The hoses on the WAVE 3 weren't long enough to reach my window, so I needed some elevation. A couple of EcoCrates did the job, but we wary of water leaks, which damaged the corner of the particle board of one EcoCrate.WAVE 3 works well even for a large bedroom during a hot summer.

Some Wave 3 accessories. The Velcro hand strap makes for easy one-handed moving, though I wish it could strap the add-on battery too. The shower kit collects the water to reuse for watering plants or spraying down solar panels.

When I first started out getting power stations for power outages, my motto was get another station not an Extra Battery. My reasoning is that one is none, two is one - in other words, if the power station goes on the fritz, the EB doesn't do any good. Additionally, for longer outages, one station can be charging (via solar, gas/propane generator or taking it somewhere that it can be charged via AC) while the other station is continuing with the power backup duties.Now that I have plenty of power stations, I have looked at extra batteries. About a month ago, I bought a Delta 3 EB because I had a screaming good coupon code that needed to be used or lost. Although when I received the D3 EB I had hooked it up to one of my D3+ stations and charged it, I haven't actually used the EB. This time of year I take more and more things off grid AC and use stations to power them, then solar charge each station as it is depleted. So, now I have taken my computer/wifi off the grid and use a D3+ to power them. It takes a little over two D3+ stations per day to keep the setup powered (so a bit over 2kwhs per day). Tuesday, I set up the D3+ with EB (which totals 2 kwhs) and Wednesday recharged by solar (setting up another D3+ to take over the powering duties). I usually have to keep a close eye on the D3+ stations while solar charging. I need to swap them out in a timely manner and charge another D3+ while there is still decent sun. Instead, with the D3+/EB combo, I could let them just charge up without worrying about switching out. Although this isn't th ehugest thing in the world, it does make things a bit easier in the long run. Sure, I could use one of my D2Ms to power my computer set up, but the D2M has a larger footprint, so won't fit on my desk nicely (and under it is a no go). Plus, the D2Ms have other jobs.I still stand by my motto of getting another station as to an EB to start with, but once you have a backup for your backup, an EB can certainly fill the bill.

Received my EF RAPID Mag charger for iPhone, Apple Watch, and Apple AirPod Pros. I like how the MagSafe can hold your iPhone in landscape and portrait. So far it’s been awesome as a one stop show to charge three of my most used devices. It also comes with a 40w charging brick which is a nice touch.

I still need to buy the TRAIL 300 Plus, but I have 5 of the TRAIL 200/300s. They are excellent little units for remote work at cafes or camping.There's always a shortage of outlets in public spaces, so if I need extended power, I bring along one or two to share with a friend. We can get hours and hours of work done, powering our USB-C laptops and mini PC. It even provides power to my portable monitors.

I love the bag for the WAVE 3 air conditioner/heat pump...reminds me of an astronaut suit. Because of the low energy draw of the WAVE 3, it's perfect for cooling a guest bedroom instead of cooling the whole house with the power-hungry central HVAC.The dual-hose design allows for more efficient cooling. So many different modes from low to powerful.The bag fits almost all the accessories, but not the external battery that sits below the WAVE 3 main unit.

If you know me, I'm a bit of a prepper who likes redundancy for when things hit the fan. I live in California, and the fear of earthquakes and the eventual "big one" is always on my mind. How else can I prepare for a prolonged outage? I've got rooftop that won't work when the grid is down.... booo! So had to buy other panels, rigid and portable, for a second non-grid tied array. I've got a dual fuel generator with multiple propane tanks, for those extra long outages. Also have a couple LFP batteries plugged into an alternator charger. Now my newest way to charge up! Courtesy of my wife's new Ioniq 9, vehicle to load. I tried it today and was able to get 800w into my Delta 3+ that was recently used for a planned outage. This is perhaps the easiest and fastest solution for charging up during an emergency or outage. Diversify your charging capabilities for those future emergencies!

Hello. I am new here. I just placed an order for the Delta 3 Plus/ SG 3000 Combo. I'm excited to recieve it. I have the Delta 3 Classic and am ok with it. Different stations doing different jobs. Thanks.

Glad to be here.

We live in a rural town, so the electric is pretty stable, but we're surrounded by hills and woods, so when we get a wind storm, we can be out for a day or so, as it was from a storm yesterday. During the "super storm" in 2012 we were out for a week!We have propane cooking, mostly it's radiant oil heat and DHW, a chest freezer and the fridge. We really don't need much AC power, we can run our charging, internet and phone laptop charging on 12v DC.I'm planning to add another Delta Plus for home. I'll keep it in the basement, purchase the 3000 smart gen, which I'll keep in the garage to pull out when needed. We have a large propane tank for cooking with a spare connection we can use when we need it, so fuel is indefinite.I plan to use the 12v output and Power Over Ethernet to move up to 60 to 100 watts over existing ethernet cable to bedrooms, where I can provide USB charging for phones and laptops, and an led light for safety. In the basement, I'll also use the 12v to power our fiber internet drop wifi, and a low power home server.On the I'll install a disconnect. and manually connect the AC ton our oil Heat for AC power, run it enough to keep the house minimally warm. That would require about 8 or amps for the blower (a lot of it on ignition), plus a few circulators, I'd say under 15 amps. Running it an hour or two a few times a day should be enough to keep the house reasonable.We can fire up the gen or use the smart start feature, we should be able to hunker down for quite a while if necessary. Unfortunately, we have a heavily wooded property, solar isn't really feasible.Any thoughts?All of this is

It started with the OG Delta 1300, which I needed to power my laptop at Starbucks, where outlets were always unavailable.That quickly evolved into another Delta 1300, which morphed into an obsession. Now I have Delta 3 Max, Delta 3 Ultra, Delta Pro 3, Delta Pro Ultra, and Delta Pro Ultra X. Some family members couldn't make it to the shoot.Whether I'm bringing the smaller units camping or using the macho units to power my entire home through the SHP2, EcoFlow powers my life.I love shaving off peak hour bills, gathering solar, and obsessively watching my real-time usage per circuit. It's helped me identify energy offenders and cut their usage dramatically.

I dragged my DPU-X up to my second story office for this photoshoot. Okay, it's not directly powering my office devices (that's what my Delta 3 Air 1000 is doing, hidden behind the DPU-X).But I love how my entire whole home backup powers 95% of my home. Using 8 DPU batteries and 2 DPUs attached to my SHP2, all my major home circuits are powered by EcoFlow. If the SHP2 had space for a few more breakers, it would have been 100%.

This is my home power backup system in case of a power outage. 4kWh

We have a scheduled outage at our home later tonight. I haven't gotten a DPU and smart panel yet, so I have to manually deploy my power stations to where they need to be. The outage is estimated to last 8 hours, so my Delta 3+ will keep my fridge running while my Delta Air will keep my internet and entertainment center powered. It really is a good feeling to be prepared and not have to break out my gas generator.

One of the most annoying things to happen is to have my computer cut off when the electrical grid goes haywire. That's why I installed a Delta 3 Air 1000 to serve as a <10ms UPS. Whether it's voltage fluctuations or a failed transition between battery and grid power, the UPS feature has kept my computer and lights on without fail. It's saved me a few times in the middle of a video call with clients. The rest of my house flickered for a moment, but my office stayed solid, no interruption. The client couldn't even tell.And with nearly 1 kwh of capacity, even a prolonged outage is no problem. The capacity can endure for numerous hours, and with 500w solar input, it could last indefinitely.I'll admit the location of the office makes it hard to run solar to the Delta Air though. Regardless, the UPS feature has been great!

I've found the River series to work as a great alternative to a conventional ups for computers and servers having a dramatically longer battery backup and comparable 10 millisecond switchover for a very similar cost per unit

I have been using the Delta Air 1000 to back up my modem, router, tv, apple tv, switch, and Philips Hue Bridge. It has functioned great! It will last a couple of hours but it will also allow me to plug it into a larger unit without any down time.

During a power outage, I always use my Delta 2 Max. All the lights in the house come back on!

One way I cut electricity costs in my house is by using portable power stations in my grandkids’ rooms.My granddaughter runs her entertainment center on a Delta 3 Ultra. She games a lot more than my grandson, so it made sense to give her the bigger battery. The Delta 3 Ultra stores about 3 kWh of energy, so her TV, computer, lights, and gaming setup can run for many hours without pulling power from the grid.My grandson uses a Delta 2 with an extra battery, and when he heads downstairs to play games, he just grabs the River 2 Pro and keeps going.Both rooms are powered by two 380W solar panels, so during the day the batteries recharge from the sun instead of the electric company.And the best part, 
If the power goes out, nothing changes for them.The TV, computer, lights — everything in the room still works. It’s basically a giant battery keeping the room powered so they’re not sitting in the dark waiting for the grid to come back.Whether I’m cutting electricity costs or dealing with an outage, my grandkids room stays powered. ⚡
