I'm in the market and doing a lot of these videos, and I have to say this was one of the better reviews I've ever seen on one of these power stations. Well spoken, you don't speak tech language, you don't assume that everybody knows every terminology, and you speak plainly and clearly. I think this was really well done and I appreciate it very much!

[@TechMadeEzy]

Curt thank you so much

[@beardannyboy]

I clicked because you mentioned refrigerator test on the thumbnail

[@marklewus5468]

Xboost is widely misunderstood. It does NOT provide additional wattage. It just reduces output voltage. The River 2 Pro is rated at 800 watts with Xboost off. That’s ~6.7 amps at 120V. With Xboost on and connected to a 1200 watt device (10A at 120 V), the Ecoflow will output ~80 volts at the same 6.7 amps as before, or 800 watts. And if you try this trick with a refrigerator, you’ll burn out the compressor. The only thing it’s remotely good for is running a 1000W heater, and in much less than an hour a fully charged battery will be dead.

[@andredeketeleastutecomplex]

Correct. If you really need more power go with the Delta line-up.

[@yeslawrence]

Most newer residential refrigerator compressors run between 100-200watts, and the one in this video appears to run between just 40-50watts! Which btw seems crazy low for a full size fridge like that. The startup or surge power needed to start the fridge compressor may be more than 800w (the river 2 pro can surge to 1600w not to be confused with xboost) but the running watts is well below 800w so ur not gonna mess up the compressor running it with this bcuz as long as its below 800w it’s not reducing voltage. Xboost is for sure gimmicky with limited use cases so I just keep it off pretty much all the time.

[@bdmenne]

@@yeslawrencehi. Can you tell me some things you use the R2P for? You mentioned using it for an efficiency frig/freezer? Unrelated, do you like the new alternator charger unit that Ecoflow just released?

[@ewitte12]

"understand" which is why I'm not a fan of it. I can natively pull 2400 out of my Delta 2 Max anyway.

[@salvadordeguzman2066]

Finally made a decision to buy this unit instead of the BLUETTI eb70s . Thank you for making this review as clear as possible. 👍👍

Hi...I am also considering this river 2 pro or the EB70. Can I ask what are the factors you made to choose this? At my location, the EB70 is cheaper by 30% so I am searching why I should more for this river 2 pro, thanks in advance!

[@AlbinOnishchenko-87]

Same. I was all bluetti then started watching ecoflow and it changed my mind.

[@Chris66able]

@SicSemperMortemTyrannis No, the ecoflow is better, longer life, more cycles, ect.

Sweet deal! And thanks for the comment, stay in touch if you have any questions just give me time to respond buddy 👍🏼

[@lagonda8]

Very huge review. Well done. I have River max and I just got River 2 pro. With max I got solar cables. With River 2 pro I didn't. River max has a light but I don't use it so for me River 2 pro not having light is not a big deal. But I assume that some of the folks would love to have that. With max model I am very satisfied with its battery. I use it for powering my telescope system. Equatorial mount, solar filter, solar guider and laptop (with cameras connected on usb port, so some small amount of power cameras are taking as well). For several hours (depending on laptop screen brightness) River max drops to around 50-60%. River 2 pro is yet to be tested. This review is nicely done to explain to others what watt or amp is and how to figure what type or model do you need regarding to your equipment and needs. Great work. :)

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thank you I'm glad you liked it, I appreciate your comment 🌟

[@jonthebru]

The difference in the CPAP watts is whether the humidity warmer or a heated cable is used. When I use a battery as I camp I always turn off the warmer so it uses less current. For coffee I will probably use an electric kettle, as small as possible, to boil water and pour it over a filter.

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thank you John

[@anonimous596]

thanks - great video and lots of good info presented very clearly - Im thinking about getting one to supplement my emergency prep, I have a gas generator that can run most of my necessities but looks like this little unit could work well for shorter outages when all I need is a fan or two and the fridge, for anyone else's info and comparison, my fridge is a 26 cu ft 2020 model that uses about 160w most of the time with short zero periods as well max about 220 for a few minutes. So it looks like this one would meet my needs. mostly it would be handy if I were not home when the outage happened since there is ZERO chance my wife would be willing to learn to start the generator and flip over the main breaker to the interlock..... Ive tried to explain the process and that is just not gonna happen! to intimidating for her to mess with it this is a much safer and less involved backup plan. thanks again.

[@loricone3184]

Thank you so much……I’ve been testing my new River 2 Pro around my house today, like you, so far so good. I’m sorry your coffee machine died. Now I don’t have to kill mine😅 I will buy the basic model now. The accessories you suggest are great, I didn’t even think of a light. Thanks again!

As an Olight fan boy I own way too many light. I’m glad it doesn’t have a light. Yes, I wish it came with a solar cable, yes I wish it was expandable, but the only true con? That top is perfectly suited for a wireless charger.

[@drcsep]

Outstanding educative video. Thanks

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thank you

[@kim.in.nature.]

Couple of lay questions: What caused the smart Keurig die? Is this compatible with other brands of solar panels? Why would we need to reduce output charging for older outlets? Is there a fire risk? Fabulous review! Thank you!!

[@TechMadeEzy]

Xboost isn’t made for Keurig coffee makers but I’m glad I made that mistake (not you) Outlets? Some older outlets just can’t handle the higher wattage so your breaker will keep tripping so it’s nice to have the option to adjust, most power stations don’t offer this. No fire risk of you use these products properly.

[@nicholasn3856]

Very good review. This was very helpful and I just bought one. Thank you once again very nice video, with lots of great tests.

Nice review. I was going to buy one of these but ended up with the Vtoman jump 1000 with a way bigger battery (1408wh) and larger inverter 1000 watts with 2000watts peak as well as the expandability to nearly 3000wh capacity with the option of the extra battery. All for a similar price.

[@TechMadeEzy]

I have to check that out

[@theresaprice1365]

I m in the market you made sense there’s sooo many out there

[@pintorthepintor3964]

Seems its double the price on their website. Also it takes 8-9 hours to recharge vioman vs river pro 2’s 1.5 hr to full charge.

[@jampam-jf8mt]

@@pintorthepintor3964Get the Vtoman Jump 1500x with the smaller battery. The reason it takes longer to charge is the much larger battery. The charging depends on the size of the solar panel and amount of sun. 1.5hours for the river 2 pro is at its fastest setting using mains, only for emergency use.

[@SlackersIndustry]

Same one I'm looking at, just sux to recharge solar is slow and ac also slow, but can't get bluetti or ecoflow here in mexico cause they want double sometimes triple the price, only vtoman here is the same price and seems good just the slow charging but saw a new one just came out with fast charging 👍

[@SlackersIndustry]

Seems ecoflow ,bluetti and vtoman are the top contenders vtoman was lagging behind but finally has one with quick charge . Great review

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thanks

[@donaldlee6699]

Very thorough! Informative! As always! Technology is moving fast! Popular opinion Eco takes second place to none? Competition is fierce! This is capable of getting off the grid? Electric stove is 220 W? Solar panels capable of providing all requisite power to operate a home using 2000kw standing alone? What are the cost for solar panels? This is certainly fodder, i.e., food for thought. Fossil fuel is becoming more of a threat that is inevitable to eliminate dependency and has been indicated by a global trajectory. Thanks for your video!

[@andredeketeleastutecomplex]

Living with stuff like this doesn't deminish the need for fossil fuels, or these wouldn't be produced.

[@PaulGrantDesigns]

I returned and picked up a Delta 2 for the extra wattage. While I love the Delta, some clear advantages I already miss from River 2. Light, small and relatively quiet... could charge from a bag at a Starbucks if desired. Second - the River 2 supports front port USB C charging. While the Delta 2 has two upfront USBC, no INPUT. That really sucks. Last -- since the River 2 has the power inputs on the front, so is the switch. I find it annoying I have to fumble at the back of the Delta 2 to turn on the back ports. Controls should always be on the front. IF you can guarantee all your appliances can fall below 1000 watts, the River 2 Pro is hard to beat.

[@TechMadeEzy]

Delta 2 is nice, I agree having a river can be convenient

[@TBizzell68]

I have ordered one. Maybe a dumb question. Will charging at 940W all the time reduce the overall life of the battery? I know that Ecoflow designed it to fast charge but maybe if I charge it at say 470W it would be easier on the device. I’m actually pleased that it doesn’t have a light on it. Great video by the way.

[@TechMadeEzy]

TB thanks much bro And the answer is yes, fast charging all the time does apply more heat to do that so it will reduce the batteries life not sure by much because the fans in the unit do a really good job. What I would say is if you can just charge it nice and slow every once in a while that will help.

[@phantomrider2112]

I would love to see a detailed comparison of the River 2 Pro and the Delta Mini. I own both, but I don't make videos.

[@TechMadeEzy]

Hey thanks for the idea on the video I'm going to be honest with you I just don't know how long the Delta mini will be around I think the company looks like they're going to lithium iron phosphate on a lot of their products which is good so we'll have to see. I'm not sure if you saw this video? I know it's not what you want but maybe it can help kzbin.info/www/bejne/l36nfoRnprVqj9ksi=nxZTEyfmZ2WQhVNv

[@mabb6969]

Hi. Do you know if the functions change quality due to change in temperature in the room where you put it? It has been a very warm summer in europe this year, also inside the house, and the winters cold even inside...Ps I bought the ecoflow river 2 pro this week, and the 160 w solar panel. When I unpacked the solar panel I was very surprised that there were no xt60 to mc4 cabel, although the printed manual said it should be included. The sun is shining outside, but I cannot use my device but have to wait for the right cabel! So I absolute agree with you, a solar kabel should be included, at least together with the solar panels...

[@TechMadeEzy]

As long as you stay within, the temperature range is stated in the manual you should be OK

[@michelleevans9869]

Nice honest review. Quick question. I usually only run my battery down to 10% and then to fully charged at 100%. Would that consider a full cycle charge towards the 3k life cycle ? Ok thank you.

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thank you At some point you will lose cycles even if you charger from 10% to 90%

[@jonthebru]

People like me are a problem because I am somewhat compulsive with keeping my devices charged. I have one of these coming and I'll have to get used to letting it discharge more, but not zero, maybe 20%.

[@Snup1995ii]

Hello. Your video is one of the best tests of this station. Can you tell me the energy consumption standard of your refrigerator?

[@TechMadeEzy]

Thank you It’s listed in the video. Actually I don’t have access to it right now but if you go back to the video during the refrigerator test in the beginning, you’ll see an image that shows that information you need.

[@ginatulip8679]

thank you for the video. A big "con" for me is using the xboost on an appliance. will it break it or will it work? I guess you just have to very careful on what you use the xboost on.

Never use it there’s no reason to

[@p.b.7861]

I need to explain more about power on Refrigerator, you forgot the defrost cycle mode. Power on defrost on my 10 years old whirlpool Refrigerator use about 400 watts versus normal run use 130 watts. I think defrost once per 24 hours.

@@TechMadeEzy Hmm I wish Ecoflow didn't advertise espresso/coffee machine use with River 2 Pro. I guess it's technically the "truth" given that it can power the analogue dumbed down appliances. I'll use the pro for modem, wifi, and living room lights during power outage (which was my primary use case)

[@TechMadeEzy]

River 2 pro is nice for its size, I really wish they came out within an add-on battery during the launch like they did, with the original River pro

[@Omikoshi78]

@@TechMadeEzy My main hesitation with getting a higher capacity unit is stability of battery chemistry. Historically LiOn doesn't have great track record (e.g. fire hazard). LiPo is touted to be more stable but I don't think it's been out long enough for us to get objective datapoint on its safety. If I can store it in a safe location(e.g. fireproof concrete floor) that would be ideal but I live in a condo so my storage options are a bit limited.

I'm looking at a refrigerator that say it uses just 673 (kWh/year) in energy consumption. Just for reference it is a Frigidaire GRSC2352AF. So if my math is correct it would use just 83watts in 24hrs or 3.45 watts per hour ?

Hi, that should be pretty good. I couldn’t really confirm what you’re saying any given day your refrigerator based off use can turn the compressor on more and use even more power.

Do you know if someone makes a cable that connect two delta pro's or to the extra battery that is more like eco flows new ultra cable that stays really tight against the back? the cable as you know that comes with the delta pro for this is a u shape and really sticks out to far..it's limiting where I can put the delta pros and be able to grow the system.

Hello mate. Thank you so much for these great videos. I love them! I am planning on purchasing either a river 2 Pro or a delta 2 but can't decide. I live in Cyprus and we get frequent power cuts. I need something that can help me power my pc or tv, maybe a fan in the summer to get through the night. As far as I can see the main difference between river 2 pro and delta 2 is the 300 wh capacity right? The price difference between the two is quite high in Cyprus so I'm not sure just that difference is worth taking the leap. Wanted to ask for your opinion mate. Thank you.

Even if you could run at 40 kph it doesn't mean that you should, you could fall or rupture something in your body.

[@TechMadeEzy]

When you install the EcoFlow app, go to settings then charge and discharge and you can set it to never go below 10% of the battery same for not charging past 90%. This was you aren’t using your full battery draining it and fully charging it. That’s the best I can do. Just like your smart phone if you have one, charging the battery to 100% or 90% etc. Once you get the unit it will start to make sense.

What is the voc that’s more important? If f it’s under 50v you can use it. I can’t state what wattage you will get.

Sorry but USB-C is more powerful than A so using an adapter in an A port prevents a C device from getting the benefit of more power. A C can do up to 100 watts on ssome devices, can't do that with A

Agree but some just don’t use certain ports, we all have different needs. Thanks 👍🏼

I am looking for a power station to use in our Travel Trailer at night to run our tV and media player and I am having a difficulty in getting a specific answer. Today I used a meter and measured the draw at 120 v on my combined TV and Media player load... I averaged a 46 watt running load. Can you tell me how long the power station run based on the draw. I do have a generator we can run during the day and charge the station the next day. My current set up is a 12 v deep cycle battery connected to a 300 wt Beltek invertor.. it has served me well for the last few years... the cost of the deep cycle battery is under $100 ... .so, making a jump to the power station would be a 4x cost increase! I tried to call EcoFlow today on the phone with their 800 number.... I sat on hold for 47 minutes and when the agent picked up he hung up 2 minutes in to my question. that's not a good way to start when trying to evaluate a purchase Hopefully you or someone on here can answer my question.

How long would you wan to run the 46w for?

[@robertdillon9989]

3000 charges to 80% not 100% discharge.

Any idea of How many hours of continuos use wold it give for the refrigerator + 2 fans ? Or your refrigerator + your tv , how many hours until battery runs out? Thanks

[@TechMadeEzy]

Really no way to tell unless you find out how much wattage your refrigerator normally uses plus the wattage it uses when the compressor kicks in.

My Ecoflow River Pro only lasted 3 years the unit over heats while charging really disappointing Ecoflow told me I could trade it in and I'd get $130 dollars towards a new one. I'm really bummed only 3 years. I don't trust the durability of EcoFlow!

[@TechMadeEzy]

Sorry to hear that

[@ewitte12]

New devices have 5y warranty. I wouldn't fault a company for not wanting to do much for a device out of warranty.
