Jackery, ECOFLOW, Goal Zero and ETC

Trying to decide which one to get..... I'm leaning towards the ECOFLOW.... Seems like most people are running jackery.

 

Bluetti have a few models around this level of capability.

 

I have the Jackery. Works fine. Friend ran her cpap on it for a full scout campout.

 

We have the Jackery/Honda 290 for my wife's cpap. Runs it for 5 days without recharge, DC with no heater. Happy with it after a year.

 

I’ve been running this debate in my head for quite some time.

 

I returned my Jackery 500 to get an Ecoflow River Pro. You can catch it for $430 occasionally on Costco's website. It charges from 0 to 80% charge in less than 2 hours when plugged into the wall which is super fast.

 

Ye, I'm leaning towards the jackery. Seem like the Jackery are just budget friendly power banks.

 

Jackery 300 w/100watt panel and so far fits my needs.

The best advice I can give you though is do your homework on the solar panels. Some of those are garbage.
Hobo tech on utube has excellent info.

 

In all my research EcoFLow seemed to be the best for charging speed and capacity, also seemed to use industry standard connectors while Jackery uses proprietary ones if i recall. I got the 600-ish watt and 100w solar panel and have been super happy so far.

 

I just got an inergy flex. Still haven’t taken it on a trip yet. (Still need a fridge, and solar panels. One thing at a time unfortunately)
Not sure what your budget is, but I ended up getting the inergy because you can add batteries for more storage if needed.

 

It depends on what you want to power, as in how many watts does is the appliance rated at and how long do you want to run it.

Personally I ran BougeRV power station, budget-wise, do their job.

Trying to make the same decision myself, glad I found this thread. Got the Bluetti, Ecoflow and Jackery all 700ish Wh on my Amazon wish list trying to decide, also kicking around the idea of going dual battery. My main use would be for a fridge that draws 3.7 amps.
Harbor Freight has a 20% off coupon that does not exclude Jackery.
Anybody use Harbor Freight solar panels?

 

Based on my research, Ecoflow is better than Jackery, Goal Zero, and Bluetti in every category. I'm thinking about getting one myself.

 

This thread finally pushed me to buy a power station lol...damn TW.
I went with the Ecoflow. The Ecoflow website beats Amazon by 50 bucks. Now I just need a solar panel

 

this is what i found as well.

Same here. Ordered an ecoflow delta yesterday.

FYI to anyone, the sale on ecoflows website ends tomorrow.

 

Smallest one is 880Wh, so it's a bit different of a size category than the smaller jackery units. That said, the ecoflow mini looks better than the jackery 1000, but they don't make anything in the 300 class and below.

 

Ecoflow River Mini : 210wh
Ecoflow River : 288wh
Ecoflow River Max : 576wh
Ecoflow River Pro : 720wh

 

Yeah just noticed the rivers. Not seeing a huge diff tbh.

 

Well, to compare the Ecoflow River Max vs Jackery 500, it cost less, produces more output, and and fully charges in 1.6 hours vs 7.6 hours for Jackery. If that's not a huge difference I don't know what is.

 

Based on output/$, I was leaning towards Ecoflow also (especially with the sale going on now bundling panels), but I took a hard u-turn when I looked at the charge cycles. Ecoflows are rated at 500-800 charge cycles versus 3500+ with competing units (Bluetti, Anker - the new 757 looks good). Difference is in the battery chemistry (NCM vs LiFePO4). Ecoflow uses NCM, which is great for rapid charging (0-80% in an hour), but suffers with charge cycles and longevity. For a quick charge back-up solution, I can see the Ecoflow making sense. If using as a backup solution in an overland use case that will regularly cycle/replen, LiFePO4 seems to be the way to go. Curious to hear thoughts/experiences from others too.
