EcoFlow DELTA 1300 vs Goal Zero Yeti 1000X
Side-by-side on the specs that decide it — surge, capacity, runtime and price.
Both models' specs verified against manufacturer listings · Last updated
The short answer
EcoFlow DELTA 1300 costs $200 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA 1300 holds 28% more energy (1260Wh vs 983Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- EcoFlow DELTA 1300 has 300W more surge headroom (3300W vs 3000W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- EcoFlow DELTA 1300 is 0.8 lb lighter (30.9 lb vs 31.68 lb).
- EcoFlow DELTA 1300 is rated for 800 cycles vs 500 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
We'd skip the Goal Zero Yeti 1000X in this matchup. It costs $200 more than the EcoFlow DELTA 1300 while matching or trailing it on capacity, surge and cycle life — there's no spec here that justifies the premium.
The original DELTA that put EcoFlow on the map. Fast-charging and high-surge for its day, but the NMC battery and lack of USB-C now show its age.
Best for: Bargain hunters who find it heavily discounted.
Where it falls short:
- NMC — ~800 cycles
- No USB-C PD
- 2-year warranty
The older X-series 1kWh. Rugged and expandable, but its Li-ion cells and 2-year warranty look dated next to the LiFePO4 6th-gen Yeti 1000.
Best for: Only at a discount against the newer LiFePO4 Yeti 1000.
Where it falls short:
- NMC — ~500 cycles vs 4,000 for the new Yeti 1000
- 2-year warranty
