What will an EcoFlow STREAM Ultra run? (EU)

A “1,200 W” power station is two numbers wearing one label. Watts are the ceiling on what you can switch on at once; watt-hours are how much energy is in the battery. The EcoFlow STREAM Ultra holds 1,200 W and stores 1,920 Wh on the nameplate — and those two facts answer two different questions.

This page answers the first one. We have found no published depth of discharge or inverter efficiency for the EU build. Without one of the two there is no defensible usable-capacity figure, and this page will not turn the nameplate into hours.

We have found no published surge rating for the EU build. The figure shown is a conservative floor taken from the continuous output — an inverter cannot surge below what it sustains — and is not a manufacturer specification.

No usable-capacity figure for the EU build

EcoFlow states a nameplate watt-hour number for it, and we have found no published depth of discharge or inverter efficiency for the EU build. Dividing the nameplate by a load would be wrong by 20–35%, so this page shows the nameplate for what it is and refuses to turn it into hours.

What EcoFlow STREAM Ultra runs

Every row is a live calculation against this machine's continuous output, surge ceiling and inverter waveform — running watts, start-up inrush and duty cycle on the appliance side. Of 38 appliance profiles, 13 run, 7 are a tight fit and 18 are out of reach. The percentage is the load as a share of continuous output; anything past 82% drops out of the green.

One caveat that applies to every row: we have found no published surge rating for this model, so each start-up check runs against the continuous output as a conservative floor. Real inverters usually manage 1.5–2× that, so a row held back by the surge check may well be fine in practice — we will not say so until the manufacturer does.

Solar panels this machine can legally take

The binding constraint is voltage, not watts: open-circuit voltage RISES as it gets colder, and an array that is fine at noon can be over the MPPT ceiling at dawn. Each row is the engine's largest legal array for this station, with Voc corrected to -10 °C ambient . Only panels whose datasheet publishes a voltage temperature coefficient are evaluated — the others cannot be corrected, and an under-corrected array is what destroys an MPPT input.

Every field we hold on this machine

Each figure carries the tier it came from and the date it was checked. A blank is never left blank: a field we have found no figure for says so, and a field two manufacturer sources disagree about says that instead of picking one.

AC output

What the inverter can hold, what it can start, and what shape the wave is.

Continuous output 1,200 W Official spec · verified 2026-08-01 · high confidence
Surge ceiling 1,200 W Derived by WattPair · low confidence

Questions people ask about this machine

Will an EcoFlow STREAM Ultra run a full-size refrigerator?
Yes. Against the EU record, the full-size refrigerator draws 55 W running · 286 W at start-up — 4.6% of this machine's continuous output. That verdict is a calculation from running watts, start-up surge and inverter waveform, not a lookup, and the full working is one click away in the table above.
Why can't an EcoFlow STREAM Ultra run an electric space heater (1500 W)?
On the EU record the binding constraint is the continuous output. The electric space heater (1500 W) needs 2,000 W running · 2,000 W at start-up, and at 167% of continuous output there is no headroom to give. No accessory fixes this one — it takes a machine with a bigger inverter.
How long will an EcoFlow STREAM Ultra run my appliances?
We will not put a number on it, and that is deliberate. A runtime needs a usable-capacity figure, and we have found no published depth of discharge or inverter efficiency for the EU build — only a nameplate watt-hour rating. Dividing that nameplate by your load produces a confident-looking figure that is typically 20–35% too high. What this page gives you instead is every load's energy rate in watt-hours per hour, which needs no battery figure at all and is the number you actually size against.
Can you take an EcoFlow STREAM Ultra on a plane?
No. At 1,920 Wh it is far above the 160 Wh ceiling that airlines apply to lithium batteries in the cabin, and lithium batteries of this size are not accepted in checked baggage either. The 100 Wh / 160 Wh thresholds come from the IATA dangerous-goods rules that carriers implement; check your airline before travelling, because the approval step above 100 Wh is theirs to give.
Is the EU EcoFlow STREAM Ultra the same as the US one?
No, and we keep them as two separate records for that reason. The mains standards differ, which changes the outlets, the certifications and the charging figures. Where the brand publishes different numbers for the two, this page shows only the ones for the EU version.
