The Delta Pro has many features that other power stations are now adding in. And the solar input is great at 1600W. I haven't had any issues with my DP. Let me know if you have any questions.

Delta pro firmware is a complete mess. We are on an old version that works but many many people have had issue with upgrading the firmware. If you are having firmware problems you can request a downgrade of the firmware from Ecoflow customer service. We are using .61 with our 2 delta pros’s and 4 extra batteries and have had no problems.
I am having the same problem with the D2Max. Updated firmware two days after receiving the D2M, then discovered port 2 will not work. I have two Max batteries and only port works after the firmware upgrade. Contacted support and they will via email in 1 to 3 days. Today is day 1.
😮oh no! I'm gonna refrain from updating my firmware period I have an updated any fine stuff since the holidays period I purchased mine and did it all the updates back around thanksgiving when i got them for black Friday @RankinImagery
@@NoZenithhow much was the price during the Black Friday price and what which model, delta pro or the 2 max if you are ok with sharing?
Your lucky that you haven't had any issues. I started having state of charge issues 6 months after I bought mine and then it had major problems 2 months later (would not charge). I sent it back to EcoFlow and they sent me a refurbished one since mine had a board issue. The refurbished one had inverter issues and would turn off when it had a load of 100 watts longer than an hour. Sent that one back and they sent me yet another refurbished one. The third one has the same issues as the first. State of charge issues. To summarize I would not recommend this product if you need to use it daily. I use it for my work shop to power lights, a modem, a TV and a refrigerator. I'm currently in the process of building my own battery backup system.
I’m sorry to hear about the trouble you’ve had! Like I said, mine’s been rock solid so far (besides the state of charge imbalance issue).
I am glad you haven't had issues. I believe you are might be in the minority.
It’s hard to say if a majority of people have issues. Like if you look at Facebook groups, I’d say a lot of people who post are the one with issues but many don’t post positive experiences. I’m not saying people don’t have issues with the DP, I just don’t have a good sense for the percentage. What issue have you had?
I bought 2 DPs, 4 Extra Batteries, a Smart Home Panel (SHP), and a Double Voltage Hub (DVH). Out of these, I've had 3 DPs, 4 SHPs, and 2 DVHs fail. Yes, they have been replaced under warranty. However, I can't rely on them, since they fail so much. I've given up on the SHP and moved to a manual switching panel (10 curcuits).
Very well-organized and thoughtful review.
In November 2023, we purchased a Delta Pro and two (2) Extra Batteries to use as the main power system for a "van build" we're in the middle of (it's actually a complete rebuild of a '97 Dodge Roadtrek 190 Poplar). We figure that 10.8KwH should be enough for us to power a mini-split air conditioner / heat pump in the van... you know, "roughing it" 🙂
As the build is still a work in progress, we've yet to try the system in the van, and have only had them in our house. We have played around with AC outlets (used it once during a snowstorm blackout), and have been impressed with what it can handle... AC output wise.
One of the main reasons we purchased the Delta Pro is the 30a DC Anderson port. However, we have yet to try the Anderson in the van, which is what we plan to use for powering the 12v DC fuse block (for lights and a few small DC loads, nothing major). Recently, I've come across a number of folks online (Reddit, various van forums, etc) who have had serious issues with the Delta Pro's Anderson port. I was wondering whether you've used the Anderson, and if so, what was your experience? Many thanks!
Thanks for watching! I don’t really use the Anderson port so I couldn’t say. Hope your build goes well. Sounds fun!
I do not get 120 V from the RV plug and it is wired wrong for RVs in the United States. I have five units and they have fried a bunch of ACs and other things. The RV plug on the Delta Pro has a ground on the top and 53 V on one side and 53 V on the other Should have a ground neutral and 120 V. I have no idea why there’s nothing mentioned about this all over the Internet huge problem. Customer service is terrible. They don’t speak English very well not knowledgeable at all and takes forever. Total waste of time you cannot use to Delta pros together and one is a slave. Need constant software updates and our huge tinker toys.
So unfortunately though when you turn it on everything else turns on the inverter the AC outlets the USB unlike the newer ones where you can turn them off
I don't know what you mean. There is a separate on/off button for the AC inverter.
5:01 I don't get that part. With two 110V Delta Pro, do you can run a 220V device? Which adapter you do that?
EcoFlow sells a double voltage hub, which you need to get to connect 2 DP’s to get 240v output.
Loved your video, watching your channel for the first time. Do you know that if I buy the extension battery and connect it to the main unit if it will discharge while I plug the main unit to a/c wall outlet so that I can use it as a UPS for when I travel out of town. We have many outages and it is mainly to run the fridge/freezer while out of town. Again enjoyed your review a lot.
Thanks for watching! If you get the extra battery then you will get extra capacity (run time). The UPS feature would still be the same as on the Delta Pro.

Yep. Are you considering getting one?
Is there any way of making the Extra Battery connection cable a bit longer so that one could stack the battery on top of the station? Mine is 2.5' long
You can use the cable that is meant for the power kit. I just started using one. It’s a 90 degree connector and I think it’s 1.5 meters long and is more flexible.
@@jungleriver Thanks a lot. Could you, please, provide me with a link to the power kit cable?
Hi and thank you for the video! Must I use eco flow solar panels? I see there are other brands that pricing isn’t as high. I value any input you have as I’m learning this as I go. I got the generator Delta Pro 2 last year, but due various reasons it’s not set up yet.
Thanks for watching! No, you can use any solar panels you want. You just want to make sure the combined voltage is under 150V.
@@jungleriverthank you!
I would’ve liked to see you Test with the unit itself without the extra battery. I’m trying to get one, but the price is a little high to buy that plus a battery right now. I’m trying to find a review online with just a single unit being tested
Are there particular tests that would be helpful? I didn't get the extra battery until about a 6 months after using the DP by itself. I don't think adding the extra battery would change anything about reviewing the DP by itself. But I'd be happy to help answer a question(s) if I can.
@@jungleriver I think it would right? Because adding the extra battery doubles or triples the time right? I’m a college student so can barely afford this unit but I have had so many power outage of storms, etc. The main thing is when the power goes out. I was thinking it would be very nice to power my TV along with my Internet and eventually once I get a little more money in, a small little AC unit. Your video is really good, but considering there was two batteries plugged in it was hard to gauge how long a single unit would last by itself.
@@jungleriver it would also be nice in the winter to plug-in one space heater. I understand that it said it would run for one hour, that’s inaccurate though because the space heater will turn on and off depending on the temperature so that means it will last much longer. Which is good. I’m just curious if you were to plug in a space heater in a chilly room And set the temperature to a reasonable heated temperature as if it was winter time, and also plug in a TV and your Internet router while also a few lights, how long would that last once the space heater got the room to the correct temperature? What if you did the same test with a very small AC unit? Like like a window unit or portable AC?
I had a 5+ day power outage, and I had to pull my Delta Pro around to different places to keep everything going. The telescoping handle now will not retract. I think it might be overextended. Any thoughts about how to fix it?
Will the button depress? Maybe one of the metal sections got bent slightly. I haven’t had a need to fix mine but happy to help if I can.
@jungleriver the button will depress, but it's very stiff... harder than it should be. I don't think any of the sections are bent. At least they don't look bent. I really think it's over extended, but I can't figure out how to fix that.
@@ChurnDashFarm To quote a tech from a guitar amp company when an amplifier wouldn't work at all. His question? "Have you hit it yet?" LOL!!!
Cell phone App set up..
Is that a question?
Have you come home to it yet smoking like a chimney? If you haven't, you will in due time.
Can you tell me more about this? Was it running at the time? Or idle?
@@Mike-. it was up , running and collecting solar when the whole basement filled with smoke. Likely to cause a fire. AGain, careful!
Looks good, just a couple of questions. What is the duration, how long can it power a fridge, or freezer, or AC continuously? Also can it perform outdoors in extreme heat? Thanks
