Which is better for running a fridge during an outage?

The EcoFlow Delta 3 Plus. Its 1,800W continuous output and 3,600W surge handle fridge startup, and its under-10ms UPS switchover keeps it running through brief outages. The Jackery's lower output is a poor fit for most full-size fridges.

The EcoFlow. Its LiFePO4 battery is rated for 4,000 cycles to 80% capacity. Jackery does not publish a cycle rating for the Explorer 1000 v2.

Is the EcoFlow worth the extra money?

Yes if you need high output, fast recharge, or expansion. At $719.00 versus $449.99 as of November 6, 2026, the gap buys roughly double the usable output and a much longer-lived battery.

Which is easier to carry?

The Jackery. The EcoFlow weighs 27.5 lb, which is a two-hand lift for most people. The Jackery is the lighter camping pick.

Can I charge either one with solar?

Yes. Both accept solar input. The EcoFlow also supports car, smart generator, and multi-charging, and reaches full charge in under 1.5 hours on AC.

Which is better for a small apartment backup?

The EcoFlow, because it can power a fridge, router, and lights at once and expand to 5kWh with extra batteries. The Jackery suits short outages with light loads only.
