At a Glance
This comparison targets buyers weighing a full-scale home backup system against a lighter, more portable unit. The Delta Pro Ultra X delivers 12,000W of running power and 6,144 Wh of capacity, dwarfing the Yeti 1500X's 2,000W output and 1,516 Wh battery.
That gap shows in device coverage: the EcoFlow powered all 53 tested appliances, while the Goal Zero handled 43 of 53. LFP chemistry gives the Delta Pro Ultra X roughly 3,200 charge cycles versus 500 for the NMC-based Yeti, a meaningful difference for long-term daily use.
Solar input capacity reinforces the divide, with the EcoFlow accepting up to 10,000W compared to 600W on the Goal Zero. The tradeoff is size and portability: at 45.6 lbs the Yeti 1500X is easy to load into a vehicle, while the 187.4 lb Delta Pro Ultra X is essentially a stationary appliance.
