Jackery vs EcoFlow power stations

Does EcoFlow give more watts than Jackery at 288 Wh?

Yes on continuous watts in this pair. The RIVER 3 Plus doubles continuous watts (600 W vs 300 W) at nearly the same watt-hours. Both list UPS under 10 ms — the switchover claim when wall power drops. Cycle claims are not interchangeable: Jackery prints 4,000 cycles to 70%+; EcoFlow prints 3,000 to 80%. The bigger count stops lower, so it is not automatically the longer life.

A laptop and lights stay inside 300 W, so the lighter Explorer 300 v2 is what you feel in the hand. Closer to 600 W on a small pack means opening the RIVER 3 Plus page.

Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 or EcoFlow DELTA 3?

If this size has to leave the driveway with you, pick from watts, weight, price, and whether you will buy an extra battery. The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2ModelJackery Explorer 1000 v28.9 / 101,070 Wh · 1,500 W · 23.8 lb · 10.8 kg · $559.00 lists 1,070 Wh, 1,500 W, 23.8 lb, UPS under 20 ms, and solar up to 400 W, at $559 on 2026-10-31. The EcoFlow DELTA 3ModelEcoFlow DELTA 38.8 / 101,024 Wh · 1,800 W · 27.6 lb · 12.52 kg · $629.00 lists 1,024 Wh, 1,800 W, 27.6 lb, UPS under 10 ms, solar up to 500 W, and an add-on battery, at $629 the same day.

OutdoorGearLab usable AC on the Explorer 1000 v2 is about 910 Wh. The DELTA 3 cycle line reads 4,000 to 80%, which stops higher than the Explorer’s 4,000 to 70%+. So the EcoFlow costs about $70 more and about four more pounds, and returns 300 W more continuous output, a faster UPS claim, a higher cycle finish, and room for a second battery.

If you will buy that extra battery, the expandable Jackery Explorer 1000 PlusModelJackery Explorer 1000 Plus8.9 / 101,264 Wh · 2,000 W · 32 lb · 14.51 kg · $619.00 (1,264 Wh, 2,000 W, $619) sits next to the DELTA 3 with more watt-hours on the Jackery side.

Is EcoFlow cheaper than Jackery at 2,000 Wh?

These stay where you put them. For a power cut at home — fridge, router, lights — yes, EcoFlow undercuts on the list price we recorded for this pair. The Jackery Explorer 2000 v2ModelJackery Explorer 2000 v29.1 / 102,042 Wh · 2,200 W · 39.5 lb · 17.92 kg · $999.00 and the EcoFlow DELTA 3 MaxModelEcoFlow DELTA 3 Max9.1 / 102,048 Wh · 2,400 W · 44.8 lb · 20.32 kg · $749.00 both sit near 2,048 Wh. The Explorer lists 2,200 W, 39.5 lb, UPS under 20 ms, 4,000 cycles to 70%+, and solar up to 400 W, at $999 (2026-10-31). DELTA 3 Max lists 2,400 W, 44.8 lb, UPS under 10 ms, and solar up to 500 W, at $749 the same day — about $250 less, about five more pounds, and cycle life blank on our page.

The Explorer page also notes a charge-time split: the brand cites about 1.3 to 1.7 hours from the wall; OutdoorGearLab measured about 2.5 hours. That gap matters if refill speed is why you opened a 2,000 Wh box.

What should I check before I buy?

• Similar watt-hours. Put Explorer 300 v2 next to RIVER 3 Plus, or Explorer 1000 v2 next to DELTA 3 — not a 288 Wh box next to a 2,000 Wh unit.
• Continuous watts and weight. EcoFlow often prints more AC watts; Jackery often prints fewer pounds.
• Add-on battery and cycle percent. A second battery only matters if you will buy one. 4,000 to 80% and 4,000 to 70%+ are different claims.
