Gunner’s take
Whole-Home Backup Tester
These two are twins on the spec sheet, right down to the inverter.
Both hold 3,072 Wh, both run 3,600 W and both surge to 7,200 WA1A2. The DELTA 4 (3000) weighs 57.3 lb and the HomePower 3000 weighs 59.5 lb. That's 2.2 lb apart, about a liter of water.
So the difference is in the parts a photo doesn't show.
EcoFlow rates the DELTA 4 (3000) for 6,000 cyclesA9, and our record carries 4,000 for the HomePower. A cycle is one full drain and refill. The EcoFlow's switchover is also rated no worse than 10 ms against 20 ms, and its best USB-C port gives 140 W against 100 W.
The Jackery's answer is price and timing.
It costs $300 less, and it's on sale now. EcoFlow put the DELTA 4 (3000) on sale on November 4 and ships it in early DecemberA10. For a box that waits in a closet for the next outage, I'd keep the money.
What the Numbers Reveal
Each conclusion stated first — the numbers behind it on one line, the full analysis below.
rated cycles
That only counts if you spend them. At two full cycles a week even the Jackery's rating runs 38.5 years, so a backup box that sees a few outages a year will retire for some other reason long before the count does. Cycle it daily off solar, at a cabin or an off-grid shed, and the gap becomes 16.4 years against 11. That's where the EcoFlow works out cheaper per lifetime kWh, $0.09 against $0.11.
DELTA 4 (3000): rated for 6,000 cyclesA9; HomePower 3000: 4,000 cyclesBoth hold 3,072 WhAt one cycle a day, 16.4 years against 11; at two a week, 57.7 years against 38.5
Why it mattersDaily solar users should pay for the DELTA 4 (3000); outage-only buyers would be paying for cycles they'll never reach.
A desktop PC is that load, because the touchiest PC power supplies sit right around 20 ms. The EcoFlow's rating leaves more margin. It still won't warn the PC: EcoFlow says the DELTA 4 doesn't support HIDA8, the USB signal a UPS uses to tell a computer to save and shut down.
DELTA 4 (3000): switchover rated no worse than 10 ms; no HID support, by EcoFlow's FAQA8HomePower 3000: rated no worse than 20 ms; one review measured it under 20 msB4USB-C: 140 W on the DELTA 4 (3000), 100 W on the HomePower 3000
Why it mattersIf a work desktop rides on it, the DELTA 4 (3000) is worth the extra; for a fridge and lights, the switchover settles nothing.
An RV cord plugs straight into the HomePower. On the DELTA 4 (3000) it needs an adapter to meet the twist-lockA3, and 12 V gear like a compressor cooler has no socket to use at all.
HomePower 3000: a 12 V car socket and an RV 30 A outlet in our record, plus two USB-A portsDELTA 4 (3000): no 12 V car socket; five AC outlets, one a 30 A twist-lockA3Both take 1,000 W of solar
Why it mattersIf it lives in a travel trailer or a van, the HomePower 3000 fits with fewer adapters.
The specific dimensions that decide these two units — everything else is a tie.
Lifetime Value
Selected because: Same 3,072 Wh, but 6,000 rated cycles against 4,000, so lifetime cost runs the opposite way to the price tag.
cost / lifetime kWh
Over a full rated life, the EcoFlow is the cheaper box to own. 6,000 cycles of 3,072 Wh is 18,432 kWh of rated throughput, against 12,288 kWh from the Jackery's 4,000. Spread each price across that and the page works out $0.09 per kWh against $0.11.
That sum assumes you use the cycles, and most backup boxes won't. At two full cycles a week the HomePower's rating lasts 38.5 years. A closet battery never collects on the EcoFlow's extra 2,000 cycles. A cabin battery refilling off the roof every afternoon does, and that's the buyer the DELTA 4 (3000) is cheaper for.
What the Specs Don't Tell You
Selected because: Switchover rated no worse than 10 ms against 20 ms, and two noise figures that aren't the same kind of number.
rated cycles
A desktop PC is the one load that splits these two. The DELTA 4 (3000) is rated to switch over in no worse than 10 ms and the HomePower in no worse than 20 ms. Both are ceilings, not measurements, though one review did clock the HomePower under 20 msB4. A router or a fridge won't notice either.
Don't pick on the noise figures. EcoFlow publishes a ceiling, 40 dB or less at up to 1,800 WA8. Jackery's figure in our record is a single number with no load attached. They aren't the same kind of number, so a light sleeper can't rank these two from the spec sheets.
Brand Trust
Selected because: With the hardware this close, the app and the store you buy from matter more than usual.
EcoFlow's app is the one I'd rather live in. It rates 4.6 on iOS and 4.2 on Android, and on the DELTA 4 (3000) it's where you set the wall charge rateA4. Jackery's apps sit between 2.3 and 3.3, split across two of them, and want a login even offline, which is an odd ask in a blackout.
Jackery's strength is the shelf. Costco, Home Depot, Best Buy and Amazon all carry it, and one reliability roundup credits Jackery with the lowest rate of reported failures among the major brandsB2. Both brands draw support complaints, so I'd buy either from a store with an easy return.
Your Life, Your Pick
Selected because: Identical batteries, so every scenario lands on the same percentage for both.
Every scenario reads the same on both, to the percent. Same 3,072 Wh, same derate, same answer. The eight-hour blackout uses 63% and leaves 966 Wh, and a camping weekend uses 80%.
Van Life Daily is the one row both fail, by the same 2,074 Wh. Neither has a battery portA6, so that kind of day calls for a bigger class of unit, not a closer look at this pair.

Conclusion
November 4, 2026
Verdict: the HomePower 3000
I'd buy the HomePower 3000, unless the battery will work every day. Both hold 3,072 Wh, both run 3,600 W with a 7,200 W surge, and they're 2.2 lb apart. The $300 the DELTA 4 (3000) costs on top buys a 6,000-cycle rating against 4,000, a switchover rated no worse than 10 ms against 20 ms and a 140 W USB-C port. Cycled daily, those extra cycles make the EcoFlow the cheaper box to own, $0.09 per lifetime kWh against $0.11. Used for a few outages a year, they never come due, and the Jackery is on sale now while EcoFlow ships the DELTA 4 (3000) in early DecemberA10.

Runtime model
Runtime = (rated capacity × 0.85 inverter efficiency) ÷ device wattage. Solar recharge estimates assume panels deliver 70% of rated output. Cold weather, battery age, and stacked loads reduce real-world results.
Power Score
Computed from 14 published spec dimensions, weighted per use-case bench. Higher is better; a unit must meet a bench's minimum threshold to be rated.
See the full weight table and data sourcing on our methodology page →Class ranking (the star rating)
Each unit's star score is a category ranking, not customer reviews — no buyer opinions feed it. We score every station on size-independent quality (value, output, portability, endurance, ports, warranty, and more), then percentile-rank it against the other units in its capacity class, so a class-leading compact unit and a class-leading whole-home unit can both earn 5★. Here, DELTA 3000 Gen4 rates 4.8/5 (86th percentile of 29 Large-class units), and HomePower 3000 rates 4.5/5 (71st percentile of 29 Large-class units).

Hidden gotchas and advantages we spotted that you won't find on the product page.
Rated Twice as Fast on the EcoFlow
The DELTA 4 (3000) is rated to switch over in no worse than 10 ms, the HomePower 3000 in no worse than 20 ms. A router or a fridge rides through either. A desktop PC with unsaved work is where the faster rating counts. Both are ratings, not lab results.
Warranty: No Difference
Both units carry the same 5-year warranty, so coverage isn't a tiebreaker here. Both figures are maximums rather than guarantees: EcoFlow's depends on registering the unit in the EcoFlow app, which adds two years to a three-year standard term; Jackery's on registering the unit with Jackery, which is what extends the base term to the full period.
6,000 Cycles Against 4,000
At one full cycle a day that's 16.4 years against 11. At two a week it's 57.7 years against 38.5, so the extra rating only pays off on a battery that works every day.

The HomePower 3000 is cheaper to buy, but the DELTA 3000 Gen4 is cheaper to own. At $0.09/kWh over its lifetime vs $0.11/kWh, the DELTA 3000 Gen4's higher cycle life and capacity make each dollar go further over the years.
Brand trust
EcoFlow
Ecosystem
Largest in portable power — 12-15 models across DELTA Pro, DELTA 3, and RIVER 3 series, plus solar panels and smart home panels
Support
US-based phone/email/chat support (1-800-368-8604). Experiences are polarized — many report hassle-free prepaid-label replacements, but others report long waits and refurbished units sent for new claims. Pro tip: buying from Costco or Amazon gives you a stronger return safety net.
Community
Largest community in the space — Reddit r/Ecoflow_community (~31K members), multiple Facebook groups, and an official community forum
App experience
Rated 4.6/5 iOS (~8,400 ratings) · 4.2/5 Android (~17,000 ratings)
Unique strength
Fastest-charging technology (X-Stream), deepest product ecosystem, and most active innovation cadence. At the top of the range sit two whole-home paths: the TITAN line, one 5 kWh unit that grows to 30 kWh, and the DELTA Pro Ultra platform, which stacks batteries and inverters further — flagship paths, not line-wide features.
Worth knowing
Tested subscription paywalls for advanced app features in early 2025 before community backlash paused the plan. No parts or service offered out of warranty.
Jackery
Ecosystem
12-15+ models across Explorer (portable) and HomePower (home backup) series, plus SolarSaga panel ecosystem and innovative form factors
Support
US-based support but widely criticized. Reddit reports describe slow/dismissive responses, scripted AI agents, strict receipt requirements for warranty claims, and refurbished replacements for clearly defective units. Strongly recommended: buy from Costco or Amazon for return protection.
Community
Smallest community of the major brands — Reddit r/Jackery has ~2,000 members. YouTube presence is solid due to brand recognition.
App experience
Rated 2.3-3.3/5 iOS and Android — the weakest app experience of the major brands. Multiple confusing apps (Jackery app vs Jackery Home) and mandatory login even offline.
Unique strength
Highest brand recognition and widest retail distribution (Costco, Home Depot, Best Buy, Amazon). The "Toyota" of power stations — dependable, proven, wide availability. Innovative form factors like the Solar Gazebo and Solar Mars Bot.
Worth knowing
A couple of older models still ship NMC chemistry with a shorter rated lifespan, so check the cycle rating on the specific unit — though most of the current line has moved to LFP. Generally perceived as overpriced for the specs offered compared to newer competitors. App experience is significantly behind rivals.
Analyst note
The app is the widest gap between these brands. EcoFlow's rates 4.6 on iOS and 4.2 on Android; Jackery's sit between 2.3 and 3.3 and want a login even offline. Jackery answers with reach: Costco, Home Depot, Best Buy and Amazon all carry it.

What Owners Report
Patterns from published owner reports and long-term reviews — every claim cited to its source below.
EcoFlow DELTA 3000 Gen4
Nobody in the US owns a DELTA 4 (3000) yet. EcoFlow put it on sale on November 4 and ships it in early DecemberA10, so this side of the page is EcoFlow's US store page and our own arithmeticA1A9.
I'd want to watch it charge on a real garage circuit. At its full 1,800 W it draws 15 A at 120 V, the whole rating of a 15 A circuitA4. Hypothetically, I'd plug it in beside a chest freezer on one garage circuit and wait for the compressor to start mid-charge. If the breaker goes, the fix is turning the charge rate down in the appA4.
“Capacity 3,072 Wh, LFP (LiFePO4) cells. EcoFlow sells it as the DELTA 3000 Gen4; buyers and the press call the pair the DELTA 4.”

Jackery HomePower 3000
Reviewers like it as a fridge battery. One test kept a standard refrigerator running for nearly two days and a 55-inch TV for around 30 hoursB4. EcoFlow claims up to 58 hours on a fridge for the DELTA 4 (3000)A12, and with the same battery I'd expect the same fridge to land in the same place on either.
Its cycle rating rests on thinner ground than its fridge record. Reviewers put the cells at roughly 4,000 cycles, though our research couldn't confirm that source describes this exact modelB3. One roundup credits Jackery with the lowest reported failure rate of the major brandsB2. Each is a single source, so I'd read them as reviews, not a pattern.
“Described as the world's lightest and smallest 3kWh power station thanks to an advanced cell-to-body (CTB) design — one person can carry it at around 60 lbs, and its compact 16.4-inch width fits spaces that reject rivals.”

“Uses LiFePO4 chemistry with strong thermal stability; Jackery and reviewers rate the cells at roughly 4,000 cycles — notably higher than the figure in some spec listings, so treat lower cycle numbers with caution.”

Who Should Buy Which
Buy the DELTA 3000 Gen4 if you…
- →It will cycle every day. A cabin or a shed living off 1,000 W of solar spends cycles, and this one is rated for 6,000 against 4,000.
- →A desktop PC sits on it. Switchover is rated no worse than 10 ms against 20 ms.
- →You charge a big laptop from USB-C. 140 W against 100 W.
- →You can wait until early December. That's when EcoFlow ships itA10.
Buy the HomePower 3000 if you…
- →It waits in a closet for outages. At two cycles a week its rating runs 38.5 years, so the EcoFlow's extra cycles buy nothing you'll use.
- →You need it before December. It's on sale now at $1,399, and EcoFlow ships the DELTA 4 (3000) in early DecemberA10.
- →It goes in an RV or a van. Our record gives it a 12 V car socket and an RV 30 A outlet, and the DELTA 4 (3000) has no car socketA3.
- →You'd rather keep the difference. $300 stays in your pocket for the same battery and the same inverter.
If neither fits
You need more than 3,072 Wh or a 240 V outlet. Neither takes an extra battery and neither has 240 V. For more battery, look at an expandable unit like the bigger DELTA 4; for a well pump or a dryer, a split-phase home backup unit.
The Bottom Line
Buy the HomePower 3000 for a backup that waits for outages. Same battery, same inverter, $300 less, and it's on sale now.
Buy the DELTA 4 (3000) if the battery will work every day. Its 6,000 rated cycles make it the cheaper one to own over its life, and a desktop PC gets the faster switchover. Being 2.2 lb lighter is a footnote.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers drawn from the spec record and cited owner research.
Do the DELTA 4 (3000) and HomePower 3000 have the same battery?
Yes. Both hold 3,072 Wh, and both are rated 3,600 W continuous with a 7,200 W surge. The DELTA 4 (3000) weighs 57.3 lb and the HomePower 3000 weighs 59.52 lb.
How much is the EcoFlow DELTA 4 (3000), and when does it ship?
EcoFlow lists it at $1,699 on its US store. It went on sale on November 4, 2026, and EcoFlow says it ships in early December. The HomePower 3000 sells for $1,399 and is on sale now.
Which battery lasts longer, the DELTA 4 (3000) or the HomePower 3000?
On paper, the DELTA 4 (3000). EcoFlow rates it for 6,000 cycles, and our record carries 4,000 for the HomePower 3000. At one full cycle a day that's 16.4 years against 11. At a few outages a year, neither gets close to its rating.
Which is better for keeping a desktop computer on during an outage?
The DELTA 4 (3000), on paper. Its switchover is rated no worse than 10 ms, against 20 ms for the HomePower 3000. Both are manufacturer ceilings, not measurements, and EcoFlow says the DELTA 4 doesn't support HID, so it can't signal a PC to shut down.
How long will they run a refrigerator?
About the same, since the batteries match. EcoFlow claims up to 58 hours on a fridge for the DELTA 4 (3000), and one review ran a standard fridge on the HomePower 3000 for nearly two days. Your own fridge's draw decides the real figure.
