It seems to be a nice unit. It does everything that it is supposed to and that I need. I would give it five stars except that I haven't had it long enough to judge long term durability. So far I am very pleased with it.

Great power station that works as advertised

I was looking for a reliable portable power station at a reasonable price to help me get back into camping with essential electronics. The River Pro 2 seemed like a good fit. The fast charging works as advertised. The solar panels are easy to set up and charge well, especially if you adjust during the charging as the sun moves. I was pleasantly surprised that my CPAP will work for two nights on a full charge. It easily handles basic equipment and tasks to include inflating air mattresses, charging phone, and charging hand vacuum cleaner.
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.
This is the 1st solar power station I've ever bought. So far, I am extremely happy with this. I am happy with the capability, the portability, the appearance and the cost. I've been looking at another brand but bought this instead and I am so glad I did. I wish it would have come with a charging cable for a solar panel.
This is good size to carry or travel with. One portable 220 watt ecoflow panel is all you need to do a max charge it. I have 2 delta pros which will run just about everything but are quite heavy. With this river pro you can grab it and run if you need to. The folding 220 watt panel is is also portable and can be quickly grabbed also. I would think this would be a great unit for camping. The carrying bag is a nice back pack just for the unit. I think it is well worth the price. So far 8 am very satisfied with this unit.

They call me Icarus

After buying a new travel trailer in 03/2023, we decided to try the new solar generator option instead of lugging our old reliable gas generator into the future. Carrying it in the sturdy, FREE EF provided backpack was/is a nice add-on.
As of 23.0530, we've now camped at 3 different locations and I have fished my local lake with our EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro in tow.
The 17.2 generator is much easier on these old bones versus the 63# behemoth gas generator of our past.
The EFR2P has easily supported, at the same time, 3 different phone chargers, powered a laptop, (separately) an electric water kettle and even a battery tender over 3 day max camping trips.
Recharging it with the two 110w solar panelS that we bought at the same time (and saved a fair amount of $$), is a piece of cake. We look forward to many future adventures that will undoubtedly find us flying close to the sun in our attempts to garner (eventual) free energy.
The only issue I'm having is that I cannot, for the life of me, get this unit to attach to my Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G via bluetooth. Outside of that minor issue, the EF app is conveniently helpful for data feedback from the unit itself.
Additionally, this unit will be helpful at some point in the near future as my dumb as rocks California pols lead us into many brown and blackouts. A given. Soon.
