Our Review

The EcoFlow Delta Pro represents a significant leap forward in portable power station technology, blurring the line between portable generators and home backup systems. With its massive 3,600Wh capacity and the ability to expand up to an incredible 25kWh with additional batteries and accessories, the Delta Pro is designed to be a comprehensive energy solution rather than just another portable battery.

What immediately sets the Delta Pro apart is its charging speed. Using EcoFlow's X-Stream technology, the unit can charge from 0% to 80% in just one hour when connected to a standard wall outlet. This is approximately 5-10 times faster than comparable units on the market. When you add solar input (up to 1,600W) or combine charging methods, you can achieve even faster recharge times. This rapid charging capability fundamentally changes how you can use a power station, eliminating one of the biggest pain points of traditional solar generators.

The Delta Pro's output capabilities are equally impressive. With 3,600W of continuous AC power and a surge capacity of 7,200W, it can handle almost any household appliance, including energy-hungry devices like air conditioners, water heaters, and power tools. During our testing, the Delta Pro powered a full-sized refrigerator, multiple lights, laptops, and even a portable air conditioner simultaneously without breaking a sweat.

EcoFlow has clearly designed the Delta Pro with home integration in mind. The optional Smart Home Panel allows you to connect the Delta Pro directly to your home's electrical system, enabling automatic switchover during power outages. The system can even power 240V appliances like dryers and well pumps when properly configured. This level of integration is rare in the portable power station market and positions the Delta Pro as a legitimate alternative to traditional whole-home generators.

The build quality of the Delta Pro is exceptional, with a rugged exterior that feels built to last. The unit features built-in wheels and a telescoping handle similar to rolling luggage, which helps mitigate its considerable 99-pound weight. While it's technically portable, you won't be carrying this unit far by hand - it's designed to be rolled from place to place rather than carried.

The Delta Pro's battery chemistry is worth highlighting as well. EcoFlow uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP/LiFePO4) batteries, which offer significantly longer lifespan (rated for 6,500+ cycles) and better thermal stability than traditional lithium-ion batteries. This means the Delta Pro should continue performing well for many years, even with daily use - a critical factor when considering the substantial initial investment.

Conclusion

The EcoFlow Delta Pro is not just another portable power station - it's a comprehensive energy solution that can serve as the centerpiece of a home backup system or provide reliable power for off-grid living. Its combination of massive capacity, blazing-fast charging, home integration capabilities, and long-lasting LFP battery chemistry puts it in a class of its own. While the high price point and substantial weight make it overkill for casual users, those with serious power needs or those living in areas prone to outages will find the Delta Pro to be one of the most capable and versatile power solutions available. It represents the future of portable power - where the line between emergency backup and everyday energy management becomes increasingly blurred.

Alternatives to Consider

  • Bluetti AC200MAX

    Lower initial cost with similar expandability, though less powerful output and slower charging.

  • Jackery Explorer 2000 Pro

    More portable with similar capacity, but lacks home integration features and expandability.

  • DIY Solar Generator

    Fully customizable and potentially more cost-effective, but requires technical knowledge and lacks the polished integration.
