EcoFlow DELTA 1300 vs Goal Zero Yeti 200X
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
Goal Zero Yeti 200X costs $700 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA 1300 holds 574% more energy (1260Wh vs 187Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- EcoFlow DELTA 1300 has 3100W more surge headroom (3300W vs 200W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Goal Zero Yeti 200X is 25.9 lb lighter (5 lb vs 30.9 lb).
- EcoFlow DELTA 1300 is rated for 800 cycles vs 500 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
Neither of these will start a sump pump or well pump — both surge below the ~3,400W those motors need. If home backup with pumps is your use case, look at higher-surge models instead of either of these.
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
A tiny, well-built unit for USB devices and small electronics. The 120W AC inverter and Li-ion cells make it a charger, not a power station.
Best for: Ultralight trips charging phones, cameras and a small laptop.
Where it falls short:
- 120W AC output runs almost nothing with a plug
- ~500 cycles, 2-year warranty
