EcoFlowDELTA Pro 3
DELTA Pro 3 owners in r/Ecoflow_community report a burnt-electronics smell in the first week (July 2024), a replacement unit that stopped taking high-voltage solar after the first stopped AC charging (June 2026), and a self-powered solar setup losing about 1.25 kWh a day to overhead (May 2026).
A tow handle that broke at three weeks was refused under warranty twice because Amazon sold the unit, then replaced after a public thread (September 2026).
Four owners describe it running radon-fan backup, daily solar use and builds of 20 to 24 kWh.
Goal ZeroYeti PRO 4000
Owner posts on the Yeti PRO 4000 run from September 2024 into 2025 across r/preppers, r/Generator and r/VanLife.
One new unit drained a refrigerator load to zero within a day until Goal Zero support had the owner clear a demo mode with full charge cycles (r/preppers, September 2024).
A van owner reports a one-year-old unit that shuts off at 20 percent and an AC port that melted.
An RV owner says the station had many problems at launch, most fixed by firmware (r/Generator).
Another owner logged the inverter cycling between 113 and 124 F on a 50 to 200 W load (r/Generator).

OutdoorGearLab, which buys its test units, drew 3,790 Wh of 4,096, 93 percent, charged at 1,293 Wh an hour, about 3.2 hours, and named it its favourite for home backup (January 2026).
TheSolarLab, which earns affiliate commission, measured about 89 percent at a sustained 3,650 W and a 120 V charge in 2 hours 54 minutes against 2 hours 20 claimed, and found the 120 V and 240 V outputs cannot run together.
CleanTechnica's long-term review praised draws above 4 kW in an RV but needed three battery resets in five weeks (July 2025).
Goal ZeroYeti PRO 4000
TheSolarLab, which earns affiliate commission and offers a discount code, held 5,250 W for 10 seconds and 4,800 W for over a minute, measured a 21 W idle draw and kept it running through a hose-down, and faulted the 1,800 W AC charging cap, the lack of 240 V and proprietary solar cables.
CleanTechnica, testing a unit Goal Zero sent and using affiliate links, ran a cooktop, a blender and a convection oven for several days without a fault and found the trolley handle flexes under the weight (November 2025).
How-To Geek, which earns affiliate commission, recharged it from the wall in a little under 3 hours and ran house circuits through a Haven 10 that needed an electrician to install (September 2025).

Practical Sprinkler Advice, which bought its unit at REI, ran two air compressors at about 1,600 W to blow out a sprinkler system without a shutdown or warning, and named the price and the weight as its two complaints (November 2025, about 250 views).
