      ​@@neverclevernorwitty7821 where this shines is when paired with an ecoflow battery so you can run small loads off the battery with the generator only kicking on intermittently. I don't see this aimed towards the RV crowd but more towards the off grid cabins or post hurricane/natural disaster/Texas power grid customers where minimizing fuel consumption might be worth the premium price.

    • @NoZenith

      @gavincregan7892 also Minimalist campers. I want to do a cargo trailer build and not really finish it or anything. Just have it insulated with ventilation and be able to do a modular set up that I can take out so I can use the trailer as utility trailer Part time and camping part time, as well as having home back up during extreme weather like you mention. Everything being multi-use or dual purpose so I can invest in Higher Quality is my goal. I got my parents and myself each an Ecoflow Delta 2 Max and a single Smart Generator to share with them as we don't live more than 35 miles apart, but we are on 2 separate electrical grids, so it's unlikely we'll go down at the same time.

      @@pyoodiepie Well, if you can charge one on a longer cable as well as power things to boot, a Honda or a conventional other inverter generator would be fine. Besides, I am not sure if I would want to stock pile batteries in my house knowing that when they go, they REALLY go and take your home and you with it. It's bad enough that my tablet, phone, Nintendo Switch, laptop and various game controllers rely on these relatively potentially volatile little things. That and internal combustion engines are recyclable, batteries aren't and also have a shorter life expectancy especially for the price.

      As someone else mentioned, it's cost is due to the fact that you can link it with a delta pro or a power kit and have it kick in and turn off on it's own as needed to keep the batteries charged instead of having to go outside every time your batteries get too low

    • @chiron03
      @chiron03 Před 23 dny +2

      The main benefit is that it works in collaboration with their other ecoflow products. The generator can turn itself on and off automatically based on what you set. So you can set it to kick on the generator if your batteries gets to 10% charge remaining and turn off at 80%. That's its main intended use. Not to beat the others. But to run without needing much input. Its always just waiting and ready in standby if you have it plugged in.

    It’s not clear to me how compatible this is with the delta pro ultra. It looked like you were DC charging an ultra but does it replace one of the solar inputs to do that? Whenever I AC charge my ultra with a generator, it seems to transfer any loads to the generator rather than using the inverter on the ultra. I know all of these products are new but it sure is hard to figure out what works together on the EcoFlow site so I really appreciate content like yours to explain things.

    I would rather have the Honda. I've never really been a battery fan. Yes, the Honda isn't as feature rich but Honda has a legacy and is still the go-to for any generator out there. I would rather have two 2200 Hondas in parallel than one big 3/4000 one but if I want a big one I would go for the 7000 model. It has bluetooth connectivity, FUEL INJECTION and other things without having to rely on battery systems or be a supplement to them. The downside is the price as it's CA$5000 or more. I guess if I win the lottery or a Honda contest, then yeah, the 7000 would replace my 5500/6500 open frame Chinese clone.

    I just purchased DPU and the the package included an EcoFlow 4000 watt generator and what was offered was cab
    Why would they package these together with cables if unable to charge DC to DC?
    In the comments below, someone mentioned the transfer of the DPU A/C output to the generator while charging AC charge to THE DPU
    I am still waiting for the generator to do my own testing. Will be disappointed if I can’t charge the DPU efficiently with the generator while the DPU IS pushing out A/C power

    • @johnnysweekends

      The DPU can not except dc charging.
      Only AC
      The smart Gen can still be used and you can have full app control but it won’t be able to talk to DPU and start and stop when it needs to.

      I just received my ECOFLOW 4000 watt generator
      All Seems ok except for one issue: Being able to connect via Bluetooth. I have sent an email inquiry to ECOFLOW.
      I have multiple devices from EcoFlow to include:
      Ultra
      2 waves
      Delta pro 3
      And a glacier
      All link up to the EcoFlow app without issue.
      I have tried multiple ways to this 4000 watt generator to Pair. Just a continuous blinking of the symbols of Bluetooth and WiFi symbol. When i reset the IOT ( hold for 5 seconds) it beeps and the symbols just continues to blink. I have allowed the internal battery to completely charge, tried connecting with the engine running and without the engine running. Are there any suggestions or a unique procedure to in trying to Pair? A unique QR code? Any suggestions? I am still waiting from EcoFlow. Just have an automated response as of now.

    And with the Delta pro 30 yes, that's right. They made a doubt, the problem and they made it to ultra. Then they step back and made a Delta pro 3. When they could've made it just like to deal to pro with more battery or bigger batteries. Than more power. Oh my gosh, what the days screw up with now? It's good that they say it's like a tap with the machine itself but it better off. But then just had 2 batteries cause. Then they could have a lot more power in a minute. Hell a lot more instead of you have to have 3 generators and all its batteries and only get a few 1000 months a power called oh my gosh, 12000 W.
