Solar Generator RIVER 3 with 60W Solar Panel, 245Wh Portable Power Station LFP Battery, 300W Up to 600W AC Output, <20 MS UPS, 1Hr Fast Charging Power Station for Outdoor/RVs

So I bought this because the company had good reviews and I really liked the idea of having a portable power station to charge things on the go, but also have it serve as a potential POOP-HITS-THE-FAN emergency backup to power a fridge or something for a short time. It's clearly under-powered for that sort of thing, but it still COULD do it. I like that flexibility! Lo and behold, it has started to change my entire life! Suddenly I realized that I could have electric power in that old tool shed that has just served as a storage bin for old toys and mowers. That inspired me to clean up and order the shed, to put in shelving, and more! A few weeks later I also bought my first e-bike, and now I can store it in the shed and recharge the thing without navigating through the garage or removing the battery. This little unit is definitely too small for what I use it for-- it probably has enough juice to recharge 50% of my e-bike in one go, but that's OK! The unit itself is so compact that its easier to charge IT back at the house than move my tools or bike to where the electric is at. That's the beauty of this technology! After a few days of doing that, I realized that there was an even lazier solution I could use: solar! YEP, I could hook up some solar panels on that same shed and it'll recharge the unit automatically and, essentially, my shed is both off-grid and fully electric. I appreciate that it does all of the technical stuff I don't understand, so I just plug in the solar panels and it converts that into sweet, sweet tool juice. The app is also absolutely fantastic- It's fun to see how much it is charging or discharging at any given time. This has inspired me to buy the much bigger brother, a Delta 2, and a 160 watt solar panel to really complete the job. My plans for that are outside the scope of a review of the River 2, but it's worth mentioning that this little device inspired so much madness. So, in conclusion--watch out. This is a gateway device to much larger toys and an increasingly eco-sensitive lifestyle. EDIT: After enjoying this product for about six months now, I wanted to give a quick update. I still LOVE it, especially for the cost and size. It still powers my e-bike on completely solar energy. I use the Delta 2 to recharge this unit on overcast days using USB-C 100watt cables (ends up pulling in about 54watts), and that allows me to reap a little benefit from the Delta 2's 500watt solar input potential (the River 2 can only pull in 110watts max). Another thing to be aware of is that I did have some recent issues with the unit no longer displaying AC charging numbers and no longer pulling a charge through USB-C. This happened after a Firmware update. I contacted support, and the good news is that an updated Firmware update came out three days later that fixed these problems. It was over a weekend, so I didn't get a reply from Support until after it was fixed again, but it is something to be aware of. The Firmware updates sometimes bring new features, but if you have this as backup to a life-saving device, I think you'll want to time those updates to times when the impact would be lessened.

The EcoFlow portable power station is compact, powerful, and easy to use. It features multiple charging ports, including AC outlets and USB options, making it perfect for camping, travel, or emergency backup. Its sleek design and clear display screen make monitoring battery life simple and convenient. A dependable power solution wherever you go.

I use my River 2 sinewave power station in my off grid shed for low power electronics, indoor light, and 40 watt spotlight with a 5 minute timer set. it works perfectly as intended especially when paired with 110w solar panel so its always charged up and ready to go in the future! Its a solid built device especially when used as designed to serve low energy devices. RIVER 2 has 256Wh state of the art LiFePO4 Battery and a method to rapidly charge in 1 Hour, that's incredibly fast against my older end of life portable power products. Another nice to have, River 2 also connects to an app via Bluetooth which means future updates and improvements. At the current time of writing this review, Jan 20 2023 At a price of $249 I'd say its a fair asking price for the level of features you'll receive investing in this unit. If sales promotions price dips to sub $200, id say that's incredible value and time to jump and that's exactly how I received mine. Undoubtedly this portable power station anyone can find a use; let it be located at your place of work or a gathering where AC power is extremely limited or not readily available to you. First I'll address the size, its light weight and easy for anyone to carry or move. that's due to limited capacity but for two hundred and change in US dollars that's the going rate of LFE battery at about 1 USD to 1 watt hour. LifePO4 battery chemistry has been the answer to longevity over its big brother Lithium Ion that's commonly found in your smartphones. close to a decade of daily use verses 3 years on lithium ion. I don't know about you, the time it takes to charge is very important and that's incredible value this kind of battery chemistry! The app, is so easy to use. Go to the Appstore or Play Store: download the ecoflow app. Its so easy to connect no extra accessories to buy in doing so, best of all its free. It shows everything for power details at the ports. The only strange bug I've notice is if the low power devices under 14 watts don't show the power draw just the remaining power. Last, the small power station noise level is not noticeably loud when the fan comes on to cool itself down. A huge important over previous power stations especially at nighttime. My advice, curb your expectations for use of this device. NO high end equipment, Its not used for your coffee maker, hair dryer microwave or small fridge. there are bigger models of ecoflow power stations to serve those needs albeit triple the price tag. 256 WHr isn't a crazy ton of power storage and it maxes out at 300 watt continuous pull with x boast feature turned off to keep sinewave protection for s. In fact when the inverter is powered on, the invertor function will consume about a quarter of the storage to produce 12v/5v and 110v power output. Best advice, keep the ports off in order to preserve its storage until you need it to serve it use! last and important review is on ecoflow customer support. Now everyone experience can differ, mine was surprisingly great due to ecoflow support going above and beyond to make the matter right. Using amazon support I ran into a promotion offer for the additional accessory. At first Amazon supports message came with no empathy and the attitude of your mistake, sorry but your issue and please go away. after three calls for the same problem I was finally put in touch with ecoflow channel using amazon chat and email service. ecoflow was prompt to answer and worked on it to make it right. the delivery was fast at neck break speeds as we grown to enjoy and expect. Would I buy another product from EcoFlow, YES absolutely. Would I recommend, Absolutely assuming practical use came up in topic Ecoflow features in a small package is incredible. My only disclaimer is the life of the product. Although LifePO4 or LFE chemisty is a decade of use, I cant claim this unit will live up to daily use of this since its really new. Fast charge im sure will impact the life cycle, the mppt, charge controller and inverters are all failure points, however with a outstanding 5 year warranty, i'll happy believe ecoflow will be around for the next decade to deliver on that promise.

I recently purchased the ECOFLOW RIVER 2 power station, and it’s been a fantastic addition to my outdoor and emergency gear. The battery capacity is great for a compact device, easily powering my phone, laptop and so on. It’s incredibly lightweight and portable, which makes it easy to carry along, and the recharge time is impressive. I have been using this when camping or trips on my car helping me charge Phone, Camera, laptop and mini fans. At home it helps powering my Cooler, Laptop, Phone and Monitor when power failure. I hardly think if there is any alternative in Indian market with these features. Best innovation I would say with the digital display, different charging and recharging options, phone connectivity and support. I heard they have a portable AC, hope that too will get available in India soon. For anyone looking for a reliable, portable power solution, the RIVER 2 is a solid choice. Highly recommend it!

Como aficionado a la fotografía de paisajes y alguien que teletrabaja con frecuencia desde lugares poco convencionales, siempre estoy a la caza del equilibrio perfecto entre portabilidad y potencia. He probado innumerables power banks y estaciones de energía que prometían mucho, pero siempre fallaban en algo: o eran demasiado pesadas, o tardaban una eternidad en cargarse, o simplemente no ofrecían los puertos que necesitaba. La EcoFlow River 2 no solo ha resuelto estos problemas, sino que ha superado mis expectativas de una forma que no creía posible para un dispositivo de este tamaño. Para ponerla a prueba, me llevé la River 2 a una escapada de fin de semana a una cabaña sin electricidad. El plan era editar fotos, mantener mi dron cargado y, por supuesto, no quedarme sin batería en el móvil ni en los auriculares. La River 2, con sus escasos 3.5 kg de peso, fue una compañera de viaje imperceptible. Esto es todo lo que alimentó sin problemas: MacBook Pro (14 pulgadas): Una carga completa mientras trabajaba. Baterías de Dron: Dos cargas completas. iPhone 14 Pro: Tres cargas completas. Auriculares con cancelación de ruido: Una carga completa. Incluso después de todo este uso, aún quedaba energía. Pero lo más impresionante fue que, antes de salir, la había cargado de 0 a 100% en lo que tardé en ducharme y prepararme el desayuno. La velocidad de carga de 60 minutos es, sencillamente, revolucionaria. Análisis Detallado: Lo Bueno y lo Mejorable Aunque mi experiencia ha sido abrumadoramente positiva, aquí desgloso los puntos clave: PROS: Velocidad de Carga X-Stream: Cargar la unidad por completo en una hora desde una toma de CA es el punto de inflexión más grande. Se acabaron las esperas de 8 horas. Esto te da una flexibilidad increíble, ideal para viajes de última hora. Batería LiFePO4: Saber que la batería está diseñada para más de 3000 ciclos de carga me da una tranquilidad enorme. Esto se traduce en CASI 10 años de uso regular, una inversión a largo plazo que la diferencia de la competencia. Portabilidad y Diseño Inteligente: Pensaba que era medio pesada pero no, super ligera (3.5 kg) y su asa trasera deja la superficie superior libre, algo muy práctico para colocar los dispositivos que estás cargando (el drone, el celular, etc.) Versatilidad de Puertos: Con salidas de CA, USB-A y un puerto USB-C de 60W, cubre el 99% de las necesidades de carga de aparatos electrónicos de consumo. El modo X-Boost que permite alimentar aparatos de hasta 600W es un extra fantástico para pequeñas herramientas o electrodomésticos (como un pequeño refrigerador que puse a prueba con la bateria) Función EPS (Fuente de Alimentación de Emergencia): La capacidad de conmutar a la batería en menos de 30 ms en caso de apagón es una característica premium. La he dejado conectada a mi router de internet en casa, y durante un microcorte, ni me di cuenta de que se había ido la luz. PUNTOS A MEJORAR: Un solo puerto USB-C: En un mundo donde el USB-C es cada vez más el estándar, un segundo puerto sería la perfección. Tuve que elegir entre cargar mi laptop o mis auriculares directamente por USB-C. Ruido del ventilador durante la carga rápida: La unidad se refrigera activamente durante la carga a máxima velocidad y el ventilador es audible. No es un ruido molesto, pero es algo a tener en cuenta si estás en un entorno muy silencioso. Eficiencia de carga: Noté que la eficiencia de la carga desde la red es de alrededor del 80%, lo cual es aceptable, pero otros modelos pueden ser un poco más eficientes. Sin embargo, es un pequeño precio a pagar por la increíble velocidad de carga. Conclusión Final: ¿Para Quién es la EcoFlow River 2? La EcoFlow River 2 no es simplemente una batería grande; es una estación de energía portátil inteligentemente diseñada que destaca en los aspectos más importantes: velocidad de carga, longevidad y portabilidad. La recomiendo sin dudar a: Nómadas digitales y teletrabajadores: Que necesitan una fuente de energía fiable y ligera para trabajar desde cualquier lugar. Aficionados al aire libre (camping, RVs): Perfecta para mantener cargados todos tus gadgets durante escapadas de fin de semana. Fotógrafos y operadores de drones: Para asegurar que nunca te quedes sin batería en el momento crucial. Cualquier persona que busque una solución de respaldo para emergencias en el hogar: Ideal para mantener funcionando dispositivos esenciales como un CPAP, el router de internet o un pequeño acuario durante un apagón. Si valoras la velocidad, la fiabilidad a largo plazo y un diseño compacto y ligero, la EcoFlow River 2 es, en mi opinión, la mejor estación de energía portátil en su categoría de precio y capacidad. Es una compra que harás una vez y te servirá durante años.

Un respaldo de energía que utilizo de manera muy efectiva con mi acuario cuando se necesita. funciona perfectamente para mantener varias horas funcionando 1 generador de olas o una bomba de retorno con el propósito de mantener flujo de oxigeno para los peces.

Perfeito! Tenho dois para uso em casa e em viagens. Qualidade indiscutível. Recomendo

O carregamento é rápido qdo tem sol. Deu certo p minha geladeira, tv, chuveiro e internet (claro que para um aparelho de cada vez).
