Model-Specific Results
4 of 4 models are SAFE or TIGHT. Most demanding model: Dyson Supersonic r Professional (1,700W surge).
| Model | Running | Surge | Verdict | Runtime | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dyson Supersonic Origin | 1,600W | 1,600W | Safe | ~2.7h | OEM Verified |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 1600 W. **Surge:** 1600 W. Requires 120V AC. No surge multiplier indicates resistive heating element. Generator must supply at least 1600 W continuous at 120V to operate safely. Field note: Verify generator can sustain 1600 W before connecting. Allow 20% headroom above rated load for stable operation during peak heat cycles. Will this work on a 2000W generator? Only if your power source can supply at least 1600W continuous and 1600W surge at 120V. Check manufacturer load charts for real-world capacity under resistive heating. | |||||
| Dyson Supersonic r Professional | 1,700W | 1,700W | Safe | ~2.5h | OEM Verified |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 1700 W. **Surge:** 1700 W (resistive heating element, no motor spike). Requires 120V AC supply. Generator must sustain 1700 W continuously without voltage sag during the 18-minute runtime window. Field note: Verify generator can deliver full rated wattage at 120V under load. Undersized units may experience voltage drop during simultaneous appliance operation, causing thermal cutoff. Can I run this hair dryer on a 2000W inverter generator? Only if your power source can supply at least 1700W continuous and 1700W surge at 120V. Inverter generators often derate at altitude or high ambient temperature. | |||||
| Shark FlexStyle HD400 (1400W) | 1,400W | 1,400W | Safe | ~3.1h | OEM Verified |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 1400 W. **Surge:** 1400 W. Requires 120V AC supply. Resistive heating element yields identical running and surge demand. Generator must sustain continuous 1400 W output without voltage sag. Field note: Verify generator nameplate capacity exceeds 1400 W continuous. Voltage droop under load may reduce heating performance or trigger thermal shutdown. Can I run this styling tool on a 1500W portable generator? Only if your power source can supply at least 1400W continuous and 1400W surge at 120V. Marginal headroom increases risk of voltage sag and premature shutoff. | |||||
| Shark FlexStyle HD400 (1600W) | 1,600W | 1,600W | Safe | ~2.7h | OEM Verified |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 1600 W. **Surge load:** 1600 W. Requires 120V AC. Generator must supply continuous 1600 W minimum with no margin. Resistive heating element shows minimal inrush current. Field note: Zero headroom exists at 1600 W generator capacity. Any voltage sag or shared load will cause dropout. Verify available AC output rating before connecting. Can I run this on a 1600W generator? Only if your power source can supply at least 1600W continuous and 1600W surge at 120V. Any headroom deficit or shared circuit will interrupt operation. | |||||

Generator Insights
With 12000 watts of surge capacity, this system can handle typical startup loads for central air compressors, well pumps, and other motor-driven equipment common in residential settings. The 6000-watt continuous rating supports sustained operation of multiple high-draw appliances simultaneously. The 6144 Wh capacity provides meaningful runtime for essential circuits during grid outages.
This unit uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry, known for stable thermal behavior in stationary storage applications. The system is designed with internal protections typical of grid-tied and off-grid battery platforms. Source: EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra User Manual (manufacturer documentation).

Running load: 1700 W. Surge: 1700 W. Voltage: 120V AC. Resistive heating element draws constant power with no startup spike. Generator must supply 1700 W continuous output at 120V.
Expected Behavior
Estimated runtime: ~2.5h. Draws steady 1700 W during operation. At 0.3 hours per day, consumes approximately 510 Wh daily. No transient load fluctuations expected from heating coil.
Field Note
Verify generator can sustain 1700 W before rated capacity drops due to altitude or temperature derating. Allow no other simultaneous loads during use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra power a Hair Dryer?
Yes. The EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra provides 6000W running / 12000W surge. The Professional Hair Dryer needs 1871W / 1871W (including 10% buffer). That leaves 4129W of running headroom and 10129W of surge margin.
How long will the Delta Pro Ultra run a Hair Dryer?
Approximately 2.5 hours, based on the Professional Hair Dryer's 1700W draw and the Delta Pro Ultra's 6144Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).
What Else Can You Run?
With 1900W allocated to the Professional Hair Dryer, the Delta Pro Ultra still has ~1200W of margin. These devices could run simultaneously:
