EcoFlow vs Jackery

Specs from each maker’s product page, checked November 1, 2026.

Short answer

At the same size they’re close. The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 has a little more capacity than the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus (1,070 vs 1,024 Wh) but less output (1,500 vs 1,800 W). Their cycle ratings aren’t measured the same way: Jackery counts to 70% capacity, EcoFlow to 80%.

Fridge runtime: capacity × 0.85 ÷ 64 W, the average draw of ENERGY STAR’s median bottom-freezer fridge (560 kWh a year). Both makers publish the 0.85 formula. The DELTA Pro 3 lists no surge figure on its page.

What actually differs

Output. Size for the biggest thing you’ll run, plus its start-up surge. A 1,500 W microwave or a window AC rules out the small models of either brand.

Cycle ratings. Jackery’s “4,000 cycles to 70%” and EcoFlow’s “4,000 cycles to 80%” aren’t the same promise; 80% is the stricter end point.

Capacity per dollar changes with every sale, so check current prices against the Wh, not the model name.
