Bought for my camping trip, just me and my wife. She said we didnt NEED it, but i was persistent. It amazed me with how long it takes a beating. Powered everything i needed. Keep a bulb light strand up for two hours, charged wifes phone twice and my phone once as well as a full charge for my ipad and both apple watches. Im definitely buyi g the high wattage solar pannels and possibly the River 2 max version. If debating on two sizes and you have the money go for the bigger option.

The AC power output and USB outlets are great. Battery life is great, and it recharges quickly with a solar panel. The DC outlet (cigarette lighter outlet) will not power a DC device well within the specifications of the power outlet, and the offshore support is not going to win any awards.

We absolutely loved this power station at first. Fabulous for camping, running our tablet, charging our phones, etc. we hadn't used it more than maybe ten times. We bought it a couple of years ago, and decided to take it to our cabin in the mountains of eastern KY for when we lose power there, which is a lot. FF, we've now had it a little over two years, and it won't work. Says it's charged 100%, but when we hooked up our modem, it shut down after about five minutes. Tried charging it in the truck with the car charger it came with, again it said fully charged, but would show zero power when we plugged anything in. We got this because it said it would last many years and charging cycles. I am disappointed. I know, it's two years old, but, it hasn't been used much at all. I feel like we were hoodwinked.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear that your RIVER 2 is no longer performing as expected, especially after providing reliable service during your camping trips.
The behavior you described, showing 100% charge but shutting down shortly after powering a device is not the experience we want you to have. While lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries are designed for a long service life, factors such as storage conditions, firmware, or battery calibration can sometimes affect performance.
We'd like the opportunity to look into this for you. Please contact our support team at support@ecoflow.com or call +1 (800) 368-8604, Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. EST. Please have your unit's serial number available, and our team will be happy to troubleshoot the issue and review the available service or warranty options.
We appreciate your feedback and hope to help restore your confidence in your EcoFlow product.

Great power station, charges in 1 hour, connects over bluetooth and wifi and could be monitored and adjusted. Perfect size for a car. First charging cable melted in car outled (probably because it was plugged in incorrectly at the angle), after contacting ecoflow support they have sent replacement at no cost.

Excellent reviews from others on You Tube however, I live in Hawaii and could not purchase directly from manufacturer due to their inability to ship to Hawaii. Found it on Best Buy and ordered it online. Great price, free shipping to store and best of all the power station met my expectations. Powered my CPAP for 7 hours while also charging my IPad with 33% power left. Easy to use and according to other reviews, must use periodically to maintain the longevity of the battery. Will be ordering solar panels via Best Buy soon using my BBY reward discounts.

I really like this solar power station. I’m using it to power everything in my backyard Ramada (lights, fan, web cam, and water fountain) so now I don’t have to dig a trench to run electricity from my house. So far it is perfect for this use. I don’t usually have all of those things running at once, so it’s not a big worry if the battery will last enough time. I did have to move my camera to the USB port because having the AC option on the whole time really takes a good chunk of your battery, so be aware of that. I now just turn on the AC side when needed, which can be switched on remotely. The Ecoflow app is very intuitive and easy to use and understand. I did get this on sale (about 45% off), so that’s what made me finally pull the trigger since these solar power stations are pretty expensive, at least in my opinion. This combo “should” last a long time and also has a great warranty.

I’m really impressed with this EcoFlow 256Wh portable battery! It’s the perfect balance of power and portability. It’s compact enough to easily move around or take with me, but still has plenty of capacity to power my devices when I need it. The setup was incredibly easy, and the display makes it simple to keep track of the remaining battery life. Everything feels well-built and thoughtfully designed, which gives me confidence that this will hold up over time. I especially like the versatility. It’s great to have around the house as a backup during a power outage, but I can also see it being extremely useful for road trips, camping, or traveling. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase. It’s easy to use, feels high quality, and gives me peace of mind knowing I have reliable portable power whenever I need it. Definitely recommend!

This portable power station has a good balance between portability, capacity and convenience. It’s super portable and it fits in a and it does not weight a lot. It fits comfortably in the Jackery explorer carrying bag. The capacity is above average. It charges my Dell laptop about 3 times. It’s convenient because you can use the app to check discharge time, power going in and out, and change the various settings. Additionally, it charges super fast. I haven’t seen any other unit charge from 0% to 80% in about 40 minutes. I would definitely recommend this portable power station,

This is an amazing power station that we use all the time. We take it camping, tailgating and just when we're outside and I need to charge a few things. It charges multiple devices all at once and lasts quite awhile. It will last all night long when camping to charge two iPhones and two Apple Watches.

Excellent item to own. I have another one the EcoFlow pro portable power station but it's kind of heavy with more watt hours. So that's why I bought this one. Quick to charge and go and carry. The one I bought EcoFlow river 2, had a plastic case manufacturer defect, so it will be replaced and the money I invested for this ecoflow river 2 is worth the purchase. And it's light to carry around. And it will be replaced. It's worth the money spent.

I bought this a couple weeks ago and it has already helped me out. Power went out and i was able to plug in the router so we were able to use our laptops to get work done. The ower bank allowed us to run the router for 7 hours before the power came back on. Easy to use, charge.

Great product to charge all my small electronics. I can plug my Starlink 120v. and can last up to 6hours of continues use. And it charges very fast. Let’s see how Long it will perform on the long run.

I purchased this for an off grid camping trip, in the Colorado mountains. It was AWESOME to have. I used it for my phone computer (MacBook Pro), and lights. I only topped it off once, because I wanted to see how fast it would charge with my solar panels. It had NO ISSUES!! This is an awesome product. So much so, that I’ve purchased other EcoFlow products!!

We had a competing brand that had several problems, not the least of which was draining the car battery when charging it with the included car charger. We have had the River Ecoflow charger for 2 years and I have no complaints. Multiple charging ports including usb c, usb a and grounded & 2 prong ac outlets. I have used this all day long in our festival booth to simultaneously run a fan and charge our devices for 4-6 hours without issue. Used on car trips to recharge computers (before usb c adaptability), power roku, and more. no complaints for this guy.

This portable power station was purchased for use as a backup power source for when there is a loss of electricity due to winter storms. It is efficient, well designed, easy to operate and portable. I will be purchasing the solar attachment and plan on taking it on excursions as well.
