EcoFlow DELTA Solar Generator (PV160W)

Great product and excellent service from ecoflow

For the type of work I'm in this is a fantastic buy . Have recommend to several people at work. Worth the price and saves me a bunch headaches in the future

Had to purchase when Governor Cuomo, closed April 30, 2021 the Nuclear plant that provided 25% of power for New York State with no replacement and backups. So we got backup

Are still testing it out but so far has powered everything I've tried. (refer, freezer, small travel trailer) Havent used solar panels yet. Charges very quickly from a plug in either house or truck. Love it's quietness and portability

This is peace of mind for maintaining my food supplies and basic comfort if the power grid is down for any length of time. It can charge with household current, car battery or Solar. And is safe to use inside the house.

We are pleased and feel that this is a great and safe addition for our inside use in our home. We watched many reviews before we made our purchase. Happy with our purchase!

It took me two afternoons to charge the battery, but I only used one solar panel. The most wattage I could get was 100W. I may buy a second panel. I am testing the battery on a refrigerator now to see how long it lasts. I think it will be good for emergency backup.

Received and tested it's one of the best on the market.First test was the fridge and washer works like a dream thanks Ecoflow.Good product.

I got my unit in, and I was blown away with the power it has. I have an RV, but they come with it's own power system. I look to use the unit in places I need an outlet. At the park, fishing, TV at the pool, Pop it in my car and keep my beer cold. Working on my car with power tools. Some tools use battery charges for the battery, I set the charger right on top or unit. No need to walk back to house. Paint spray units, man I will be using this big time. Power out on hot summer day, This will run my window fans. Cell phones PC, I love my unit...!

My Ecoflow solar generator (EFDelta) was delivered two days earlier than expected. It was about 30% charged, so I plugged it in to fully charge per recommendation. OH MY GOODNESS - it charges FAST. It was done in about 45 minutes. I'm impressed and pleased with the number and variety of ports, especially those USB ports for my electronics.

My kids also got an EFDelta with the solar panels. They plan on using it while camping in the summer, and supplement their gas generator during power outages in winter. This brand and model was recommended by multiple seasoned campers.

The only minor issue I have is my issue. It's heavy for this arthritic senior citizen. That said, the handles are very well designed and comfortable. When the power fails, this will be be setup in a central area of the house so I don't have to move it.

I shared this info with an elderly friend who is hit with power outages several times/year. She's now planning to purchase one before winter. Her last outage lasted 8 days. A neighbor strung a long extension cord from his big gas generator to her house so she could run a small heater and keep her phone charged. She never wants to feel that helpless again.

I bought my EF Ecoflow Delta for the peace of mind of knowing that I have backup should the power go out. The 160W solar panel enhances my peace of mind should power be out for an extended period of time I have a way to recharge the generator. Nice product. Hope I never need it.

I was looking for a power source the kid ran minor issues during 4 to 6 hour blackouts in Texas. I bought it to keep in line and be there for me to switch automatically when needed. Mostly for communications and minor power needs. I also considered it for my refrigerator. This is an excellent choice for this use.

Overall, I am quite pleased with this EF ECOFLOW Delta Portable Power Station. The product looked attractive, seemed robust in construction, and was in good repair upon receipt. All outlets and USB ports worked. All expected chords and cables were in present and functional. Battery capacity performed as advertised. Solar panel performance was good. Setup and operation was easy.*** Initial Charging ***The initial factory charge was roughly 30%. The first charge (which paperwork clearly indicated should occur before use) using a standard household AC outlet took about 50 minutes, consistent with the easy to read digital display that lit upon beginning the charge.*** Instructions Quality ***The manual was generally clear, aside from a few grammatical/spelling errors and a slightly vague description/diagram of how to use the solar panel carrying case as a kickstand to angle the solar panels toward the sun.The manual added some important details that were not (as far as I could tell) on the ECOFlow website: 1) The power station needs 3-4 hours to cool before charging after a full drain. 2) Putting 3 solar panels in serial is limited to the 110W panels due to a 400W charging input limitThe first point (regarding cool time) is disappointing if hoping to quickly recharge the power station during a multi-day power outage. Hopefully, the manually is overly cautious.The second point is no big deal so long as you notice it before purchasing any additional solar panels. If you read on the ECOFlow website that you could put up to 3 110W panels in series for a faster charge than one panel and also read that the 160W panel was compatible with the ECOFLow Delta, you might have thought about getting 160W panels to charge even faster. Unfortunately, 160Wx3 = 480W, which is greater than the 400W limit. It does beg the question as to whether you could squeak by in less than ideal sunlight or whether exceeding the limit would damage the product. The manual nor website FAQs answered this question, although I am sure that customer support would answer if asked.*** Powering Refrigerator ***I powered a full sized Maytag refrigerator all day. Starting with a 100% charge, I plug-in the refrigerator at 7:15 AM. I could immediately hear the refrigerator running and see the power station display indicate output of 140W and the display indicated 7 hours of battery remaining. At 5:15 PM (10 hours later) the charge was 28% and the display indicated 2 hours remaining. The underestimate makes sense, given that the refrigerator cuts on and off as it cools and the display assumes a constant pull. Consistent with this assumption that the display logic only uses the current instantaneous draw, the display read 99 hours remaining when the refrigerator cut off. Since the manual recommended draining to 30% and then charging to 80% every three months, I stopped the experiment then, rather than drain the battery to zero. The ice in the freezer was still frozen and the refrigator was still cool.*** Powering Other Appliances ***After recharging to about 80% via solar power (see below), I confirmed that various other appliances worked and read the wattage output display for future reference. Results: Tablet: 17W (quick charger plugged into outlet) Tablet: 12W (plugged in USB port) Modem/Router: 12W Laptop, 14-in 15W Laptop, 17-in: 50W 60-in TV: 95W 60-in TV + ChromeCast: 98W Modem/Router + Large Desktop Computer + 24" Monitor: 110 - 140W (fluctuated) Microwave (rated 1100W): 1660WEverything functioned perfectly. During the 30 second microwave job, the display indicated that high a power draw would last 32 minutes (battery was at 81%).*** Solar Charging ***I tried this in North Florida in late June. I used a single ECOFlow 160W solar panel. I started at 6:30 AM, with the power station battery at 28%. It very was cloudy. I placed the solar panel flat on the driveway and connected the cables. Input was about 5W. Once the sun peaked through the clouds briefly, letting me know where to aim, I angled the solar panel toward the sun using the solar panel case as a kickstand. The input wattage said about 10W, but each time the sun peaked through the clouds it jumped to 60W or so. By 10:00 AM, the sun was out of the clouds more often, I had adjusted the angle of the panels again, the input wattage occasionally jumped to around 100W, and the batter percentage had reached 39%. I had to leave then, so I put the panels flat on the driveway, set the power station in the garage, and closed the garage door on the cable. This left the battery in the shade and kept it out of reach of potential thieves but left the solar panels free of any shadows from the house or trees. With the sun pretty high in the sky, I assumed that the panels would be nearly perpendicular to the sun until I returned. Soon upon leaving the day become bright and sunny for the remainder of the day. When I returned at 4:00 PM, battery percentage w...

Get a compressor style portable fridge and this solar inverter system and you no longer need ice on long weekend campouts! My fridge uses 6.3A 12VDC while running and a few mA when not cooling, even if it runs 100% (comes close if set to 0F, but that freezes drinks) its less than 80W; you will need 2 panels to run indefinitely, but one panel and starting fully charged this will last more then 4 days if you can get 10hrs of light keeping your food and beers cold. the unit is fairly light for over a kW of power, can drive large appliances (even inverter window units!), and looks sleek. the Panels are a little awkward to setup, and should come with a extension as two work well with cables included, but go to 3 and they are to close together, another 10' is needed.

I bought this primarily for emergency power back-up use. I love the simplicity of it. Excellent design with plenty of power for the price!

Looks good and is portable.

Hoping for the best; will revise review as time passes.

So far, this portable power station seems to be the best on the market. The ability to power my entire home in the event of a hurricane, power everything I use on a client shoot, and take with me while camping is a real game-changer. I mostly use this for power while filming on client shoots. I have the ability to take lighting anywhere, charge devices all day long, and never run out of power due to the solar panels. They really come in handy when I am filming on set all day long. I also love the ability to go out where power is not available and capture B-Roll and nature footage for clients.

Still new and easy to get charged up and ready for use. First downside is that solar charging immediately shows on the screen but soon goes dark and each time you want to check progress you need to unplug and replug the solar cable to see anything on the screen. A bit cumbersome

Very well constructed product! As a design engineer, I truly appreciate well designed, and well-built products of any kind. I have not had time to test the unit to power various appliances, but I will post my findings on Amazon in a week or two.

Well built device.

I bought the Delta and 160W solar panel after much research. This is a rapidly evolving product with increasing competition but I still think this product rates. Some of my research gave me pause on the support side, but I had a display issue after a few trial weeks, sent the charger back, and they replaced it with no problem at all. Word of caution, save the shipping box. Just in case. Highly recommend

As long as you do your research about this power station, and have reasonable expectations, it works well as described. It's not a high AMP generator, it's a medium sized Lithium Ion battery system that can be quickly charged by several methods. It has worked beautifully for us so far, to power our office work station during a power outage, to power a portable A/C unit for several hours, and some misc other stuff. In full sun, the solar panels charge it great, but plugged into a regular outlet, it charges in just a few hours at most. It holds a charge at 100% for many days (been using it regularly so I don't know how long it would actually hold a charge for). The readout display is easy and intuitive. It's silent except for when the fan comes on and that's no louder than a computer fan. Lots of different ports for devices, even 3-prong grounded ac plugs. The unit is not too heavy to carry, not too bulky, and actually has an ergonomic design so it doesn't strain your back as you can easily bring it against your body lengthwise to carry. The solar panels are very sturdy, but I would've liked a longer cord than what it comes with. Overall, it's basically a plug-n-play device, that holds a great charge, charges fast, and has solar components, with which to power small to medium stuff. We haven't tested it extensively other than the above notes, but so far it's AWESOME and has already saved our home office during 2 power outages. Will update as time goes on.
