Of course, I have a regular generator. But, there will probably be a time where fuel will be unavailable, or extremely expensive. I have the Delta Max, River Pro, and 160w panels. They are all super high quality. I don't have any other brand to compare it to, but EcoFlow does everything I need. I say forget any 100w panels from any company, the 160w makes a huge difference. The EcoFlow panels are super nice.
I have 2 Delta Minis plus a 100w panel and a 160 watt panel. Honestly, I use the 100w panel on a little Westinghouse 300 that has limited input power on the solar charge port. I have 2 small gas generators, but just the noise is annoying. I normally only run the smallest one during power outages to run my sump pump. Now the Delta will run the sump pump for a few hours so no rush to crank up the gen. BTW, got the Minis because of the weight, 1260wh and only 24lb. A major consideration at my age, lol
I do agree that it is time to switch to the Delta Max. Gas has been very expensive lately and using a renewable power source like the sun is one way to save money.
Probably sell a kidney. I just have the old necessary gas one and a woodstove and candles. I have a lot of cheap solar chargers when they were about 10 dollars each and can power USB devices. Heat is a priority over electric in the winter. I'm prepared to be uncomfortable if it happens. I can alot and dehydrated to make food shelf stable.
Most retired folks are on a “fixed income.” Many people who are still actively employed are also on “fixed incomes,” as they do not even receive cost of living raises. There are things we would all like to have that we can simply not afford. The only option I can think of is to begin a saving fund and perhaps look into buying a smaller solar generator/power bank. The smaller ones can’t do all of this, but they can run a fan, lights, a computer, and charge radios and phones.
@@bjscribner3347 The cheap solar chargers and got many over the years with USB chargeable devices even USB rechargeable batteries. USB flashlight and other stuff over the years. 10 dollars here and there was worth it during power outages when they were cheaper. A lot of USB devices all the time. A ten dollar solar charger can power a tablet and probably get a charge on a small laptop. Haven't tested that but a 10 inch Kindle no problem during an outage. I just have a gas generator with cords everywhere during an outage. I'm not picky. In the north so AC isn't needed. A tiny fan will suffice and there's USB fans. If gas runs out I plan on a canning frenzy out of the freezer. Got the woodstove which is more important to me. You can find something in your budget. I'm always plugging in something USB and in an outage the little chargers do it. Unless it can power my house 24 7, I don't consider this to be viable for me. A full house system I'd never live long by enough to pay off.🤣

Nice review of the Delta Max. I find it quite powerful with around 2016Wh of capacity I can definitely plug in almost anything to it.

Thanks for the review. I do like the Delta Max since it has 2016Wh of capacity which is quite a lot.
One of things I do like about the Delta Max is the fact that I can connect an extra battery to it and increase the capacity in minutes.
I LOVE EcoFlow!! 😊
Very nice review I need one of these
lots of backup juice there
THKS
Can it be used in 220v/240v appliances?
I want one . How does one get one on a fixed income?
That's what I want to know. I can hardly pay my bills much less buy a generator. No one seems to wNt to help us. 😢

I picked up a delta 1000 and a 160 watt panel for around $270 a month for 5 months. I don't remember exactly about $1100 total

What I like best about the Delta Max is that I can fully charge it in less than 2 hours. It charges faster than my phone.
