The fridge pulling 600 watts was most likely running the defrost process. It only does that every now and then. My older fridge does that same thing but it only runs the heaters for a couple minutes. You just got lucky with your timing. Usually compressor draw will be around 100-150 watts when running.
Hey, my favorite reviewer.
@@rtsrts2317 howdy!
I'm glad I just read your post Jason. About 3 weeks ago, I had my kil-o-watt meter inline with my fridge and was shocked when I saw it pulling 495 watts! I'd never seen it over 120 before, normally around 105. I thought something must either be wrong with the fridge or the solgen. The next day, the voltage was back down to normal and for some reason I never thought about the defrost cycle!
@CityPrepping Can you please recommend what portable solar panel(s) you can use for the Eco Flo Delta 2? I'm on a very limited and fixed income and hope to find the best bang for my buck. I'd very much value your impute. Thank you

I think one of the issues is that people don't grasp these devices are a stop-gap measure, unless you can afford to go 'whole system' solar. Trying to limp along with them is fine, but solar panels, again, depend on a number of factors: peak solar vs the rest of the day, shade, clouds, what have you. Yes, they're much better than no power at all. But often the marketing is misleading. You're not going to be able to toss down a solar panel, and have this recharged in anything less than 'quite a while'. And it will be depleted much faster than most understand. I think everyone who can afford them should have them, because again, it beats no power at all. But for most of us, don't expect it to replace grid power. But if one does understand that, and doesn't waste power using them, it's another level of comfort, or need, in the case of medical equipment being powered. I do like the fact they're offering natural gas backup measures. But again, there's a limit to it. Straight gasoline generators go through fuel faster than many realize, as well. I have Ecoflow and another brand's solar generators, and they've gotten me through a couple 'grid down' events. But long term, I'd be hurting if my life depended on 'em.
I believe most people who has them or are even considering them do consider those factors.
I'm sure SOME blind buy and are uninformed from those simply making money promoting them.
Because the government want to seize all ways to keep humans on a chain.
You have to spend well into five figures to replace grid power. My off-grid set up would definitely get me through a bad situation. Besides, energy independence is just plain liberating.
I have the bluetti ac300 and two of their batteries. I live off grid in around 500sq ft. You’re right but there’s other small things… I have 3, 400 watt panels and have more than enough. My fridge is a 10cf fridge like an apartment fridge but has space. I replaced all my tools with the ryobi one+ so I charge about 8 batteries for them when the sun is in excess but can run my tools and stuff without depleting the bluetti. My 3 panels are on the ecoworthy solar tracker so it’s peak sun most of the time since it follows. I have no grid power at my homestead it was the little changes line the tools and fridge and stuff that make it work.
@durgan5668 - Absolutely! I have a Yeti 1250 (Goal Zero) that I purchased a decade ago, thinking the solar panels would recharge at a similar rate that energy was being used 😆! I was shocked that it took 2-3 DAYS to fully recharge in full sun (with nothing pulling power/plugged in)!
I live in an area where our power goes off at least once a month, so I bought a gas generator for running things that pull more watts, and only use my solar generator for recharging electronic gadgets.
Solar marketing is very deceptive, but at least Kris explains the limitations better than they do!
I rent a small space in my landlord’s basement. I own 4 eco flow generators. Different sizes. I’m the kind of person who benefits from this kind of solar power because the house isn’t mine but I’m good to go with my eco flows! I’m a senior and I can only drag/carry so much weight! I’m secure with what I have. They easily take care of my 2 refrigerators, my freezer that houses my ice for my Icy Breeze air conditioner and as lil the rest of my needs. These generators are great for someone like me.
And next week it will be the Delta 4 up for review. Never ends
That's the nature of products in general
Continuous Tech innovation and improvements is what is expected from manufacturers if they want to stay competitive! Unfortunately, consumers are always caught up in the “should i buy now or wait for the next model” dilemma!
😅😅😅 yeah just like we all still driving the model T huh?????😅😅😅😅😅
@BiffBamBoom-cr1vm any computer I buy is outdated soon as it's set up lol
You need to remember one thing with the generator and the unit. If the demand on the delta pro 3 is higher then what the generator and can provide, then you won’t be charging the Delta. You will be just slowing down the drain, until the battery drains out. The same thing will happen with solar, if the demand is higher then what you are getting from solar.
Remember to keep that in mind
Watts in, watts out. Can only run a deficit for so long. Always calculate total watts needed, then double it. That will give you the reserve you need.
With all of those power stations, you should be able to have your own mini power grid! Good job on the video.
I was hoping for more information on the new 3000 dual fuel gen too
Very nice unit🤩!!! I like the Delta Pro too, I like that these different generators can pair up together. Tell that company to send me some, I’ll review them and put them to the maximum test!😅
I appreciate these types of videos very much. I am still trying to understand the whole solar power concept and how all of these things work. Your videos and worksheets are very helpful.
Yes indeed! Kris is a very good teacher.
I just got into this crazy solar world about a year ago myself.
By watching his videos, I learned how to build my own unit ( for about $700) that would be equivalent to a $1000 ready made unit.
Good luck and have fun!
So what happens when the grid is down, and we don’t have the internet to control our solar generator
Neither Bluetooth nor wifi require the internet to function.
But in the hypothetical scenario in which your cell phone and wireless router are both destroyed and yet your power station miraculously survives, then I guess you could just press the buttons on the powerstation like some sort of hairy luddite barbarian.

Hello there again :D
I love my delta 2 pro
I really appreciate learning from you as I try to find the most affordable to power my two 5 ft chest freezers during a power outage. Will you be updating your spread sheet soon to include this EcoFlow Delta 3 Plus and the new Pecron E3600 lfp?? I am leaning towards the Anker F2600 (we want to power the RV as well) but now considering these two new devices you recently reviewed. Thanks for your time and efforts!
Do these units work WITHOUT a cell phone/bluetooth - ie ol' fashion manual set up? If the grid goes down, even with my solar powered charges for my cell phone - no satellites - no wi fi, bluetooth to communicate with a power source - am I right or wrong in this thought?
Use case examples of the smart feature being meaningful:
The power is out and I want to make a loaf of bread. My bread maker needs to sit for 1h+ to let the dough rise. Other units will turn themselves off in this time to conserve battery. Bread wasted. You can adjust this setting and make bread with an electric bread maker in a field.
The comparison of 4 different brands is making me dizzy because the camera angle isn't flat...
I love my EcoFlow.
@@jamesyasko3534 What Solar panel do you use with it?
Kris what are your thoughts on "extreme" events....such as killing the internet or back door off switch to cell phones (we know this exists)? One of the reasons I went with 2 Aferiy's (besides a killer price/ free shipping at the time) was because it wasn't dependent on a phone interface.
I want something thats gonna switch on automatically and run my house
Solar is so awesome! Especially with this awesome portable device!
Thanks for all the work you put into these kinds of videos.
Good stuff Kris. Thank you for the spreadsheet!
Solar generator salesman of the month goes to Kris on city prepping
I wonder if this has the most recent pager technology installed!

Good afternoon from Syracuse NY brother
Good afternoon!
@@StuckInNy Hi my friend
Thanks
I'm probably going with DJI. They appear to be blowing all the rest out thr water
Who actually has money for any of this?
lol right? when I saw his stock room I got a little jealous
I really want a solar generator that could just power a full size fridge and a wall unit air conditioner but it's way too complicated to understand what kind of unit I would need. 😖
My D2M easily powers both my small freezer and fridge for around 27 hrs with no recharge. If I connect my 2x 110watt panels, I can run them almost forever depending the sun, etc.
@@geod3589 Hi, thanks. What is a D2M? Is that the earlier Ecoflow Delta version?
@@cathyarmato7132 Delta 2 Max.
Good video Kriss and team. I appreciate your data focused approach. I did notice that the larger units such as EcoFlow, large Zendure etc. are not listed on your spreadsheet. Is that because they are larger systems?
I wish I could afford this unit. Pricing is scary and regular. Joe can't buy this.
I can't wait until it is available in the EU/the Netherlands. It looks like an ideal backup and camping solution.
I definitely need to invest in one of these soon. These hurricanes here in Florida are about to go crazy lol
Greetings from Louisiana
Amazing machine this is all I need, water and weed
Any news on when this is coming to the UK?
Any talk of a Delta 3 Max?
I'm stuck in thinking in terms of Amp hrs. I know my 15500 btu AC uses 100amp/hr(12v). My battery bank 1020 amps.
Easy. Just multiply them
12x100 is 1200wHr
Amp hours are useful, but often misleading because the actual amount of energy can be misrepresented based on the voltage chosen to measure at. (specifically multi-cell batteries and not using the overall pack voltage)
NICE
I thought you were a bigger fan of the Bluetti Chris, or was that last year 😅
What ever pays the bills
Love the channel, but it's become very battery review heavy.
Makes money for them
Not as good as the Pecron E1500lfp
Wow, so much to try to absorb.
