EcoFlow DELTA 3 vs Allpowers R4000
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
EcoFlow DELTA 3 costs $1650 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- Allpowers R4000 holds 238% more energy (3456Wh vs 1024Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- Allpowers R4000 has 2400W more surge headroom (6000W vs 3600W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 is 77.3 lb lighter (28.7 lb vs 106 lb).
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 is rated for 4,000 cycles vs 3,500 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
EcoFlow DELTA 3
The 1kWh class got a serious upgrade here. 3600W surge at $649 beats the older DELTA 2 on every axis that matters.
Best for: Anyone about to buy a DELTA 2 — this is the same money for materially better specs.
Where it falls short:
- Still only 1024Wh
- Solar input unchanged at 500W
Allpowers R4000
A large expandable unit that undercuts the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 on price while matching its 4,000W output — the trade is a less established support network.
Best for: Whole-home backup buyers prioritising price per watt over brand.
Where it falls short:
- 106 lb
- Brand support and resale trail the big names
