or anker f3800? It will be my first solar gen purchase and not sure which to purchase.

[@Jasonoid]

Did you watch my F3800 video? That will definitely help you decide! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYLPm3V8rdajas0

[@brotherhood-n-arms]

@jasonoid which one would you recommend for whole house backup? This Delta Pro 3 or the Anker Solix 3800?

[@Jasonoid]

I think it's better to have the higher solar input voltage on the DP3 and the 240v inverter doesn't shut off when AC charging like it does on the Anker F3800. The DP3 is more expensive though... I made a whole video about getting around the "quirks" of the F3800 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnfPg56Dop2lesUsi=GmKtwyWxJ7IkYb9u

[@dbnoho]

I am not the expert. So listen to others for a final decision. But as a person in the same boat. If you are hooking to a smart home panel. The f3800 is better. Solely because it’s similar batter but 6k output. That’s the difference between a a/c, a tv and fridge. Or just an a/c If you wanted to say, charge during off peak hours or with panels. No smart panel. And just run fridges and computers etc. with the unit in house. Get the dp3. Every time. But if you wanted to do a whole house backup. With smart hub. Get the f3800. Mainly because the price to the party is so different. If you want to expand and expand and expand. Ecoflow is better overall. But you buy one f3800. You get 6k output and almost 4K battery. Dp3 you get 4K output. And 4K battery. So now you want to upgrade. A year later. Whatever. Maybe you catch a great sale. Two f3800 is going to have 12k output. That’s your entire house. I don’t care where you live. I have 3 A/c units and 4,600 sq ft home. That can power all of it. Two dp3. That’s 8k output. That can power 85% of the homes out there. So if you’re in the 85%. Good. But if you needed the extra push. You need a third unit. (That’s whole home backup.) and fortunately. The dp3 can get a third unit. The f3800 cannot. But now you’re $12,000 in. (Hopefully you get tax credit.) And you have 12,000 watt output. And 12,000 battery. And that’s awesome. That’s a lot. But you are $12,000 in. F3800. You have 12,000 output and 8,000ish battery. But you’re, with sales. $6,500 in. Which, you could easily wait for a sale. A bundle. Whatever. Buy extra batteries. Now if you have solar. Right now on your roof. The reason to really consider f3800. When it has smart hub installed it reads how much power is coming from solar. How much is being used on the house. And then it charges up with the excess. The other systems to my knowledge do not have that ability. Maybe they can update. No clue. But Anker is the only one with ac coupling. So if you have solar panels right now. Done. Anker. But if I had to choose right now. No solar on my roof. I just want to buy a couple panels and set something up in the yard. Shed. Whatever. I would use ecoflow. Mainly because every single source says Anker is more or less trying to shoehorn people into their panels. And their panels are great. But it’s $1000 for 400 watt panels. I can buy the same renelogy panels off Amazon for $400ish. So you want to buy 1600w in panels that’s $4000 or so from Anker. Or, you do the work arounds which are very possible. (He attached a video) or you can just get an ecoflow and plug and party for $1600. A massive price difference. If I lived in a one A/C house. I personally would get the ecoflow. Since I don’t. It’ll probably be Anker only because I live in California and they seem to look at previous systems and time of use. And others don’t.

[@rcguymike]

You can "shoehorn" anyone into specific panels. Every solar panel has wires with a voltage coming out, you either buy an adapter or cut the ends off and terminate with a proper cable. If your solar panels don't come with MC4 you should probably look elsewhere 😅. Also if you need more than a thousand watts worth of panels you should be seriously looking at getting a pallet or partial pallet of panels delivered. You can get brand new 30 year warranty Aptos panels for less than $.30/W. Usually there is a minimum order quantity, for example signature solar has a minimum of 10, but you're going to get way more. I just got during their spring sale an EG4 LL-S 5kWh battery and 3700W of solar panels for ~$2600 to my door.

[@Juls4731]

pecron 3600 has a great pre sale, I was hoping to see your review before dropping the $$$$. how long before you post your review?

I've done a bit of testing, most everything is looking great so far. No red flags. Aiming for July 19th

Delta Pro was from "2nd line" due to LIFEPO4 battery. So next gets "3" name

I'm pretty sure they are coming out with a Delta 3 and a River 3 lineup sometime soon.

[@chriscarlock5422]

Can you run a sump pump to the front panel of this unit and have the unit plugged into regular wall outlet to have it act as a UPS for a sump pump? And after the power drains can it be automatically turned back on once batteries are charged?

[@Jasonoid]

Yes, it can have the inverter enabled and charge at the same time on both the 120v and 240v output. You can also enable a setting in the smart app that will "remember" the last known output setting before it died so it will turn on the AC inverter again.

[@brendanlim]

Mind if I ask what cable you’re using? Is your Reliance transfer switch using a 50A 3-prong inlet? (CS6375 or CS6364)? Thank you!

[@wt9653]

I can't seem to change the fast charging from 1800 watts to slow charging? The slide only controls the output watts? Is there something missing?

[@Jasonoid]

You swap the unit to "custom / slow charging" through the switch and then you can adjust the charging wattage in the smart app under the settings. That's the only way to adjust the speed.
