Gunner’s take
Whole-Home Backup Tester
The DELTA 4 (3000) gives up nothing at the inverter.
It runs 3,600 W and surges to 7,200 W, exactly what the HomePower 3600 Plus doesA2. Both are rated for 6,000 cycles, and both switch over in no worse than 10 ms when the grid drops. The EcoFlow is 19.9 lb lighter, at 57.3 lb against 77.2 lbA7.
The Jackery's answer is more battery and a door to add more.
It holds 3,584 Wh to the DELTA 4's 3,072 Wh, and it takes Jackery's expansion batteries. EcoFlow left the battery port off this DELTA 4 entirelyA6, so 3,072 Wh is the ceiling for life.
The money splits them less than the sticker suggests.
EcoFlow lists the DELTA 4 (3000) at $1,699, and the Jackery sells for $1,899. Divide each by its battery and they cost nearly the same per watt-hour. The $200 you keep with the EcoFlow comes straight out of the battery.
What the Numbers Reveal
Each conclusion stated first — the numbers behind it on one line, the full analysis below.
Capacity
The $200 saving buys a smaller battery at the same price per watt-hour. The smaller one also stays that size for good. The Jackery can take more, so the extra money goes into something you can build on.
DELTA 4 (3000): 3,072 Wh at $1,699, no extra-battery portA1A6HomePower 3600 Plus: 3,584 Wh at $1,899, takes Jackery expansion batteriesCost per lifetime kWh: $0.09 for the DELTA 4, $0.09 for the Jackery, both on 6,000 rated cycles
Why it mattersIf your outages might get longer or your loads bigger, spend the extra on the Jackery rather than saving it.
weight
On a garage floor, wheels beat a lighter box. Into a hatchback or down to a tailgate, they stop helping, and game day barely dents either battery. Out of the house, the lift is the whole difference, and the DELTA 4 is the one I'd hoist into a trunk by myself.
DELTA 4 (3000): 57.3 lb, a handle at each end, folding cart sold separatelyA7HomePower 3600 Plus: 77.2 lb with built-in wheels and a pull handleB2Tailgate Party needs 670 Wh: the DELTA 4 uses 26% of its usable battery, the Jackery 22%
Why it mattersIf the station travels, the DELTA 4 (3000) earns its place. If it lives in the house, the Jackery's weight hardly costs you.
The first night doesn't separate them, so the calendar can. If the storm season you're buying for has already started, only one of these can be in the garage for it.
DELTA 4 (3000): EcoFlow ships it in early DecemberA10HomePower 3600 Plus: on sale now8-Hour Blackout uses 1,645 Wh: the DELTA 4 ends with 966 Wh left, the Jackery with 1,401 Wh
Why it mattersIf you need backup power this month, the Jackery is the one you can have.
The specific dimensions that decide these two units — everything else is a tie.
Growth Path
Selected because: The DELTA 4 (3000) is sealed at 3,072 Wh. The HomePower 3600 Plus starts at 3,584 Wh and takes Jackery's add-on batteries.
This is the real reason to spend more. EcoFlow kept the extra-battery port for the bigger DELTA 4 and left it off this oneA6. What you buy on day one is what you own for good. The HomePower 3600 Plus takes Jackery's expansion batteries and can grow toward backing up part of a house.
I'd only skip the port if I knew I'd never need it. A fridge, a furnace blower, the router and the lights through one night fit in 3,072 Wh with room left. The day you add a chest freezer or a second night without power, a sealed box means buying a second station.
Portability & Form Factor
Selected because: 57.3 lb with a handle at each end, against 77.2 lb that rolls.
weight
Wheels change what 77.2 lb means. Reviews single out the HomePower's built-in wheels and pull handle as what makes it manageableB2. Tip it back and it rolls across a garage floor like a suitcase. The DELTA 4 (3000) has a handle at each end and no wheels, and EcoFlow sells its folding cart separatelyA7.
Stairs and trunks go to the DELTA 4. Wheels quit at a bumper or a step. At 57.3 lb the EcoFlow is a one-person lift into a hatchback, and the Jackery is a lift I'd want help with.
Lifetime Value
Selected because: Both are rated for 6,000 cycles, so the cost to own a kilowatt-hour comes out level.
Over a full life, these two cost the same to own. Both carry a 6,000-cycle rating, and the page works out $0.09 per lifetime kWh for the DELTA 4 (3000) against $0.09 for the Jackery. With longevity level, the choice comes down to size and weight.
Neither will wear out before you're done with it. At one full charge a day, 6,000 cycles is 16.4 years. A backup box that waits for storms never gets near that, so I wouldn't let the cycle rating push this one either way.
Your Life, Your Pick
Selected because: Four of the six scenarios go to both. Weekend Camping goes to the Jackery on margin, and Van Life Daily is too much for either.
The first night doesn't split them. The 8-hour blackout uses 1,645 Wh. The DELTA 4 (3000) ends it with 966 Wh left and the Jackery with 1,401 Wh. A CPAP night, a remote workday and a tailgate fit in either with plenty to spare.
Weekend Camping is the one row the extra battery wins. The 2,100 Wh weekend leaves 511 Wh in the DELTA 4 and 946 Wh in the Jackery, and that cushion is what a cold second night eats. Van Life Daily needs 4,685 Wh and beats both, and only the Jackery can add a battery to close the gap.

HomePower 3600 Plus
Both cover the 2,100 Wh weekend. The Jackery finishes with 946 Wh left against 511 Wh, and that cushion is why it takes this one.

Either unit
Both survive the blackout with similar margin, and both list a UPS mode — compare their stated switchover classes, and remember those are manufacturer ratings, not measurements.
Battery budget usedlower = more headroom
LOAD Fridge 150W×8h · Router + Modem 20W×8h · LED Lights (4 bulbs) 40W×6h · Phone Charger 15W×3h
SCN-03 · 8 hours · needs 320Wh
CPAP Overnight
Sleep therapy without interruption — the #1 medical use case
Either unit
A CPAP is about 40W for eight hours, so both of these cover the night several times over — capacity isn't the question here. The only published difference is fan noise, and it can't settle this: the HomePower 3600 Plus is rated 30dB and the DELTA 3000 Gen4 40dB, but the HomePower 3600 Plus's is its maker's best case and the DELTA 3000 Gen4's is EcoFlow's maximum under heavy charge and discharge, so at a 40W draw the real gap can only be narrower than it looks, and may even run the other way. Neither settles which box is quieter at a bedside. Buy whichever is cheaper or easier to carry.
Battery budget usedlower = more headroom
LOAD CPAP Machine 40W×8h
SCN-04 · 8 hours · needs 910Wh
Remote Workday
Full work day off-grid without power anxiety
Either unit
Both power your workstation all day without strain. At these utilization levels the real difference is USB-C for direct laptop charging — 140W on the DELTA 3000 Gen4 against 100W — which beats the inverter for convenience and wastes less energy.

Conclusion
November 4, 2026
Verdict: the Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus
I'd buy the HomePower 3600 Plus for a house, unless the box has to be carried. The two share a 3,600 W inverter, a 7,200 W surge and a 6,000-cycle rating, so the difference is battery and weight. The Jackery holds 3,584 Wh against 3,072 Wh and takes Jackery's expansion batteries, while the DELTA 4 (3000) has no battery port at allA6. The DELTA 4 is $200 cheaper, but per watt-hour the two cost nearly the same, so the saving comes out of the battery. It also ships in early DecemberA10, and the Jackery is on sale now. If you'll lift it into a car or carry it up stairs, 57.3 lb against 77.2 lb flips the call to the DELTA 4.

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 3600 Plus rates 3.9/5 (38th percentile of 22 Home Backup-class units).

Hidden gotchas and advantages we spotted that you won't find on the product page.
Rolls Across the Floor, Not Into the Trunk
The HomePower 3600 Plus weighs 77.2 lb against 57.3 lb for the DELTA 4 (3000), and it has wheels and a pull handle. Across a garage floor it's the easier move. Into a trunk or up a step, the lighter box wins.
What You Buy Is the Ceiling
The DELTA 4 (3000) has no extra-battery port, so 3,072 Wh is all it will ever hold. Outgrow it and the upgrade is a second station. The HomePower 3600 Plus starts at 3,584 Wh and takes Jackery's add-on batteries.
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.

Analyst note
Both units cost the same to own over their rated lives — $0.09/kWh each. Lifetime cost can't separate them, so decide on the sticker price and everything else. One thing to know reading the table: both carry the same 6,000-cycle rating, so the lifetime rows are sticker price and capacity in disguise — the wear horizon is identical and decides nothing here.
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
EcoFlow's app is rated well above Jackery's, and Jackery's asks for a login even offline, which is a poor habit in a blackout when the internet is down too. Jackery's edge is shelf space at Costco, Home Depot, Best Buy and Amazon, and buying either brand from Costco or Amazon gives you the better return safety net.
Growth path

The DELTA 3000 Gen4 is sealed at 3,072Wh, which is fine if that covers you. The HomePower 3600 Plus starts at 3,584Wh and can grow beyond it with Jackery expansion batteries — real headroom the DELTA 3000 Gen4 doesn't have if your needs climb toward partial-home backup.
What Owners Report
Patterns from published owner reports and long-term reviews — every claim cited to its source below.
EcoFlow DELTA 3000 Gen4
Nobody owns a DELTA 4 (3000) yet. EcoFlow put it on sale on November 4 and ships it in early DecemberA10. Everything here comes from EcoFlow's US store page and our own arithmeticA2A4A6.
I'd want to test its wall charging on a real kitchen circuit. X-Stream pulls up to 1,800 W, which is 15 A at 120 V, the full rating of an ordinary 15 A circuitA4. Hypothetically, I'd run it at full rate on a circuit shared with a coffee maker, see whether the breaker holds, and then find the charge-rate setting EcoFlow says to turn down in its 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.”

Who Should Buy Which
Buy the DELTA 3000 Gen4 if you…
- →You'll lift it. 57.3 lb against 77.2 lb, into a car or up the basement stairs.
- →3,072 Wh covers your longest outage, and you're sure it always will.
- →You charge laptops straight off it. Its best USB-C port gives 140 W against 100 W.
- →You want the wall to refill it fast. X-Stream charging takes up to 1,800 WA4.
Buy the HomePower 3600 Plus if you…
- →It lives in the house. It rolls on its own wheelsB2, so the extra weight barely matters.
- →You might add batteries later. It takes Jackery's expansion packs, and the DELTA 4 (3000) takes none.
- →You need it before December. The Jackery is on sale now, and EcoFlow ships the DELTA 4 (3000) in early DecemberA10.
- →You'd rather buy watt-hours than save dollars. 512 Wh more battery at nearly the same price per watt-hour.
- →You have an RV. The Jackery has a 30 A RV outlet, while the DELTA 4's 30 A outlet is a twist-lockA3.
If neither fits
If all you need is a CPAP and a phone through the night, close this tab. A CPAP night uses 320 Wh, about an eighth of either one's usable battery. A much smaller station does that job for far less money and far less weight.
The Bottom Line
For a house, I'd buy the HomePower 3600 Plus. Same inverter, same cycle rating, 512 Wh more battery at nearly the same price per watt-hour, and a port to add more.
If it has to ride in a car or climb stairs, buy the DELTA 4 (3000). Twenty pounds is a real difference on a staircase, and the sealed battery is fine if you know it's enough.
