This is on sale, will end any moment $640 Prime Deal
7/12/22 amzn.to/3RqB17Y
What is the wattage of your refrigerator? (volts x amps)
See the model number at the end of the video
Ordered it! Thx!
Wow nice! Yeah the price is $799 now
Enjoy
Awesome video, jumped on the prime deal, looking forward to using this for a variety of things, including a battery backup for my sump pump when on vacations. I love the balance of power, weight, and price of the delta mini.
FANTASTIC! i ha e been researching for days and getting more confused by the day. Your video helped tremendously! For example, it led me to some good panels at more affordable prices and, it helped me to SEE how the mini works powering the fridge while it is being charged by solar power. I can't thank you enough! Give Brooklyn a belly rub for me.
Thank you so much
I did like the test and this has real world applications. In the event of any power outage I know for a fact that my Delta Mini can run my refrigerator and all my other gadgets.
I really enjoyed this test! Considering this is a smaller power station, and you had a cloudy days, it's amazing it lasted so long. Subscribed!
Thanks
Thank you so much ! I just watched your video, not inly did I go to Amazon and get the $640.
Price tag I also got the 110 watt solar panel for free ! AND received 6% back using my Amazon card. You are the best !
I love your dog and your videos ❤ Keep up the great work !
That's a great price thank you so much for watching I'm glad it helped
I really appreciate how you explain usage on the equipment. I’m not an electrician so figuring out what I can plug into which power station has been confusing so i stick to only using the 160w panels for individual stations. I have the Delta 1300 which I bought to run my fridge and small items in my kitchen. I also just bought the parallel connector to run two 160w panels into the delta to run my fridge perpetually on the delta. I’m running a few small things exclusively now on my River Units. It’s helping me to understand how they work as well as grasp what they are capable of. I have found that running off solar all day and utilizing the pass through power capacity really runs things for very long periods. Unless we get a rainy or cloudy spell, of course. I always appreciate your careful explanations. Give Brooklyn a pat for me!
Thank you so are you thr famous Ms pattymac I heard and sang about years ago? 😎
@@TechMadeEzy HA HA!! Well I definitely love doggies and think your sweet Brooklyn is a doll. I really appreciate the way you explain the equipment and how to use it. I'm very new to using it and now it is becoming a hobby.
Glad to have you thanks!
I have the Delta Mini which I bought on 5 July 2022 & used HoboTechs discount coupon & paid $711.29. It will power my frig/freezer in the apt for 10 hours if fully charged. It uses up 10% of battery capacity every hour. My older frig/freezer draws between 185-145 watts when the compressor is running.
As an aside, when I'm "Slow" charging my Delta Mini @200W it recharges 10% of the Delta Mini's battery capacity every 30 minutes, ie about 5 hours from dead to full charge.
My Delta Mini will run my 1.3 cu ft (45 qt) Engel Freezer for 30 hours from full to dead.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
This was a great video! Thanks for doing all this work.
Thank you Scott
Love your videos. I have a Delta 2Max, extra Max battery, Delta 2, 2 260Ah LiFePO4 batteries set up as additional night time reserves if needed and a rigged 1200W panel system.
I use this as RV power and home supplementation when not RVing.
One easy improvement would be to use the table to angle the panels toward the sun. Laying the table on its side would make it more stable so it doesn't flip over. Then just angle the panel on the side of the table to the ground. Makes quite a difference as you showed with the portable panels. Probably wouldn't have saved the day since you had a couple low sun days but would have given more charge on the sunny days for sure.
Solar is addicting :)
Thank you and yes I agree would get more solar for sure and last longer
7/5/22 GREAT NEWS The Delta Mini is on sale! See our links in the description and the packages. ANY QUESTIONS? Let me know
Excellent info! Thank you.
Thank you
I would like to inform readers from my testing. I have a EC Delta Mini, fully charged. I only plugged in my refrigerator. This is a 2021 Frigidaire Gallery side by side with water and ice dispenser refrigerator, Rated at 380W and 450W defrost. From 100% to 0% the Delta Mini kept it running for a solid 5.5Hrs, possibly up to 6Hrs if you catch it in time from a power loss and hastily plug it back on for no cooling loss. I do have an EC160w Solar Panel that I will test with in a couple days. I hope I can double my off grid time with some help of solar.
Great test. You could've maximized battery life even further unplugging every 4 hours or so the fridge stays cold and doesn't need to be plugged in continually. It is great to know continual use though. I'm concerned about the many complaints with customer service and 1.6 trust pilot rating.
One tip, the voc should stay 15% under the mppts max input, the voc is meassured at around 25 celsius(Stc) , if it gets cold, the voltage can be a bit higher
Got yourself a subscriber. I’ll be holding out for you to do one for a window AC or mini split.
timers would help to,on both fridge and freezer on ours from 10.pm to 7.00am and keep the solar pluged in
Thank you for this very informative and educational video on the mini. I now know more than I did from previous research. I'll probably order this on prime day.
Thanks sherry
Thank you! Thank you! I’m new to the solar generator tech your videos are outstanding!
Anthony thank you so much that means a lot to me I'm glad to see this video was helpful
This appears to match up almost exactly like my Westinghouse iGen1000s so your test is probably accurate for me as well. Great test run! !:- )
Thank you Doug, actually the iGen 1000 should have a larger battery, that's 1008Wh nice, the delta mini is 882wh
Thank you alot for the refrigerator test & this detailed video.. You kept it simple whereas others get way to technical.. God Bless!!
Thank you
Very well presented video. Appreciate the time and thoughts put into producing this informative video.
Thank you very much I’m very glad 🙂 t helped
The Delta mini is on sale for 549 and the delta 2 and delta extra battery combo on sale for only 1k at home debot! Right now most solar generators are on sale for the 4th of July 2023. Thanks for this video as I'm a newbie.
very well explained and very helpful too.
Thank you, what power station do you have ?
Thanks for videos like this! Wow ….I’ve watched many similar utube channels, but must say
You take the time to explain in detail that’s very understandable! Excellent job ..I’m definitely
a subscriber and will recommend your channel…
Thank you Charles that’s our goal 👍🏼
We don’t always meet that goal but we learn and we keep trying , Have a great holiday weekend and thank you for staying with us
All I can say is that the Delta Mini is one monster of a power station having an AC output of 1400W.
What a EXCELLENT information video !!! I have the ecoflow pro unit plus the 160 watt panels! I love my unit but after watching yours and others I am going to buy this unit it is on sale now for 679.00 that a steal! Thank you for sharing amazing info !!👍
Thanks so much
Costco has this unit for $479.00 right now through the 23rd of April.
The only thing I don’t like is it’s not a Lifepo4 battery. It’s NCM lithium which doesn’t have near as
Long of lifespan.
Good deal
That’s insane
Thanks for another great in depth review 👌👌🙏 Love your ecoflow videos
Arie thank you 😊
Loved the video. You did a great job explaining everything. I’m on the market on getting either the Delta mini or the River Pro? Great job on showcasing this product.
Very informative. Thank you for taking the time.
Thank you
You give the best In*depth reviews thank you.
Thank you Ted we had a video like this not too long ago and we just thought it could be so much better and I’m glad that you enjoy it and find value in it
Glad to be an owner of the Delta Mini, nothing really comes close to its fast charging capability.
Amazing. This has really helped. Thank you
Thank you Neal
Thank you so much! You explained exactly what I needed to understand and couldn't 'get' with other 30ish videos I watched. During blackouts I only run the chest freezer instead of the fridge on old gas generator turning it on and off so I wonder how much difference that would make ? In spring I need to keep the sump going in winter I can put my frozen food outside...and have wood stove for heat. You are awesome !🥰
Thanks so much I'm glad it helped and I would say watch this one also when you have time, the unit I used in the demonstration was a mid size unit, but this will explain some larger options also. ua-cam.com/video/aMDMQ1qP7Yw/v-deo.htmlsi=HExywn0nsmLfJfXh
@@TechMadeEzy thanks I pulled some recent videos from your channel was going to go through them to look for freezer. I sent a message to ecoflow store on amazon as one of their units said the fueil type was: ' liquefied petroleum gas' how can that be? EF ECOFLOW DELTA 2 Portable Power Station 1024Wh, Fast Charging, LiFePO4 Battery, Solar Generator for Home Backup,
@AlannahRyane that's obviously not correct, Amazon has similar issues with many battery power station listing so don't worry about that.
@@TechMadeEzy whew...thanks
Thank you!! This was very informative!😁
I ordered a Prime Day deal yesterday for the River Pro + 110w Solar Panel for$499. I was planning on doing a refrigerator test, too, with it, but I might order the 160w solar panel instead.
My refrigerator was using 1.52kWh / day, which is too much, so I raised the temperatures a little higher so it can use less energy and hopefully that's enough for the River Pro.
(LG 28cu ft refrigerator bought this year, so very efficient).
I increased the temperature on my refrigerator and freezer. power usage went from 1.52kWh / day to 1.17. (from 35F to 37F and -2F to 2F). If I needed to actually run on battery, I'll increase the temperatures to 40F and 4F and that should reduce power even more.
Hey.. Did you do the refrigerator test using the River Pro? How many days were you able to last? Thanks..
@@Korruptor711 thats about 50w continuous so not that different from this video. The benefit of solar is if you can get solar to top up the battery in the morning and power the fridge through to eg 6pm, then the battery only needs to cover 6pm-8am maybe (14 hours) - which for you would be around 700Wh - which the Delta mini should just about handle (but too much for the river)
Excellent video, thank you so much! I am fixing now to also test my 10,000 BTU small air conditioning unit via the 220 watt solar panel that came with my Delta Max 2000....
Thank you
Thanks for this very helpful and thorough video. I'm better prepared to use my Delta Max when the need arises.
Nice test with the refrigerator, seems like the Delta Mini did not have any problems running it.
Not At all the Delta mini can run a lot of things but it always comes down to battery capacity if you watch the video the deltamax has a lot more battery capacity and the solar definitely helps out
Good, practical info. Will you have a video explaining the difference between parallel and series connection?
Thanks so much ee
Yes in time but definitely, I will also show them working as well and the benefits
What a great video. Thank you.
Any plans to do similar with other power stations or with different use cases/draw.. Find this kind of testing really interesting.
Thanks, no more planned at this time I was trying to include as much helpful information in this one as I could
@@TechMadeEzy That you did. Thanks again.
thank you very much, makes its easier for the rest of us
Thank you for watching
Awesome video! That refrigerator is really efficient!!
Yeah definitely thanks for watching
Your reviews is so good 👌👌 TY🙏
Thank you
Thanks! I just got that amazing deal on the Eco flow river and solar panel and just wanted to say thank you because I think I forgot to use the affiliate link
It's okay as long as you got the deal and you saved some money
@@TechMadeEzy I’ll be watching for a deal on a pro and if you post it I will absolutely use the link
I did post one, it was on sale for $700 off. Not sure if it's still on. Also check Costco not sure if they still have it on sale
@@TechMadeEzy Can you see a better deal coming on the max? Right now I have it in my cart for 1399+ $100 coupon.
If that's the delta max 2000 (2016wh) that's a great deal
For the compact size and weight, it's hard to believe that Ecoflow was able to put in 882Wh of capacity.
It’s one of my favorite
I really enjoy this useful detail review! Do you know how to attach cheap high capacity battery 2000-5000w as a solar input for the night? I saw people doing that!
Thanks Jake no I haven’t done that, I really enjoy the simplicity of the of these power stations as a simple solution though.
WOWWWW VERY GOOD INFO . THANK YOU
Thank you
this is very helpful thank you I would definitely have subscribed to see if I can see more update also I hope that you do answer some of my questions since I am trying to get funding to buy some for our apartment building I am concerned about some things about they say she need and where are the solar powers can be placed especially since we live in apartment building so I definitely can't wait to your other
Thanks
Your refrigerator draw in summer in NM would be vastly different than in MN presuming using the EF for emergency and your house HVAC was out. Must consider ambient temp when scaling for refrigeration!
Thanks Mike good recommendation
U have NO children or wife opening the fridge door many times thru the day. So good 4 u but not really realistic. It's u & the dog ,& he can't open the fridge.very well done review & not sponsored cheers 2 u mate👍🤜🤛
U Stop looking in my fridge
Excelente video... gracias
Thanks Daniel
By the way, on the Eco site they have chargers and batteries that are refurbished so people can save some money.
They are sold out of the motorized device with stand that allows your solar panels to follow the sun and move the panels up and down.
Nice follow up video :)
Would have been interesting to see how the Delta used in the first video performed. I think it would have charged to 100% much faster (because staring percentage morning would have been much higher) and probably lasted another 6-8 hours.
I noticed you didn't move the table and panels back on day two like you did on day one, that would of added a little more charge although unlikely significant.
Did you actually plug in the solar on last day? I thinking you still would have had some input, although once again unlikely very significant.
Rained on the last day
Thanks so much!
Thank you
OK Al. You've had time to test and try out both the Original Delta and the Delta Mini. I'm trying to decide which one. Maybe you could do a comparison between the original Delta and the Mini. Thanks
Get the delta 2 coming out in a few days, my review is launching on the 16th 8am
Great work, thank you! Question: Did you have the solar connected on the cloudy/rainy day?
Thank you, Normally no Joe
@TechMadeEzy FYI, on my solar system, I may lose some production, but it can be 50% of a sunny day.
Alan Alda has a fridge testing channel
Yup 😊
A 12 volt condenser fridge might draw less plus no loss powering the inverter to convert to AC
Great video! Would you consider doing a similar test with a window ac unit?
Thanks, something to think about for sure
@@TechMadeEzy Yes that is something I'd like to see too. Fans help, but when it's brutally hot and there's no power....
Great great great job
Thank you Gregory
@@TechMadeEzy do u think I can use two renogy panels for a ecoflow river max
Look up the solar specs on the River max
If you can stay under the open circuit voltage and connect in series possibility
@@TechMadeEzy ok thanks
@@TechMadeEzy it says 200w 10-25v
Can you also try this experiment using River Pro? Just wondering how river pro will perform considering its spec is close to delta mini
Hi d love to but the River pro can only handle maybe 1 100w solar panel it wouldn’t last long , if you bought the add on battery that would help but solar is very limited with the River pro
@@TechMadeEzy Thanks for the fast response. I rechecked the specs and river pro can support 200W max solar input but I see what you mean that it might not last long without the extra battery. I might also mention that I always watch your videos, they are very helpful! Looking forward for your review on the upcoming ecoflow power kits!
You are better off buying a 200w or 300w panel but check the EcoFlow website under specs just make sure you are within the voltage and amperage specs ok
Would a 12v 100Ah LiFePO4 battery be a good spare battery to extend the ECOFLOW battery.
Could be but EcoFlow doesn't have the proper cable to connect that, you might have to find an xt60 type cable
I watched your review of the Delta 1300 before this review. I think that connecting 2 100 watt panels in series and that pair in parallel with a 200 watt panel may have limited the voltage output of the setup to the output voltage of the 200 watt panel. But, only a voltmeter would have shown this or maybe a solar expert who understands connecting non-like items in parallel. In any case, I think that you were more successful with this setup than with the Delta 1300 setup. I suspect that the 1300 will handle 3 100 watt panels in series with no problem, even though the max input voltage is 65 volts. I will find out in a few days when I get my 1300 and connect it to 6 100 watt panels total.
Thanks Dan
Please also talk about amps when dealing with smaller units
Nice realistic use cases for testing. I think the thing with solar is to consider it intermittent. Have backup plans. Eg if the weather isn’t good and you have an extended power cut, you can try taking the battery to someone with power to charge in an hour or two on the AC; or charge using the in-car connector to top up. Can help cover those gaps in extreme cases.
Great job on your video's. Appreciate the way you take the time to explain everything clearly. With all the crazy in the world, I am seriously considering a Delta max or a ac200 from Bluetti, but leaning more towards the Ecoflow. ( question ) I have 2x 150 watt panels. Dose the Delta max need a minimum amount of solar Watts,, or could I just charge with 1x 100 watt panels if I chose ??
Thanks David
11-100v so 11 would be the minimum voltage and 13a would be the max. 800w max solar.
Find out what the voc is on your panels, I think connecting them in series would be the best thing to do.
So in a grid down the app on your phone is useless,show us how to run it without internet or a cellphone,also solar is supposedly still useful even in the rain! But thanks for the information 👍
Review is wildly appreciated sir! Question: chat rep told me we could charge Delta Mini via USB-C PD, you find this to be true? You mention 3x ways of charging, but didn’t hear mention of USBC. thanks sir!
Hi thanks Not in the delta mini
On the new River 2 series the smaller portable units has the type c that does this
This partial shading will not have such a drammatic effect if there are bypassing diodes in the panels.
Can you do a test with a timer on the AC Output so that the refrigerator is not running continuosly and see if you can get weeks of saving your food in the refrigerator?
Thanks for the note I’ll keep that in mind
What's the best advice when only using this in case of blackouts? Do I keep it fully charged? So far I've counted one blackout a year. Do I keep it discharged?
Keep it around 30% charged that's a very safe area it's actually the percentage that they use when they ship their products also. Then depending on how you're going to charge it up during your emergency you can use solar you can use an inverter type gas generator (has a pure sine wave ac outlet) I hope you understand most of this if not just let me know and I'll help you out
What kind of cable did you use in this video, what size?
The solar cable ?
This is the cable I was using a 40 foot cable amzn.to/3ssgx0I
You might do better with microinverters instead of direct solar
Does the unit click all night if you still have the solar panels connected with no input coming in?
It will, I recommend removing the solar cable, I’m not sure if that can cause damage you might want to contact EcoFlow to double check
you said that you would like to have some comments I hope you do read this my question is this one can the device handle a air conditioner if so what would you recommend and to solar panel be connected to a wall like a TV mount version only reason why is that my parking lot is very small and I live in apartment building like to know this question because I would hate for a car or person to walk on my solar panel so can it be mounted on the outside of my apartment building or can I stick it in a brightly-lit window where I get a lot of sun coming in please let me know in your comments statement I would appreciate it I'm trying to raise money to help people here in this felling infrastructure PS my landlord is definitely not going to go for the panels on the roof we have to do this on our own accord
How many hours do you need the air conditioner to run, what’s the btu? 5000btu ?
Yes solar can be mounted on a wall outside for sun. Tv stand? Not sure about that
If I run a 30 to 50ft cable what size do I need ? 10AWG or 12 AWG ? Thanks
I prefer 10 in most cases what do you have the Delta Mini
hoping for AC test with solar :) …
What are the specs of this refrigerator? How many amps is it rated for? What is the projected annual kWhs of this fridge.
Time stamp 49:26
Can you plug two 10 Gauge 10 AWG One Pair 50 Feet together with another 10awg one pair of 50 feet together to equall 100 feet? or do i need to buy one long 100 feet wire?
Definitely not a yes or no answer. Depending on your load the further you go normally the thicker cable you’re gonna want to use AWG , Definitely do some research
I need that refrigerator. Mine uses about 250 watts. My bluetti EP 500 would run it forever. Of course, mine is a bit bigger, but not for that much, and not using the ice maker. What brand is it?
Samsung the model is at the end of the video
@@TechMadeEzy Thanks
You got it Nora
Hi
Same test with the Delta 2 and extra battery + 500w solar, can you do it?
Good idea we will see thank you
Does the Mini perform an auto-shutoff of the output if the output drops below 115v or 120v to prevent the frig from experiencing a low voltage condition?
You can set the unit to not turn off and the ac outlets as well
@@TechMadeEzy Sorry, I don't understand. How does setting the unit to not turn off address the issue of the output to the refrigerator dropping below the 115v or 120v AC address the low-voltage issue?
Sorry misread your question I’d email Ecoflow support@ecoflow.com
at 35 minutes in video you had 95 % at 3 pm then at 6pm you had 94% you had more coming in than going out can you explain that to me
Good solar power input helps that and the refrigerator wasn't using much as you can see.
Do you find the mini loses 1 - 2 % over a few days even if not being used ? i have it setup to connect to wifi but appear to be losing say 1% every 24 hours or so
Hi
Why do you have it on? What’s connected ?
I'm only 10 minutes in but does the refrigerator have a freezer/froster?
Hi Yes
@@TechMadeEzy Thanks for the speedy reply, much appreciated.
Buy a rack battery and a BMS/inverter box
Great content. Super informative, thank you.

I never heard that term interesting and no she doesn't smoke that stuff but she can definitely eat lol
@@TechMadeEzy can't we all.
Hello absolutely great video! I ordered a delta max from which can support up to 100 volts @13 amps. I should be able to use four 200w panels for a total of 48 volts and because it's 800w total theoretical max which is 6.67 amps. Am I correct? Thank you for this video!!
800w max solar yes all info is good, hope you used our links to support our channel 🙏🏼 thanks for the feedback
@@TechMadeEzy Will do! Last question - On your link it states open circuit voltage is 27 volts, so four of those would actually exceed the 100 volt limit for the delta max at 108 volts. Do you think that'll be a problem?
Use this one, it's less V and price is good, has a good rating also amzn.to/3AnrSXC

@@TechMadeEzy Thanks I found the 200w variant through your link. I was trying to figure out if you have to add Open Circuit Voltage or just regular Voltage MMP. I think to be on the safe side because OCV is higher to go with that. Looks like open circuit voltage with four 200w panels totals 80.92 which is less than the Delta Max's maximum of 100 volt. Because they are in series the amps remains the same at 12.45A which looks to be just shy of the Delta Max's 13 amp max. So it looks like four of those Newpowa 9BB Cell 200W panels in series are perfect for the Ecoflow Delta Max. I will definitely use your links when I purchase. I thank you VERY much for your time.
Does the Mini communicate to the cell phone by BlueTooth or Wifi?
WiFi for sure, not sure about Bluetooth a this moment
You need to learn more solar.
You saw about 250 watts out into the battery. Panels flat be conservative giving 3 hours of peak sun. That’s 750 watt hours on a good day. Your fridge conservatively uses 55 watts about 12 hours a day, 50% duty cycle is 660 watt hours. But there are bms and inverter losses of at least 15%. That means about 635 watt hour# of charge . You must be doing slightly better but calculated conservative. To run that off grid you’ll need 500 watts of panels.
Have a new Samsung refrigerator with a video screen. says Rated Voltage is 115V/ 60 HZ, Rated Current 4A and Defrosting Input 230 W. What power station would you recommend?
Are you mainly buying it for your refrigerator or you buying it for power outages and other devices?
@@TechMadeEzy Mainly for the refrigerator. Was out of power for 5 days due to Hurricane Ian
I'd recommend a EcoFlow Delta Max, I like that model because it's portable and yet it's expandable if you want to extend your run time I'd also recommend that you get solar panels you can lay out in your yard during the day to recharge the units as much as possible
what are the specs on the fridge
Hi see Time stamp 49:34
Wouldn't you still get some power even if it's raining?
Very little, no sun in sight
Do you recommend having an extension MC4 cable or 3 prong standard US outlet extension cable to connect a refrigerator to the delta mini coming from solar panels outside? As i see it, i either get MC4 to keep the mini inside the house, or just use a long power cable going outside with the mini while plugged into solar panels and keeping power supplied to said refrigerator. But i dont know if signal/power is degraded by using either longer MC4 or longer power plug. Thanks in advance!
How much solar you trying to connect to the Delta Mini
@@TechMadeEzy For now only one 160w EcoFlow solar panel, exactly like the one you have in this video. Ideally i would like to keep the power station next to the refrigerator just like your test, which would mean i should get MC4 extension cable, but if that also means less power, then maybe i should just use an extension cord and leave both units outside or at least keep the power station under shade. What configuration would be better and efficient?
EDIT:
Option 1: EcoFlow 160w solar panel outside + MC4 extension cable (30ft) to Delta mini Inside to refrigerator
Option 2: EcoFlow 160w solar panel & Delta Mini outside + power extension cable to refrigerator
How long do you need? 30 foot? 50 foot cable?
@@TechMadeEzy I believe 30ft will suffice plus the extra length from the solar and delta mini come with, should equate for some slack.
Here is a 30 foot from a known brand

How many charging cycles is the mini rated for?
800 then it has 80% capacity left
@@TechMadeEzy Thanks that's not bad for a NMC. I'm torn between this and a LiFePo Bluetti.

Wish my fridge only burned 0 watts. Mine uses 10 watts.
I don't think your fridge uses only ten watts. When the compressor comes on, it certainly draws more than 10 watts.
those panels are really old. New panels now are working even if they cover half of them.
Seems this video is targeted at people with no understanding of even basic electrical concepts.
Since you outlined the video at the beginning, some time stamps would have been nice.
What happens if you try to charge a EV car?
I believe Tesla makes a cable that plugs into a regular outlet but it charges very slow. You could plug that into a delta pro but it’s not gonna give you much of a charge.
