EcoFlow vs BLUETTI power stations

Does BLUETTI undercut EcoFlow at 288 Wh?

Yes on the list price we checked, by about $9. Same 600 W continuous, both UPS under 10 ms, Elite about a pound lighter. The real fork is what the RIVER prints that the Elite does not: an add-on battery, solar up to 220 W against 200 W, and 3,000 cycles to 80%. The Elite leaves cycle life blank on our page — a blank is not a longer life.

A laptop and lights fit either box. Buy a second battery later and the RIVER 3 Plus is the one to open. Carry the lighter, cheaper box with no extra battery and it is the Elite 30 V2. For pounds alone, the lightest portable power stationsReviewLightest Portable Power Stations Worth BuyingStations light enough to pick up with one hand. A phone and a laptop are the load. This is not a weekend camping list, and the order is not weight alone. review ranks them by weight.

EcoFlow DELTA 3 or BLUETTI Elite 100 V2?

Same 1,024 Wh and 1,800 W continuous — a size that still has to come out of the car. The BLUETTI Elite 100 V2ModelBLUETTI Elite 100 V28.9 / 101,024 Wh · 1,800 W · 25.35 lb · 11.5 kg · $489.00 was $489 on 2026-10-30 — about $140 under the EcoFlow DELTA 3ModelEcoFlow DELTA 38.8 / 101,024 Wh · 1,800 W · 27.6 lb · 12.52 kg · $629.00 at $629 a day later — and prints solar up to 1,000 W against 500 W, at 25.35 lb against 27.6 lb. Both list UPS under 10 ms. DELTA 3 is the one that takes an add-on battery, and it prints 4,000 cycles to 80%; our Elite page shows a bare 4,000.

OutdoorGearLab usable AC sits close: about 870 Wh on the DELTA 3 and about 890 Wh on the Elite 100 V2. So usable energy is not the split. Price, solar input, and whether you will buy a second battery are. Brand pages sometimes finish the Elite’s 4,000 with a percent; our model page does not, so leave that percent unfinished here.

Is EcoFlow cheaper than BLUETTI near 2,000 Wh?

These stay on the floor for a power cut at home — fridge, router, lights. Yes on the list price we recorded. The EcoFlow DELTA 3 MaxModelEcoFlow DELTA 3 Max9.1 / 102,048 Wh · 2,400 W · 44.8 lb · 20.32 kg · $749.00 and the BLUETTI Elite 200 V2ModelBLUETTI Elite 200 V29.1 / 102,073.6 Wh · 2,600 W · 53.35 lb · 24.2 kg · $899.00 both sit near 2,050 Wh. DELTA 3 Max lists 2,400 W, 44.8 lb, UPS under 10 ms, and solar up to 500 W, at $749 (2026-10-31) — cycle life blank on our page. The Elite lists 2,600 W, 53.35 lb, solar up to 1,000 W, and 6,000+ cycles with no percent, at $899 (2026-10-30). You pay about $150 more and carry about nine more pounds for 200 W more continuous output and double the solar input.

UPS is unfinished on our Elite 200 V2 page (blank), while BLUETTI’s manual lists switchover ≤15 ms and DELTA 3 Max prints under 10 ms — missing data on our side, not “no UPS.” Neither of these two lists an add-on battery on our pages.

What should I check before I buy?

• Similar watt-hours. Put RIVER 3 Plus next to Elite 30 V2, or DELTA 3 next to Elite 100 V2 — not a 288 Wh box next to a 2,000 Wh unit.
• List price, solar input, and a second battery. BLUETTI often undercuts on price or prints more solar watts; EcoFlow often lists an add-on battery in the smaller pairs.
• Cycle percent and UPS time. Prefer a finish percent beside the cycle count. A blank on our page is missing data — not the same as “no.”
