You mentioned the price compared to capacity, and the big weight difference that's made even clearer by your face expressions. I think it's also important to underline that the Ecoflow has 80% more capacity than the Anker, and weighs "just" 48% more. So Ecoflow has packed more in the same volume, and that's usually always more expensive in general.

[@LarryRichelli]

the other thing is that Ecoflow sells the referb pro for $2179 which makes the price closer.....I would go for this but not sure about lifting 100lbs

@@LarryRichelli how often do you have to move your battery to be concerned about the weight?!

[@dougj3528]

@@gerusher6682 i own the delta pro, and while I use the built in wheels to go from room to room, I do have to lift it a lot to get over high thresholds. However, the handles on the delta pro are life savers in that regard.

[@Erin-Thor]

Excellent point, but the price also reflects that capacity.

[@Jasonoid]

Little bit of a stretch on the comparison, pretty much apples to oranges between these two model. It's kinda like comparing a sports car to a diesel truck and each one has their advantages. The Anker has excellent build quality and I love the quiet fans. I hope ALL companies move towards silent operation. I also love how clean the power output is on the inverter. It's one of the best inverters I have ever tested. I love the 5 yr warranty was well, BUT the EcoFlow also has a 5 year warranty. The main disadvantage, in my opinion, is the 60VOC limit on the 767. Using third party solar panels it is almost impossible to hit the 1000w mark, I have only ever been able to get 650w or so. Basically... the only way to get the full 1000 watts of solar input is to purchase five of their 'Anker 531' 200 watt solar panels and connect them together in parallel. Those panels only cost $550 each so you'd need $2750 worth of panels to get max charging. Thanks for the video! I enjoyed the conversation. Certainly different models have pros and cons for each use case so discussing these points will help others make the best decision.

[@TommyCallaway]

Thanks for your insight! I do appreciate it. I showed in the video you can use the ecoflow 400w panel. Three of those and you’ll max out 1kw.. even a little over but it will stop at 1kw. Obviously the ecoflow panel design is awful but it’s still an option, being a 48v panel.

[@Jasonoid]

@@TommyCallaway each of those 400w panels put out 40v @ 10 amps, so putting two of them together will give you 40v @ 20 amps (800 watts)... which is hitting the 20 amp charging limit on the Anker767. You can't connect three of those panels because the amperage would be well over the 20 amp limit. It's basically maxed out with two panels.

[@TommyCallaway]

@@Jasonoid Interesting!! Thank you for sharing.

[@TCPUDPATM]

Great video. The refurbished unit prices on eBay are very compelling. I’m looking at the delta pro for $1750 vs $1350 for the Anker.

[@drcsep]

EcoFlow Delta Pro with its different modifications and settings by far is much better and offers more completenesse. I have 2 Delta Pro, 1 delta pro extended smart battery and the smart generator that Anker 757 couldn’t compete and honestly, the fan noise is not a severe issue. I have my settings in a room outside my house won’t bother anyone.

[@nestnirvana]

The Ecoflow has another BIG BIG selling point. The Smart Home Panel that allows you to run your home off your battery/solar panels during off peak/emergency times that allows you to offset your electric bill.

[@evolv.e]

100% agree. I have 14.4kWh of back up (two DP’s & two Xtra DP batteries) connected to my smart home panel, with discharge/charge limits currently set to 15%/85%.. replenished by 20 rooftop panels between 8am-4pm, powering 10/16 household circuits from 4pm till 8am each day, with an average of 25-35% capacity still remaining by morning. In the rare off chance my rooftop solar is not working *and* there’s an outage, I like that I have the option of bringing DP units to an EV charging station with the Xtream/J1772 adapter that I have as alternate means of sourcing power (assuming they’ll have power when I don’t). I’ve found so far, that 14.4kWh of back up is more than sufficient for my home’s daily energy usage, powering essential and nonessential appliances 16 hours/day 4pm-8am, with ~60% of available capacity remaining before recharging off of roof top solar.. averaging about 5.8kWh per day, and could have just used 2 DP’s/7.2kWh, but wanted the option to supply emergency power to my EV’s, so I opted to double my capacity to 14.4kWh. I’ve considered adding two more DP Xtra batt’s for 21.6kWh, but haven’t found the need for more capacity at the moment. I also have a EF portable solar panel and DP 1300 for light duty back up/camping use. Overall, I’ve been quite happy with my EcoFlow Smart Panel / 14.4kWh Delta Pro back up, and the ROI created by offsetting peak usage and grid usage overall. It’s nice knowing these units will eventually pay for themselves, while providing the peace of mind of essential home battery back up.

[@Argee55732]

I cannot recall if mentioned, but I believe a huge advantage with the Ecoflow is the ability to plug into external Generlink type plug to use and override the home electrical panel.

[@__WJK__]

"Generlink" isn't proprietary to just EcoFlow, any Portable Power Station that features a 30A plug will work with Generlink.

[@AskIveSolar]

I've become a bit of a fan noise person for these power stations. Gotta love the Anker for that quiet action. The DaranEner power station is super quiet.....for now.

[@Smellslikegelfling]

A couple of these plus a few solar panels would make a great alternative to a gas generator in case of extended power outages from major storms. You could keep a fridge going almost indefinitely, or run a window AC a few hours per night when you're sleeping.

[@Bwanar1]

Assuming you have clear skies and not days of rain, like we do.

[@todd.parker]

Really great video but I think the 767 is more comparable to a Delta Max than a Pro, or the Bluetti AC200MAX. Limited solar and expansion, smaller inverter. It's an awesome unit and is my fav for a 2kw unit with a bit of expansion. The quiet fans are a killer feature.

[@LarryRichelli]

I think the 767 with the added battery is very comparable to the Delta Pro. At least that is what I am looking at right now. I am small, older guy and while 65 lbs is ok for me to lift, 100 lbs is not impossible but tuff.

Sir where to order anker 767 in from philippines

[@blkted2945]

I have the Anker 767 and love it and I did look at the ECOFLOW and the sound was the key. I use it in my Thor Sanctuary 19P and you can barely hear the Anker 767. The problem I is I cannot power my RV with it. The engineers at Thor say it is Anker that is wired wrong and the engineers at Anker say it is Thor RV Surge protection that is preventing it from powering the RV. I could care less who is right or wrong, just as long as it works. I tried the bonding ground plug by Watchdog and Southwire, both didn't work. So keep that in mind, while the Anker 767 is cheaper and works great, if you plan on power an RV, it will be challenging. I have not got mines to work. I also feel that it can do it, I am just not smart enough to figure it out. When I tested my Anker with a receptable tester, it said that reversed polarity but plugged in, it says correct wired, confusing (I would assume, it is grounded in the house). If anyone knows how to solve this issue, please advice. Also, for the solar, the Anker solar panels are heavy, he made them look like they were lightweight, don't know which ones he have, but the 200watts ones have some good weight to them. They work great. I don't regreat getting the Anker, it is so portable and useful and the I gotta give the techs at Anker their props, if I can only figure out the issues with power my RV.

[@BillNicholsTV]

One of the issue with all of these units with the TT-30 port is that on all of them except the Delta Pro are not 30 Amp Capable. The Anker can output 2400W to that port is limited to 20Amp, the Delta Pro is 3600 watts so that is a 30amp max output.

[@joealves5070]

Tommy good review.. i got both to compare. Deltapro is state of the art with options but its so loud when really being pushed.. i haven't heard a noise out the Anker f2600, it depends on your use. Make no mistake about it ecoflow is built like tank to really work hard. Anker f2600 no noise but it does not do what Deltra pro can do.. I am keeping the anker f2600 because its quite and for my purpose its the better fit. Rv use, Projector movie night, shed power.

[@anthonyabarno2302]

Wouldn't have been better if you compared the EcoFlo Delta Max 2. I believe it is also a 2400k generator weighs about the same a Anker has a quite fan and also comes with an extended warranty.

[@southern9292]

I agree, but the Delta Max 2 was not out when he made this video

[@canuck21]

[@rosario5972]

One feature of the EcoFlow Delta I like is the EV Adapter that allows you to charge your at a level 2 AC EV charging station. Hopefully Anker will release a similar adapter.

[@yoloedc5835]

That feature allowed me to recharge my Delta when the power went out in my neighborhood and it wasn't that sunny so my solar panels weren't very effective. Got some strange looks by people when I was at the chargepoint station with my Toyota pickup truck with the cables running into my truck bed where I had my Delta.

[@100toeface]

That's right, it is a very critical feature for van lifers. Does anyone know how long the 767 would take to charge from a standard ac outlet?

[@TommyCallaway]

2 hours from 0 to full

[@NoZenith]

​​@yoloedc5835 I'm trying to Google it but I'm struggling to find how long it takes to charge at level 2. I know on a typical 110 wall outlet it's supposed to take a few hours

[@JP-uo8pi]

I have 2 Ecoflow Pro plus 2 extra batteries for each, connected to a smart panel, been hooked up for just over a month. The fan speed seems to be impacted only by the amount of power being drawn (or charged), not by the ambient temperature. The batteries can be 56°, (according to the app), yet the fans will still come on full blast. Seems like they should be able to control speed by a software update, but it probably depends on where the sensors are inside. better to error on the side of too much cooling than not enough, I guess. The longer I have these things the more I learn about batteries and electricity.

[@TommyCallaway]

Very valuable information. Thank you!!

[@JustinPratt1]

It is not cooling the batteries. Inverters create a lot of heat, and the ecoflow having such a large inverter makes active cooling a huge need. Go find any inverter that can consistently put out 3600w needs a lot of cooling. Go look at any stand alone inverter and there is a huge difference between a 2000w inverter and anything over 3000w.

[@JustinPratt1]

This is also why the extra addon battery has no fan on the ecoflow. The battery is not what the fans are for.

[@muletowndumpsters]

Maybe I didn't quite understand what was being said, but to me the biggest difference in the two is the Delta Pros can run in parallel giving max output of 7200w at one time. Of course you'll have to upgrade and get the power block that allows them to sync, but that's my biggest concern. I need to power a full home.

[@thuandao4243]

It’d would be nice a demo video to see how these devices capabilities, hooked up to run your homes instead technical, like old fridge, air fryer….how much wattage they generally takes and how long……most us can’t figure out what is good investment for a small apt, than regular house, not everyone has $ to gamble, buy then find out too late in er situations. I can barely afford to get one not 2+ . Tech specs doesn’t help much for a newbie’s first purchase.

[@everydaycarry1328]

I just received the Pecron E2000LFP cost me $1110.55 shipped I know it's only a 2Kw inverter but the battery tests above average capacity with expansion batteries that extend to 8kwh. Each battery can except 500 watts of solar and have a 100 watt USB C port and 12V port

[@rchapoteau]

This is what I was thinking also. The maker is nice because of the 30 amp plug but price wise I might as well buy a peceron.

[@MyChannel-vm6dw]

Really good video. I'm closely watching if Anker will do a firmware update for your suggestions in a timely manner like EcoFlow does. EF has a very strong reputation for no hassle warranty repairs and actively listen to feedback and implement changes accordingly I prefer the peace of mind knowing if something goes wrong EF got my back vs other companies that will ghost you if you have a problem....cough cough Bluetti. Haven't heard anything good or bad about Anker warranty support. Let's see if Anker listens and does the suggested firmware updates.

[@MattLesak]

Appreciate the focused review vs others I’ve watched. Firmware (software) matters and hopefully Anker is listening. You see the impact across various industries that stack hardware and software. Companies that embrace the advantages of software excel while others fade.

[@WillProwse]

Good video! But the cycling thresholds and speed are not dependent on what type of semiconductor is in the charging circuit. It is more efficient, but the charging rate is largely determined by chemistry, cell design, temperature and current handling of charge circuit. And of course the supply. Not the type of semiconductor.

[@dboucher26]

When I first heard about the Anker 767 I thought to myself, I love Anker and I would really like to get it, then I did a comparison to the Eco Delta Pro (I already have 2 with extra batteries). The Delta Pro was far superior in capacity (3600Wh vs Anker’s 2048Wh), inverter (3600W with surge up to 7200W vs Anker’s measly 2400W), solar input (1600W vs Anker’s 1000W), and the solar panels automatically turn the unit on. There’s no way I’ll be able to replace my Delta Pros for the Anker, it would be a major downgrade. EcoFlow have a much cheaper and lighter Delta Max (I have 2 of them with 3 extra batteries) that competes with the Anker Powerhouse 767.

[@issameQ]

You judgement is a little biased. You have two delta pros already. I myself wouldn’t switch to a whole new brand if I already have something I Can build upon. Anker came up with the newer version of the 767, the F2600.

[@linarn4671]

I really appreciate you doing this video. ive been trying to decide between Bluette, eco flow, patriot, jackery and a couple other brands. I myself don't care about all the cell phone playing around apps ect,,. my concerns would be Ion phosphate lifepo4 long life, the anker's durability toughness, the portable features are nice, the quietness is not a big concern for me, recharge time is a great need and connectivity, and expansion is very important. i hear the display screen features could be improved. they could make a 90 degree plug that would be nice. I have a great idea for one of these companies I'm thinking about mentioning to them. May approach Anker maybe about it. If we have huge blackouts much cell service won't operate so I'm not too concerned with toying and playing with A phone app for amusement . the control features may be nice but put the money into reliability & durability and expandability.

If you are worried about warranty buy ecoflow delta pro from costco. Costco recognizes ecoflow products as generators. So it falls under costco lifetime warranty for generators.

Unfortunately, the Anker's a deal breaker since it doesn't offer auto-start solar charging :' ( Also, when choosing a portable power station, people need to make sure the items they want to plug into the PPS will "actually" run for a while.

Hi Tommy! Thank you for the review. Watching your review, I googled about the Delta Pro noise. On reddit people said it got better with firmware upgrades. Do you have some input on this? The idea is to have this inside a small van, specifically for sleep with the AC on. I’d buy the Anker, but thing is, Ecoflow just released this alternator charger product that quickly charges their Delta units, and also does the opposite, it takes energy from the Delta to keep the car battery charged. This would allow me to keep the car AC on while camping. But that noise…. Did it got better?

Nice review. While I too would choose the Anker over the EF for many of the same reasons as you… it may be helpful to know that the Anker is 20A rated at the “RV” plug whereas the EF is 30A rated. I use a generator to run the 120V of my house when we lose power (we’re in Hawaii). The number of available amps can make difference for your total loads.

[@TommyCallaway]

Totally valid point.. 120v @ 20 amps would max out the inverter. Confusing specs it seems, though it is marketed as 30A.

I have seen a lot of vendors doing this to my dismay. It’s unfortunate too because it’s kinda shifty to stamp the interface rating on a device that will never fulfill the rating. Do your homework kids…

Ecoflow Delta Pro is for daily use with high power appliances such as microwave, washing machine, clothes dryer, iron, etc. to have it in the kitchen (hence its immovable weight) while the Anker 767 is more for use in workshops, camping, small appliances. So maybe these 2 models shouldn´t have been compared because the target market of each one is completely different.

[@Pk3_Garage]

This is really not a fare comparison. The DP is a much larger in size, capacity and weight, compared to the Anker. Also, the DP is marked for total home back-up, the Anker is not. As to the cooling fans being loud, I guess that depends on the location of the unit. Our DP is in the basement, connected to two manual transfer switches. So, when the cooling fans turn on, we don't hear them unless in the area. The DP has a total of four cooling fans. Two fresh air intake fans and two exhaust fans. (Not sure of the names of the fans) Heat is what kills batteries.

[@poreric1]

Does the anchor have extra batteries?

[@walterreil4001]

Thank you very much. I do not yet own a home battery generator. A question I have had for quite some time is --- My need is for occasional (not very often) basic home emergency power (cell phones, fan, etc). What I have not found addressed is what is the long-term power management for such a battery generator, which may not be used for many months, so --- do you leave it connected to AC power 100% of the time for months on end, without "using" the battery, waiting for an emergency, or is there some form of periodic use that you must perform to help drain the battery, then recharge it to full power? In other words, just how is the battery to be maintained for months on end, over years, when the battery is not being used very much? Thank you.

[@TommyCallaway]

You’re supposed to do a full drain and charge once every 3 months. Otherwise you can just leave it plugged in.

[@jeanieirwin4747]

The lighter power station is definitely a plus for women having to move the unit. Can a second ok md battery foe back up charging be just a deep cycling marine 12 volt battery?

Tommy keep posting you’ll make it just analyze the videos with higher views. If you notice the videos with higher views have a more personalized title.

[@TommyCallaway]

Updated my title, it definitely helped. Thanks!

My Echo Flo Delta Pro came with a 5 year warranty.

[@MassiveMastador]

This is an excellent review and just saved me hours of research. Anker clear winner!! Thank you Tommy for the indepth unbiased reviews!!

[@TommyCallaway]

Thank you for your comments. They help creators like me keep going. 💪

[@no_till3353]

Warranty doesn’t mean you’re covered. What’s included in the warranty is the most important. Just saying I’ve learned that the hard way with a grow light that had a 5 year warranty and after a year something happen and I would have had spent what I payed for it to be replaced or fixed. So read what it covers.

[@weatherchaser1166]

Had a shot earlier in the week for 400 off on the Anker to 1600, but i was too late when I went back to get it

[@uyngane]

Solid review, and I appreciate concise assessment of the Anker product. Size, design, features and especially the solar panels were impressive. I was actually thinking it was indeed a better choice than the Delta Pro. I only wonder if the Anker's output ratings are sufficient. The difference is considerable. Maybe the difference between near full power supply with the Ecoflow as opposed to basic emergency requirements with the Anker. Got me thinking.

[@xx-xo6lc]

Except life of the battery

[@uyngane]

@x x Are you saying Ecoflow battery life makes it the better choice (along with their higher output) and the cost is justified? Just want to make sure I understand correctly. Thanks

[@angeljia3506]

All great points! I am looking at the spec for the 767, and I don’t see a DC 12v @ 30amp port. The spec shows 2x 12v @10amp port. Am I missing something? Or is the spec on their website wrong?

[@TommyCallaway]

It has a 30 amp plug but I wouldn’t push it past 20 amps. (2.4kw)

[@Leoninmiami]

Thanks for the great unbiased review!

[@christophergrove4876]

Can you fast charge the Anker PowerHouse 767 from a Level 2 EV charging station through some sort of 3rd party J1772 adapter?

[@mcflurrybutts4927]

The bag for the ecoflow 400 watt solar panel acts as a stand, that's what the clips are used for.

[@TommyCallaway]

Yeah but it sucks

[@ko2890]

Can you charge either of these with any kind of solar panels? Can you charge them with a regular gas generator?

[@mystic7splace]

I hope this is a simple question. The easiest way for me to connect the things I want to connect to the Anker 767 is by using a power strip with five connections, going into one of the AC outlets. For example, a modem, a router, a tv, and even, but not necessarily, a lamp. Can I do that without damaging the 767, or any of the items I connect to the power strip, and will it work? I don't want to try it until I get some kind of confirmation that it won't damage anything. Thanks in advance for any info you might provide.

[@calebnielson3929]

have you had any trouble with the AC inverter turning off randomly? i have 2 of these units and when either one is connected to my transfer switch via the tt-30r outlet and running circuits in my home the inverter will just randomly shut off. It only happens when powering the transfer switch via the tt-30r port or when i turn the AC inverter on with nothing connected to the device. Anker customer service said the 767 or F2000 as it is now called isn't designed to be hooked to a transfer switch. I can't understand why it wouldn't be able too.

[@ronaldgarrison8478]

Lonnie said Tesla was going to be the leader in apocalypse technology. IDK because there's a lot of great apocalypse tech around now. Almost makes you eager to see how it goes when TSHTF.

[@solarcharging9743]

Both of these solar generators use low cost, high frequency, low surge inverters that run much hotter and have no output transformer. High frequency inverters are fine for running light, non inductive, loads like a laptop, charging your phone or powering incandescent lights etc, but powering the inductive loads that you will probably want to run during a prolonged power outage like refrigerators, microwaves, power tools or motors will damage these high frequency solar generators and WILL seriously shorten their life expectancy. They simply were not designed for repeatedly powering inductive loads. That's why the big name brand inverter manufacturers like Schneider Electric, Outback Power, Magnum Energy and others, all use a low frequency topology in their designs. Another consideration is that the vast majority of these solar generators are non-repairable. At a typical shop rate of $125 per hour, with no schematic and limited parts availability, it makes no economic sense to even attempt to repair one of these units. Once the FETs have fried on one of these units, (And trust me, sooner rather than later, they will fry.) they basically become a brick. A much better choice is to spend a little more money and buy or build a solar generator that uses a low frequency, transformer based inverter instead. It will last far, far longer and you will be able to power high inductive loads that you're going to need to power, during a power outage.

[@simon359]

Sorry, but neither of these would be my choice, as I did my own DIY. I suggest everybody do it that way! Why, because it’s never been easier than it is today! And you can buy an inverter/charger that hooks up solar panels and converts to AC and charges your batteries. You can buy server rack batteries at a much lower cost than before. I can say this because I knew nothing about electricity and I had a much harder system to build than you do today! And lastly, it’s much more cost-effective. And you can do it without a lot of permits and regulations, by installing a 50 amp connection. These are done all the time for gas generators.

[@TommyCallaway]

Would love a video walk thru of your setup.

[@simon359]

@@TommyCallaway If you’re ever around Seattle, hit me up, I’ll give you a tour ! 🖖

[@ggolds5]

Great video. I wonder how you would compare the Pecron 3000 against these. Would that be a better value?.

[@Electronzap]

Good review of both systems.

[@bjmurf1]

A key consideration not mentioned is the noise level to operate these devices. How does that compare?

[@imolazhp11]

We’ve seen EV owners hook up inverters to their 12v’s and power small loads like the Anker 767 will do. My question is since the 767 has the inverter built in, could one theoretically use the solar DC input for the 767 as a way to recharge from an EV’s 12v? In other words, power goes out, use the 767 initially and if the outage persists, then hook it up to your EV to extend run time during the outage. Thoughts?

[@doorgoo]

Yes and no. First issue is at 12v you could never pull a meaningful amount of energy. Generally the 12v system on ANY car can only supply 150-200w through a barrel, and even if you could hook into the 12v battery directly, it probably would still be limited by the transfer rate from the high voltage battery to the low voltage without damaging anything. Second is you could tie into the high voltage pack (dangerous) unless you have a special charger that can work in reverse like the ford lightning. This would be most ideal in general. Lastly, these units have a limit as to how much they can take in on solar. So you maybe still exceed how quickly the battery can charge.

[@shelley131]

You realize that you will receive negative feedback because making this type of comparison is not truly an apples to apples . The EcoFlow Pro is in a league of its own to that of the Anker. A better comparison would have been with the EcoFlow max. This is like comparing a KIA with a Lexus, just not the same and you may end up liking the KIA best because it is cheaper and more economical. Of course everything is based on ones needs as it should.

[@TommyCallaway]

Feedback is welcome. Specifically, the title of this video is why I like the Anker powerhouse better, not that is an equal comparison.

[@pureradio5655]

Honestly you needed to compare the Anker to the Delta Max with those numbers

[@robertdaone]

Isn't the solar connection on the Anker proprietary? I heard its very hard to find panels that work properly and the ones by Anker are way over priced!

[@mahfl22]

Firmware update just came out for the 767.

[@AceKnowstoo]

More permanent battery setup for far less money and have capability to charge it with more solar power if it was a permanent fixture.........could you make a video on this or point me in the right direction?

[@jalexand007]

First time watching your videos so not sure if you have one but would love to see how it would do charging a Tesla. My friend wants to use one to charge his Tesla since he lives in a apartment complex. Would be easier for some extra charge so he does have to use a super charger as much.

[@sarahgrooms5606]

This is a Chinese company would I have problems with the shipping? I really like the 767 generator and will probably buy one just worried about shipping. They probably have a warehouse in the US.

[@dabaydestrian437]

Would you take the jackery 3000pro over these 2 ?

[@trademarktaz]

Great video, this is really cool stuff

[@hi9016t]

Delta max would be a better comparison as those would be direct competitors in terms of specs and price
