[@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 :-)

[@johndelabretonne2373]

​@@JasonoidThanks Jason for the sneak peek! I'm super excited to see your thoughts on it! As much as I'd like to go with this to stay in the Ecoflow ecosystem, I just can't get passed the sticker shock... I have a feeling that the Pecron will deliver over 90% of what this does for less than half the price!

[@zfontain1975]

@Jasonoid is the e3600 inverter strong. Meaning, can you go over 3600 watts without shutting off right away?

[@Jasonoid]

@@zfontain1975 i haven't tested that yet, we'll find out.

[@JimmyPhones1]

But the Pecron is only 120V? You have to buy two E3600s to get 240 split phase. Or am I missing something?

[@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!

[@zfontain1975]

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

[@shelley131]

@@zfontain1975 I got the EG4 off grid inverter 3KW inverter and the EG4 LL 48V battery. It it about 150 bucks more than the EG4 Life Power 4 battery but the warranty on the LL battery is 10 years instead of 5 years.

[@zfontain1975]

@shelley131 Are you going to connect eg4 inverter to a transfer switch? I'm going to do the same thing, just one battery at a time do to money.

[@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?

[@JBK415]

Thank you! I would be very interested to see a detailed analysis comparing EcoFlow Pro 3 vs EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra. What are the difference in performance and what strengths and weaknesses when compared to each other.

[@Jasonoid]

This model is basically a mini delta pro ultra. Smaller inverter, smaller battery, same great performance though.

[@robertlee6781]

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.

[@jw3843]

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.

[@mrct309]

great to see a test for the 240v AC in will disable AC out

[@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

[@aalhendi]

Thank you for this great video! I have one small question, is it possible to use the battery without the app? Can I FULLY disable wifi and Bluetooth connectivity? Most of the ecoflow products I see are always broadcasting Bluetooth.

[@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.

[@mclaine33]

Great review. This new version seems like a nice upgrade. However... idk what Ecoflow was thinking when they mounted the electrical outlets on their side. What a PITA to plug something in. It looks like there was enough room on the device to have the mounted normally.

[@Dragonballzgtvegeta]

Best Review!!!! I wish I could get one! Can you use a traditional Generator to charge it, esp if the THD is not good 23%?

[@Jasonoid]

These power stations really prefer 'inverter generators' with a pure sine wave to charge.

[@anthonym5395]

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.

[@anthonym5395]

@@Jasonoid Absolutely correct. Did not know the surge capacities of the DPU's. And I'm seeing that they can be linked to handle wattage surges over 22kW. Unreal!

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.

[@baaboo21]

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

[@smallqwaro]

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.

[@Jasonoid]

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.

[@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

[@pstoneking3418]

Does this generator still have the reserve power feature in the app that the Delta Pro has? This gives you the ability to set when the unit will charge from just solar or charge from solar & AC simultaneously. Nice feature. Hopefully, they kept it on this unit.

[@Jasonoid]

Yes, it has all the fancy Ecoflow app settings like the Ultra!

[@toddincabo]

👍 Very god job. Did I miss how much standby power the inverter uses? Thanks

Here's a video I made on that topic: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnyXe36jm9OXnpo

[@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.

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

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. My main buying reason for both the Delta Pro and Dekra Pro 3 is the EV charging input. But not if the power bank sits useless while I’m doing it. 😭 nées fixing

[@Jasonoid]

Correct, 240v input disables the inverters. Maybe it will be upgraded later?

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

@@Jasonoid I’d hope so. Without it, I might as well get a Delta Max 2. Actually, I prefer the BLUETTI AC200P …

@@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk I charge with solar 99% of the time. 1800w of AC charging is fine with me. My constant loads are around 800w to 1000w on my critical loads panel.

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

@@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.

[@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.

@@Jasonoid hopefully fingers , thanks again for making great non-biased videos

[@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.

[@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

[@Jasonoid]

The fans are louder than the Ultra, nothing is more quiet than the Ultra.

[@lucasclemente4912]

How long can I run a device that draws 30 amps?

[@Jasonoid]

4096wh X 90% efficient = 3686wh 120v @ 30 amps = 3600 watts Runtime is calculated by 3686wh / 3600w = 1.02 hours To get reasonable runtime you'll want to run critical loads only You'll get longer runtimes with solar input (2300 watts is reasonable on this unit) or picking up expansion batteries.

[@smallqwaro]

You sure they skipped 2? I'm pretty sure I heard about it somewhere.

[@Jasonoid]

Yep, there is no Delta Pro 2, just the 3.

[@djjumpe]

Can someone please tell me if you can use the delta pro 3 extra battery on the delta pro and vice versa???? I have delta pro extra battery.

[@djjumpe]

nm lol

[@Jasonoid]

Glad I covered that 👍😂

[@JoeyDee86]

Anyone else been able to get the 2 years no interest on affirm?

[@JoeyDee86]

Is there a floating neutral on the 240v?

[@Jasonoid]

I'm guessing the ground would behave similarly on both the 120v and 240v output. Charging from AC power is grounded Not charging is floating

[@JoeyDee86]

@@Jasonoid the reason I ask is for 240v the inverter is running full time, where as 120v is passthrough. Do you mind testing it when you have a chance?

[@Jasonoid]

@@JoeyDee86 I just tested for you: -240v output is floating when not AC charging from 120 -240v output is grounded when AC charging.

[@JoeyDee86]

@@Jasonoid interesting, thank you! I’m asking because in my RV I wanted a 2nd auto transfer switch, and those can be fussy with floating neutrals. Basically switch between shore/generator, then going into another switch that goes between DP input and DP output, so if there’s shore power or generator, it would charge the DP, but when there isn’t, the DP would power.

[@nebulaM16]

Hi I’m new in this game and I’m from Slovenia EU, I don’t understand what’s with this 240W? All EU appliances are 220W, so why is this such a big deal? As much as I understand not all portable solar power generators 240W, why is that?

[@VideoNOLA]

Seems silly that Ecoflow elected not to let the Delta Pro 3 interconnect with the older Delta Pro.

[@Jasonoid]

Works with the DP batteries though.

[@JimMcPartland]

That thing looks big enough for you to crawl inside! LOL

[@Jasonoid]

I tried that and got stuck inside for about 30 minutes. Never gonna try that again!

[@millenium2003]

Why am I watching this when I know I can't afford it 😂

[@Jasonoid]

I still appreciate you watching and commenting. Good things will come your way!

[@vasik363]

People who has 230v in grid (other countries) just sympathize with those who has 120/240... One input type, one output type

[@Jasonoid]

I feel ya!

[@OnusBones]

This is a very nice-looking unit. I think I need to recognize that wrangling a 113-pound beast is not realistic for me at age 64 with poopy balance. Oh well; you play the hand you're dealt. Done. Great review though.

[@panagiotisorfanos5246]

WHAT ABOUT ALTERNATOR CHARGING?😮😮😮

[@Jasonoid]

You can buy an xt150 adapter that connects to the expansion battery port to get the alternator charger connected. Yes it's compatible with it.

[@panagiotisorfanos5246]

THANKS ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊​@@Jasonoid

[@Paulwilliams203]

Nice review but why on earth would the early adopters pay that price, worth waiting off for a while and see what deals become available, only fools pay retail?

[@Jasonoid]

There actually is an unannounced $500 off coupon right now. Not sure why they didn't tell me it would be available. So it has a slight discount off retail.

[@markjob6354]

*@**1:32**: What the hell good is only 240 Volts AC at 16.6 Amps ? The old Delta Pro gave you 240 AC @ a full 30 Amps, if you used two machines. You cannot run a house on 16.6 Amps of Current ! Even 30 is barely capable of 10 circuits !*

[@Jasonoid]

It's 4000 watts, you chose 120v or 240v. That's plenty of power to run critical loads. During a power outage you don't run a clothes dryer or all the electronics / appliances in your house.

[@markjob6354]

@@Jasonoid That's a rather disingenuous response, and You know it ! Look Mr. Salesman - I don't care what you say ! 16.6 Amps is NOT ENOUGH CURRENT TO RUN MANY CRITICAL LOADS ! It's not even enough current to run some stove ovens and air conditioners. Yes, it is enough current to run (modern) well pumps. In order to do an effective critical loads home backup, one needs 30 to 50 Amperes of current. Why ? This is due to the way most residential homes are wired to North American UL and CSA standards and local electrical codes. The core wiring of most 100 Amp service houses are mainly on 12 circuits, with a total of 24 to 36 circuits. You need enough current to typically be able to run at least 12 seperate home circuits in your house. This is 4 x 4. Or 12 divided by 4. 1. Kitchen. 2. bedroom. 3. living room. 4. Basement with the Basement and kitchen containing all or most of the 240 Volt AC loads. Electrical physics and math doesn't lie ! 16.6 Amps is a bizarre, arbitrary limit, which is insufficient for any level of home backup.

[@Jasonoid]

@@markjob6354 I'm not a sales person and I didn't tell anyone to buy this product. I only provided detailed testing data 👍 ... I guess we have a different perspective on what critical loads are. Running large 240v appliances will empty anyone's battery system in hours, even server rack batteries... A 4000watt AC? A 5000watt electric stove? In an extended outage run a microwave, or a window AC unit. You have to be aware of your loads while running off a battery and make a cognitive change vs normal power usage.

[@markjob6354]

@@Jasonoid I never suggested one not take awareness of critical loads versus unnecessary loads in a power out, home backup scenario, but feeding 240 Volts AC into a home wired circuit box with under-current supply will not only overwhelm power battery reserves of the solar genny, and/or external, extra batteries quickly, but also heat up wires and generate possibly dangerous levels of circuit heating, as the rising resistance of the under current supplied circuit creates a runaway reaction. The OG EcoFlow Delta Pro is actually a safer proposition electricly, because A) Delta Pro's only have (1) One AC inverter circuit. B) The inverter is a lower Voltage AC @ 120 Volts. C) You need two of the OG Delta Pro's connected to produce 240 Volts AC, but this resulted in a much higher current output of roughly 30 Amps, versus the single DP3's 16.6 Ampere 240 Volts AC output capability. I would personally not connect only one DP3 to a home power box, rather, I would get the new 50 Amp Voltage Hub and connect 2 x DP3's in split phase, before using them as a home power backup solution.

[@Jasonoid]

@@markjob6354 at that point it's probably a better option to go with the Delta Ultra instead of two DP3s. More solar and a much more quiet setup that stacks vertically. The benefit to the Ultra is that if the inverter / charging system is completely separate from the battery system. So if the inverter or charging input has an issue, you can easily swap it out with a new unit, unlike the DP3 which is one solid unit with a battery (with lithium shipping restrictions).

[@meateater4life551]

$3500 for this, compared to a $1000 generator and 625 gallons of gasoline at $4/gallon, I'll take the gas generator.

[@Jasonoid]

Sounds like a great option! No pressure from me 👍

[@tlteal]

Not compatible with the original Delta Pro nor the original smart home panel is a deal breaker for me. Ecoflow has abandoned the very thing (Delta Pro) that made the wildly successful with little to no backwards compatibility for the original Delta Pro architecture. Solar is still limited to 150V which is a serious limitation as well. But it looks like ecoflow is doing the same thing they typically do --- handing these new devices to the youtube influencers to "endorse" in exchange for free equipment hence why there are dozens, if not more, of these videos out there. I will say that you (Jason) do a much better job testing them than most i've seen and try to be as objective as you can.

[@BigStipowski]

Ok enough with the AM radio test.. what percentage of your viewers use an AM radio.. And then of that percentage what percent will use it within inches of the inverter.. usually inverters are on the ground away from things anyways.. Not on a desktop or counter.. and really.. Is there any inverter that it doesn't cause noise.. I've watched about all of them and never seen one that had caused interference with an AM radio when placed within a foot of the inverter.. please just delete that test...

[@Jasonoid]

I had tons of people ask for it awhile back and now I get the first person for me to get rid of it 🤣😂 I ll do the tests people are asking for and I'll stop them if more people think the same thing.
