The short answer
Jackery Explorer 240 v2 costs $450 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.

- EcoFlow DELTA 3 has 3000W more surge headroom (3600W vs 600W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Jackery Explorer 240 v2 is 21.0 lb lighter (7.7 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.

- Still only 1024Wh
- Solar input unchanged at 500W

- 300W output and one AC outlet
