Wrong mains standard — nothing to time — it will not run see why below ↓
Not the watts — the voltage. This load is built for a 230 V mains standard and this build outputs 120 V. Nothing about its capacity enters into it: a larger machine on the same output voltage would fail in exactly the same way. What has to change is the output voltage, not the size of the machine.

No power rails: watts do not decide this page — the mains standard does.
Two numbers decide this, and readers use them interchangeably: watts are the ceiling on what the inverter holds at any instant, watt-hours are how much energy the battery holds. A machine can have plenty of one and not enough of the other.
The verdict is a calculation, not a lookup. What it will not do is print a runtime, and the reason is specific: there is nothing to time. A runtime for a load this machine will not start is a figure about nothing.
Where those numbers come from
A blank is never left blank. A field we have found no figure for says so, and a field whose sources disagree — two documents, or one document with itself — says that instead of picking one.
No usable-capacity figure for this machine
EcoFlow states a nameplate watt-hour number for it, and we read 3 of EcoFlow’s own published documents on 2026-08-08 and found no depth of discharge or inverter efficiency for the US 120 V build in them. Dividing the nameplate by this load would be wrong by 20–35% in the flattering direction, so this page shows the nameplate for what it is and refuses to turn it into hours.

The surge ceiling on this page is ours, not the manufacturer’s
We have found no published surge rating for the US 120 V build. So the start-up check runs against the continuous output instead — an inverter cannot surge below what it sustains, which makes that the safest number we can defend. Real inverters usually manage 1.5–2× their continuous rating, so a start-up call held back by this figure may well be fine in practice; we are not going to say so until the manufacturer does.
Energy rate instead of a runtime
560 Wh per hour averaged over this load’s duty cycleThis number needs no battery figure at all, which is why this page can give it when it cannot give hours. Divide any usable-capacity figure you trust by it and you have your own runtime, with our arithmetic visible instead of hidden.
What a mini-split heat pump demands
This machine has no single running wattage — the band is its own, not a spread across models. Every verdict below is computed at the top of it, 560 W.
The engine checked 1,740 W — where a record publishes both an absolute inrush and a multiple of running power, the more demanding of the two is used rather than the flattering one.
The inverter is loaded to 1,933 VA — 1,740 W ÷ 0.90 — which is the quantity its ceiling is actually measured against. Those are not the watts in the row above: this load modulates, so the verdict is taken at the top of the range its record publishes rather than at the rated point.
Start-up figure Manufacturer nameplate (locked-rotor)
The start-up figure is the manufacturer’s own locked-rotor rating, off a spec sheet for a real model in this class — not a category multiple. Where a standards table and the nameplate disagree, this library uses the nameplate: the standards figure is a selection envelope for breakers and controllers, and sizing a battery to it over-specifies the machine by two to four times.
What the EcoFlow STREAM Ultra offers
This figure is ours, not the brand’s: the continuous rating used as a conservative floor because we have found no surge rating for the US 120 V build.
What this page is not going to sell you
There is no buy button on this page, and that is the finding rather than an omission: the EcoFlow STREAM Ultra does not run a mini-split heat pump. A price here would be a sale, not an answer.
