EcoFlow DELTA Pro vs Growatt VITA 550
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
Growatt VITA 550 costs $2800 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- EcoFlow DELTA Pro holds 569% more energy (3600Wh vs 538Wh), 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.
- Growatt VITA 550 is 81.4 lb lighter (17.6 lb vs 99 lb).
- EcoFlow DELTA Pro is rated for 3,500 cycles vs 3,000 — 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
Growatt VITA 550
A tidy half-kWh unit with fast charging and a 1,200W surge that lets it start small appliances a 600W rating wouldn't suggest.
Best for: Campers who want fast charging and a bit of surge headroom at half a kWh.
Where it falls short:
- 538Wh is weekend-scale
- 3-year warranty
