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 $4500 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- Goal Zero Yeti 6000X holds 382% more energy (6071Wh vs 1260Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- Goal Zero Yeti 6000X has 200W more surge headroom (3500W vs 3300W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- EcoFlow DELTA 1300 is 75.1 lb lighter (30.9 lb vs 106 lb).
- EcoFlow DELTA 1300 is rated for 800 cycles vs 500 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
EcoFlow DELTA 1300
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
Goal Zero Yeti 6000X
A huge-capacity home unit whose weakness is the same as its siblings: NMC cells with a low cycle count, at a flagship price.
Best for: Large-capacity backup for infrequent, deep-discharge use.
Where it falls short:
- NMC — ~500 cycles
- 2,000W output is low for the capacity
- 106 lb, 2-year warranty
