Purchased for my 40g Aquarium. I’ve had this Ecoflow for maybe a month and just now got around to finally test it for my intended purpose. Power outage protection for my 40 gallon Ram Cichlid aquarium. My setup, I have a Seachem Tidal 75 HOB filter. One LED light bar. One Eheim 200 Air Pump. One OASE 350 Skimmer. One Cobalt Neo Therm Pro 200W heater and One Cobalt Neo Therm Pro 100W heater. I have a Kilowatt tester and I did test how many kilowatts my setup uses at any given time PRIOR to purchasing this Ecoflow unit, I did not want to waste money on one that was too small but didn’t want to over spend either. So, at any given time, with everything running my setup pulls about 160 kilowatts max. Now to my actual “ power outage”test. Every piece of equipment on my aquarium is plugged into a Long strip that I purchased from Lowes. That power strip is plugged into the Front Of The Ecoflow. The Ecoflow is plugged into a Power Surge Wall Outlet. The test, I pulled out the power surge wall outlet from the wall while the Ecoflow was still plugged in. IT WORKED GREAT !! I didn’t even notice anything on the aquarium turned off. So, hopefully this review helps others. Now I have piece of mind that IF my power ever goes out, my aquarium is protected.

The River 2 pro is a great value for charging my small gadgets and running my small camp fridge. So far so good!! Thanks EcoFlow.

Good product, works as designed. I use it to run an astrophotography rig and it works great! Charge time is awesome and the wireless app works great and is very handy.

The wireless and bluetooth are unreliable, but it otherwise exceeds my expectations. What I wanted it to be able to do was run my Gen 2 Starlink, FireTV Cube, and cheap 38" flat screen TV for 3-4 hours and maybe also charge a phone. With the Starlink snowmelt turned off, it ran all three devices for almost 6-1/2 hours and topped off my Pixel4 phone from ~55% to full. With the Starlink snowmelt turned on (and snow falling making both the heater run and the starlink work harder to stay connected), it ran all three devices for just over 4 hours and topped off my phone from a similar state of charge.
This River 2 Pro drops off my wifi and loses my phone's bluetooth after a couple of minutes of being connected to either. That means I have to turn the unit off and back on to use the app. The good news is that the only thing I might ever need the app for is turning off the X-Boost. It works long enough to do that.
I like the performance of the 220w bifacial solar panel a lot, but the form factor leaves something to be desired. It's a true hassle to set up. Furthermore, it's very stiff in the cold and is almost impossible to deploy at temperatures in the teens and below. I'm going to have to build something to use as a mount if I ever have to rely on it for regular use. But again, the performance is impressive. In full sun and snow on the ground, I saw peaks for 206 watts. The excellent performance and the fact that it's a perfect match for the max input of the River 2 Pro might be a good enough reason to just accept the fact I'm going to have to build something as a mount to make it reliably deployable.

I bought this almost a month ago and have used it several times. It has easily powered all my needs from cell phones and crockpots to my portable fridge/freezer. The app is well designed and showed pertinent information. Can’t wait to continue to fuel my adventures with it!
