Why I like the Anker Powerhouse 767 BETTER than the Ecoflow Delta Pro

You mentioned the price compared to capacity, and the big weight difference that's made even clearer by your face expressions. I think it's also important to underline that the Ecoflow has 80% more capacity than the Anker, and weighs "just" 48% more. So Ecoflow has packed more in the same volume, and that's usually always more expensive in general.

When I first heard about the Anker 767 I thought to myself, I love Anker and I would really like to get it, then I did a comparison to the Eco Delta Pro (I already have 2 with extra batteries). The Delta Pro was far superior in capacity (3600Wh vs Anker’s 2048Wh), inverter (3600W with surge up to 7200W vs Anker’s measly 2400W), solar input (1600W vs Anker’s 1000W), and the solar panels automatically turn the unit on. There’s no way I’ll be able to replace my Delta Pros for the Anker, it would be a major downgrade. EcoFlow have a much cheaper and lighter Delta Max (I have 2 of them with 3 extra batteries) that competes with the Anker Powerhouse 767.

Little bit of a stretch on the comparison, pretty much apples to oranges between these two model. It's kinda like comparing a sports car to a diesel truck and each one has their advantages.
The Anker has excellent build quality and I love the quiet fans. I hope ALL companies move towards silent operation. I also love how clean the power output is on the inverter. It's one of the best inverters I have ever tested. I love the 5 yr warranty was well, BUT the EcoFlow also has a 5 year warranty.
The main disadvantage, in my opinion, is the 60VOC limit on the 767. Using third party solar panels it is almost impossible to hit the 1000w mark, I have only ever been able to get 650w or so. Basically... the only way to get the full 1000 watts of solar input is to purchase five of their 'Anker 531' 200 watt solar panels and connect them together in parallel. Those panels only cost $550 each so you'd need $2750 worth of panels to get max charging.
Thanks for the video! I enjoyed the conversation. Certainly different models have pros and cons for each use case so discussing these points will help others make the best decision.

EcoFlow Delta Pro with its different modifications and settings by far is much better and offers more completenesse. I have 2 Delta Pro, 1 delta pro extended smart battery and the smart generator that Anker 757 couldn’t compete and honestly, the fan noise is not a severe issue. I have my settings in a room outside my house won’t bother anyone.

I cannot recall if mentioned, but I believe a huge advantage with the Ecoflow is the ability to plug into external Generlink type plug to use and override the home electrical panel.

I've been meaning to pick something like this up at some point. Good to know that the Anker is a solid option. Thanks for this video.

I've become a bit of a fan noise person for these power stations. Gotta love the Anker for that quiet action. The DaranEner power station is super quiet.....for now.

The Ecoflow has another BIG BIG selling point. The Smart Home Panel that allows you to run your home off your battery/solar panels during off peak/emergency times that allows you to offset your electric bill.

A couple of these plus a few solar panels would make a great alternative to a gas generator in case of extended power outages from major storms. You could keep a fridge going almost indefinitely, or run a window AC a few hours per night when you're sleeping.

This was recommended to me, been looking into generators. Nice to see a familiar face! Great job as always :)

Great video. The refurbished unit prices on eBay are very compelling. I’m looking at the delta pro for $1750 vs $1350 for the Anker.

Appreciate the focused review vs others I’ve watched. Firmware (software) matters and hopefully Anker is listening. You see the impact across various industries that stack hardware and software. Companies that embrace the advantages of software excel while others fade.

Great video, I’ll be tuning in to more. Of course I just ordered the delta max after I thought I had it narrowed down between it and the bluetti ac max 2000.
I’m powering van apartment and some corded tools for work and I hope this will be sufficient. Got it through Costco for the friendliness of exchanging but hope I don’t need to. This a let unit seems pretty nice and I like the panels

Love all my Anker products and they just work with no hassles year after year after year. My 757 is fantastic and I'll probably get the new fridge they are bringing out soon. Great video and very informative, thanks!

Thx you for the review i been waiting on someone to do

Thanks for describing the pros and cons! Liked the bit that you explained about daisy-chain, I think that piece of info is very important to know. Why are these units so expensive?

One of the issue with all of these units with the TT-30 port is that on all of them except the Delta Pro are not 30 Amp Capable. The Anker can output 2400W to that port is limited to 20Amp, the Delta Pro is 3600 watts so that is a 30amp max output.

Really great video but I think the 767 is more comparable to a Delta Max than a Pro, or the Bluetti AC200MAX. Limited solar and expansion, smaller inverter. It's an awesome unit and is my fav for a 2kw unit with a bit of expansion. The quiet fans are a killer feature.

One feature of the EcoFlow Delta I like is the EV Adapter that allows you to charge your at a level 2 AC EV charging station. Hopefully Anker will release a similar adapter.

Wouldn't have been better if you compared the EcoFlo Delta Max 2. I believe it is also a 2400k generator weighs about the same a Anker has a quite fan and also comes with an extended warranty.

The anker also turns off the USB ports when it runs out of power and you have to unplug the cables before they turn back on again.
Super frustrating to have to do that each time power runs out.

I just received the Pecron E2000LFP cost me $1110.55 shipped
I know it's only a 2Kw inverter but the battery tests above average capacity with expansion batteries that extend to 8kwh. Each battery can except 500 watts of solar and have a 100 watt USB C port and 12V port

Really good video. I'm closely watching if Anker will do a firmware update for your suggestions in a timely manner like EcoFlow does. EF has a very strong reputation for no hassle warranty repairs and actively listen to feedback and implement changes accordingly
I prefer the peace of mind knowing if something goes wrong EF got my back vs other companies that will ghost you if you have a problem....cough cough Bluetti.
Haven't heard anything good or bad about Anker warranty support.
Let's see if Anker listens and does the suggested firmware updates.

Really great video comparison, thanks for the info.

I have 2 Ecoflow Pro plus 2 extra batteries for each, connected to a smart panel, been hooked up for just over a month. The fan speed seems to be impacted only by the amount of power being drawn (or charged), not by the ambient temperature. The batteries can be 56°, (according to the app), yet the fans will still come on full blast. Seems like they should be able to control speed by a software update, but it probably depends on where the sensors are inside. better to error on the side of too much cooling than not enough, I guess. The longer I have these things the more I learn about batteries and electricity.

I was watching Caleb when I saw your post and that raised an eyebrow so here I am. Looks like an anchor might be in my future!

Maybe I didn't quite understand what was being said, but to me the biggest difference in the two is the Delta Pros can run in parallel giving max output of 7200w at one time. Of course you'll have to upgrade and get the power block that allows them to sync, but that's my biggest concern. I need to power a full home.

What i would like just as much as an auto-on after AC/solar, is the ability to have AC and solar at the same time, and only use AC when solar is not enough, or say, not use AC until battery is below 50%, or 75% or some number you've chosen

Great video. I wonder how you would compare the Pecron 3000 against these. Would that be a better value?.

Have you done any test to verify that either of these batteries have the capacity that they advertise? testing to make sure that they can provide a the max wattage is easy, but testing to make sure the actually have the storage capacity advertised takes a lot longer.

A sound clip of how loud the Ecoflow is in comparison would be very helpful!

Thanks for the great unbiased review!

Firmware update just came out for the 767.

Nice comparison easily understood

Good to know, thanks for replying so quickly

I find this quite humorous, that I have followed for videos about generating light and now we are talking about consuming light. A full loop.

Thank you very much. I do not yet own a home battery generator. A question I have had for quite some time is --- My need is for occasional (not very often) basic home emergency power (cell phones, fan, etc). What I have not found addressed is what is the long-term power management for such a battery generator, which may not be used for many months, so --- do you leave it connected to AC power 100% of the time for months on end, without "using" the battery, waiting for an emergency, or is there some form of periodic use that you must perform to help drain the battery, then recharge it to full power? In other words, just how is the battery to be maintained for months on end, over years, when the battery is not being used very much? Thank you.

You talked about the option of a more permanent battery solution. What would you suggest?

Can you fast charge the Anker PowerHouse 767 from a Level 2 EV charging station through some sort of 3rd party J1772 adapter?

Thanks alot for this review. I was thinking about getting the Ecoflow for my house, but it looks like the Anker Powerhouse is better and more affordable. I do have a question. For home generator purposes, does the Anker have a "plug and play" feature to make it easier to set up?

All great points! I am looking at the spec for the 767, and I don’t see a DC 12v @ 30amp port. The spec shows 2x 12v @10amp port. Am I missing something? Or is the spec on their website wrong?

Good video! But the cycling thresholds and speed are not dependent on what type of semiconductor is in the charging circuit. It is more efficient, but the charging rate is largely determined by chemistry, cell design, temperature and current handling of charge circuit. And of course the supply. Not the type of semiconductor.

Good review of both systems.

Is there some sort of app or spreadsheet available to figure out how long a battery will last under critical loads only? Then under normal everyday usage? I need that to size a battery system to best suit my needs.

Where is each unit made. Thanks.

That was really an excellent comparison Tommy. If I were in the market, I'd jump on the Anker!

First time watching your videos so not sure if you have one but would love to see how it would do charging a Tesla. My friend wants to use one to charge his Tesla since he lives in a apartment complex. Would be easier for some extra charge so he does have to use a super charger as much.

I really appreciate you doing this video. ive been trying to decide between Bluette, eco flow, patriot, jackery and a couple other brands. I myself don't care about all the cell phone playing around apps ect,,. my concerns would be Ion phosphate lifepo4 long life, the anker's durability toughness, the portable features are nice, the quietness is not a big concern for me, recharge time is a great need and connectivity, and expansion is very important. i hear the display screen features could be improved. they could make a 90 degree plug that would be nice. I have a great idea for one of these companies I'm thinking about mentioning to them. May approach Anker maybe about it. If we have huge blackouts much cell service won't operate so I'm not too concerned with toying and playing with A phone app for amusement . the control features may be nice but put the money into reliability & durability and expandability.

Thanks, I took two of everything!

Thanks for this video!

Very practical review ever!!!

The Deltas fan are loud but if it protects my investment than I don't mind it so much. I run two Delta Pros, what I ended up doing was adding a sound barrier to the bottom of the laundry room door and putting up sound dampeners on the wall. Can't really hear it anymore throughout the house. The fans on the delta are louder than my heat pump water heater.

Delta Pro has the Smart Panel as a part of their ecosystem. Does Anker do anything similar?

It seems EcoFlow is upgrading it's Warranty, as their newest line of batteries also have a 5 year warranty.

The bag for the ecoflow 400 watt solar panel acts as a stand, that's what the clips are used for.

Can you charge either of these with any kind of solar panels? Can you charge them with a regular gas generator?

Can you check if the units you have all four NEMA 5-20R receptacles (the 4 AC plugs) on the front of my unit were mis-wired, and that hot and neutral are swapped?

I hope this is a simple question. The easiest way for me to connect the things I want to connect to the Anker 767 is by using a power strip with five connections, going into one of the AC outlets. For example, a modem, a router, a tv, and even, but not necessarily, a lamp. Can I do that without damaging the 767, or any of the items I connect to the power strip, and will it work? I don't want to try it until I get some kind of confirmation that it won't damage anything.
Thanks in advance for any info you might provide.

Obviosuly money is always a big factor. I still like the Eco Flow more. Thanks for the great review though.

A key consideration not mentioned is the noise level to operate these devices. How does that compare?

A well thought out video with a logical progression through the technical attributes and output data. One quick note specifically for your British audience ( ... and this Ex-pat sitting here in Massachusetts), be mindful that the "peace sign" you gave at the end of the video is basically showing the equivalent of the middle finger to us Brits. One should always show the "peace sign" with the palm of the hand facing forward, not the back. thx ;)

We’ve seen EV owners hook up inverters to their 12v’s and power small loads like the Anker 767 will do. My question is since the 767 has the inverter built in, could one theoretically use the solar DC input for the 767 as a way to recharge from an EV’s 12v?
In other words, power goes out, use the 767 initially and if the outage persists, then hook it up to your EV to extend run time during the outage. Thoughts?

Good review, thanks. Maybe a stupid question but when an firmware update will come, how to install it without wifi?

Unfortunately, the Anker's a deal breaker since it doesn't offer auto-start solar charging :' ( Also, when choosing a portable power station, people need to make sure the items they want to plug into the PPS will "actually" run for a while. The point being, smaller portable power station will not run certain items for very long, so make sure you get the right size PPS for the items you plan to run.

have you done any kind of test where the battery is cold or hot rather than room temperature? For example, if you put it in the garage, will it work at 50°F?

Nice intel, gracias for sharing mate, cheers...

Great video, this is really cool stuff

Finally a smart review! Followed!

When you said around 7:10 that you charge it with 80p watts, did you mean that you used the EF and the Anker panels together or that those panels from Anker are 2 400s?

GaN tech in large format batteries are a game-changer.

So many products you didn't even knew existed.
Anker makes good stuff no doubt.

Had a shot earlier in the week for 400 off on the Anker to 1600, but i was too late when I went back to get it

it looks like this technology is about to mature
I think 2-3 more years and I will grab one of these

EcoFlow also offers a 5 year warranty on their units. Just an FYI

Can either of these units be charged with a gas generator if solar isnt an option ?

Thank you for your review. I too would probably go with Anker. 5 years warranty is awesome but do you or anyone know about their customer service if you run into any issue with the unit. I have a Bluetti EB3A unit and having some issue with it. From many of Bluetti user, they also having issue with their customer service (like no response or ignore with email request.. etc). I hope Anker is not one of these company which great to sell you their product and horrible in customer service afterward (if needed). Thank you again for your review. I really enjoyed.

to be completely honest this isn"t a faire comparaison, the real competitor to the Anker is Delta 2 Max (same power figures) and cost less (1759$ today) than the anker.
Delta 2 Max + Extra battery (2KW) cost 2600 $

Solid review, and I appreciate concise assessment of the Anker product. Size, design, features and especially the solar panels were impressive. I was actually thinking it was indeed a better choice than the Delta Pro. I only wonder if the Anker's output ratings are sufficient. The difference is considerable. Maybe the difference between near full power supply with the Ecoflow as opposed to basic emergency requirements with the Anker. Got me thinking.

Awesome Information on Both Units. great Video!

Hi
what's the SURGE WATTS on the Anker 767 ?

Anker how ever a nice unit for sure. But still not a competitor to what the Pro can do. I would say Anker still in the expert class. If you wanna go pro, you go where the pros go! That’s over a 100v solar charging and dual charging!!
Still impressed with the delta pro especially with the smart gen. My whole rv set up is now becoming amazing and honestly so easy any one can do it.
Someone eventually will jump ahead, but who?

Good video.
The thumbs up came at the cardboard weed block🤣

What would recommend for full time off grid tv living?

is blue tooth pretty easy to hook up trying to connect to iPhone 14 worked on old unit I had to change out for other issues

Great honest video. Thans

My Echo Flo Delta Pro came with a 5 year warranty.

EASY!! haha Great video Tommy and an opportunity for us and for you to see that you can do amazing videos besides only lights on your channel. Maybe this will be a great inspiration for you. Hope you are safe and well.

Are your line/neutrals reversed on the AC plugs on the Anker?

Hi ..The ecoflow cam be charged at an EV point ..can the Anker powerhouse be charged via EV ?

Will it run a dryer?

Does the anchor have extra batteries?

Can you use it regularly like for your freezer and frig and window unit ? Or is it for backup power only?

Is the fast charge capabilities of both of these batteries?

Can I use my goal zero Boulder 200 briefcase solar panels with this Anker unit?

Thank you. Good work. ATWS!

The lighter power station is definitely a plus for women having to move the unit. Can a second ok md battery foe back up charging be just a deep cycling marine 12 volt battery?

This is a Chinese company would I have problems with the shipping? I really like the 767 generator and will probably buy one just worried about shipping. They probably have a warehouse in the US.

The anker is more comparable with the Delta Max. Except that the anker has LFP so a lot more cycles. Pretty sure EcoFlow is working on a new Delta max they will have LFP.

can you sync units together like the eco pro?

Thanks!
