The EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 is a massive 4-kilowatt-hour power station that fits into the home well and, with a little elbow grease, can also hit the road.
This brute of a power station will power almost anything — even A/C MSRP $3,699.00 Score Details “The EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 packs beefy power in a shockingly stylish package.” Pros Cons Let me start off by saying the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 is the biggest power station I’ve reviewed to date. At 115 pounds, it barely qualifies as portable.
EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 build quality The EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 is the first power station that’s made me go “wow” when taking it out of the box. Battery packs don’t tend to have the most exciting designs, but this one looks like a dang Cadillac. Superficial? Sure, but the Delta Pro 3 is big enough that you might not be able to just squirrel it away in a closet. If you’re going to have tech taking up space in the open, it might as well look good.
The rear panel has an array of inputs available, including for EVs. The nice design touch here is that the plug covers can slide into the body of the battery once they’ve been flipped open. This way they aren’t flopping in the breeze, or worse, blocking any cables running around back there. Similarly, on the sides, near the front, two doors open to reveal additional outputs.
The biggest feature that sets the Delta Pro 3 up for home backup is 240-volt output. While most things in your home operate at 120V, bigger appliances need more juice, which is out of reach of smaller power stations. These 240V appliances can include heat pumps, air conditioning units, water heaters, and other heavy-duty home necessities.
I was able to test out the Delta Pro 3 with EcoFlow’s portable 400-watt monocrystalline solar panels. It being obnoxiously hot on the East Coast meant I could also put the operating temperature limits to the test too. The 400W panels were proportional to the Delta Pro 3, which is to say, massive. Even during overcast periods, the panels were producing enough power to offset the drain from a full range of charging personal devices.
Should you buy the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3? At first, most folks will balk at the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3’s $3,699 suggested retail price. But for those that have shopped around for a whole-home energy backup and actually have a budget for it, that number is likely to land in an acceptable range. For example, the 4-kWh power station from Goal Zero is going for $3,399. Bluetti’s 5 kWh station is $3,499. Anker has a 3.8 kWh system for $3,999.
