Transcripts
ecoflow recently gave the Delta Pro the old HW and like the girl that made that line famous the
Delta Pro 3 has been taken the Internet by storm lately we're lucky enough to have had our hands on
this thing for a little while now we've put some miles on it or at least enough miles to give you
guys some honest feedback about it because you guys know here at the lab our opinions cannot
be bought and sending us a portable power station is not going to sway us to leave a positive review
we have enough power stations we don't need this thing tiny baby doesn't want to left it [Music]
Eco flow actually made a really subtle statement with the Delta Pro 3 this is the first portable
power station that they want you to feel like it's an appliance for example sounds like a dryer
sounds like a washing machine it feels comfortable and familiar but if you just want an appliance
that dings and Bings you can get one for a lot cheaper and the real question is is the Delta
Pro 3 worth upgrading to or buying if you're not already in the market and on top of not wanting
to lie to you guys we also want to save you guys some money so if at any point you are interested
in checking out the Delta Pro 3 we have some links in the description down below paired with
some pretty decent coupon codes and though there is actually quite a bit that we do like about the
Delta Pro 3 but before we jump into the results of our testing as well as some of the things that we
just really don't like about this unit we're going to hit you guys with a super quick two-minute tear
down to get everybody familiar with the brand new ecoflow Delta Pro 3 first up this thing passes the
tiny baby lift test it weighs 113 lb definitely got a little fatter than the Delta Pro used to be
but it is also a slightly bigger unit and it has a slightly bigger battery so this unit has a 4,
96w hour battery bank it's got a 4,000 W pure sine wave inverter which does split phase so it's
a 120 or a 240 volt inverter with an 8,000 W surge capacity in terms of charging this unit has a very
standard 1,800 watt AC input it makes a really weird cricket sound when you're charging it in the
wall in terms of ports on this guy eego flow went ahead and for no reason spun all these ports uh on
their side you have four 120 volt outlets on the front you have this the first time we saw this
was on a Zender and we thought Zender was just out for lunch putting that on a power station
that they were putting out in the US market I don't really know who uses that style plug but
we have it we also have a traditional l14 generator plug on the front and behind the
little trap door on this side we have a true dedicated 30 amp plug and on the other side we
have another little flap door which has all of your 12vt options this has a 12vt 5 amp Barrel
connector it has your Anderson ports at the bottom as well as a remote plug for a screen
no 12vt car socket on this unit though coming around to the back you have your AC input and
you have two solar inputs one is a a high voltage input and one is a low voltage input there's two
expansion battery ports and there is also an AC in or outport which lets you use the 240 volt plugs
of the Delta Pro Ultra kind of brought to market in terms of the screen on this guy this is a newer
design it's still clean it shows you everything you need to know and when it comes to the app
ecoflow has a great app that already exists it's St all of its design cues from Apple and Tesla and
it works great and they just added this to the roster of units that's compatible with that app
and right now the delta Pro 3 hit the market at $3,700 basically which is actually not bad that's
what the Delta Pro hit the market at before we tell you all of the quirks and things that we
just don't like about the TTA Pro 3 we're going to start with the results of some of our testing
starting off with efficiency this is a 4,000 WT inverter we ran a 3,650 is wat load on it
so it was pretty close to the top end and seeing that it's a 4,096 Wat battery that load should
have lasted about 67 minutes it actually lasted 60 minutes which is pretty good considering we
ran this thing pretty close to the 4,000 WT limit fans were working hard you could hear it running
so it's about 89% efficient which at that high end is not bad in terms of charging you can obviously
charge this thing multiple ways we went ahead and just did the one most people are probably going to
use 120 volt AC port in the back accepts 1,800 W of charging should have charged in about 2 hours
and 20 minutes minutes it actually charged in about 2 hours and 54 minutes not terrible but it
did say on the screen 2 minutes remaining for like 15 minutes towards the end so when you see that
go finish doing what you were doing don't be me sitting on the floor waiting for it to be done in
terms of surge capacity for this unit it's a 4,000 W inverter with a surge of 8,000 WT the 8,000 WS
it prefers it to be a blip just really quick it'll do like we had it running 5100 Watts so just pass
and it was cruising like it had no problems with that it did it for almost a minute uh which was
really impressive like we were both like wow this is really good but as soon as you step
that up to even 6,000 Watts it just shuts right off this will probably be closer to like a 6,000
surge yeah see it doesn't even doesn't even bite on that when it comes to the
sound test though this thing's actually pretty quiet under about 2,000 Watts it
advertises some deel rating it's pretty quiet over 2,000 Watts you can hear it
it sounds way better than the Delta Pro used to sound but it's nowhere near the Delta Pro
Ultra the Delta Pro Ultra is like dead quiet it's medium it's not bad the solar input on
this guy works it's very annoying we'll get to that later amperages and volts line up there
we didn't really have any problems getting the rated solar into this other than having to have
it run in two different directions and one of my favorite tests is the pass through test if
you have something running off of this unit and you plug it into the wall can it power what you
had running and then put the rest of the power into the batteries you'd be surprised at the
amount of units that cannot do that so this actually passed the test for both solar and
AC you can have it plugged into a a panel array and still run your load the extra is charging
your batteries and you can have it plugged into a regular wall outlet and still run your load
and the extra is charging your batteries when it comes to 240 volt test though which I was pretty
excited to do uh you you cannot run 240 and 120 at the same time I'll literally show you
right now you turn on the 240 side if you go press 120 it shuts off the 240 side not that
that's a huge deal but like the f3800 is able to do 240 and 120 at the same time but when it comes
to 240 this thing obviously if you have the right adapter it is good for running your dryer you can
run your oven or your stove with a 4,000 WT it's kind of hard usually an oven is just over 2,000
and a stove is just over 2,000 if it's a bigger burner so this is not a Delta Pro Ultra or an
f3800 it's not meant to run the bulk of your loads not going to love your air conditioner
could probably run your heater depending on how big it is we took it to some extremes to figure
out what can the 240 volt on this do obviously in a house most things don't surge when you turn on
your oven it doesn't spike it just turns on uh but when we run stuff that surges off this it
really really doesn't like it we tried to lift a car on my car lift it's only a 2,200 WT lift
so it should be well within the range of this unit I'm hopeful that's all I'm going to say I'm
[Music] hopeful I think we know how this is going to go if the Hoist didn't work the compressor is
almost a guaranteed no it's a 3,000 WT compressor the surges compressor surges are insane but for
the sake of testing a that sounded so close just can't handle that initial surge it's just too long
for it it's not that it's too high of a surge rating it's just too long that it needs it to
Surge for so can't do that and when it comes to things that we like about the Delta Pro 3 the
first one for me is that it's kind of the most instinctually built unit that I've ever played
with and what I mean by that is like the power button up here is not labeled power and when I
pulled this thing out of the package I just instinctively pressed this button right here
and it turned on they know what people want they know how people think and they've been able to
lay it out a way that just makes sense and I really like that I also really like speaking
of the design of this thing the sliding doors on the sides this is a lot more again instinctive and
just kind of thought out than the old ones that you had to pop out and you had to smack them with
your hand to get them to clip back in cuz they never wanted to go back to where they came from
this one is like literally like a van door another huge upgrade is that the expansion battery is no
longer a duplicate unit it's no longer on Wheels it's now a stackable little quarter size p piglet
that goes on top makes a lot more sense it saves a lot more space and it just looks way better
probably one of the biggest and most important to me if I was putting myself in the shoes of
like you guys like a consumer thing with this unit is it actually works with other old Legacy
ecoflow product there's a lot of people freaking out because the Delta Pro had the original smart
home panel that it worked with Delta Pro Ultra got the smart home panel 2 and now this works
with the smart home panel 2 not the smart home panel one so it kind of you in that way if you
already bought the smart home panel one but this unit is compatible with Delta Pro Smart batteries
recognizes them on the screen and it doesn't advertise it but it also works with Delta Max
expansion batteries which are probably the same as Delta 2 expansion batteries if you have the little
adapter piece that goes It's meant for the Delta Pro I put a Delta Max expansion battery on this
and when I plugged it in the screen registered the extra battery percentage and it worked
just fine it's kind of cool that if you have existing products already you can use them with
this new Delta Pro they didn't completely change everything again like they did when they released
the Delta Pro Ultra and speaking of the Delta Pro Ultra it also works like I said earlier with these
uh AC inout port things these big connectors that go on the back of the unit that the Delta
Pro Ultra kind of launched into the market so this one you can plug it directly into a generator and
charge it with 240 it also works with the 50 amp Hub uh which is kind of cool so you can pair two
of these units into this Hub and then you can run like like a 50 amp plug right out of the middle
it'll give you 8,000 Watts basically out of your 50 amp plug and the last thing that we really like
about this unit goes right back to the ecoflow app like I said already it's pretty standard it looks
like every other ecoflow app interface they're all the same you can go on here you can turn on your
AC 240 plugs you can turn on your AC 120 plugs you can turn on your 12vt plugs you can do all
the normal stuff on here but what's really nice is you can also go in here you can go to schedule
tasks and you can basically set this unit up to Peak shave without needing it plugged into a smart
home panel so what I mean by that is you could set a time on the app for when to turn the AC outlets
on and off and when to accept solar or when to accept AC power during what time you can have it
set to charge only during the night so it fills at when your electricity is at like its cheapest
point then you can have it disperse only during the hours that your electricity is at the highest
point it helps you shave a little bit of money off your electricity bill every month which is really
cool and you could do it directly from the app you don't need a smart home panel or anything when we
start talking about things that I don't like about the Delta Pro 3 there's a few that are tied for
like the most annoying and I'm going to start with there is no 12V car socket on this unit Why why is
it like this that may not seem like a big deal to you I just got back from a camping trip with the
Delta Pro I had my fridge plugged into the 12vt socket on the side because it's a DC socket so
it doesn't have to use as much power converting it to AC if I were to run my fridge off the front and
there's many appliances for camping trailers all that kind of stuff that run 12 VTS what's annoying
is you're going to have to start running them on AC which is going to just end up taking more power
because you're also running that power through the inverter so that's annoying they gave us a barrel
connector it's not 1836 dude no like who uses a 5 aamp Barrel connector for what and the second
thing that is just like a why another why did you do this is the solar input has a 2600 W Max
two plugs one is low voltage one is high voltage the Delta Pro Ultra has a 5,000 something watt
high voltage input and then a much lower wattage low voltage input but this one they just call one
high and one low so now to get to your 2600 Watts it just honestly got harder because you have to
have your two different arrays wired completely differently because one has a way higher voltage
and amperage Max the other one has a lot lower so you kind of got to run smaller strands to get them
in there to get to your max I don't know why they did that I also don't like that this unit doesn't
do 240 and 120 at the same time it's not a big deal but for example if I have this run off a
to a transfer switch in my house and it's powering everything via the 240 plug I can't walk up to the
unit and physically plug something in we have the technology out it's been out since early this year
at least to do both at the same time let's do it this one should come at no surprise that I don't
like that there is no light anywhere on this power station I've recently actually had a power outage
and what I had at home was a Delta Pro I had to carry this thing up a set of stairs in the pitch
black because I couldn't hold my phone and carry the unit you end up in the wrong situation you're
going to be trying to Fumble around in the pitch black setting this thing up which I just really
really wish we could get a light on some of these ecoflow products it's killing me to wrap this all
up the Delta Pro 3 is kind of like the release of a brand new iPhone if you already have an iPhone
and it works just fine there's no point in getting the new one they're all the same if you don't have
one though and you're looking to buy one buy the newest one it always has all the best features
it'll last you a lot longer that's exactly how I feel about this if you have a Delta Pro I wouldn't
upgrade if you're just jumping into the market though right now would be a good time to get the
Delta Pro because it's really cheap but I would honestly recommend that you just get this one
it can do way more out of a single unit the other one you're going to need two units to
run 240 and do some of the things this one you can do everything out of one unit has your l14 plug
right on the front and it's just new it's bigger it's better let us know some uh bigger tests or
anything that you might want to see us run this brand new unit through we would like to play with
it and just push it in some ways that maybe you guys want to know otherwise that is all we got for
you guys thank you so much for watching I will catch you next time peace out and stay charged
