EcoFlow DELTA 3 vs Anker 555 PowerHouse
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 $50 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 has 2100W more surge headroom (3600W vs 1500W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 is 1.2 lb lighter (28.7 lb vs 29.9 lb).
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 is rated for 4,000 cycles vs 3,000 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
We'd skip the Anker 555 PowerHouse in this matchup. It costs $50 more than the EcoFlow DELTA 3 while matching or trailing it on capacity, surge and cycle life — there's no spec here that justifies the premium.
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
A 1kWh unit whose 1,000W output and slow charging show its age — the newer, cheaper Anker C1000 beats it on nearly every axis.
Best for: Only worth it steeply discounted against the C1000.
Where it falls short:
- 1,500W surge is low
- 200W solar input and a slow 138-minute recharge
