EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra vs DJI Power 1000
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
DJI Power 1000 costs $800 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra holds 200% more energy (3072Wh vs 1024Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra has 2800W more surge headroom (7200W vs 4400W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- DJI Power 1000 is 55.8 lb lighter (28 lb vs 83.8 lb).
3kWh with 7200W surge at $1799 — this is whole-home territory at a mid-range price. The catch is the 800W solar input.
Best for: Grid-tied home backup where you recharge from the wall, not the sun.
Where it falls short:
- 800W solar input is low for 3kWh — slow off-grid refills
- 83.8 lb
DJI's first power station is a genuinely strong 1kWh unit — 2,200W output and a 4,400W surge put it ahead of most rivals its size, though the ecosystem leans toward DJI's own drone and camera kit.
Best for: Content creators and drone operators already in the DJI ecosystem.
Where it falls short:
- 400W solar input is modest
- Accessory ecosystem is DJI-centric
