My Review of the EcoFlow Delta 1300

With a solid 1260Wh capacity and 1800 watts of continuous power, the EcoFlow Delta 1300 easily handled daily usage both on the road and during power outages at home. I’ve used it to run mini-fridges, routers, lights, laptops, microwaves, projectors, and even a small AC unit during summer trips.

The highlight of this unit is undoubtedly the super-fast charging. It recharges remarkably quicker than other portable power stations I’ve tested—plus, it has a rich variety of output ports to handle multiple devices at once.

Design & Build Quality

Weighing just under 31 pounds, the EcoFlow Delta 1300 is impressively lightweight for its capabilities. It’s well-balanced with ergonomic handles for easier transport, and the build feels tough enough for rugged conditions.

The device features ventilation grills at the rear and a clear LCD display that shows remaining usage time in minutes and hours—much more helpful than the usual percentage-only readouts.

Though it’s not as compact as something like the Jackery Explorer 1000, it packs more power and capacity, making it ideal for RVs, trucks, and emergency preparedness.

Port Selection

You won’t run out of outlets with this device:

• 6 x AC outlets
  
• 2 x standard USB-A ports
  
• 2 x fast-charge USB-A ports
  
• 2 x USB-C (60W) ports
  
• 1 x 13.6V DC car port
  

Perfect for simultaneously charging a laptop, phone, drone, fridge, and light—all at once.

Charging Methods

1. Wall Charging (AC Outlet):

EcoFlow’s X-Stream technology makes this unit a beast when it comes to recharging from the wall.

• 0 to 80%: ~60 minutes
  
• 0 to 100%: ~1 hour 49 minutes (after 6 months of use)
  

2. Solar Charging:

Using a 100W Rockpal SP003 foldable panel, it took about 7 hours in bright sunlight to fully charge. Keep in mind, the max solar input is 400W, so using higher wattage panels would reduce charge time significantly.

3. Car Charging:

This is the slowest method—expect around 14 hours from a 12V socket. Still useful if you’re driving all day and want to top up on the go.

Real-World Appliance Usage Estimates

• Laptop (60W): 32 charges / 23 hrs
  
• LED light bulb: ~37 hrs
  
• Coffee maker (600W): 55 cups
  
• Mini freezer (120W): 10–17 hrs
  
• Hair dryer (1600W): 1–3 hrs
  
• TV (110W): 7–8 hrs
  
• Blender (500W): ~2.5 hrs
  
• Projector (65W): 11–13 hrs
  

Performance Evaluation

The EcoFlow Delta 1300 performs beyond expectations in both home and mobile environments. The 3300W surge rating is particularly handy for appliances with high starting currents like blenders or small ACs.

I also love that the battery’s low self-discharge rate means no surprise drops in power overnight. Even while powering several devices at once—cameras, phones, GPS systems—there was no performance dip.

The unit has a battery lifespan of 800+ charge cycles, and although I haven’t hit that number yet, its performance shows no degradation so far.

Load Test Results

I pushed this unit close to its limits:

• 1790W load: Ran smoothly
  
• 1810W load: Still held up
  
• 1830W load: Triggered the overload warning
  

This proves the EcoFlow Delta 1300 delivers reliable continuous output up to and slightly beyond its rated wattage.

Should You Buy It?

If you need a high-powered, fast-charging portable generator that’s equally useful for emergency home use and off-grid travel, the EcoFlow Delta 1300 is an outstanding choice.

It’s user-friendly, packed with features, and built to last. Whether you’re preparing for outages or planning long camping trips, this model won’t disappoint.
