At a Glance

This comparison targets buyers weighing a compact, portable power station against a high-capacity home backup unit. The Yeti Pro 4000 delivers 3600W of running power and nearly four times the battery capacity (3993.6 Wh vs. 1024 Wh), making it the stronger choice for powering large appliances and full-home circuits.

It also covered 47 of 53 tested devices compared to 42 for the DELTA 3 Plus, earning a compatibility score of 95 versus 76.5. Solar input on the Yeti tops out at 3000W, tripling the DELTA 3 Plus's 1000W ceiling, though its full recharge takes roughly 14.3 hours versus 3.7 hours for the smaller EcoFlow unit.

The tradeoff is weight: the Yeti Pro 4000 tips the scale at 115.7 lbs, more than four times the DELTA 3 Plus's 27.6 lbs, which limits grab-and-go portability.
