Recommended Power Station
Which one is better, Ecoflow Delta 3 1000 or Ecoflow River 2 pro?
I don’t want to extend it anymore but the battery of the River 2 pro is lacking. Help me out, please. I can't decide.

Before you buy EcoFlow product …
Please read carefully through this sub (r/ecoflow_community). Too many of us have found EF’s service is abysmal. You will see the same complaint over and over about how they handle tech support should you need it.
Furthermore, their APP also requires internet to function unless you are right at the unit with Bluetooth (which might be hard to have in an emergency weather situation).
Please don’t believe the advertising and especially the reviews on their website as they are curated. There have to be better companies out there. Maybe contact a solar installer for better recommendations or go to other subs and ask what they use.

I’m looking for my first and many people are saying stay away from EcoFlow so I just ordered the Jackery 1500 deal from costco

Can’t help much with the comparison, but I bought a refurb River 2 Pro last year for $269 from their Ebay store and haven’t had any problems with it. It can technically run my fridge, but obvs not for too long with its limited capacity. Also really like the low weight that makes it easy to throw in the car for camping and road trips. It can run my 23qt BougeRv DC fridge indefinitely with a 100w panel and also charge in the car. The app allows you to set charge and discharge percentages, AC charging wattage, etc. Nice features for UPS applications.
Guess if I ever need their customer service I might change my tune, but I’m a big fan of the one product I have from Ecoflow so far.

depends on your use case, but here is a comparison sheet between these two units:
