EcoFlow DELTA 3 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
EcoFlow DELTA 3 costs $350 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- DJI Power 1000 has 800W more surge headroom (4400W vs 3600W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- DJI Power 1000 is 0.7 lb lighter (28 lb vs 28.7 lb).
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
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
