Jackery Explorer 240 v2 costs $550 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus holds 300% more energy (1024Wh vs 256Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus has 3000W more surge headroom (3600W vs 600W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Jackery Explorer 240 v2 is 21.0 lb lighter (7.7 lb vs 28.7 lb).
EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus
