Best large portable power station in 2024? Description: The original Delta Pro blew everyone’s mind because it was the first power station that could seriously replace large gas generators with its massive output and expansion. It was so popular it broke Kickstarter’s record for the most-funded project of all time but that was in 2021 and a lot has happened since then. The new Delta Pro 3 is a big re-design but is it good enough to keep the top spot in the large portable power station market? In this video, I’ll cover the top 6 upgrades in this new version, compare it to the larger Ultra, and cover my real world testing.
