About EF ECOFLOW Portable Power Station RIVER 2 Pro
Overall Feedback:
71% positive
75% liked the sturdy construction, but 25% found it flimsy
The panels produce good power, but they are set up in an unstable and difficult way.
84% liked the fuel efficiency, but 16% faced issues
Combining the two factors of 82% efficiency and 80% availability results in 66% usability, which highlights my concern for outdoor generator fuel efficiency.
For an LFP battery, the round trip charging + discharging efficiency is really bad.
82% found maintenance straightforward
I am relieved with the product as it does not require constant maintenance and a pull start.
The battery health and lifespan of the outdoor generator is an important factor to consider. EcoFlow has added a useful feature to its app called Energy Management, which allows me to set a minimum and maximum level of charge, below which the unit either shuts down, or above which it stops charging.
The unit holds a charge for a long time, making it a useful power option for around the home in the event of an outage.
79% were satisfied with the quiet operation, but 21% were bothered
The generator is not bulky and noisy.
The generator is quiet with no noise from the motor running, allowing me to enjoy nature without any disturbance.
While charging my device, it makes an unsettling noise, which could be due to something hitting a fan or some kind of electrical spark noise.
During AC charging, the unit makes strange noises and the cooling fans get very loud.
87% found it easy to transport
The generator fits anywhere in the car and is about the size of a car battery.
79% appreciated the high power output, but 21% found it insufficient
The power output of our 160-watt panel varies from 140 watts to 110 watts depending on the strength of the sun.
The output wattage meter doesn't register anything below 15 watts and is under actual wattage by 8 watts.
I suggest improving the handle placement and adding a more powerful 12v output port. Additionally, cigarette lighter plugs are notoriously unreliable.
86% appreciated the long runtime
My expectation of 40 minutes of run time was exceeded as the battery level estimate was around 8 hours.
I connected a 5 watt LED lamp and a space heater at its lowest setting to test the generator. The display showed 99 hours of life for the LED lamp and 56 minutes of life for the space heater.
88% found it easy to start up
The display shows all necessary information, including the remaining time before recharge.
I plan to use this power station for camping trips or when there is no electrical service around my property.
I find the unit easy to move around and convenient to use. It powers lights, fans, and small power tools in my barn which has no electricity.
84% found it resistant to various weather conditions
I bought this generator because my power frequently goes down during bad weather and gets restored several hours later.
