EcoFlow DELTA Pro vs Bluetti EB3A
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
Bluetti EB3A costs $2960 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA Pro holds 1243% more energy (3600Wh vs 268Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- EcoFlow DELTA Pro has 6000W more surge headroom (7200W vs 1200W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Bluetti EB3A is 88.9 lb lighter (10.1 lb vs 99 lb).
- EcoFlow DELTA Pro is rated for 3,500 cycles vs 2,500 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
EcoFlow DELTA Pro
The previous-generation flagship, now mostly worth buying on discount. The Pro 3 beats it on nearly every axis.
Best for: Bargain hunters who find it steeply discounted against the Pro 3.
Where it falls short:
- 99 lb and 165-minute recharge — both beaten by the Pro 3
- Aging platform; expect it to be phased out
Bluetti EB3A
The budget veteran. 268Wh at $239 with a 30-minute recharge — still one of the fastest-charging small units you can buy.
Best for: Budget campers who value fast top-ups between trips.
Where it falls short:
- 2500 cycles is the lowest here
- 268Wh empties fast under real load
