Customer Reviews for EcoFlow - RIVER 2 PRO 700Wh Portable Power Station,Fast Charging,1600W Peak Output,Solar Generator for Camping/Outdoor (768 Wh Capacity) - Black
The River 2 Pro Power Station packs a lot of 'juice' in such a small box. It looks great and feels solid with very good quality. This is my first time using a battery device and generator like this.
I purchased this to power a portable CPAP machine for 8 days on a high-desert, Utah river (SanJuan) rafting trip in mid-August. High temperature forecasted between 100 and 105 degrees F.
Based on the specs of the CPAP machine, the plan was 3 days for 10 hours per night at 20 watts/ hr. with a 20% margin for heat loss using the machine's 120 volt power brick. So, to recharge and power the remaining time, the 160 watt EcoFlow solar panel/generator should be sufficient to extend usage on river for 2 hours per day.
Rig worked at home under ideal circumstances and actually achieved 4 nights of usage at 8 hours per night at 19 watts per hour with 20% remaining on the power station. ******* UPDATE: River Pro 2 performed much better than expected! 1) The Trip changed. I used CPAP powered by River Pro 2 for 7 nights 8 hours per night. Actual high temperature was 99 degrees F. 2) I upgraded to an oem,12 volt DC power supply for the CPAP machine which reduced the actual wattage consumption to less than 8 watts/hr rather than 20 watts using standard 120 volt power plug/adaptor supplied by the manufacturer. 3) The 12v plug/power brick offered by the oem drew 60% less energy than the standard 120 volt power supply. 4) Because of weight/space limitations, I chose to not carry the 160 Watt solar panel on the river. 5) I tested the solar panel, recharging the River Pro 2 upon my return home for 1 hour on a bright sunny day. I layed the panel flat on the ground (not aimed at the sun). It produced 137 watts of energy over the hour. 6) To ensure the battery did not get wet or exposed to physical abuse, I sealed it in a plastic garbage bag and carried it in a 24 can soft cooler for protective padding. It was packed up for only 10 hours a day, so 'off-gassing' was not an offset
In summary, the River Pro 2 performed flawlessly! Invest in protection for the device. Take care of your equipment, and it will take care of you!
Bought the River about a month ago. I am impressed with the weight and ease of use. It came in handy already to run a sump pump during a power outage and to run some power tools in an area without electricity.
Keeps the fridge going and two C-PACk Machines. Then one we bought before was made by the company that made the fridge but it just did not work with it. Hoping to add more later
This is our 4th EcoFlow (Delta 2M, 2-River2) and we bought this to have incase we lose power during our storms (Florida) to charge our computers/cell phones and maybe a little lamp; pleased with its performance. We've purchased all our units during Florida Storm prep tax free holidays and with my added military discount at HomeDepot/Loews it really pays off to wait.
River two works great for our Internet and home automation. Power has dropped twice and it works perfectly. And it’s there fore longer emergencies to run other needed appliances.
