EcoFlow DELTA 3 vs Goal Zero Yeti 700
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 $150 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 holds 51% more energy (1024Wh vs 677Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- EcoFlow DELTA 3 has 2600W more surge headroom (3600W vs 1000W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Goal Zero Yeti 700 is 8.4 lb lighter (20.3 lb vs 28.7 lb).
We'd skip the Goal Zero Yeti 700 in this matchup. It costs $150 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
The largest of the rugged compacts. Still not an appliance unit — 600W of output caps what it can drive — but a durable mid-size companion.
Best for: Rugged off-grid use where durability outranks running heavy loads.
Where it falls short:
- 600W output rules out compressors and heaters
- 20.3 lb is heavy for 677Wh
