At a Glance

This comparison targets buyers choosing between two 2,048 Wh LFP power stations that scored an identical 88.5 in our testing and each powered 45 out of 53 devices. The DELTA 2 Max delivers 2,400W of running power versus 2,200W for the AC200MAX, giving it a useful edge for higher-draw appliances like space heaters or power tools.

It also accepts up to 1,000W of solar input compared to 900W for the Bluetti, though both units reach a full solar charge in about 7.3 hours. Weight is a real differentiator: the EcoFlow comes in at 50.7 lbs, roughly 11 lbs lighter than the 61.9 lb AC200MAX, which matters for truck loading and campsite hauling.

The tradeoff sits in longevity. Bluetti's unit is rated for 3,500 charge cycles to EcoFlow's 3,000, a meaningful gap for daily home-backup use over several years.
