EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max 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 $300 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max holds 203% more energy (2048Wh vs 677Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max has 3800W more surge headroom (4800W vs 1000W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Goal Zero Yeti 700 is 34.8 lb lighter (20.3 lb vs 55.1 lb).
EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max
The value leader in the 2kWh class. Same 4800W surge as the DELTA 2 Max at $500 less, with 1000 more cycles.
Best for: Home backup buyers who want compressor-starting surge without paying flagship prices.
Where it falls short:
- 55 lb is a two-hand lift
- Only marginally lighter than heavier rivals
Goal Zero Yeti 700
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
