greetings I'm Professor hobo and welcome to another hobo techos product review the masses have literally waited for years for a major brand to come out with an all-in-one power station that supports both 120 volt and 240 volt split phase power in a single unit for a true home backup solution after all you can't run most large electric appliances at home without 240 volt split phase service now there have been solutions for years on the market that require multiple units hooked together using fancy boxes but there's never been an all-in-one portable unit meaning it rolls on its own wheels with built-in split phase Outlets until now meet the ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra the industry's largest 7200 watt all-in-one solar generator they debuting today at CES in Las Vegas and as much as I despite the phrase that's used for everything from bubble gum of bicycles it actually appears to be a true game Cher in the industry but is it any good let's find out the ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra or what I'll call the dpu for the rest of this video comprises of two separate units you have the main 7200 Watt inverter head unit that does all the work it has all the connections on it and then you have the modular heated 6144 wat lithium iron phosphate battery units that store all the power now you can chain up to five of these batteries for a total of 30 KW hours of power through each dpu inverter and then with the right Hardware you can chain three of those together to power your entire house with a 21,600 watt Inver inverter and up to 90 kwatt hours of power now if you don't know how much 90 kwatt hours of power is that's enough to power the average American home for about 4 days without charging so if you're thinking this thing is no lightweight you're correct no matter what angle you look at it this is by far the biggest thing to ever come out of ecof flow's factory or any of their competitor's factories for that matter and that's going to bring us to the elephant in the room and that's the physical size of the new d pu the inverter section alone weighs in at about 72 lbs which in of itself isn't bad because you have to realize this houses a 7200 W split phase inverter sporting dual MPP controllers the 6.1 KW battery units however are a bulbous 116 lb each so what you see here on this table is actually a hefty 188 lb or well above the capacity of this motorized table and I'm afraid to bump it because it might collapse the dimensions for the inverter unit is 27 in Long by 19 in wide by 8 in high and then for the actual battery itself it's 26 in Long 18 in wide and 8 in high like all ecoflow products the screen is an industry-leading color LCD this one is a huge wide screen that tops at 9 in diagonal here's a clip from the manual that shows the insane amount of information that it displays of course you have the basic input output wats time to charge and discharge battery icon with percent display then I counted another 24 informational icons on the same screen as previously mentioned the dpu packs an amazing 7200 WT pure sign inverter but here's where it gets complicated see there are four standard 20 amp Outlets which are behind removable panels which I have removed for this video cuz I like to be able to show the outlet instead of just blank covers now these left two outlets actually use UPS pass through Power like most power stations and switch loads at under 20 milliseconds when the main power is disconnected the right two however use battery inverter power at all times this is called online ups and offers a 0 millisecond switching time because there's actually no switching involved now next to this is a 30 amp RV hookup otherwise known as a tt30r this is also 0 millisecond online ups and next to that is the coveted four-prong twist lock Outlet otherwise known as an l1430r that provides 240 volt split phase service using a standard 20 millisecond switching UPS relay now for those of you that don't know what 240 volt split phase service is basically doubling the 120 volt kit that you have in the wall to run 240 volt appliances and in this case you have four prongs one of them is a ground one of them a neutral and then there's two Hots each hot provides 120 volts at 60 HZ and those are out of phase with each other and if I'm going to get technical when the sine wave goes up on one it's down on the other and when you combine those together into one appliance that creates the 240 volts ac at 60 HZ and that means with a simple dog bone adapter you can in fact get an additional pair of UPS switching 120 volt circuits if you don't actually need 240 volts cuz not everybody does but this also means that if you have a 50 amp RV or a welder that needs split phase 240 volt power you can also buy adapters online that will convert from The four-prong Twist lock to whatever you need now on to charging which again isn't as simple as a typical Power Station of course you have the basic wall charging cable that it comes with which let you charge at 1800 WS up to 15 amps and will Top up a single battery like this in about 4 hours it can also charge from split phase 240 volt service either from household Outlet a fuel generator with an adapter and that's the adapter that I just showed you a minute ago this actually plugs into the unit this would plug into your 240 volt gas propane generator or you get this other dog bone adapter from ecoflow that allow you to charge from a level two EV charging station so yeah you can charge this with an EV station and both of those 240 volt methods will allow you to charge this at 3,000 Watts at 12/ 12 amps and that's going to cut the charging time down to about 2 hours and now on to solar which again is a little more complicated than the normal Power Station because the dpu supports a pair of mppt solar controllers but what is unique is that you have both a high voltage and a low voltage option so if your series parallel connecting a lot of large residential panels together you use the high voltage input on the side that accepts from 80 to 450 volts of solar up to 15 amps with a maximum of 4,000 watts of input now if you're using smaller panels you use the low voltage input right here on the front behind this little door that is supported by this cable that comes with the unit so you see it's mc4 on one side and it has the special adapter that plugs in here on the other side and this supports what they call low voltage which is from 30 volt to 150 volts again up to 15 amps with a maximum of 1,600 WTS and yes you can use both the low voltage and high voltage sides simultaneously for a combined total of 5 600 WT of solar now you saw this a few minutes ago you might wonder what this is what this does this is their 50 amp panel so it allows you to plug two of these units in together to make true 50 amp output for your RV so if you really need 50 amp service you can actually get two of these combine them together and get 50 amp service true 240 volt 50 amps this is an optional accessory that you can get along with the dpu now on to 12vt outputs you might have noticed something there's not a single SLE 12vt Outlet on this product so they have pulled a Tesla they have gotten rid of the cigarette lighter socket on the Delta Pro Ultra and that may bum some of you out but they do offer a 12vt 30 amp Anderson output that will allow you to power up to 360 Watts through DC actually they stat 376 watts is the official output but I wouldn't try to pull more than 360 from it now I'm going to guess that they assume that anyone's going to buy a product like this is not going to plug a 12volt refrigerator into it although you could just get an adapter that will convert that Anderson into cigarette later sockets if needed and this 30 amp output is designed to power an external fuse box or it could be wired into your RV or van to supply power to all your DC loads now what about usb now even though this is a monster product and they did skip out on that 12volt socket they didn't skip on the USB outputs you still get a pair of 100 W USBC power delivery outputs and a pair of basic fixed voltage usba a ports good for charging up your dinosaurs and as for other features the dpu of course supports remote access via the ecoflow app through both WiFi and Bluetooth which yes in fact can be turned off if desired now my dpu here on the desk does have optional wheels that I installed in order to make it easy to move around and you can also buy an optional trolley that has a luggage style handle that allows you to tilt this entire monstrosity like a dolly and move it around seeing this Duo weighs more than the average adult human it's not that easy to move around but it can be done making this the largest still technically portable solar generator money can buy today I did briefly mention the dpu batteries themselves are in fact heated they will preheat themselves for charging when the cell temperature drops below 32° F when the battery is attempting to charge at at least 250 WTS the heaters allow the batteries to charge all the way down to -4° F or -20 C in order to connect several dpus together and power your home you need What's called the smart home panel too this is the brains of the operation and allows you to decide which loads are critical and which must be powered at all times which ones can be cut when the batteries are under a certain percentage in order to save power you can even program it to store power automatically for 12 hours in advance of a big storm now the home panel 2 does require a permit and a licensed electrician to install in most residences it really deserves its own video so it's not something I'm going to cover today but I will in a separate review later down the line and as for the warranty on this product Eco flow does actually provide a 5year manufacturers warranty on both the inverter unit and the batteries and a 10-year warranty on the ecoflow smart home panel too and of course I took the ecoflow dpu here into my secret Laboratory where I performed all kinds of crazy experiments on it including yes let's do it together now a double fisted battery capacity [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] test [Music] [Applause] as for the results of the DC battery capacity test it scored exactly 5,000 wat hours out of 6144 for 81% and as for the results of the AC battery capacity test it scored 5390 wat hours out of 6144 for it improved roed 88% now these numbers are about industry average and on par with recent ecoflow offerings note that the DC test literally took 24 hours to run and because it took so long is why the DC numbers are lower than expected while the DC output does support 360 watts of output I can only pull about 225 constant over that 24-hour period without melting my wires so I just tuned it down a bit and let it run a little bit longer for that test I'm assuming most people running it are not going to run it at the maximum rate the entire time anyway so this gives you a more realistic result now of course I did do the Phantom load or parasitic drain test on this I did both tests for 12 hours this time the results for the DC consumption it used 232 wat hours over 12 hours or about 464 wat hours over a 24-hour period the results of the AC consumption test it used 634 wat hours over 12 hours or about 1268 wat hours over a 24-hour period so if you left the inverter on with nothing plugged in at all it would totally kill itself in about 4 and 1/2 days now I'm always asked how long stuff's going to run on these products so compensating for usable capacity you can pause this chart that I'm going to put up here on the screen to see approximately how long Common appliances will run on this unit pure sine wave check under load see doing 120 volts at 60 htz sine wave looks perfect in inverter capacity test and I just spent an entire 90 minutes setting this test up because I found out cuz I just found out you can't pull 7200 Watts from just the standard Outlets you got to pretty much use the 240 volt and I don't have any standard 240 volt loads just laying around here so I had to create one you got the two blue EDS doing 240 volts cuz they're charging at 120 each I got this little 1800 watt heater on the floor I got this other 1800 W heater on the floor and then I got a pair of ecoflow Delta Pros I'm only going to use one of these for this test so all I got to do now is hit the AC button and that will fire up you can see I've already used 20% of the battery just trying to get this thing set up but I do have it set up at 7200 Watts so let's see how much further we can push it from there now because eof flow decide to put the display on the top angled up that way it's really difficult to film without getting Reflections it's actually hard to film from this angle I have the camera up as high as I can get it so this is the best I can do okay we're at 7200 let's push it to 74 now we'll do 76 78 and 7900 watts and it shuts down so you get a good couple seconds at 7900 watts and then the inverter immediately resets assuming it's not a failure condition it still resets and tries again and it does this several times before I will finally give up and give you an error message if you're interested there's the sine wave okay I almost forgot to mention what is the limit when you're only plugged into the 20 amp outlets and the 30 amp RV hook up here it seems like when you push past 6,000 Watts the inverter will just shut down I was able to get like 6,200 a little bit but at 6,000 it just cut off and that's what ice say that that can't be right maybe I have to use the 240 volt hookup because a lot of times the way these inverters especially if you got a split phase the power has be split up like it's all not going to come out of one Outlet so I had all the outlets filled with heaters and stuff it didn't work so then I hook this up and now as you see we finally got the 7200 watts and then above that where before was just cutting off at 6,000 so just be aware if you're planning on not using the 240 volt Outlet on this and just the 120s that you're going to be pretty much capped around 6,000 wants now this might change in the final product this is a prototype it may change with firmware in the future but I have to tell you what I'm testing now as of the first week of January that 6,000 watts is the maximum for from the regular outlets and then if you start pulling from the 240 you can easily get the 7200 watts and Beyond this next test is the 5 minutes sustain cooling or heat soak test this is where we run it at a 7200 WT limit for at least 5 minutes to make sure it doesn't do anything dumb like forgetting to take out the trash on trash night leaving the car parked in a street sweeper zone or smoking smelling funny drinking carrying on we want to make sure that while we're running this thing it doesn't do anything it's not supposed to I know the reflections are horrible but here you go we're going to go ahead and do this there's the stopwatch I'm going to go ahead and start at 7200 WTS and we'll be back in 5 minutes and see if it passes okay we only made it about 2 minutes and it shut off in fact it shut off twice and so 7200 watts is not something long-term sustainable at least on the Prototype I'm going to go ahead and knock it down to 7,000 watts and we'll see if it uh can handle that okay there we are 7,000 Watts the clock is running we'll be back and see what happens all right I've done several other tests I can't get it to do sustain at 6,800 now I'm down to 6600 keep shutting off within a minute or two my tablet fell off the top on the concrete so this is it's already cost me 350 bucks I'm going to keep going down until finally it's going to give me some wattage that it's going to run at without conking out now I don't know if it's because I'm running solar generators on the 240 I pulled the Delta Pros off thinking maybe cuz I've had issues in the past where if I'm pulling 5,000 Watts on something the Delta Pros will start relaying and acting all weird so I got a hair dryer now two heaters and these are mostly all resistive load there's no reason why they shouldn't work I'm not running compressors or electric motors let's try this again I'm going to back it down to 6600 and see if we can get it to go there here we are at 6600 here's the sine wave sine wave looks all right I got my busted Tablet running the uh timer I probably won't even make it a minute but we'll see nope we made it we made it 2 minutes at 6600 and it shut off I'm going to try it at 6,400 again see the side wave looks fun so the inverter doesn't seem to make it stressed we're at 6350 uhoh we let it run I'm running out of battery we just passed the 3 minute Mark at 6,400 Watts 6350 I should call it it hits 6,400 there and there but I've never made it this far yet Hallelujah we made it to 5 minutes at 6400 Watts so there you have it 6400 watts is the best that I can pull for 5 minutes now here's something now I've read through all the documentation um I didn't see anything like this mention but it's a total possibility that 7200 WS is only with two or more batteries cuz I know blue Eddie is kind of like this way like there's a limit on how fast you can charge them or how fast you can discharge their biggest ones if you only have one battery hooked up and that might be the case here I didn't see anything like that in the user documentation then again I may have just missed it and if that's the case I apologize in advance they only gave me one battery so I'm only going to be able to do what this thing can do with one battery whether that's 6,400 Watts or whether this is a problem with the dpu um I won't know until this video comes out and ecoflow reviews it and gives a reason why it's only pulling 6,400 Watts instead of 7200 uh maybe they'll say it's cuz it's a prototype or maybe they'll say it needs a firmware update maybe they'll say it needs a second battery I can't tell you but right now our result is 6,400 Watts maximum out of this and that's using all the outlets 240 Vols everything nothing else I can do so just how loud is the dpu I'm running at 3600 watts and you can't even hear the thing uh I know fans are running because if you stick your hand up here you'll feel the heat coming out of the back but they're spinning so slow that I can barely hear it over the background noise coming from the other room so let's go ahead and see from a meter away 42 DB that is as whisper quiet as it gets this thing is dead silent at 3,000 Watts now I know that running at full blast the fans kick on but in order for me to run that load I can't hear anything in the room cuz I got hair dryers and heaters running so we're just going to do the test at 3,000 wats which I think most people aren't going to be running this thing in its maximum capacity all the time anyway 3,000 wats is a lot of power to pulling out of here and it being dead silent so that's a great job by eof flow okay it seems like I get this comment in every video does this actually keep the AC power on after you kill the battery and it restarts with solar or AC or whatever yes see this option right here AC always on you can flip that and then the thing will actually stay on all the time I'm also showing my firmware version this is the firmware version I'm using now during my testing so if in the future they have a firmware update and somebody comes back to this video and says well it's 2025 and now there it's an 8,000 watt inverter well I want to show you that's the version that I had when I did this testing again this is a prototype all this plastic is basically crap because it's a prototype this is not a production model that's that all right let's start with AC charging it does come with an AC charging cable that is good for 120 volts at 15 amps so it'll do 1,800 Watts now that can be adjusted from 5 to 1800 through the app so you can see right there I have it set on 1800 watts it can go all the way down the 500 and if you have the home panel hooked up it can actually transfer up to 7200 Watts I know it's hard to see that says 1730 Watts or so and like all the other big eof flow products there's a switch here that you can flip and it automatically switches between fast and slow charging I leave it on slow charging mode because slow charging mode allows you to vary it within the app you put on fast charge it overrides the app now remember what I said before this has two mppts so you have a low voltage one in the front and you have a high voltage one in the side now I'm not going to be able to test fully test the high voltage one because that takes like 4,000 watts and this can only do 3,000 so I'm going to be limited Again by my equipment but we can fully test the low voltage side so says right here on the door 30 to 150 volts Max 15 amps so there you go this is the lowest lowest end voltage that you can apply and you can get up to 428 Watts let's go ahead and increase the voltage and see how it increases the power so let's take it up to 48 volts which would be if you had a 48 volt system a 48 volt battery you wanted to charge from again it is bouncing off the 15 amp wall and we're now charging at 693 or round up to 700 Watts let's continue to 60 volts which might be a system you might want to set up at 60 volts 60 volts is still pulling 15 amps for now 870 watts of solar okay there's the upper limit of the low voltage solar so now it caps it at around 11 amps and we're charging at 1580 W that sounds about right that sounds about the maximum limit for this input there we go so pretty much at 155 156 it kind of cuts you off and says hey you know you're above the 150 Volt range I'm going to take this back down to a safe voltage because voltag is that high even DC can kill and you also don't want to create Sparks when you plug and unplug things now because the dpu does support such high voltages there's actually a physical big clicker knob on the side that you can turn and watch this that actually disconnects the solar so it allows you to plug and unplug high voltage solar arrays and then you just flip the switch it's a mechanical switch you can feel it's got a big spring in it and then it'll start charging again says a little picture the switch and it says caution make sure you turn the switch on after so the voltage from the high side is 80 to 450 volts so 450 volts is again you have to be super careful when you're dealing with anything over 60 volts and then you have a switch here so once you got your solar hooked up you plug it into the high voltage side and then you flip the switch now I'm not expecting to see anything because it says 80 volts is the minimum so let's take it up to the minimum 80 volts and 80 volts is very easy to conin with just a couple of regular 3 or 400 W solar panels so it's pretty easy to hit the minimum and interestingly enough there we go 80 volts at 15 amps we're already charging at 1231 Watts I can actually Max this out completely and I'm just going to go ahead and go right for the Gusto I've never had the chance to Max the voltage out on this in a for a solar generator but let's do it 220 volts is as high as this goes DC o that's making a buzzy noise but it's handling it so far oh I actually overloaded my eco flow boy okay I didn't think that was going to happen that's a 3600 WT inverter I had this plugged into the ecoflow Delta Pro which is a 3600 watt inverter and it overloaded that inverter all right we're going to have to go a little easier then because it obviously was way too much let's try sticking to 200 volts all right 3,000 Watts that's about as far as I can push it because I don't have a power supply that could go any higher so there we go we haded 3,000 Watts there for a few seconds that's going to have to do okay because I have limitations on how much power I can pull from things and limitations on my equipment this thing can only do 3,000 Watts total and that's pretty much what we're getting in here before it trips the Delta Pro we're able to prove we can at least put 220 volts in and get 3,000 Watts out of this that's that's not even an issue it seems like it can take that and continue going of course your next question is going to be this has two controllers can you use them both the same time can you put solar in the low and the high yes you can I'm not going to spend the time to show you this can be done because it requires setting up more Chargers and things and and really this video is going to be way too long so it does say here in the user man I have the digital version I have the latest version that you can put 4,000 watts in on the high side and then it says 1,600 Watts on the low side so that's pretty much what we've seen looks like this is working as planned for the solar inputs now you can also simultaneously charge you're charger from AC and solar at the same time uh I guess we can try that briefly and see what happens I got the fake solar running and we got wall charger power at the same time for 4600 wats of charging and of course the inverter just died again that's okay we got our testing done we figured out uh what we can do with this thing the dpu has no cigarette lighter output it has no Barrel plug outputs in fact it only has a single Anderson 30 amp 12volt output if you want a power 12vt device devices you're going to need adapters and stuff so I actually have this plugged into a meter to determine what voltage it runs at and I am running it into 1,000 watt inverter and running this little heater on low right now at 150 watts it's pulling about 180 from this Anderson now I can put this on high but it overloads the port but I can show you will briefly handle 360 Watts okay there it is I'm going to put on high you're going to hear the inverter flip out now if you're concerned about the output of this port I did do the whole DC capacity test time lapse from this so there's no point in me going through all that again it obviously works it works right so this passes the test and what does the 12volt regulated output run at 12.7 volts if you can see up there in the far left hand corner under this little hidden panel here is a pair of 100 wat USB power delivery outputs this monstrosity of course cannot be charged by USB but it can output 200 Watts from USBC I'm sending 100 watts each into these power bends you can see here it's pulling 200 Watts 200 Watts there 91 and 93 now the dpu is a unique product in that it has essentially two different kinds of UPS or uninterruptible power supplies built into it let me explain so essentially these two right-hand sockets and the 30 amp socket are what's on a online UPS this means as long as the inverter is on it's pulling power from the battery to power these Outlets that means there is a 0 millisecond switching time doesn't matter what equipment you have plugged into these three Outlets they will stay on now I'm going to go ahead and demonstrate this anyway even though it's a kind of a waste of time but I need to show you that there is no switch over time and of course the laptop is going to stay on no problem cu the laptop is actually plugged into the online ups and the oscilloscope is also plugged in to the outlet for the online UPS so all I have to do is hit this little switch here and it will shut the power off from the wall or from the grid and absolutely nothing should happen so let's go ahead and try it 3 2 1 the only thing we notice is that the sine wave changed you can barely notice any difference so that's the way it should be that's an online UPS so now I'm going to unplug everything reboot the computer and put it in the backup UPS this is the standard 20 millisecond ups that you expect from most solar generators okay we're back we now have the laptop and the oscilloscope plugged into the backup that's what they call UPS system now this actually has a switching relay in it and these two outlets and the 240 volt are all on this backup UPS relay that means that currently Power is coming in from the wall by passing the battery going directly to those three Outlets so I'm essentially getting grid power to my devices so it's not using the battery Now That's essential because if it's not using the battery it's not going to wear the battery out over years and years and years of it sitting there running UPS mode this is why most solar generators have at least nowadays A switching UPS system in it or what they call an offline ups and they call it a backup UPS that's fine it all means the same thing so these three Outlets have a 20 millisecond switching time so that means when I turn the power off it has 20 milliseconds to switch the internal inverter on to power the loads before they obviously would go out now on a computer it would crash or go out and I'll show you I have the oscilloscope on and I'm going to go ahead and do this test for the first time never done this before so I'm I'm pretty sure it's going to work so anyway let's do it three two one yeah it no difference whatsoever uh I'm going to watch the wave form this time from the oscilloscope and see if there's any difference whenever the relay switches is over you see a little spike in there but yeah it doesn't change at all I mean this this switch is over very quickly in fact it's probably much faster than 20 milliseconds so anyway the UPS system on this works just fine both online and backup UPS all right AM radio interference test let's go ahead and run this past with the inverter on now everything is off right now AC now DC actually not too bad amp interference test this is where we determine how much noise comes out of the inverter is it good enough for a power amp or a PA system let's find [Music] out and like you expect it's perfectly clean as it should be on a product of this caliber last but not least the electric fields and electromagnetic interference test so we're going to go ahead and the machine is turned off we got a base reading so you can see with the machine turned off we have a very low base reading only a two on the EMF and nothing on the EF meter so so on the left is the electric Fields meter and on the right is the electromagnetic fields meter so you can see right now we have pretty much one which is very low seeing in the Next Room I have a bunch of electronics running so I'm going to go and turn the unit on we'll see we should see some kind of Spike oh there we go way off the meter there wow wow electromagnetic interference already kind of high all right let's try the DC that didn't seem to change too much we are in the oh we are now in the 50s let's try the AC inverter didn't seem to make too much of a difference so you can see we are getting some electric Fields finally and electromagnetic fields of course is increasing as we get to the one side here the unit so the inverter on this is actually pretty clean DC dropped it quite a bit when I turned turn the DC off and if I turn the unit off completely we should have more of a base rating there we go we're going back down to normal so there you go not too bad on the EF and EMF so what do I think about the ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra I think ecoflow actually has a real winner on their hands here the dpu is finally the solution that most folks want that have big Power needs and the fact they still were able to make this thing portable with the add-on dolly is just icing on the cake this is something not even the competition can do with their largest solar generators sure you can push them around on a cart but they just don't offer that custom Snap-on Dolly system like the dpu and I like the fact that it's optional if you don't need it you can just put the wheels on rule it around like this you could still stack at five batteries high on these wheels 240 volt split phase operation works like a charm and it is seamless with standard 120 volt service the only catch is that you lose output to all the AC Outlets when you're charging this from 240 volts this is a non-issue if you charge from solar or 120 volts is just be aware if you do decide to charge this at the high speeed 3,000 Watts using 240 volt split phase you can't use these Outlets they just get shut off ecoflow claims it's going to start up and literally run any electric Home Appliance including a 3 ton central air unit now I obviously don't have the means to test this claim I just have a bunch of mini splits in different buildings on my property so I don't have like one giant central air unit to test however it certainly could handle anything that I could throw at it I literally had like multiple heaters multiple slow I was like throwing everything I could at it just to try to Max it out so yeah it it's very powerful so when I do do my follow-up video in the spring with the smart home panel 2 I'll show it powering my entire lab here including my mini split unfortunately I didn't realize until after I received this product that it was a Yap and that means yet another prototype I've been trying really hard to avoid prototype products for some obvious reasons one of them being they always end up failing somehow and then I end up having to do a follow-up video later with the retail product and that takes away a valuable spot that could have been used for another new product however this is ecoflow and I'm going to cover all their new products this year at least it wasn't another Kickstarter I know everyone's tired of Kickstarter in Indie go go so I'm not doing those either I know everyone sick of them now that being said I don't want to toot my own horn but I was right again about prototypes I'm not sure what's wrong with this one but not being able to sustain over 6,400 Watts for more than a few minutes is a problem is this a prototype thing most likely will it be fixed that's pretty much guaranteed in fact the app I had to use to access this is a Beta app with a lot of stuff in it's still missing so that's why I didn't bother showing the app or covering it in this video what's the point it's beta so we might see some better numbers in the future from the AC inverter when it's updated to retail and I'm going to bet you credit the navy beans that ecoflow will be sending me an updated unit sometime after release which means yep another video I do have to say as it sits today on my bench it is an excellent product and I'd have no problem spending my own money on one of these if I was in the market for it speak speaking of money this is obviously not a cheap product and it has pricing to match unfortunately as of the time of this recording ecoflow is really keeping the retail price Under Wraps however they did offer viewers of hobotech that's you a $1,000 off discount code that starts working as soon as you see this video air and I believe this discount is on top of any other coupons that you order the fact they're offering a $1,000 off and ecoflow is known for selling around 80 cents per watt means we can expect pricing somewhere in the $5,000 range give or take of course I'm just talking out my bung hole I have no inside information to offer you note that my discount code is only good until February 9th so you'll want to act fast if you're interested also note they're offering a free gift worth 400 bucks if you buy the dpu along with that smart home panel too along with that they're also offering interest free financing and free installation Consulting for customers in California and Texas not sure why you only get the free Consulting in those two states you'll have to ask them now this product is obviously aimed at the huge untapped home backup Market there are a lot of folks who want to have a home backup system but they can't afford the big stuff like Tesla power walls or given 40 Grand to their local contractor to build them a system Instead This is a simple plug-and-play entry that can get anyone started with a home backup solution that they can expand over the next several years ecoflow is well known for selling their old products well past obsolescence so I expect the dpu batteries to be available for many years allowing folks to upgrade over time the fact they offer you 5year financing and you can score up to 30% off from the federal tax rebate makes it a lot more affordable to the masses now I could see a select few getting the base dpu like you see here to power their RVs or Vans as this thing packs the power of nearly 500 amp hours of lithium batteries and this can easily run any size RV roof air conditioner and the microwave at the same time and still have power left over basically the use cases for this since it is a portable solution are endless with it being so expandable and future proof now think about this if you have a shop or a work job site that requires split phase 240 volt to run like a welder or compressor other large power tools with big startup loads the dpu can run right from the back of your truck and get that job done you can't say that about any other Power Station sold today and if this is being used for your business or to power essential medical devices it could be a big tax deduction for you too now what about solar I recommend getting as much solar as you can afford because this will take anything you can throw at it up to 5600 WT of course I recommend the panels that I have on my site hobot tech. TV if you're so inclined to check them out I'll put that link here at the bottom of the screen otherwise you can check out ecoflow site they of course sell 400 watt panels that pair perfectly fine with this as well so if you're interested in the dpu the link and discount code are going to be in the description of this video below I'm also going to put a link here at the bottom of the screen along with a QR code that you can scan if you're watching me on TV it'll take you on over to the ecoflow website where you can check out the Delta Pro Ultra and home panel 2 thanks for watching if you learned something today don't forget to give me that thumbs up below and if you're not a subscriber already you know what to do that's it for now till next [Music] time Odin commands you to like And subscribe and clean my litter box tell me how many lights you see this is your last chance for light
