Jackery vs EcoFlow is mostly a question of scale and of what kind of backup you want. Jackery’s lineup runs from a 288Wh camping station to a 5,040Wh solar generator with 120V/240V output [1]. EcoFlow goes from compact stations up to whole-home systems rated in the tens of kilowatts [2]. Behind those catalogs: Jackery was founded in 2012 and introduced portable power stations under its brand in 2016 [3], while EcoFlow was founded in May 2017 and launched with the RIVER mobile power station [4]. Match capacity and output to your appliances first; the badge on the case comes second.
Where the two brands come from
Jackery is a consumer electronics brand under Shenzhen Huabao New Energy Co., whose parent company started out making battery accessories for mobile devices as an original design manufacturer [3]. Its product lines include portable power stations sold as the Explorer series, foldable solar panels sold as the SolarSaga series, and solar generators, using lithium-ion or lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries and aimed primarily at outdoor recreation and home emergency backup [3]. Jackery sells its products in North America, Japan, and Europe via its official websites, third-party online marketplaces, and large retail chains like Costco [3]. The Solar Mars Bot made TIME’s Best Inventions list in 2023, and a number of Jackery’s products have won the Red Dot Design Award and the iF Design Award [3].
EcoFlow develops portable power stations, smart devices, and home energy systems, and was founded in May 2017 by Bruce Wang [4]. It expanded to Tokyo by 2019 and introduced the DELTA 1300 with faster charging, followed by the RIVER series with smart energy management features in 2020 [4]. In 2021 it released the DELTA Pro and its first Smart Home Panel; in 2022 it introduced the WAVE mobile air conditioner, Power Kits, and the DELTA 2 and RIVER 2 series [4]. Its design awards include Red Dot and iF recognitions in 2023 [4].
One piece of history worth knowing before you pick a model: in 2025 EcoFlow recalled 25,000 Delta Max 2000 power stations over fire risk [4]. That does not describe the current lineup, but it is a reminder to check whether the specific model and serial number you are buying has an open recall, whichever brand you choose.
What each brand actually sells
Jackery organizes its Canada site around solar generators, portable power stations, solar panels, accessories, and an official refurbished section [1]. Its product cards pair a capacity in watt-hours with a continuous output in watts — 1024Wh at 1500W on the HomePower 1000 v2, 5040Wh at 7200W on the Solar Generator 5000 Plus [1]. Jackery also states that it has sold more than 7 million units and has been recognized by 200+ media outlets globally [1].
EcoFlow’s catalog is broader: power stations across the RIVER, DELTA, DELTA Pro and TITAN series, whole-home backup, home batteries in the OCEAN series, smart devices, an alternator charger for vehicle charging, power banks, and accessories [2]. Where Jackery’s largest listed generator is a 5kWh-class unit, EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro Ultra and DELTA Pro Ultra X scale to 90kWh and 180kWh in the configurations it lists [1][2].
Anker SOLIX combines portable stations — the S2000 at 2kWh and the S5000 at 5kWh — with home backup products: the F3800 Plus, which Anker describes as 240V plug-and-play power for a home AC and fridge, the F3000 for essential circuits, and the E10 whole-home system [5].
Capacity and output: where the numbers land
The ladder on Jackery’s site reads roughly: 288Wh with a LiFePO4 battery on the Solar Generator 300 Plus; 1024Wh at either 1500W or 1800W depending on the model; 1070Wh with a full solar charge in about 3 hours; 2042Wh with emergency charging in 1.7 hours; 2048Wh at 2400W; 3072Wh and 3584Wh, both at 3600W; and 5040Wh at 7200W with 120V/240V output [1]. Each model is listed with one capacity figure rather than an expandable range [1].
EcoFlow lists many models as expandable ranges — DELTA 3 Plus from 1kWh to 5kWh, DELTA 3 Ultra Plus from 3kWh to 11kWh, DELTA Pro 3 from 4kWh to 48kWh — and the DELTA Pro 3 provides both 120V and 240V output at up to 4000W from a single unit [2]. EcoFlow says the DELTA Pro Ultra is the only portable power station certified to both UL1973 and UL9540 [2].
For Anker SOLIX, the S5000 is a 5kWh portable station certified to UL9540 and UL9540A, the S2000 is a 2kWh unit that Anker rates for up to 35 hours of fridge backup, and the F3800 Plus supplies 240V power for large appliances [5].
Do you need a portable station or a home battery?
A portable station is something you wheel into the kitchen during a storm and take camping in July. A home battery or whole-home system is wired in and switches over on its own. The three brands sit on different points of that line.
Jackery’s biggest listed generator offers 120V/240V output, which is what 240V appliances such as a well pump or a clothes dryer need [1]. EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro Ultra X is listed at 12–36kW output and 12–180kWh capacity, and the OCEAN Pro home battery at 24kW output with 40kW of solar input — whole-home territory rather than tailgate territory [2]. Anker SOLIX’s E10 monitors severe weather, auto-charges from solar and grid, switches to backup during an outage, and balances power across up to 12 circuits; its portable stations need a manual transfer switch for essential-circuit backup [5].
That distinction matters more than any brand comparison: a 2kWh station runs a fridge and lights, and a 240V-capable system can carry central air. Decide which loads you actually need before you shop.
What about Bluetti, Goal Zero, and other brands?
Bluetti, Goal Zero, Predator and the rest get compared with these three for the same reasons, and the same figures settle most of the argument. Pull these from any manufacturer’s spec sheet before you compare:
- Capacity in watt-hours, and whether expansion batteries extend it.
- Continuous output in watts, not the peak surge figure.
- Battery chemistry — Jackery lists LiFePO4 on its 300 Plus [1], and LiFePO4 generally tolerates more full cycles than older lithium-ion chemistry.
- Output voltage: 120V only, or 120V and 240V like the Jackery 5000 Plus [1] and the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 [2].
- Safety certifications named for home use, such as the UL1973 and UL9540 listings EcoFlow cites [2] and the UL9540 and UL9540A listings Anker SOLIX cites [5].
- Return window and warranty length, plus who handles service in the US.
A brand that publishes all six is easier to compare than one that publishes only the headline capacity.
Returns, warranty, and after-sale terms
Jackery says customers get a 30-day return window, no-cost warranty returns, warranties of up to five years at no charge, complimentary customer service, and free, fast delivery [1].
EcoFlow’s return service is currently available for US orders only: items must be complete in their original packaging and returned within 30 days of receipt for an exchange or refund, and after 30 days no refund or exchange is offered [6]. Customers can request a full refund within 24 hours of placing an order, and later cancellations before delivery can carry a transaction fee [6]. A return may have a transaction fee plus shipping cost deducted, while quality issues get a full refund or a one-time free replacement within 30 days of receipt [6]. EcoFlow also lists free shipping on all orders, with no shipment to outlying areas including Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Alaska [2].
Anker SOLIX’s product pages lead with certifications and backup features; confirm the warranty length, return window, and whether the brand ships to your region before you order [5].

Which option fits whom
Camping, tailgating, and small-device charging. A sub-300Wh unit is enough. Jackery’s 288Wh Solar Generator 300 Plus uses a LiFePO4 battery [1], and EcoFlow’s RIVER series covers the same ground [2].
Fridge, lights, router, and phones through a storm. Look in the 1–5kWh range: Jackery’s 1070Wh and 2042Wh models [1], EcoFlow’s DELTA 3 Classic and DELTA 3 Plus [2], or Anker SOLIX’s 2kWh S2000 [5].
Central AC or a whole-home transfer setup. You need 240V output. Jackery’s 5000 Plus lists 120V/240V [1], EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro 3 delivers both voltages from one unit [2], and Anker SOLIX’s F3800 Plus is built for 240V plug-and-play use [5].
Hands-off switchover with weather alerts. Anker SOLIX’s E10 monitors severe weather and switches to backup automatically, prioritizing up to 12 circuits [5] — check whether the brand sells and services in your region first.
Planning to add capacity later. EcoFlow publishes expandable ranges across several models, from 1kWh up to 48kWh on the DELTA Pro 3 [2], while Jackery’s product cards list a single capacity per model [1].
Careful about returns. Jackery states a 30-day window [1]; EcoFlow’s window is also 30 days from receipt but comes with conditions on fees and packaging [6]. Read the policy you will actually be held to.
Specs, certifications, and policies change by model and by season, so confirm the current numbers on each brand’s own site before you order.
