Watt’s up, indeed. EcoFlow’s DELTA 3 1500 portable power station has just received a deep 41% price cut, bringing it down to $589 from $999 and putting the pressure on anyone in need of reliable backup power or a road-ready energy hub. With a 1,536 Wh LiFePO4 pack, a 1,800 W inverter (2,200 W with X‑Boost), and six AC outlets out of its total 15 ports, this thing really punches above its weight class for home use, camping, or RV-bound power.
Big Capacity with Real‑World Run Times You Can Trust
Specs are important, but what really counts is what it can run. A new Energy Star fridge will usually consume 1–1.5 kWh a day; the DELTA 3’s 1,536 Wh pack (call it probably around 80–90% usable after inverter losses) can keep a fridge and a few essentials going through an outage. Think a router/modem combo (~20 W), a couple of LED lights (~30–50 W), and phone or laptop charging without even batting an eye.


Medical devices and productivity gear are easily within reach. A 40 W CPAP running for eight hours can utilize approximately 320 Wh of power — several nights on a single charge. Camera batteries, drones, and power tools can be swapped out using one of the six AC outlets or high‑output USB ports. Spikes for items such as microwaves and space heaters are allowed in brief spurts by X‑Boost, while the 1,800 W continuous rating will be plenty of power to run individual household appliances most times.
Quick Charging Performance and Flexible Power Inputs
Speed is a standout. When you plug the DELTA 3 into a wall, it has a slightly faster recharge rate of empty to full in around 1.5 hours thanks to being able to take in up to 1,500 W over AC — a huge benefit during incoming severe weather events where emergency top-offs are needed quickly. It is also on-the-go compatible with solar recharging and vehicle input. With enough panels, EcoFlow estimates about a 3.5‑hour solar refill time, but how long things take in the real world depends on the weather and whether your panels are pointing directly at the sun.
It even has a road tripper’s 800 W alternator charging option to bring it up in about 2.1 hours as you drive. That’s the point — wall, sun, and vehicle all work, provided you’re not in a hurry.
Quiet, Safe, and Durable Design for Daily Reliability
The DELTA 3’s LiFePO4 chemistry is a win for durability. EcoFlow rates the pack for approximately 3,000 cycles to a capacity of 70%, which works out to about a decade of daily use for the bulk of households. That’s a significant improvement over many older designs that use nickel‑manganese‑cobalt, which tend to cycle fewer times before capacity degrades noticeably.
Noise is impressively low — around 35 dB at modest loads, roughly 45 dB up to around 1,200 W — library-quiet levels that won’t dominate a living room or RV cabin. Throw in some IP54 dust and splash protection and a multilayer battery management system, and you have a unit designed for real‑world knocks, heat, and continuous use.
Sub‑35 ms transfer time means an almost UPS-like handoff during grid blips. For reference, the ATX standard for PC power supplies specifies a hold‑up time of around 16 ms — so sensitive electronics such as routers and network‑attached storage will generally ride through short sags without shutting down.
A Price Per Watt‑Hour That’s Hard To Beat
At $589, for 1,536 Wh, you’re paying about $0.38 per watt‑hour — a great price in a market where $0.60–$1.00/Wh is still common for comparably specced models.
Equivalent models from Jackery and Bluetti in the 1–1.5 kWh range typically cost double that, if not more on paper — though promotional pricing does narrow the gap every now and again.
And if you do need more total power, EcoFlow’s expansion ecosystem can bring that capacity to around 5.5 kWh with compatible add-on batteries. That’s enough to bridge multi‑day outages with some energy management smarts — especially if it’s part of a system that includes a mid-sized solar array to slowly sip in power during daylight hours.
Who Are the Biggest Winners in the Deal Today
Homeowners and renters seeking outage insurance that doesn’t come with the fumes, noise, and maintenance of gas generators will find immediate value. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has long cautioned that portable fuel generators are a leading cause of carbon monoxide poisoning during disasters; battery stations eliminate that danger when brought indoors. RVers, van lifers, and photographers who need to juggle high‑draw gear will love the ability to use six of its AC outlets at once and recharge quickly in between shots or drives.
Since the US Energy Information Administration states that the average customer experiences a few hours of outages annually, and typically more in storm-heavy areas, compact storage like this is a way to have resilience without an entire home battery installation. And, at a manageable 36 pounds in weight, it’s easy to move from the garage to the living room or into a trailer.
Bottom Line: Should You Buy the EcoFlow Delta 3 Now?
High‑speed AC charging, a formidable 1,800 W output capability, silent running in use, and long‑life LiFePO4 cells all combine to make the EcoFlow DELTA 3 1500 an impressive power hub. The 41% discount makes the value proposition especially compelling — whether you’re preparing for grid hiccups or piecing together a robust off‑grid solution while leaving room to expand.
