EcoFlow home-backup ladder (DELTA 3 to Ultra X)

Three flagships leave out the people searching “backup under $1,000” and “3 kWh portable.” EcoFlow already sells those. Stay in one family so extras, panels, and transfer gear actually plug in.

Who each rung is for

DELTA 3 is the fridge / CPAP / router box. It is not a well-pump machine. Buy the $389 / $499 extra pack before you buy a second brand.

DELTA 3 Plus is the same energy and watts with dual solar input (1,000 W) and faster USB-C. Worth it if you already plan a 220 W or 400 W panel.

DELTA 3 Max Plus doubles energy and jumps to 3 kW. Use it when a window AC or microwave is in the plan and you still want a cart, not a stacked inverter.

DELTA 3 Ultra Plus is the mid portable that EcoFlow documents with a transfer switch or inlet. 3.6 kW / 3 kWh. Do not confuse it with Ultra X.

DELTA Pro 3 is the 240 V portable. Ultra X + SHP3 is the automatic-house stack. Those two do not share batteries with DELTA 3.

Pair the extras, not a second logo

Same-brand add-ons are how a $599 box becomes a weekend kit. Cross-brand 48 V packs are not a recommendation.
