EcoFlow DELTA 2 vs Anker 555 PowerHouse
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
Anker 555 PowerHouse costs $200 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA 2 has 700W more surge headroom (2200W vs 1500W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- EcoFlow DELTA 2 is 2.9 lb lighter (27 lb vs 29.9 lb).
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 value pick in the 1kWh class. Cheaper than the Anker C1000 with nearly identical capacity — but check the surge number before you buy.
Best for: Budget-conscious buyers running electronics and a fridge, with no motor-driven loads.
Where it falls short:
- X-Boost tops out at 2200W — the least surge headroom of any 1kWh unit we list
- 80-minute recharge is slower than Anker's 58
A 1kWh unit whose 1,000W output and slow charging show its age — the newer, cheaper Anker C1000 beats it on nearly every axis.
Best for: Only worth it steeply discounted against the C1000.
Where it falls short:
- 1,500W surge is low
- 200W solar input and a slow 138-minute recharge
