Complaints
  • Shut off under an 1,800 W pass-through load, per one owner

One owner report in r/Ecoflow_community names the DELTA 3 Max: in UPS use with an 1,800 W load it shut off on an "AC inlet power too high" fault instead of switching to battery (November 2025). A second, positive post was first written on EcoFlow's own forum by an account that may be tied to the brand, and it is not counted.

TheSolarLab, which earns affiliate commission and quoted a discount-code price, measured 79 percent AC efficiency, a full wall charge in 68 minutes and 27 W of idle draw, and found it quiet and dependable for basic backup. It faulted the 500 W solar cap, which took over four hours to refill it in ideal sun, and the missing expansion port.
