How you doing brother , those foldable 400w panels you have how long does it take to fully charge the 4000watt delta pro 3 (minus the extra battery) ? , trying to figure this out cause im looking to get this system in a couple weeks , thanks man
I have the pro 3 topped off and ready.
When companies pay for these reviews they should at least make sure all the channels don’t release their commercials at the exact same time on the exact same day.
Simple is as simple does.
Dipsticks now a days lack forward vision - welcome to the I, Me, My ( want it now ) society.
Are you a paid subscriber? For how little ads he runs, I wouldn’t be complaining. He’s making his money while staying relevant. Other RUclipsrs run ads after ads that have nothing to do with the channel
I just commented the same thing. I wont buy their products for that exact reason.
@@mrRoverkane my channel was demonitized for years when there was content. Still is with practically no content currently. I never charged anybody to hear me speak or watch my MV's so i'll say wtf i like about the ads.
He CONSTANTLY advertises in his videos he just generally does it better than most. Im still gonna call him out on this bullshit. Most people hate it. Because its stupid. Thats a fact.
Not to mention at the same time. DIY Prepper uploaded at the same. time for me
Excellent Review Sir. Thanks. I received mine today. Charged it to 100%. I done like you said: Plugged in the Pro 3, Then Plugged in my TV , Starlink Satellite and Turned on the unit on. I then unplugged the pro 3 from the wall”. I never lost anything. So it’s true, the power was uninterrupted.
The whole “Requires an App” thing really steers me away from this.
I’ll see what Hobo Tech says.
Thanks for the video.
It needs an app for the PowerInsight monitor to work but the unit will work without an app. Just without additional efficiency management. But it is "plug and play" in many ways luckily.
Exactly! Everybody has a goddamn app including Traeger. They all say they are 100% safe but later we start getting suspicious emails and text. I’ve seen videos of porch pirates beating the hell out of each other just to steel someone’s package. These are the same type of people just for amusement would hack into someone else’s power supply just to start a fire.
As far as I know all Ecoflow products work fine without the app, but you do need the app to read the user manual, adjust various settings/features, and control the units remotely.
@@MagicPrepper. With the app and using the Smart Home Panel 2, you can turn on and off different breakers.
I went with the InergyTek Flex 1500. It has a battery heater to work in -22 degrees, and you can wire an EMP shield to the AC and DC circuits and the charge controller. With as many units as EcoFlow sent out to RUclipsrs to hock today, they should be giving away the units for half of what they want for them.
Love it, but I already have several older units. I would not connect to whole house as to many parasite draws.
The older units still work!
I worry about keeping mine plugged in case of an EMP type disaster. It seems things that are plugged into the grid will be more susceptible. 🤷♂️
Thank you for this video! I've been researching solar for an extended grid down scenarios and getting information from sources that don't fully address and/or understand the SHTF priorities is somewhat challenging because the information is coming from either converting to solar as an environmental stance or to power your tools on a job site. I hope you find much interest in your viewers to do more videos like this.
Useful devices. Planning on mebbe installing a separate set of circuits to each room of my house and shed. "Off grid circuit" . Dedicated to the battery backup. Alternative plan is to use the existing generator interlock switch and use the house circuit breaker panel as the control center to allow isolation of unnecessary zones. Dunno yet. Experimental mode time.
An generator inlet box could be a good way to run these types of units for sure.
@@MagicPrepper yes. And the beauty of the solar battery inverter is you can run it inside as opposed to a fuel generator. Just have to feed in the cable from your panel s array. But you still keep the fuel generator to top off your battery unit on bad solar days...
Everyone I follow got these free and are trying and tell us they’re such good deals to everyone who didn’t get the free ones
All the companies do it, they are called influencers.
I've been using the EcoFlow River 2 Pro as an uninterrupted power supply for my CPAP sleep apnea machine and it's been great. I like the LiFePO4 battery because it's much safer when it comes to catching fire like the other Lithium-ion batteries and the LiFePO4 batteries last for many more charge cycles than the Lithium-ion batteries. I'm thinking about buying the EcoFlow Delta 2 to power my CPAP machine and then using the River 2 Pro to power my Wifi and landline telephone.
Agree on LiFePO4 batteries!
They're very useful for that type of device. Glad it's working well for you!
So many of us were finally able to drop this video today and its interesting to see how each of us tested it. Copying You...LOL!
Hahaha good stuff. I still appreciate your SHP video helping me get the split phase circuits working. Well pump and water heater on board now.
I'm 100% off the grid. I bought Kyocera solar panels and golfcart batteries, long ago, before these were in production. I have a 2000 watt inverter and an 800 watt inverter. With 12 volt lighting 12 volt outlets and 120 volt outlets. 2 30 Amp charge controllers made by Morningstar and a breaker panel with various circuit breakers in 12 volt and 120 volt fuses.
I also have a 2000 watt champion generator that's a pure signwave as backup to main system.
Fridges are from an RV and are 2 way and 3 way. Propane 120 volt and 12 volt.
I'd like a small solar Generator, I'm looking at Bluetti, possibly. Maybe about 600 to 800 watts for evacuation purposes, or just fishing and camping for my 10ft., OD Grenn, Regatta tent, made by White Duck. It's very similar to the 10 man Arctic tent our military used.
Dang, you have an amazing setup. Good work my friend!
@@James-Johnson313 thanks. It's simple and Kyocera is a good name in solar panels, as well as Morningstar charge controllers. I have a 50 watt Kyocera solar panel and morningbstar charger for camping needs. I'm planning on a lithium battery of 100 Amp hours for my small dometic 3 way fridge for camping. An RC3000 3 way. Propane, 12 v/120v only pulls 70 watts.
I think that's one of the best benefits of these units. Their portability. Building your own system for being off grid is pretty legit for maintenance, repairs and expansion!
@@MagicPrepper my golf cart batteries lasted 10 years with proper maintenance and obeying the 50% rule on discharging batteries.
I just got an OUPES MEGAE 5 with 2 extra batteries and 6 portable solar pannels. Victron makes a 30 amp input to 240v output transformer if you only have a generator to get 240v. I got the OUPES because you can turn off the Bluetooth with a push button without worrying about getting hacked.
Interesting on the hack concept. I guess in an apartment or tight neighborhood that could create an issue.
I have the EcoFlow Delta pros for the 220 V to run my house during power outages. They are absolutely fantastic and I’m more or less follow your same philosophy of use.
It's pretty nice isn't it? My SHP is setup have all of my important circuits switch to backup power including my well pump and water heater. The water heater will be disconnected when unnecessary but in deep winter, it might be necessary haha.
@@MagicPrepper that was why I went so hard on getting 220 V, I paired that with a heat pump water heater, so that I can have a hot shower in winter. that has been a lifesaver
Thanks for making these videos. A while back these machines were on sale on one of the shopping channels.
I don’t have an issue with EcoFlows marketing strategy. Every company has to market their product so folks know what it is capable of. I have the Delta 2 Max. It has been great during a power outage. DP3 looks like a great product. It is expensive, but the price will come down some in time.
Great set up! Like the video guys!
🐐
Awesome ❤ I could REALLY use one of these
There are some good benefits with these units.
I just watched this on Pinball channel damn it would be great to have.
I'm going to go comment on his video and ask why he's copying me haha!
Built a much more financially efficient and usable system with 2x 6500 watt inverters capable of split phase 240v, 30 kWh of Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries with server battery rack (650lbs total). Takes grid, gas generator, and solar inputs for charging. All UL Listed. 100Amps max draw.
Had existing 12 kWh solar array already.
$12k
Results…..priceless ♾️. Can run off grid indefinitely at least 8-9 months of the year on solar alone.
Sounds cool. What components do you keep on hand for replacement or repair? Are there certain parts that wear out faster than others usually?
The website shows a screenshot of the Quick-Start-Guide, Warranty-card and Safety-Guide and an FAQ. A digital version of paperwork so as to consult the documentation is presumably somewhere, and information on an FCC ID or EMC ratings, and general regulations _(including residual-current-device surge protection when being charged or doing the charging),_ would be could _(including for medical equipment interference if any)_ what with it having a computer _(or SoC or firmware capable of updates as per software too)_ built in, and then if a person uses it for medical equipment they need plugged-in always _(the sort of situation a device like that might help them in),_ they can avoid becoming unwell in a power-cut situation be it lightning or grid-down or whatever. So there might be different use cases for it keeping life going, be that human, or animal (vet or ecology) or plant and so on (or fungi, yeast) or lab. So for instance, if such a donated were bought for a poorly child in a radiologically relevant environment whereby they had a suppressed immune system in an isolation room, ensuring the device could be checked for medical cleanliness ratings _(perhaps actually not all that high but say only needing to be within food grade tolerances, depending on the needs of the patient)_ would be part of a protocol. It then means insurance documentation can display compliance if needed. If it could be taken within geographical regions, for its portability, such ratings would have different zone equivalents, like say USA CISPR22 analog to European EN 55022 EMC classification _(or Canadian, or oriental equivalents, and so forth)._
My comment has no hate in it and I do no harm. I am not appalled or afraid, boasting or envying or complaining... Just saying. Psalms23: Giving thanks and praise to the Lord and peace and love. Also, I'd say Matthew6.
Good video.
Here's a question. If I had 2 complete systems? 2 delta 3s with 2 additional batteries for each system. Would i need 2 smart generators or 1? Also would i have to hook up solar to both systems or just one to charge both systems. What would i need to bridge both systems together. I have a rv and having 2 systems would be ideal for being able to run my rv and to also rum my other things when I need 1 system to be disconnected and used as a mobile system and then be reconnected when traveling because I do it full time. Thanks for your help. What I'm asking is 2 systems that 1 can stay permanently connected but one that mobile and permanently connected as I need to do multiple tasks.
Love to have this❤
It's really nice.
Hi Magic Prepper. Can you add a second battery to the base unit?
Yes I believe you can! I only say that because I don't have a second battery to verify that with but there is a secondary port.
With the transfer panel connected, is it possible to run a 240 Vac well pump too while usthe 120 Vac OR still can only run one supply voltage?
My dad owned a grocery store/distribution warehouse in North Carolina. When a hurricane hit our small town (pop. 4000) he was THE ONLY business in town with a generator. We made money hand over fist during the first 2 days of recovery from a lot of people who didn't prep and needed fresh food (don't worry we didn't price gouge but family and employees got priority for things).
On the topic of gas generators being dangerous though during another hurricane, a retired ex-cop who lived with his mentally disabled granddaughter and setup a gas generator indoors and accidentally killed them both in their sleep
Weird you drop this video the same day my power goes out...
Wow! Prophetic warning!
marketing ;)
Nice.. expensive, but cool with the 240v. Wish I could figure out how to get Echoflow and others to send me stuff for review (and to keep)
If you need portability for camping etc these solar generators are awesome.
I’ve been living offgrid for 8 years. I’ve been designing and installing offgrid solar PV systems for 15 and you can’t beat a full system.
I see people that are “peppers” and lots of prepping channels however promoting these and saying that’s what they have for their backup power for when the SHTF. I would say thats not really the best solution. A permanently installed offgrid system with separate components (inverter, charge controller, separate batteries etc) is by far better in my opinion. Custom sized and built for the customer’s needs and lifestyle. If one component fails you can easily replace it. Yes it’s more expensive but I know a fellow that paid close to $9000 for a Bluetti with extra battery pack and had 600W of solar or something. We just installed a full system for him and it rocks. The solar generator system he had wasn’t “cutting the mustard”. Now he has 5400W of solar and 40kWh of storage. AGM batteries, much safer and way cheaper than lithium. With 60% DoD (depth of discharge) that gives them 24kWh of usable capacity. Yes a lot more money but you get what you pay for. This isn’t a backup system it’s the main power source for his house. Propane cookstove and on demand hot water. Wood heat.
can I use a delta pro extra battery with the new delta pro 3 that also has a delta pro 3 extra battery , IE 2 extra batteries together? I would appreciate your input! Great channel btw!
Is Midway paying for this video, or is Ecoflow?
I think Pinball said he was the only person in the USA with one! Whaaaaaat you have one tooo and CityPrepper and SP1 and and …
Lol Jasonoid and Hobotech 😂
Hey Magic, can you say what region of ND you live? Just curious.
Western. Let's just say, I see torches at night haha
Good review, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
He'll yea dude 😊
my concern with EcoFlow has always been the app and wifi connectivity. why do I need my grid down emergency power supply to be able to receive firmware updates from China over wifi? why do I need to put it on my home network and connect it to my phone, in order to get use of all the features? I mean, one the most likely scenarios we are gonna need units like these for, IS a conflict with China, a cyber attack taking down the grid fully or partially, repeatedly short term or fully long term. And don't get me wrong, I know it's all made in China, but "dumb" things that are set up at factory once, hard wired and are an enclosed system make me feel a bit safer than a "smart" appliances that get updates from China and needs to connect to a bunch of my other devices, including getting on my home wifi anf requiring me to put an app on my phone. Seems a bit counter productive to trust the Chinese THIS much, no?
Every time I see these expensive modern convenience, tech preps I wonder how many people are focused on them and don’t even have the basics and basic skills covered..
I will be charging people alot of money to use mine. People can't survive with out their phones. They will pay alot of money to charge their phones.
I like them and even have a couple small ones. What pisses me off no end is that they give these things away to you all to make videos. No it’s not just them I dislike all companies that do this stuff. You give me one and heck yeah I’m going to put together a nice story on how it works. I don’t get anything for free I have to buy the product and I don’t want a roses video telling me all the good stuff. I want to know how this thing pays for itself I don’t lose power very often so thus will never pay for itself if that is the only reason I have this. Do a video on how it will pay for itself over time then I will like that video.
A dual fuel regular generator is more in my budget
@@MetaVizions definitely go dual fuel. Propane is where it's at.
Give us a break! How many free solar generators can one guy have! Do they tell you and all the others to release your review the same day?
Maybe if I hit the lottery 😞
I honestly hope you do.
Love the paid promotions.
Only wealthy folks can afford or be able to pay for these devices. Poor people like myself would never consider shelling out that kind of money for a 'Just in case' product. Don't get me wrong. I'd love to be able to afford these and actually purchase a system but, that ain't gonna happen any time soon. It seems like the high price for such things fall within the definition of "gouging" because, there's no way these things should cost that much. I don't know... maybe I just don't know enough about the technology. Regardless, people in my situation or with similar financial constraints, aren't going to spend that kind of money. We'll likely spend what we can afford on canned goods and long-term storable foods.
Good product video just the same. It just ain't within the realm of possibility for me.
Why is everyone pushing this exact generator on the same week? It seems very suspect and I’m not buying the infomercial.
That shits Gangster
That should've been my title.
👍👍
That time of the month again. I refuse to support these videos on principle. 3 prepper channels promoting the same generator on the same morning. Im guessing the checks cashed lol DIY prepper and another on my feed want me to "randomly" buy the same exact generator. I support you more than most. But i dont support "shill" videos so thumbs down.
Wow! That's an interesting observation. 3 videos, same solar Generator on the same day... sounds like a certain company is A**deep in a negative Biden economy; Aka the sinking Titanic?
People don't have that kind of income now to blow! 5k can be better used on goldbacks, since gold bullion is now being faked with a tungsten core! Even major gold dealers have been burned. Let alone people investing in gold bullion.
And as it stands right now? Our US DOLLAR IS JUST ABOUT WORTHLESS, as when Venezuela's currency failed! Same 💩, different year!
Oh it's not random. It's a demand which is unfortunate as I would prefer a more organic release schedule as well. To be fair, they did send thousands of dollars worth of products to a lot of people and I guess they felt that this strategy would be the best ROI for them. I've made my feelings about blitz marketing known but of course that didn't change anything. However, I do feel that these units are impressive and can really help people during a grid down scenario. Which is why I was willing to comply in order to share my findings and thought processes with those who would be interested. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I hope I was able to convey that there is more to it in the background than it may seem and we are all just trying our best to get useful information out while keeping our channels alive.
@@MagicPrepper i feel you. Send a note to them for us. Or... message each other and schedule around each other.
If their goal was to make us see the ad? We see it. And its because of their method that we dont want it now.
I dont remember the name. Because I was turned off immediately. Terrible strategy, however, thank you fir being chill about it @MagicPrepper
Its a battery bank not a generator the solar panel isnt even a generator words matter
Words like colloquialism?
@@MagicPrepperAnd "punctuation"? Lol!
It generates power...
Grid down for what 😂
Damn like 40 ecoflow vfids dropped at the same time. Marketing at its finest
It's something alright.
