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
Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 costs $2900 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 holds 283% more energy (4096Wh vs 1070Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 has 5000W more surge headroom (8000W vs 3000W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 is 89.2 lb lighter (23.8 lb vs 113 lb).
EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3
The most complete large unit here. 4096Wh, 4000W, 8000W surge and 2600W of solar — it does everything the F3800 does with less weight.
Best for: Whole-home backup buyers who want maximum solar recharge speed.
Where it falls short:
- $3,699 is a serious investment
- Overkill unless you're backing up a whole home
Jackery Explorer 1000 v2
The lightest 1kWh unit here at 23.8 lb, with a 3000W surge that punches above the Anker and EcoFlow units it competes with.
Best for: Campers who want 1kWh but care about carrying weight and need surge headroom.
Where it falls short:
- Only 3 AC outlets
- Not expandable — what you buy is what you get
- 400W solar input trails the Anker C1000's 600W
