EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max Plus vs Goal Zero Yeti 300
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 300 costs $1000 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max Plus holds 590% more energy (2048Wh vs 297Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max Plus has 5400W more surge headroom (6000W vs 600W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Goal Zero Yeti 300 is 43.6 lb lighter (13.7 lb vs 57.3 lb).
EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max Plus
Adds 600W of continuous output and doubles surge headroom over the standard Max, for $200. Worth it only if you're running heavy loads.
Best for: Workshops and job sites where tool startup surge is the constraint.
Where it falls short:
- $200 premium is wasted if your loads are under 2400W
- 57 lb
Goal Zero Yeti 300
Goal Zero's compact entry: rugged and IPX4-rated, but you pay a premium over similar-capacity rivals for the drop-and-splash toughness.
Best for: Overlanders and job sites where the unit gets wet and knocked around.
Where it falls short:
- 350W output runs devices, not appliances
- $299 for 297Wh is pricey per watt-hour
