EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max vs Growatt VITA 550
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
Growatt VITA 550 costs $1200 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max holds 281% more energy (2048Wh vs 538Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max has 3600W more surge headroom (4800W vs 1200W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Growatt VITA 550 is 32.4 lb lighter (17.6 lb vs 50 lb).
The surge sleeper. At 4800W it starts loads that stations twice its price can't — and most spec sheets bury that number behind the X-Boost figure.
Best for: Home backup where something with a compressor — fridge, freezer, window AC — has to start reliably.
Where it falls short:
- 50 lb is heavy for its capacity
- Marketing leads with the 3400W X-Boost number, which understates it
A tidy half-kWh unit with fast charging and a 1,200W surge that lets it start small appliances a 600W rating wouldn't suggest.
Best for: Campers who want fast charging and a bit of surge headroom at half a kWh.
Where it falls short:
- 538Wh is weekend-scale
- 3-year warranty
