Expands to 5 kWh, half its outlets ungrounded

The DELTA 3 is EcoFlow's expandable 1 kWh LiFePO4 station, a 27.6 lb box with six 120 V outlets.

Verdict

It suits a buyer who wants 1 kWh now and room to add batteries, and who can live with three of the six AC outlets lacking a ground pin.

Three owner reports in r/Ecoflow_community name the base DELTA 3. One owner has run it daily since July 2025 on 400 W of panels with a fridge, an air conditioner and a 3D printer without trouble (May 2026). Against that, a unit misreported its charge as under 10 percent while near full and cut power to a fridge during a planned outage (July 2026), and another owner heard inverter clicking (March 2026).
