Would be nice is offered a bag or carrying case, since theres no handle on top. the finger hold on the back isnt very conducive for portability if you have small hands.
I love my River Mini. I had been looking for something that was versatile in terms of power sources. Right now, I’m charging it as a plug-in but hope to buy the solar panels next year. I now have a plug in electric light, and I am successfully charging my cell phone and iPad. I could not be happier with your product.
Smallest, Cheapest, Best Power Bank on the market!

The most perfect little machine that can power my mini fridge for hours! It re-charges in a normal power outlet in about 30 minutes or less! This thing is a beast. Materials are high quality and buttons are intuitive. The box it comes in acts as a very convenient carrying case. I use this at work, at home, and on the road. Also the price is BEST on the market currently.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I use as power bank here in Hungary. The form factor is right for me. I bought a solar panel for the River Mini (110W). As protecting case i use a camera bag. (Dorr Action Black 4.5)
Wireless charger doesn't work if the phone has a case. I had the other one and bought this specifically for that but the c charger works well. I don’t like the gloss case but prefer the mat case of the other one

Hello! We are sorry to hear that RIVER mini wireless didn't perform as well as you had hoped when it comes to wireless charging. We will pass your comments about this to the relevant department. Thank you for sharing your experience wit us, we really value your feedback.
I’d buy anything you make! I am a Wedding DJ, and this model is perfect for ceremonies or cocktail hour. It runs for 2 hours, which is all I need, and it’s so light and compact!
I personally bought the River mini because I can not drive anymore and rely on a scooter. First scooter has two removable batteries packs, my second scooter has non removable batteries pack. When I’m out running errands, I’ve came close a few time of not making it home. Now I have no worries. The first thing packed for a day of errands is the scooter charging cord and my mini.
I bought this for general use - short road trips, mini-fridge use, etc. It has enough reserve to run a mini-fridge (real compressor type) all day, and then some. USB-C charges my computer easily, and the AC outlets are great for the occasional small appliances. It recharges quickly, typically within 1 - 2 hours. It does overheat even without a load; the fan turns on even when there is no load. X-Boost is a gimmick, but I don't use that. The app is a gimmick, too, there are not enough features on this to even warrant an app. The shiny finish looks great at first, but quickly becomes scratched and dirty; would have been nice if they kept it a matte finish. AC outlets only have a shared hole for the ground plug, so you can only use one outlet at a time, which defeats the purpose of two outlets. The wireless pad is hard plastic, and you can't charge a phone in a car, or other places where the unit is not flat and not moving, otherwise the phone slides off the charge area; it should have been made of non-slip material. The charge port is covered with a flap that uses a cheap plastic "hinge," the type that breaks off after a few uses; should have just used a real hinge. Despite the engineering oversights, it is functional and serves its purpose.
I would recommend this to a friend!
