OP here. Perhaps as a helpful comparison, I have been considering the Tesla Powerwall. The current version is spec'ed to have 13.5kWh accessible at around $10,500, before installation, permitting, and other accessory parts. Plus, Tesla no longer sells this without bundling with Tesla solar. There are other brands that sell battery backups for the home these days, but I trust Tesla for the battery cells at the moment.

With the Tesla pricing, that's about $778/kWh (without taxes, installation, circuitry, etc), and the Powerwall is not portable, if that matters to some of us.
With the EcoFlow pricing, it's $791/kWh (without taxes and still need something like a power transfer switch installed) at the Costco price or $1,000/kWh (at the EcoFlow retail price of $3,600) and $750/kWh for the extension batteries (at the EcoFlow retail price of $2,699).

I consider the EcoFlow Delta Pro model as a DIY (as someone else has put it) starter version of a home battery backup system, with some other benefits, such as having clean energy for camping and other peripheral uses. To have it fully able to be a home backup system for a decent amount of time (12-24 hours), I will probably need 4 of these linked in series, which might be the max at this point in time. With ~14kWh, that should be more than enough for my essential needs, if I turn off non-essentials. (I'm using around 6-8kWh for essentials per day and about 12-14kWh for a typical day that includes non-essentials, too. This is in San Francisco, so no A/C.)

Delta Pro cannot do everything a gas generator can do, but not everybody lives in a residence that is conducive to running a gas generator. For example, If you're in a small apartment, where are you going to run the gas generator? If the power is out because of a violent storm or hurricane weather, are you going to set up the generator outside in that situation?

The Delta Pro can power essential things for at least a few hours in a serious pinch.

It's just additional capacity. It has a purpose.

Just waiting for the right deal to drop in one into the box. I think I can fit a 100AH inside, and it'll give me full use of the capacity. And my friend who builds these trail welders showed me an additional component that lets the welder use a single12V battery. We tested it on my single 12V AGM and it worked on some 1/4 steel pulled a little over 100A via the shunt meter I have on the battery case, while running.

Just think how much better it would be with LiFePO4 instead of AGM.

EcoFlow Delta Pro I believe uses li-ion nmc instead of lifepo4. Lithium Iron Phosphate (lifepo4) batteries last 4-5 times longer and are safer--less prone to heat-related problems.

I have a Bluetti AC200P with 2000Wh and LifePO4 batteries and I like it a lot for extended 'glamping' trips although Bluetti's prices have gone up and there are alternatives. I would be wary of any home setup that isn't using LifePO4 since the longer life of the system means more time to recoup your investment thus lower total cost of ownership/savings.

I could be wrong on these points so feel to fact check me and chime in.

UPDATE: I think I'm wrong on this and the MAX product uses LifePO4

All valid, except the Delta Pro is the one unit they built with LiFePo, rest are NCM.

edit: DOH!, should have kept reading..

Interesting, based on the pictures and the specs, it looks like the ports of a Delta but with the body of a River Pro.

It depends on your location.
All batteries are affected by cold, and then heat. Some more than others. LiFEPo4 seem to handle the cold / heat in a static situation better than other types.

Bought the River Pro. Wanted it to solely run my forced air furnace's fan if I lose power in the winter. It has enough power for that. Then only overnight. I can use my small generator during the day, and charge this back up. I live in a city, don't need my generator growing legs while I'm trying to sleep.

I know I can build something better for less. I will in the future. This gets me something and I can take out with me if desired.

For those that bought the River Pro with the extra battery. Have you notice that it would drain the Main battery first before it drains the extra battery? I would have thought it should drain both at the same time or the extra battery first.

I think it drained the additional battery first. After unplugged it for a couple months but in standby mode, my additional battery was completely drained while the main unit still has around 40% left.

Was curious to hear some of the uses people have for the portable stations, in this case, the River Pro sized unit. I've considered items like this (Anker Powerhouse, Jackery, etc) in the past, but not sure I really need it right now.

My main use cases would be camping, which I do plenty of - but don't generally go crazy with electronics. I can get by keeping phones/speakers charged with portable battery banks for the most part.

Places where I could see it being useful: I'm sometime wanting to upgrade the lighting situation while camping. Not always - but it happens. Do people use plug in lights? Battery powered?
I do also bring a couple Milwaukee or Ryobi batteries to run a light/saw/compressor if it's needed, but don't have a way to bring a battery charger.
