EcoFlow DELTA 2 vs Goal Zero Yeti 700
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 700 costs $100 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA 2 holds 51% more energy (1024Wh vs 677Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- EcoFlow DELTA 2 has 1200W more surge headroom (2200W vs 1000W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Goal Zero Yeti 700 is 6.7 lb lighter (20.3 lb vs 27 lb).
- Goal Zero Yeti 700 is rated for 4,000 cycles vs 3,000 — 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 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
The largest of the rugged compacts. Still not an appliance unit — 600W of output caps what it can drive — but a durable mid-size companion.
Best for: Rugged off-grid use where durability outranks running heavy loads.
Where it falls short:
- 600W output rules out compressors and heaters
- 20.3 lb is heavy for 677Wh
