Great video on this generator. I have two labs, one black and one yellow. They only shed twice a year, once from spring until fall, then from fall until spring. They do bring great joy to our household though.
I just ordered this, but it is now a dual fuel, LPG/Gas. Also ordered an extra battery for my Delta 2 Max. Already have a Delta, Delta Max, and of course the 2 Max.
AWSOME REVIEW OF THE SMART GENERATOR AND THE CARE , CAPACITY , AND SMART START AND RECHARGE TIME FEASIBILITY IT HAS DURING A POWER OUTAGE OR ANY RECREATION FULL SYSTEM USE IT DELIVERS .
They need to make this dual fuel so it could run on propane or gas. It would provide a remarkable home backup or off grid system with a Pro, extra battery and a smart panel.
Great review. Many thanks. Can’t wait for the smart generator and home panel to come to the uk. Also love the idea that there might be a wind generator you can add one day. Maybe a pico hydro too even? What d’ya think?
Great review. This is one of the reasons I purchased the delta max. I have a small inverter generator I plan on using to charge my delta max if the solar panels don’t keep up but really want the ECOFLOW gen. I haven’t found it to be in stock though. 😞
Hey Al I can’t wait to watch this one what part of the country do you live in? I’m in Phoenix Arizona it’s starting to get hot here I think it was 97 today.
It really all depends on what you're doing obviously if you have a Delta Pro or a Delta Max this could be a benefit but as a standalone generator probably not but thank you for watching
I agree, the only real benefits I see with the Smrt generator is it can start on its own and you can monitor it through the app. Down sides are it still has to sit outside. It can only produce 1800 watts, which isn't much if you're using this to charge a DP and extra batteries. You can't add an extension cord. It only holds one gallon of gas and can only run for three hrs. at a time.
@@Pk3_Garage 1800 watts is the max rate the station can take, every 2K small generator I've looked at holds the same about 1 gallon of fuel. Runtimes are similar also at full load. Sit outside? Cloudy days or weeks Solar panels are pretty worthless. The extension cord is valid point, however the generator charges power stations with DC that's more efficient with no inverter loss, plus the data channels.
You bring up some valid points. I don't think charging it charging with DC power is a deal breaker for most. As long as it produces power when needed. If your DP and/or batteries are at low charge, you will need to have enough power to recharge them, at a reasonable amount of time, while having enough power to run other things all at the same time. Remember, the lower the input watts, the slower the charge. For example, we have just the DP and a 9000/7250 tri-fuel generator. We can charge the DP, at 1800 watts, while having enough power to run everything in our home at the same time. It cost us $850 and holds 8 gal. of gasoline. Our primary fuel source is NG. We get 13 hrs. run time at 50% load, that's 3625 running watts.
Excellent Vid. Been looking at this vendor for a bit now on Amzn. You've answered a LOT of questions I had on them. Thanks. One question - Is it switchable btw 120/230v? I'm on a well and the well pump is 230v.
thanks for watching it hopefully will be available at some point, try and use our links it will help our channel, were in Affiliate of Amazon and EcoFlow Stay in touch and again thank you 🙏🏼
First off great review as usual. But I have a question? I want to purchase 2 delta pros and smart charger. So my question is? Is there any way to charger both deltapro when they are depleted? Or will it only charge one?
Nice video I have 2 questions When you connect the battery do you get ac output from the generator without running ? Can you connect any battery to charge automatically ore only eco flow battery ?
I have been looking at this system for several months. Plan to wait and see what the long term reliability is after marathon operation. Since I would use it for hurricanes I need it to be reliable and operate for long periods of time. Concerned about all the complex electronics being a point of failure.
I understand your concern. I was thinking that way too. Then, the more I thought about it, the more sense it made to make a purchase. We just bought the EcoFlow Delta Pro unit only. Even though we haven't had it long, I believe it will hold up over time. With everything going on in the world now, you might not want to wait too long. Don't be surprised if they aren't available, when you're ready to purchase. Hurrican season is just around the corner.
I don’t have this one at all nor a delta I have the river pro. I can assure their products is good quality and well made. I lasted 5 days through hurricane Ian with it. I’d charge it solar and sometimes while driving around mostly solar. It’d power my mini fridge, lights, and a fan. Planning on getting something bigger since I was having my doubts like you I just went with the river pro to give it a try. I’m now looking at the delta max with a back up battery or the delta max with this smart generator and later down the road get the extra battery.
Great video but I have a question. I just ordered the dual fuel generator, a delta pow with two extra delta pro batteries and two 400 watt folding EF solar panels. Is there a way to charge the delta pro and 2 extra batteries with the duel fuel ecoflow generator without unplugging one of the extra smart batteries first.
Nice, detailed video review. I'll stick with our Predator 9000/7250 Tri-fuel generator. We can run our entire house, while charging our Delta Pro, at the same time in just two to three hrs.
I would love to see someone present a creative solution for their battery cable thats "proprietary" and FAR too short to be safe for a generator so close to your home. I cant find anyone with any videos that openly address this issue and truly potentially fixes it.
Brooklyn..I..sweet doogy..I am so confused on which one to buy...amazing products. Almost bought the Bluetti EB 70 but no APP to run, like the Ego but which one. Great review.
If you need an app which I believe can be very helpful I would say the river pro it's also expandable so you can add another battery and if you have the budget honestly I love the Delta Max
This is a really cool device. I suppose it would be a bit too much to ask for the Delta Max battery to be able to power the Smart Generator's AC inverter with the engine off. One inverter for both gasoline and battery power.
hi. nice informative video. i am considering purchasing the dual fuel model. how long does it take to fully charge up either the delta max or delta pro? is it like they advertise under two hours? and will it take a whole tank of gas or more?
When you say it has a battery inside. Is that battery just for the engine start, or does that battery store power for electric use without engine running.
Thank you for your informed videos, my question however is for the delta mini at 882wh and 1400w can this power a 1000w microwave for 8 hrs plugged in, using the wave periodically for 2 minutes at a time.??
What you need to do is know the wattage it uses and also the surge wattage which is normally a start up wattage. In general these are very important. I would probably recommend a Delta Max because you can also expand that with two additional batteries. Here is a calculator you can use, I hope this helps let me know if you have any additional questions I’ll always try my best calculator is below convert-formula.com/w-wh
Nice generator and smart features but its a little underpowered at 1600 and 1800 watts not really powerful enough to be affected in larger systems to charge faster just wished it was at least 2500 watts or more especially given the price point great idea though just a little underpowered for me.
It's really not for someone that wants a generator it's really more of an add-on to the ecoflow ecosystem if you have a Delta product it's more of a backup when you don't have access to solar and maybe your power is out you can at least use gas to charge your power stations
I notice that the power output on this generator is considerably less than the charging capacity of the EcoFlow Pro -- I wonder if they're going to come out with a larger capacity model, or a way to hook up two of them to the same unit? Maybe without using one of the ports in the back where you would normally connect an external battery? It would be great if you could have your main controller plugged into everything battery-wise and output-wise, and then add a generator to that configuration so that you could charge the unit while it's being used.
Dave I agree to a point I have to say I have started getting sponsorships but to me it’s so much more important that I’m honest with my subscribers even if I have to damage the relationship with the sponsor because you guys are so much more important and it’s extremely important to be honest about the product so you guys know all of the information and can make the decision
@@TechMadeEzy hope your not a bot. Coz my remark was only. Wouldn’t it be good if it was available. I didn’t ask was it available. Starting to worry now about possible bot accounts
And I'm running a green house off of the eco flow system which consists of 12,000 btu AC, humidifier 2 to 3 fans and an ac infinity intake will 2 eco flow delta pro 2 work? Or what should I purchase from eco flow?
Thanks for the video I do have a question I hope you can help answer If I have a delta max pro with the extra battery attached would the generator if attached to the delta max pro would it charge both the pro and the extra battery at the same time or do I need to manage the pro and the battery separately from the generator Thanks
Hi David, you are mixing up the names but it's OK it happens, there's a Delta Pro and there is a Delta max. If you have the smart generator attached and set correctly in the app it will charge the pro and the pro will charge the extra battery from what I understand. Thanks for watching David
Hi, I have a further question on this, if you have the smart generator and a external battery plugged into the Delta Pro, could one also plug the Delta Pro into the mains and thus use it as a UPS? If the Delta Pro "ups" reaches a set point of discharge, the generator kicks in to charge the batteries and supply power? I am looking at this for a small data center for local Search and Rescue and Emergency Communication Unit.
It would also be nice if one could attach it to the internet and monitor it remotely and get push notifications like if the fuel it's a certain level then you can go and refuel it, you don't need to be there and checking it multiple times during the day.
@@TechMadeEzy can one monitor the fuel from 500 meters to 2 km away? I am thinking of users like farmers and others who might use this as remote backup power for things like water pumps.
G'Day from Downunder! Thanks for the Nice review, but I have a question that there seems to be no answer too just yet..... If you take one of the Extra Battery Units (ie Expansion battery not main unit), either the Delta Pro Battery or the Delta Max Battery and connect it to the Generator for charging..... with the Engine Stopped, can the Inverter inside of the Generator continue to provide power from the attached battery unit? If you don't know, is it something you can test, As I would see this being a useful feature in some situations as well? Another question that I can not find an answer too, is whether or not the Internal Battery is Recharged / Kept charged by an attached Delta Pro / Delta Max / Expansion battery when the engine is not running? I.e., the Generators internal battery should never go flat even if left switched on in standby, so long as the attached Delta power station has charge and is switched on? Logic Tells me that a smart design engineer would have considered this, but you never know, and its not mentioned. Reason I ask mainly is for those who have the Smart Home Panel, with attached Delta(s), but also may have a Smart Generator attached. Basically can the generator be left with its Switch on, so that it is always ready to provide extra backup power without the user needing to worry about its battery going flat? Cheers!
Hi thank you # 1 is no from my knowledge # 2 I believe the battery gets charged very slowly in the generator as the gas generator runs. That’s my guess. I would say contact EcoFlow to get an answer support@ecoflow.com
I know this 2 years old but a great video. Does anyone know if it's possible to connect the duel fuel to a max 2000 with the 2 extra batteries? I know the gen uses the extra battery cable and connection. Can I use an adaptor so I can run both extra batteries also?
@TechMadeEzy Hi again. My duel fuel generator arrived today. I have it up and running on propane. My question is can I have petrol in the gen as well as the propane attached while im running on propane. Does it conflict with both fuels. Thanks 💯👍
If you were to take the amount of money that all these products cost, you could just buy a whole house generator and pay an electrician to install it. It would seamlessly kick in when the power goes out. Lastly, it would be less money and less hassle than that whole setup.
@@e.m.c.2209 I guess it's portable if you move and want to pack it up and take it with you. As portable as a large generator that you can pull out of your garage and plug into a transfer switch. Anyway, I'm all for batteries but, I think this whole thing is a dumb use of money. And, again, for the same money, there are better approaches .
I agree. That’s what my wife says too. But the portability is what I like about it. I have the Pro, extra battery, and the generator and they can be taken anywhere like camping, RVing, working outside, etc. Plus if you move, or the wife kicks you out, it comes with you.
I think it’s connected to his WiFi and it gives off IP addresses probably. I know in my app I think it tells you the name and I believe IP also not too positive.
kinda sucks if you have two smart batteries, the inverter, and the generator…how do you charge both batteries and the inverter if you need to hook up the generator?
@@TechMadeEzy i know, lol…i wonder if the AC port on the generator would charge everything without me having to unhook one of the batteries…i’d just lose the auto feature but could still turn generator on/off through the app…hopefully, they come out with some sort of splitter, lol..
@@TechMadeEzy oh no, lol…i mean just the AC charging…leave the batteries connected to the main unit and plug the generator into the AC port on the main unit…no DC will be used…should be the same as plugging the main unit into wall outlet while both batteries are connected…otherwise, i’d just go with a different brand of generator…i only use these for my work trailer doing carpentry work
15 feet of cable is a joke. Unless you are running this generator out of an RV the auto start feature is not realistic for most people because the cable is too short. Most people will have to move the batteries closer to the door just to make the connection. This defeats the auto start feature. I would rather have a dumb generator with a long cable, than to have to move batteries that weight 99 pounds close to the door and then perform a manual start.
I re-watched this review to see what the dB level was. The standard generators manufactures measure the sound level is 7 meters (~23ft) away from the unit.
You can do that but it just needs to have an inverter that provides a pure sine wave AC outlet you could find them they're available thanks for your comment
I wrote EcoFlow and asked about making upgrades to allow using the Infinity port or adding a connection to allow charging the unit and 2 spare batteries. Here is there reply: "Our DELTA Pro has 2 extra battery ports, so you cannot connect 2 extra batteries and 1 Smart Generator. Currently, we don't have a plan to add more ports. And the Infinity port is used for EV charging, which is a different function.But I will still send your suggestion to the relevant team to let them decide."

Another question that I can not find an answer too, is whether or not the Internal Battery is Recharged / Kept charged by an attached Delta Pro / Delta Max / Expansion battery when the engine is not running? I.e., the Generators internal battery should never go flat even if left switched on in standby, so long as the attached Delta power station has charge and is switched on?
Logic Tells me that a smart design engineer would have considered this, but you never know, and its not mentioned.
Reason I ask mainly is for those who have the Smart Home Panel, with attached Delta(s), but also may have a Smart Generator attached.
Basically can the generator be left with its Switch on, so that it is always ready to provide extra backup power without the user needing to worry about its battery going flat?
Cheers!
Hi thank you
# 1 is no from my knowledge
# 2 I believe the battery gets charged very slowly in the generator as the gas generator runs. That’s my guess.
I would say contact EcoFlow to get an answer support@ecoflow.com
I know this 2 years old but a great video.
Does anyone know if it's possible to connect the duel fuel to a max 2000 with the 2 extra batteries?
I know the gen uses the extra battery cable and connection.
Can I use an adaptor so I can run both extra batteries also?
Thanks as far as your max question you have to use one of the ports for the generator so you can't have two batteries connected to it
@TechMadeEzy I thought so buddy. Bit silly that as the max could be a 6.2k . You'd think ecoflow would have sorted an adaptor like the pro.
Cheers 🍻
It's still a very nice unit enjoy stay in touch if you have any questions let me know
@TechMadeEzy Hi again. My duel fuel generator arrived today. I have it up and running on propane. My question is can I have petrol in the gen as well as the propane attached while im running on propane.
Does it conflict with both fuels.
Thanks 💯👍
To my knowledge yes they are 2 separate fueling systems but you don’t want gas to sit too long in the unit. I would run the gas until it’s dry.
If you were to take the amount of money that all these products cost, you could just buy a whole house generator and pay an electrician to install it. It would seamlessly kick in when the power goes out. Lastly, it would be less money and less hassle than that whole setup.
Yeah but many of us are looking for something portable. Not something permanently installed.
@@e.m.c.2209 I guess it's portable if you move and want to pack it up and take it with you. As portable as a large generator that you can pull out of your garage and plug into a transfer switch. Anyway, I'm all for batteries but, I think this whole thing is a dumb use of money. And, again, for the same money, there are better approaches .
I agree. That’s what my wife says too. But the portability is what I like about it. I have the Pro, extra battery, and the generator and they can be taken anywhere like camping, RVing, working outside, etc. Plus if you move, or the wife kicks you out, it comes with you.
one thing I forgot to is purchase the DC adapter for the delta pro. Can't believe that they do not include it.
How long will it take for the generator to charge the ecoflow max from 30% ?
Max wattage is 1800w in all the right conditions so that depends. It could be around an hour or less.
Thanks I need to get that
My pleasure
the gas part only works in cold weather not for summer fun
Carlos welcome to the channel I don't think I've seen you around
the delta max will add at least 30 miles a day to any evword up
Why are parts of the screen blurred out…?
I think it’s connected to his WiFi and it gives off IP addresses probably. I know in my app I think it tells you the name and I believe IP also not too positive.
Also, my god, that is such a good baby! I wanna pet em :))
How much charging do you get from one tank of gas?
5.3kw per tank per EcoFlow pubs
kinda sucks if you have two smart batteries, the inverter, and the generator…how do you charge both batteries and the inverter if you need to hook up the generator?
The generator is just an alternative way to charge in the case you don’t have AC or SUN for solar.
@@TechMadeEzy i know, lol…i wonder if the AC port on the generator would charge everything without me having to unhook one of the batteries…i’d just lose the auto feature but could still turn generator on/off through the app…hopefully, they come out with some sort of splitter, lol..
I don’t believe the generator will charge using both DC and AC you might wanna check with EcoFlow
@@TechMadeEzy oh no, lol…i mean just the AC charging…leave the batteries connected to the main unit and plug the generator into the AC port on the main unit…no DC will be used…should be the same as plugging the main unit into wall outlet while both batteries are connected…otherwise, i’d just go with a different brand of generator…i only use these for my work trailer doing carpentry work
I wish I learned carpentry 🪚
hi doggy
Hi she passed in July of last year but after a year of an empty home we have a new girl named sunshine

15 feet of cable is a joke. Unless you are running this generator out of an RV the auto start feature is not realistic for most people because the cable is too short. Most people will have to move the batteries closer to the door just to make the connection. This defeats the auto start feature. I would rather have a dumb generator with a long cable, than to have to move batteries that weight 99 pounds close to the door and then perform a manual start.
It's to lowd
Eco mode isn’t that bad it’s definitely quieter
I re-watched this review to see what the dB level was. The standard generators manufactures measure the sound level is 7 meters (~23ft) away from the unit.
Unfortunately, you would still be much better off just buying a regular higher wattage gasoline generator for much less the price.
You can do that but it just needs to have an inverter that provides a pure sine wave AC outlet you could find them they're available thanks for your comment
I wrote EcoFlow and asked about making upgrades to allow using the Infinity port or adding a connection to allow charging the unit and 2 spare batteries. Here is there reply:
"Our DELTA Pro has 2 extra battery ports, so you cannot connect 2 extra batteries and 1 Smart Generator. Currently, we don't have a plan to add more ports. And the Infinity port is used for EV charging, which is a different function.But I will still send your suggestion to the relevant team to let them decide."
Thanks for sharing Lawrence
