Price

At $3,699.00, the EcoFlow DELTA Pro is notably more attractive to budget-conscious buyers than the Mango Power E, which is priced at $3,999.00. However, the price disparity reflects differences in features and capacities, which we'll get into next.

Winner: EcoFlow DELTA Pro

Capacity And Performance

This is a close one. In terms of capacity and output, the DELTA Pro takes the lead, but it is only modestly better at 3,600Wh and 3,600W.

In terms of charging ports, the Mango Power E takes a slight edge with 16 vs. 15 in the DELTA Pro - however, the DELTA Pro has one more (5) of the much-desired AC ports than the Mango Power E (4).

Where the Mango Power E shines is in its significantly higher solar input. With a whopping 2,000W of solar charging available, it is a compelling option for off-grid living, camping, and emergency backup.

Durability and Build Quality

At an IP rating of IP21, the Mango Power E's weather resistance is limited. While it can withstand some outdoor elements, it is not designed for harsh or extreme weather conditions.

This IP rating means the Mango Power E is:

• Protected from vertically falling water drops (dripping water). This allows for some use outdoors in light rain or drizzle, but it should not be exposed to heavy downpours or direct water spray.
• Not protected from dust ingress. This means dust and small particles can enter the device, potentially impacting its performance and longevity.
• Operating Temperature:
• Charging: 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
• Discharging: -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F)

The Mango Power E can be used in a wider range of temperatures while discharging than while charging. However, it is still not recommended for use in extreme cold or heat.

Meanwhile, the EcoFlow DELTA Pro boasts a moderate level of weather resistance, with a rating of IP20.

This IP rating means it is protected from solid objects exceeding 12mm in diameter, such as fingers and tools, but it is not fully dustproof or water resistant.

Here's a breakdown of the EcoFlow DELTA Pro's weather resistance:

• Dust resistance is limited. While the IP20 rating indicates some protection against large objects, it’s not entirely dustproof. Dust buildup over time might affect the internal components, particularly the fan.
• Water resistance: None. The IP20 rating does not offer any protection against water or moisture. Exposure to rain, snow, or splashes could damage the electrical components.
• Operating Temperature:
• Charging: -10°C~45°C (14℉~113℉)
• Discharging: -20°C~45°C (-4℉~113℉)

The DELTA Pro's temperature resistance is moderate. Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures might affect its performance and lifespan.

Overall, both power stations are suitable for indoor use or sheltered outdoor environments. It's important to avoid exposing them to direct sunlight, rain, snow, or excessive dust.

Expandability

The maximum expandable capacity of the Mango Power E depends on the specific model you choose:

• Mango Power E (3.5kWh): This base model can be expanded by 7.06kWh with the addition of one Mango Power E Battery.
• Mango Power E Premium Home Backup Kit (14kWh): This powerhouse preconfigured kit includes two Mango Power E units and two Mango Power E Batteries. This provides a maximum capacity of 14kWh without the need for additional purchases.

The EcoFlow DELTA Pro boasts an impressive maximum expandable capacity of 25kWh. This means you can significantly increase its initial 3.6kWh capacity to meet your specific power needs:

• EcoFlow DELTA Pro (3.6kWh): The based model can be expanded to 7.2kWh with the addition of the DELTA Pro Smart Extra Battery. This same double capacity can be achieved by connecting two DELTA Pro units with EcoFlow's Double Voltage Hub.
• Two Smart Extra Batteries (10.8kWh): Add two batteries to the DELTA Pro and expand to 10.8kWh.
• Additional DELTA Pro Smart Extra Batteries: Each unit adds 2.8kWh
• 2 DELTA Pro units + 2 DELTA Pro Smart Extra Batteries + EcoFlow Dual Fuel Smart Generator (21.6 kWh).

While both devices offer expandability options, the EcoFlow DELTA Pro provides far more versatility in expanding battery capacity through additional batteries and generators, offering a scalable energy solution.

Portability

Well, there is very little difference here.

While the Mango Power E is more compact than the DELTA Pro, making it slightly easier to transport compared to its larger counterpart, the difference is not significant.

The weight is virtually the same and both units can be transported with included wheels and handles.

Charging Options

Both devices have the same charging options available:

• AC Charging
• 12V Car Charging
• EV Charging
• Solar Charging
• External Generator Charging

The difference between the two is the estimated charging times for each option. Which one is better? Well, the depends on what your preferred charging option will be. If you're charging with solar, the Mango Power E is superior. If you're charging with at an EV station, the DELTA Pro wins.
