EF ECOFLOWPortable Power Station RIVER 2 Max 500, 499Wh LiFePO4 Battery/ 1 Hour Fast Charging, Up To 1000W Output Solar Generator (Solar Panel Optional) for Outdoor Camping/RVs/Home Use

EF ECOFLOW Portable Power Station RIVER 2 Max 500 for Home Use, 499Wh LiFePO4 Battery/ 1 Hour Fast ChargingLightweight but powerful!Used this while dry camping in my rv in the Florida Keys this winter for 2.5 months. It worked really well for me. Charge lasts a long time! It charges in less than an hour.The only downside was I had to charge it while running my motorhome 7k generator and it drew a LOT of amps so I couldn't run anything else at the same time. Luckily, I have a friend on full hook ups so she charged it for me the times I had to recharge it.Daily I ran 2 fans, charged 2 phones and 1 tablet, made a few cups of coffee, ran a wifi speaker while streaming music from Sirius Xm, recharged a vacuum cleaner, recharged other items and the power station charge lasted 6 or more days never getting below 25% reserve.Never used the car charger or solar charger so can't comment on those. Very happy with this purchase.

The media could not be loaded. I intentionally waited to write this review so I could test it in real life scenarios that I personally would want this solar generator for. It is a beast for it's size and for how quickly it can charge. In my video you can see that my street fighter 2: hyper fighting arcade cabinet will run for over 4 hours on 28% battery. I later on charged it to full and it gave me over 17 hours of run time. I even played games for 3 hours to make sure there was no shorts, cut offs etc, and it ran flawlessly. Next a ran a large tunnel fan. It ran it for about 2 hours without issues. I then moved on to my actual PC and monitor. I get a little over 2 hours of use with this generator at full which doesn't sound like alot but bare in mind that I got this for $200. My next big test was my Playstation 4 and projector. It handled it better than I thought at almost 3 hours!!Simply amazing. It takes about 57mins to charge it from the plug. I tested multiple solar panels for charging as well. I tried a 100w portable panel and an actual 100w panel. It does take about 5hours to charge solar with both and about 7 to 9 hours with 1. However, I was also charging a power bank with it while solar charging thanks to the pass thru! This is an absolute must have! If our grid ever goes down I will be watching movies, refrigerating food, playing arcade games, trying to live life and enjoy some of the luxuries as well! My kids will thank me for being a pepper! This will run all your lights and everything else in a camp site as well with total ease. Trust me, I wasn't paid in any way or receive anything for this receive anything in exchange. I wanted to write this so if someone is on the fence about it , they could rest assured these things are real and can save your life. The absolute ONLY drawback is that I couldn't afford a larger one. Even the 256wh version is a must have. The bigger you buy, the more stuff you can run longer. So if you can afford it, grab a nice big one!!! Thanks for reading. 10 out of 10!!!! Also. The display is nice and bright. Can see it in the summer sun.

I purchased this product to run a couple of fans during power outages. On a whim, knowing that it has a pure sine wave inverter, I decided to try to see if it had the capability of running my modern side by side 24 cubic foot refrigerator (computerized with sophisticated electronics and panel), and it did! And it could run it for a few hours. That is incredible performance for such a small unit! While I do not recommend using this unit for this purpose due to short run time, the mere fact that it could be used in a pinch is comforting. Do please keep in mind though that modern refrigerators are very efficient; so don't expect this to run your work horse 30 year old Frigidaire! Energy efficiency requirements have come a long way, but longevity of the modern refrigerator has not!Way to go Ecoflow! Very pleased with this purchase! I intend to try other Ecoflow units in the future!

Reliable AC/DC voltage source. One hour to charge. Accepts solar power charge too. About 17 lbs, portable with several different output connections to choose from. Very reliable battery powered inverter.

I got this primarily as a UPS to keep my home networking and smart home equipment running during power outages. It's a bit overkill for this purpose, but works well - the switchover time is fast enough for my equipment.That being said, I was hoping to also use it for scheduling to run on battery at peak hours when power is more expensive, then recharge when power is cheaper. It doesn't seem to be able to do this based on the research and trials I've run, even though there are some implications that it should be capable.Overall, the size and capacity are amazing and UPS functionality is good enough for my equipment, but without useful scheduling capabilities, I can't quite give it 5 stars.

Bought this to use to fill a very large king size air mattress while camping. I tested it at home and it worked. While camping it worked extremely well to fill, do an extra fill for firmness at night, and to deflate. All of that had very little drain on the charge. Maybe reduced the charge by 5% max. I was very pleased with the performance.Also it really does reach full charge within 1 hour! Amazing for the amount of power it holds.Cons - when fully charged and not plugged in it lost about 45% of its charge in about a week of storage

What an awesome product this is! I originally got this item just to have in case of an emergency but recently I’ve been using this to power up my 12v fridge for when I go camping. This item charges up fully in about 50-60 minutes and I can run my fridge off this for almost an entire 48-hours on a single charge. Eventually I’ll add solar panels but the power source alone is an incredible product.

This product is very practical for emergencies or camping. I bought two and they work perfectly for me.
