Jackery vs EcoFlow vs BLUETTI: Wh, surge, LFP, expandability

HomePower 3600 Plus is the home-backup headliner for this pass. Explorer / DELTA / AC units remain for apartment and mid-size comparisons. Numbers the manufacturers actually print only.

What actually differs

All of these use LiFePO4 (LFP) cells. The fight is weight, inverter headroom, how fast they refill from a wall, and whether you can bolt on extra batteries later. HomePower 3600 Plus is Jackery’s home-backup / expandable class (~77 lb). Explorer v2 boxes (1000 / 2000 / 3000) are standalone. EcoFlow’s DELTA 3 Plus and Max Plus are stackable. BLUETTI’s AC200L is the expansion chassis in the mid-size set; the AC180 is not.

EcoFlow also lists a non-Plus DELTA 3 Max at 2,048 Wh, 2,400 W rated / 4,800 W surge, not expandable on the same comparison blurb. Jackery’s expandable sibling is the 2000 Plus series, not the 2000 v2.

Jackery Explorer 3000 v2 is the portable 3 kWh box we could document from the US product page. It is not expandable (Jackery FAQ: use 2000 Plus or 5000 Plus if you need packs).

Jackery listed the unit at $2,499 on the US page at research time; it showed sold out. We do not treat that as a live street price.

EcoFlow DELTA 3 Ultra Plus

EcoFlow’s US catalog also points at a DELTA 3 Ultra Plus (3,072 Wh) from the Classic and Max Plus pages. We did not pull a full spec table for it in this pass, so it is named only — no invented watts.

Manufacturer fridge hours — not our stopwatch

Quoted only where the brand published a fridge/refrigerator runtime. Jackery blog hours are calculator-style continuous watts. EcoFlow hours are marketing runtime blocks. BLUETTI AC180 FAQ says its runtime formula is not for compressor loads.
ModelMaker fridge claimSource note
Jackery 1000 v2Refrigerator 200 W: 4.1 h; freezer 200 W: 4.1 h (blog calculator table). Mini fridge 70 W: 10.3 h on a second Jackery table.jackery.com buying-advice blogs. Continuous-watt math — compressor duty cycle is not applied.
Jackery 2000 v2Refrigerator 200 W: 7.7 h (blog table). PDP: fridge + Wi‑Fi + lights through a “full-day outage.” Blackout guide: 18–24 h for a standard 18 cu.ft. fridge.Two Jackery numbers exist. We print both rather than average them.

Who should buy which

Home backup + solar kit (headliner): Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus — 3,584 Wh, 3,600 W / 7,200 W surge, ~77.16 lb, up to 1,000 W solar, expandable, ASIN B0FMXCPWBN with 2×200 W panels. Check price.

Lightest 1 kWh you can actually carry (secondary): Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 (23.8 lb, 1,070 Wh, 1,500 W). You give up 300 W of inverter vs EcoFlow/BLUETTI in this class.

Fastest wall refill + more inverter in 1 kWh: EcoFlow DELTA 3 Classic (1,800 W, 0–80% in 45 min) or DELTA 3 Plus if you want extra batteries later (to 5 kWh) and EcoFlow’s 7–14 h fridge strip.

Most Wh per box in 1 kWh class: BLUETTI AC180 at 1,152 Wh and four AC outlets, 35.27 lb, not expandable.

2 kWh you can still move: Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 at 39.5 lb, 2,200 W / 4,400 W surge. Not expandable.

2 kWh you can grow: BLUETTI AC200L (to 8,192 Wh, 62.4 lb) or EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max Plus (3,000 W, 2–10 kWh). Pick AC200L if expansion packs are the point; pick Max Plus if the 3,000 W inverter is the point.

We did not pick a “winner.” Constraint match only.
