$1,148 per usable kWh at Amazon prices checked October 3, 2026 ($279 for 243 usable Wh). How we work it out
Amazon links here are affiliate links: we may earn a commission, at no cost to you. It does not change our numbers. How that works.
Price checked October 3, 2026; Amazon shows today’s price. This is the listing we matched to the bare unit, not a bundle.
Planning figures: a typical fridge averages about 84 W; an older furnace blower averages about 182 W. Yours may use less or more; the range is in the table below. How long other power stations run a refrigerator. A furnace blower is wired in: it needs an inlet or transfer switch fitted by an electrician.
- Wall recharge
- up to 380 W from the wall; 0-100% in 60 min (380 W AC input)
- Extra batteries
- Yes, up to 858 Wh with the EB300 or EB600 extra battery
- Recalls
- no CPSC recall names this exact model (screened 2026-10-01)
Check you have the right model. Not the same as: EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus (a similar name, a different model: 1,024 Wh, 1,800 W); EcoFlow RIVER 3 (a similar name, a different model: 245 Wh, 300 W). Read the model name on the unit’s label, not the box or the listing.

The range behind that
This is a 286Wh battery with 600W of output, which means it stores about 243 watt-hours you can actually use and can run anything drawing up to 600 watts at once.
It runs indoors and makes no fumes. Of the 16 household loads we track, it can run 7 for at least part of a day.

What it can run
| Load | Running / starting | Starts it? | Typical | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phone charging and small USB devices | 10–40 W | starts it | about 35h | 10–122h |
| A few LED lights | 15–80 W | starts it | about 16h | 4.1–65h |
| Laptop and monitor | 45–150 W | starts it | about 4.7h | 1.6–14h |
| CPAP | 30–100 W | starts it | about 4.4h | 2.4–8.1h |
| Television | 40–250 W | starts it | about 4.4h | 1–20h |
| Garage door opener | 300–800 W
starts at up to 1,800 W |
may not start a hard-starting one | about 18 minutes of running time | short bursts |
| 12 V compressor fridge (camping) | 25–110 W
starts at up to 320 W |
starts it | about 13h | 4.4–39h |
Hours of use on one charge. Typical is the middle of our range for that appliance; the range runs from a hard-working unit to an efficient one. Short-burst loads (microwave, coffee maker, garage door) show running time at full power instead. “Starts it” means the peak output covers even a hard-starting one.
What a kilowatt-hour costs
| What | Amazon price | Usable energy | Per usable kWh |
|---|---|---|---|
| The station | $279 | 243 Wh | $1,148 |
Per usable kWh = Amazon price divided by usable energy. Usable energy is 85% of the maker’s battery size, the same share we use everywhere on this site. Station price checked October 3, 2026; we show prices only on the day they were checked and keep no price history.

Recall screen
No published recall names this exact model
No CPSC recall in the 2026-10-01 snapshot names this exact model (1 recalls name the brand; none names this model).
This check cannot clear your own unit. Most recalls cover only certain serial numbers. Read the model and serial number off the label on the unit itself, then check the maker's recall page before you use it, sell it, or buy it.
Use the CPSC recall search.
How we know the screen was not simply blind
Finding nothing only means something if the search could have found something. So we searched the same records for this brand and got 1 recall. That proves the screen can see this brand, so finding nothing for this model is a real result.
Buying the right one
Verified listing — the bare unit
ASIN B0DCCB657J · $279.00 when checked on October 3, 2026 · purchasable
Title states 286Wh and [760]W with the exact model name and no variant word; the listing's own bullet states the 600W rated output the maker lists: 'table power station delivers a steady 600W and surges to 1200W'. Prices change: Amazon shows today’s price.
Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you buy through one we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. It does not affect which products the planner recommends: rankings come from the sizing rules on our methodology page, and a product whose recall status is unclear is never ranked or linked, whatever the commission.
