Have you ever done a video on how long it takes to charge up an Ecoflow 3, and how hours does it last
I cover that info in the reviews of each product.
thanks for sharing.I would like to add a smaller unit to my RV.Maximum power over 3kwh
I’ll purchase one of those unused Delta Pro batteries!
Hands down, still the best channel out there that goes into these topics.
Best video you have done ...great explanation for the three..really helps someone looking at the three
Lots of confusion between these three units this was such a thoughtful and yet simple breakdown of the three.
Appreciate all you do
TLDR version,
I bought the dp3 because of you. Hit by hurricane, power out 5 days, great having it kept everything running, thanks for your vids👍
Long version,
Hey professor. I want to thank you for making great reviews. I've been watching you for over a few months and I liked your delta pro 3 video and purchased one for my stealth camper van 2006 Econoline e350's power system instead of building one with victron products and batteries. I chose ecoflow because I can also use it for hurricane survival and a van power station 2 in 1. I'm in SC and we were hit with 70mph winds and several downed trees and our power just came back on after 5 days. The 240v outlet on the dp3 sold me and I tied it into my houses breaker box. I was able to run every light, fan, modem for internet and fridge without 15 extension cords. I even ran a 1300w air conditioner in my master bedroom. The heat here was around 90s and night time with the humidity was in the 80s. I ran everything except my houses hvac, oven, water heater and dryer. The dp3 was awesome. I charged it with a harbor freight 5000 inverter genny on propane at 120v 1700w. But I only ran it to recharge my dp3. (Saved a lot of gas) Since I found out I can charge the dp3 with 240v faster I just ordered a 7000 watt champion inverter generator with a 240 outlet and an ecoflow 240 inlet cord for the dp3. Now I can recharge it in 70 minutes at 3400w! Just wanted to say thanks. Your video sold me on my purchase and it helped out family out tremendously over the last 5 days. Last hurricane for Matthew we were without power for 9 days and I ran my construction Genny the entire time. What a waste of gas. Now the hurricane is over I'm going to put it back in my e350 and go for a road trip. The Anderson port runs my 12 v Lights, roof fan 3x 12v cig ports, 12v cooler fridge and streamlight flashlight. I utilized the 30A RV plug for vans entire 120v system. The 120v runs a midea 5000 btu AC and all my outlets with a mini TV and microwave. I can't say enough about the dp3 and your reviews and recommendations. Thanks again Professor Hobo. Keep up the good content! And i will be saving up for an extra battery 😁👍
God bless your family. Thank you for sharing your experience and your thoughts on this topic. It was very informative and helpful for me to learn more about this product and what it can do. Thank you again for your real life experience.
So glad the DP3 worked for you. I live in SC. We were without power for 2 day and my in laws were without power for 7 days. We have a DP3 and a D2M. They were a life saver during our outage!
This is becoming an addiction at this point. I'm accumulating too many "power stations". The wife is starting to round people up for an intervention at this point. The funniest part is I've NEVER needed any of them in the last 2 years.
Same thing with me. You're not alone.
That's why I get mine with the intention of eventual camping trips. It helps immensely in justifying it to myself ahaha.
@@LeoLiburon That's how it starts my friend, then you don't go camping or use them as intended, but you need a bigger one, and then you want to run your house with it, and then.......so on and so forth.... Denial is the addicts best friend. LOL
@tonyinfinity for sure, and I'll keep smiling. I have not gone crazy yet. I'll probably find something else before that happens.
Same with the "pew-pew's", you keep adding while hoping you never truly have to rely on them.
I agree the ultra would be awesome with the wall panel. I went with the dp3 for cost reasons. And it can go im my vehicle with the car charger and solar. So its main use is that. I only use the dp3 for the house when the grid goes down for days in our area for hurricanes. Im glad I had it this week. Helene just hit and we were out of power for 5 days. Using the dp3 manually fed into the panel through the 240v we could power everything in the house except hvac stove water heater. I used a inverter generator to recharge it. We just got power back on today and my gennys run time was 25 hours and it used 8 tanks of propane for the 5 days. This was great because Matthew hit we were out for 9 days. The generator ran for 9 days and gas was hard to source. We turned it off while sleeping no fans ac lights, miserable. this week we had a small ac unit in a room. All lights, fans, TVs, fridge, modem for internet worked, it was amazing. At times i forgot we were off the grid. Cannot say enough about the dp3. I will be saving up for an extra battery and i just upgraded my genny to 240v and bought the ecoflow 240v charge cord. So i can charge in 70 mins at 3400w! Great vids professor Hobo 😎👍
Another superb video. I have by far found your videos the most informative.
Excellent and very informative review, thank you. I am considering either the Delta 3 or Delta 3 Plus. Both look like they offer 1024 wh, but it's been a challenge to compare other differences between the two.
Excellent comparison information! I have a mix of Ecoflow products: Max, Wave1 and Wave2, Glacier, River Pro 2, Delta2 and the alternator generator ... all to be transportable power ... and tools to allow me to function in my small (1100 sq ft) home in Northwest Montana (wooded property). The River Pro2 travels in my Jeep as backup power for cameras/ipad/iphone as well as for a kettle to heat water. I've used the Max and Delta2 for 2 power outages (7 hours at -18F and 6 hours just 10 days ago).
.
I'd love to add the DP3 plus panel plus dual fuel gen ... saving and watching prices. This video helped me understand what would work best for my whole house ... at this point in time. Thank you Hobotech!!!
Love that research! Thanks!
Good Evening Tom ! Thank You. Have a great weekend. TAKE CARE..
Easy choice! Delta Pro 3!
I'm waiting until Black Friday Sale?
Thank you for supporting the Environment.. Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste ..
Love this channel
Hobo Tech, you are my number one channel for sure I have a question. What is the advantage of having two inverters and two charge controllers that have two totally different parameters for solar charging? I mean, I don’t get it. It be better to have both of them identical. Why make one of them lower power I don’t get it help me understand please. Thanks!
I see there's a River 3 out now, though at first glance it doesn't seem to offer much over the River 2, except for being a bit smaller.
Thanks
Thanks Hobo
Looking forward to your video about the new 5kVa PowerKit
Been there, done that. ua-cam.com/video/FEpz1VDw-U0/v-deo.htmlsi=E7b4tncKcTiLLAGd
I don’t know anything about this stuff. I’m a widow and do not know how to operate or maintain my current gas powered generator. Just wanted something easy to use that would be big enough to run a fairly large freezer in the event of an outage. Was hoping to charge with solar panels in an emergency but sounds like maybe they don’t charge so fast. Any recommendations? Or is this just too complicated for someone like me?
The new Delta 3 + is relatively light weight and can be charged with solar. The Delta 2 Max is heavier (53 lbs) and has twice the battery capacity (2024 watts). Both are also great options. The DP3 and Delta Pro are also good, but heavier.
He is my Guru. Please also post something on Anker Solix F3800, if possible. Thanks!
Hobo has already mentioned in other reviews he won't ever review it because it's no good...too low solar input voltage to be considered.
@@surfguy777Also if it's plugged in you can only use three of the six 100-120v sockets, and no 240.
Retake? I’m in for the redo.
Love your reviews. But need more....Odin!
Can you test how large units like this handle a 20amp 120v output when plugged into a 15amp 120v wall outlet? My use case is plugging an RV into a regular wall outlet, and using the battery as a buffer for when the AC kicks on.
I've seen 4 outcomes:
1) Merge wall and battery, so 75% power comes from the wall. DPU and DP3 are supposed to do this with X-Fusion (I haven't tested)
2) Turn off charging so 100% comes from the battery. Goal Zero Yeti 4000 does this which is functional but drains the battery quickly.
3) Limit the output to 15 amps even through it could do 20 amps if unplugged from the wall. My Jackery 2000 does not this.
4) Allow a full 20 amps to flow from the wall (!!!), overloading the input. An original Delta Pro did this, which is extremely unsafe.
I'm curious how Bluetti, Pecron, and others handle this case.
Great video,,,,,can we get the pro and con of non portable set ups ,with same load ,,,,and warranty,price ,and life span of the to types,,, portable and non portable units
What about DP3 extra battery with Delta Pro?
Is there any chance of you reviewing the DELTA 3 Plus?
Next month
In Canada ESS systems(Energy Storage System) like the Eco Flow which has a UL 9540A Certification - so they can be used indoors. BUT, if your battery system doesn't have this Certification you'll need a fire safe room to store the Batteries as per Canadian building code 64-1100 (1-11) if the ESS system is around people. Just a heads up
Using the sp2 to connect a dp3 along with 2-dp linked with the latest dual voltage hub doesn’t work. It generated an incompatible battery error. This is with the latest firmware .
You can't mix and match, at least not yet.
Would the Smart Generator 4000 pair up with the Delta Pro Ultra? I know it has smart features that are compatible with the Delta Pro 3 but I can’t find much info on using the smart generator with the Delta Pro ultra.
can you plug dc in input, to power battery, while supplying output power to the house?
Would be useless if you couldn't.
Hi! Can the Delta Pro run an electric clothes dryer. For like 30 mins? Want to know if I can in a power outage.
Most clothes dryers are 240v. You'd need 2x Delta Pro or one of the other two models that output 240v.
@@HOBOTECH Ok. Thanks for the reply. I’ll just go to the laundromat .
If the power is out, the laundromat will be closed.
@@HOBOTECH 😩 That’s true. I was kinda thinking the same.
Is drying clothes your biggest concern when the power goes out? Most people think about providing light to see, a means to cook food and keep your fridge and freezer from spoiling their contents. If and only if you have all those things covered with tons of power to spare would I even consider just washing laundry and you can always just hang stuff up to dry, so no one would probably ever use any power station to run their dryer in a power outage
Most alternators run 300 to 500 ,,as in cost of hardware , install sold separately
Could this pro 3 be a backup power for a EV
Just enough to get you to a charger ? I haven't seen any kind of test anywhere else on this.
Sure. Buys you 3-5 miles for carrying an extra 100lb and taking up half your trunk.
Will there be any episodes on the Bluetti Ep800/900 or with a comparison to the Delta Pro Ultra?
No. They are no longer promoting that product.
If I had the Wave 2, would
delta 3 plus with 220w 2 sided panel OR
ECOFLOW Solar Generator DELTA2 with 220W Solar Panel
Or go up a level ?
I was thinking about scaling down to one room if power was out. Run that wave 2, charge devices, any hopefully random thing I haven’t thought of would be small things. Fridge maybe and time would be monitored and just enough
I have a chance to purchase a new 3600 for 600... Is that considered a deal not to pass up?? And can you use a jackery floor panel to charge it?
How? Is it stolen? 😀
Come on Delta Pro, want to see these at $1250 refurb by BF
IN SHTF IF NO PHONES...WHAT IS BEST SOLAR GENERATOR?
You don't need a phone to use any solar generator.
Do you mean to charge just a phone? The world's yer oyster. I'd go for Bluetti AC2A, Ecoflow River 2 (a River 3's just come out, so these will be sold off cheap in the near future) or whatever the Anker one is. 252 or something. Oh, and the small Jackery. Really there's a load of choice at that size, even some obscure budget brand ones aren't too bad.
Can you hook the delta pro 3 with the power Kit that’s 5kw… uses same connectors … I wonder if you can hook the power kit into the spare batteries
No
@@HOBOTECH have you tried ?
Are you planning to review Point Zero Energy power centers?
I don't review vaporware.
@@HOBOTECH I’m old, so I had to search what vaporware means. I was recommended portable power products from this company, but, aside from a mere handful of solar forum posts and mostly advertising YT videos, couldn’t find any substantive material…thank you for your response; I think I now understand what you meant by “vaporware”! I’ll look into other options!
Can delta pro 3 work with ultra through 50 amp hub, and if so what is the max watt output and amp capacity
No. I practically begged them to update the firmware to allow this but they said there is no demand.
Thank you. That's a shame
Hi, mr professor, is the smart panel 2 compatible with the first delta pro? Thanks
Yes
@@HOBOTECH thanks
can you connect a delta pro with a delta pro 3?
No
@@HOBOTECH can you charge two Delta pros with solar power while connected to the double voltage hub running 240? It seems you or someone said you can't charge with AC while connected. BTW love your videos especially when you shot up the bougerv panel.
HOBOTECH RULES ALONG WITH PINBALL
Ok I’m an old lady that doesn’t comprehend much of this. However I’m wanting to buy one that is light enough for me to carry when my power is out so I can use my cpap, internet, lamp, ipad or tv. Just recently my electric was out for 5 hours. Will there be any prime day deals in October ? Looking at an EcoFlow River 2 Max 299.94 at Sams Club anyone have input?
Hi can ecoflow charge ev9
Any 2000w or larger inverter can level 1 charge any EV.
pecron is my choice
What, no "GREEEETINGS?!" I feel robbed
You get what you pay for. 😉
@@HOBOTECH haha fair enough. Love the content
Greeeeeaaaattttingssss…. Positive Comment!!!
If you're looking to dominate I'll take some of that extra stuff. 😊
So one month 360 hours a year x5 1800 hours ,divided by 24:----=75 .. so it only has 75 day warranty,,,,,of used ever minute of day ,,,,,,no on inverter right ,75 day warranty?
120 hrs per year through the warranty period for each product. I put it right up on the screen.
@@HOBOTECH ty that's not even 90 day warranty,,,,common in states lemon law I think ,,,,,just a though,,,,,,no BBB account too ,,,,,,,??? Just one more question,,,,,,just is all inverter's this short cycle or just portable ones ?
@@HOBOTECH warranty coverage if use it 24/7 wow fast it last , warranty coverage,,,,hope that helps ,,,,, and is that less than 90 days really,,,short stuff
@@HOBOTECH ground lighting has been taking out equipment and no warranty coverage on that stuff even lighting eresters ,,,no help lossed ten grand fast , magnetic field on the move , and need old problems as out of pocket repairs,,,,,,,,check it out before you get hit from the ground up
@@HOBOTECH will the warranty coverage ground strike to spite in orbit lightning discharge,,,,,,,,, etc don't know any way to save equipment in this type of lighting strike discharge,that is going up,not down ,,,,,,, industrial has a way yet way up there on price
🤟🤟
4 ton AC is common to bad
hi. thx for this nice analysis . maybe u can answer to my question. I live in Europe and bought the Delta pro 3 European model 220v. I wanted to know if the ecoflow hub 50 amp,that can connect 2 batteries,is compatible with my European model, or it only works with 110v USA models? thx a lot
I know nothing about your products. They are totally different than ours.
@@HOBOTECHthx
OK, so the only hint is in the Delta pro 3.As yeah, it gives 240 V, but it aint big enough to run anyone thing that needs to run.In 40 V, it does not put out 5500 W continuously without tripping.That's only a fourth 1001 inverter oops.I'm sorry I'd totally got to have to have a second one.Then think about it together oops now you just screwed up
I thought you uploaded this video earlier today.
I had to repost it.
I vote to rename the channel to boujeetech
Nah…can’t beat “HoboTech”.
Well I’m over here trying to power my house with a jackery 160 and a 50w panel.
