ECOFLOW Portable Power Station RIVER 2 Pro 800W 768Wh 240,000mAh

We recently picked up this unit along with an ECOFLOW Delta 2 and solar panels at the substantial Memorial Day Sale. All told I think we saved over $1,000 vs. the typical price. and feel a bit more prepared for the heavy hurricane season we're anticipating here in Florida. We're very pleased.LIKESOVERALL IMPRESSIONS - This is a handsome, nicely made piece of equipment. It feels solid in every way and with the built-in handle it's very easy to pick up and carry about, as long (as you're not going too far!) The layout with the display and A/C outputs all on the same side is better than on the Delta 2.USE AS EPSECOFLOW advertises that you can leave these units plugged into wall power with your devices connected on a pass-through basis, and the unit will seamlessly take over when the wall power fails, which was what I wanted. It works. They're careful to say the switchover from wall to battery power may not be quick enough to keep some computers from shutting down (like a true "UPS") but my laptop with its own battery never blinked. The app reported this tiny cube would run my cable modem, router, laptop, smart speaker, and dual 20" monitors for about 7 hours; or a bit more with the external monitors off. We work from home, and this will be a great help in power outages large or small.BATTERY CHEMISTRYGlade to see the Lifepo4 chemistry that trades a bit of energy density for roughly 3x the charge cycles. This unit should last as long as we need itCAPACITYWe decided on this unit and a Delta 2 instead of one bigger unit so we can place them around the house, plugged in to critical devices and ready to go in an emergency. At 700+ claimed watt hours, this is substantial backup power source in a very compact, easy to carry package. We have this one set up in a bedroom to take over lights and run a fan. It will be nice for every single thing in the house to not go black the second we lose power, which even without hurricanes happens a few times a year in our area.APPECOFLOW's app is slick, sophisticated and great to use. I like the images of the respective devices that lets you look at each one in turn, and that both this and the Delta 2 can connect to Bluetooth and Wi-fi. The Delta took a while to get it to connect to our network, but the little RIVER 2 PRO connected instantly. Just a breeze to set up.NOT SO LIKESNot much with this unit, frankly. It's a little odd that both this and the larger Delta 2 we bought won't register the amount of power being drawn if it's below a certain level. For example, we moved the Delta 2 to my home office and set this one up to run a couple of small LED lights, a larger LED lamp, and an Echo 5 smart speaker/alarm clock in the bedroom, with plans to connect a tower fan in the event of a summer blackout. With the fan running, it will show the power draw (about 40 watts total) but with just the lights and the Amazon device, it shows 0 output, although it will still calculate runtime. Good to know it will run the small items a long time though.SUMMARY/RECOMMENDATIONThis is a great device. I'd almost suggest getting more of these for the kind of setup we have, except I'm not sure the little RIVER 2 PRO would do as well with my wife's electric kettle, which runs perfectly from the Delta 2 and is a necessity for making sure she is properly caffeinated (which is more of a necessity for my personal safety and comfort than it might seem).For car camping or running a kiosk or something, it would be absolutely perfect in many circumstances. I have no notes for ECOFLOW except that more power for less money is always appreciated.FIVE STARS

Perfecto

Bought in prime day sale with few thousand discount. Working as expected. Portability is main selling point for ecoflow. Use full for outdoor camping and overlanding. Tech Support is good in ecoflow india. Can use 1 tv 1 fan laptop n mobile chargering and internet router for 4 to 5 hours during shutdown. For night power cut you can use for 8 hours of table fan.Suits my need of portability and solar compatible and charge through car lighter port for long drive and car camping.

Es un excelente producto.Lo compre para una cabaña fuera de la ciudad donde no hay luz.He podido estar alimentando la cabaña con todos sus focos (6 focos led), accionar la bomba para el agua, cargar celulares y hasta una televisión de 32" por un par de horas y no se ha terminado la carga.Les recomiendo mucho conocer los consumos de los aparatos, si hacen esto podrán calcular bastante bien su necesidad. Es un excelente producto ahora me arrepiento de no haber comprado el mas grande.

I recently purchased the EcoFlow River 2 after wanting something a little smaller for more frequent outings. As an outdoor enthusiast and remote worker, having a reliable power source is essential, and the River 2 Pro has proven to be exceedingly capable.Coming from the Delta 2 I had high hopes for the River 2 Pro and I wasn't disappointed! I was surprised the colors of the plastics between the Delta and the River differed, but the overall build quality was spot on. The River 2 Pro is SO much easier to carry around, partly due to the larger handle but also due to it weighing 10 pounds less, that weight is very noticeable.The River 2 Pro is surprisingly versatile, with enough ports to charge and power various devices simultaneously. Not that I necessarily do that, it was awesome to see that you can use all the ports at the same time and have it chug along with no problem. Was able to charge my iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, ASUS G14, Panasonic Camera, Phone, small battery bank, 12v fridge, and even a toaster! All at the same time. Color me impressed.One of the most significant upgrades in the River 2 Pro is the LFP battery chemistry, like the Delta 2, which allows for over 3000 charge cycles which gives great peace of mind that this unit is going to last and have no fear of actually using it.  On some of my old Lithium Ion battery banks I was nervous about using too frequently and shortening it's life, that worry has all but disappeared with the Delta 2 and River 2 Pro.Additionally, the new battery technology enables faster charging – approximately an hour using AC (at 940W) and 3.5 hours using solar (at 220W). Living in Washington state we see our fair share of overcast days, especially in late winter / early spring. And despite that, the River 2 Pro matched the capability of the Delta 2 using the EcoFlow 220W bifacial portable solar panel. This is a game-changer for those who need a quick and efficient power source.  I tend to turn down the AC charge a bit when I don't need a charge right away, this helps the batteries life span in the long run and keeps things a bit quieter. Speaking of which, the River 2 Pro is noticeably quieter than the Delta 2, which was a pleasant surprise. It seems to take the River 2 Pro longer for the fans to kick on, which I love, for my standard use, the fans don't kick in much.I know I have been comparing the River 2 Pro and the Delta 2 a lot, but I do think a lot of shoppers may cross compare them when searching for a single solution.  The Delta 2 has become pretty well regarded and for good reason, but don't discount the River 2 Pro. The River 2 Pro does have a smaller battery and quite a bit less power output. However, its compact size makes it an ideal solution when you need a slightly smaller, more portable option that is still about 90% as capable as the Delta 2. This makes the River 2 Pro perfect for remote work, camping, and other situations where a slightly smaller form factor is more convenient.The River 2 Pro has proven to be the perfect solution for my remote work needs (where-as the Delta 2 for me, is more of my long-term camp power station). It has enough capacity to power my laptop, monitor, tablet, and hotspot all day long without any issues. Additionally, the USB-C charging with a 100W input/output port ensures fast charging for my devices.One downside I'd note is that the River 2 Pro has only a single USB-C port, it would have been great to see at least 2 now that most devices are moving toward USB C. Fortunately though, there are plenty of other ports to satisfy most users (including myself).  And one thing to note, the River 2 Pro does NOT support simultaneous charging. So you get AC, DC, or USB-C, only one at a time. It does seem to do a great job though at selecting the highest input source and using that to charge.The EcoFlow app is another standout feature, while it does lack some in-app features compared to the Delta 2 (Beep when setting change, 12v DC Timeout), it's still plenty capable and could potentially even come in a firmware update, you can adjust the charge and output rates for optimal long-term use or quickly boost them when you need a fast charge. This level of customization and control ensures that the River 2 Pro adapts to your specific needs.EcoFlow also offers a generous 5-year warranty for the River 2 Pro. Their customer service is exceptional, from my experience with the Delta 2, I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I could talk to a real person when I had a question about my power station. This level of support is rare and truly sets EcoFlow apart from the competition.In summary, the EcoFlow River 2 Pro is a fantastic, more compact, lighter alternative to the Delta 2, with the added benefit of app control for customized power management. Its power capacity, portability, and versatility make it an essential addition to any remote work setup, weekend camping, or emergency preparedness kit. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and powerful portable power station.
