Same size box, same energy per pound: the real choice is a bigger system against a lighter box with more surge.
The BLUETTI Apex 200 stores 2,560Wh, delivers 3,200W at 120V, takes 3,000W of solar, has a TT-30 for an RV and grows to 33.28kWh, at 59.3 lb. The EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max Plus stores 2,048Wh, delivers 3,000W with a 6,000W surge, takes 1,000W of solar and grows to about 10kWh, at 48.7 lb. Both reach 5 years of warranty, the EcoFlow once registered. EcoFlow lists a faster UPS, under 10ms against within 15ms, and a higher surge; the Apex 200 runs colder, down to −4°F. If you’ll build out solar or an RV, the Apex 200; if you carry it often or start motors, the DELTA 3 Max Plus.
Below: every difference with numbers, a 20-second calculator for your own gear, eight modeled situations, and what published reviews found on the DELTA 3 Max Plus. We found no full independent test of the Apex 200 yet.
Prices $50 apart today. Both fill about 36 L, run at 120V and have a 12V/30A Anderson port. The Apex 200 holds 512Wh more, takes 2,000W more solar and adds a TT-30; the DELTA 3 Max Plus is 10.6 lb lighter and lists a 6,000W surge and a sub-10ms UPS.

The five differences that decide it
Both are 120V LFP stations of about 36 L, with 20A outlets, USB-C, USB-A, a 12V socket and a 12V/30A Anderson port, and neither has wheels. These five gaps decide it.
Will it run your setup? Check in 20 seconds
Estimates use 85% usable capacity and 70% of rated solar output. Real results vary with temperature, inverter load, shade and appliance cycling. Fridge and freezer watts are daily averages and do not include compressor startup surges.
Runtime by appliance, one at a time
Simple energy estimates, not measured runtimes. About 2,176Wh usable on the Apex 200 and 1,741Wh on the DELTA 3 Max Plus. Reviewers got 1.64kWh (StorageReview, US unit) to 1,898Wh (The Technology Man, UK unit) from a DELTA 3 Max Plus; we found no measured figure for an Apex 200.
Appliance for appliance, the Apex 200 lasts 25% longer than the Max Plus.

The price gap, in numbers
The BLUETTI Apex 200 costs $50 less than the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max Plus and still holds 512Wh more.
Prices refresh daily from BLUETTI US and EcoFlow US.BLUETTI rates the Apex 200 at 6,000+ cycles to 70%. EcoFlow US doesn’t publish a cycle rating for the DELTA 3 Max Plus, so we show no cost-per-cycle card. Extra batteries are sold separately for both. Prices move often; our engine refreshes them daily.
Eight modeled situations, worked out
Same formula as the calculator above: 85% of the rated capacity, no extra battery unless stated. The fridge averages 60W, about 525kWh a year.
24-hour outage, essentials only
Almost a full day on the Apex 200, about 19 hours on the DELTA 3 Max Plus. That gap is the night shift of an outage.
Microwave, coffee maker and toaster together
Both stay under their rating. Spread the three across outlets: both brands allow 20A per outlet.
A well pump and a fridge starting together
EcoFlow lists a 6,000W surge for the DELTA 3 Max Plus. BLUETTI’s manual gives the Apex 200 3,840 to 4,800W for 10 seconds, or up to 5,400W with an expansion battery. The DELTA 3 Max Plus has more headroom; check your pump’s starting watts either way. Neither runs a 240V pump.
RV with a 30A inlet and 12V gear
The Apex 200 takes the 30A cord directly. The DELTA 3 Max Plus has no TT-30R, so a cord needs an adapter on a 20A outlet, which caps it at 20A. Both have a 12V/30A Anderson port.
Refill from solar, each at its maximum
With a full array the Apex 200 refills much faster, though 3,000W is a big roof: 2,000W through MC4 at 60 to 280V and 1,000W through XT60. With 1,000W of panels or less, the input stops mattering and the bigger Apex 200 battery takes longer to fill.
CPAP, how many nights
Almost a week on the Apex 200, more than five nights on the DELTA 3 Max Plus. Check with your device maker before relying on a UPS mode for medical gear.
Home office through an outage
About a day on either. EcoFlow lists under 10ms, and two reviewers measured about 8ms; the Apex 200 switches within 15ms, its UPS mode is off by default, and BLUETTI’s manual says it is not for data servers or workstations.
Growing to about 10kWh
Both get there. The DELTA 3 Max Plus stops at about 10kWh and needs EcoFlow’s Expansion Adapter for two batteries; the Apex 200 keeps going to 33.28kWh with six B500K, per BLUETTI.

06 · ChargingHow fast each one refills
Shorter bar, faster refill. Each row is scaled to its slower unit.
Apex 200: 80% in 45 minutes and full in about 1.6 h need Turbo, through the P050A port and an optional TT-30P or 14-50P cable. The included 15A cable takes 1,800W, and BLUETTI hasn’t published a time for it.Apex 200: Tyson’s Gear Lab says its early-access unit peaked at about 1,560W from a household outlet and has reported that to BLUETTI. It is one unit before sales opened; BLUETTI rates the included cable at 1,800W.DELTA 3 Max Plus: EcoFlow’s times come from its own labs; UK reviewers charged faster on 230V, which doesn’t apply to US units.
Our solar times assume panels deliver 70% of their rating; the brands’ figures assume ideal sun.
Every port, side by side
Apex 200
DELTA 3 Max Plus
Practical consequence: both have 20A outlets, a 140W USB-C, USB-A, a 12V socket and a 12V/30A Anderson port. The Apex 200 has three outlets plus a TT-30R, with 20A max per outlet and 3,200W in total. The DELTA 3 Max Plus has four outlets, no TT-30R, and its Anderson port shares 378W with the car socket.
08 · NoiseNoise: Apex 200 vs Max Plus
EcoFlow rates the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max Plus at 25dB or less at 600W, and The Technology Man barely registered it above room noise at full-power charging. BLUETTI’s US user manual gives the BLUETTI Apex 200 50 dB max, with no load stated, and we found no independent measurement.
A 600W point against a ceiling, so not like for like; the evidence for quiet is stronger on the DELTA 3 Max Plus.Every figure we found, with its source
What reviewers heard: Barely above room noise at 1 m while charging at full power (The Technology Man, UK unit); fans almost never on at a home office load (T3).
