Power supplement for DC freezer

I use it to power a DC freezer. Usually plug freezer into ecoflow and plug eco flow into automobile dc. My viehicle doesnt supply enough for the freezer. I set the eco flow only accept 70 watts from the car. We drove for 8 hrs (with several stops). Eco flow lost 15% charge over all. Im happy with it.

Great little unit and great warranty

I love this little power station! The lifePO4 battery charges in an hour on AC you can use a solar panel (I tested with a single 100 watt panel so far) and these types of batteries last a long long time. EcoFlow actually warrantees this unit for 5 years, and you can register it for a coupon for future stuff in their site. I did that but haven’t used it yet. This unit is great for outside things (I use it for astrophotography) but too small for any home backup due to its smaller inverter. You’d need a delta series for that. But for a 500wh ish unit I am very very impressed.

So What's Not to Like !

This unit is very versatile when You look at the overall package. It's lightweight, mobile, and charges quickly. Easy connectivity to the EcoFlow app to set-up, and monitor. You have the ability to contol charge rates, see discharge and battery life, and firmware updates if needed. Definitely a full featured generator which would meet so many lightweight applications for use both around Home, events, and camping. Sufficient lightweight AC and DC connection points to use as well as one's for Phones or Electronics. I have used this generator to power an electric edger, small shop vacuum, and several other items aound the Home ... and works well. I have only recharged using AC to date, and will try the Car/DC recharge feature. The hardware/connector for this comes with Your purchase. I didn't purchase the portable Solar panels which may be a possibly for future use. Recap ... While this isn't a mondo power generator, it's a great unit. It's lightweight, so it's easy to handle. I will call it full featured for it's size, and versatile, along with the ability to quick charge. Has been reliable, and good quality to date. And was a budget friendly purchase We hope to use for many years. So what's not to like !

Awesome short term backup when the power goes out!

Excellent lightweight backup device during power outages or even an over night camping trip. Thanks to the recent Nashville tornado’s I was able to put this little battery backup up to the test! During other ensuing few days minus electricity I was able to use a toaster oven, coffee pot multiple times, kept my phone charged plus had a small heater plugged in to keep a room warm! Works as marketed.

Can't Go Wrong With This Portable AC Power Source

This portable battery generator is perfect for outdoor activities; I primarily use it to charge my RC batteries at the field but I also use it to power up RF test equipment when I do field work. It has plenty of power and capacity and easy to carry around, looking at getting some solar panels to make it last longer in the field.

Great backup power!

Excellent emergency back up power for small refrigerators and freezers. It ran out 3.5 cu. ft. chest freezer for 6 hours and still had some battery life left!

EcoFlow River 2 Max 500W

Couldn't run my fridge, as I'd hoped. Still, a very useful appliance to have, depending on your needs. Televisions use a lot of electricity, so are a good option that this EcoFlow could handle.

So far, so good

I am not thru testing every feature yet, but so far so good. I also bought separately, their 160W solar panel and a 12 gauge longer cable to connect them. I liked buying the generator at a Sam’s store as I have 90 days to return to the store if anything wrong, and you don’t have to worry about shipping damage.

Homeowner

I have ecoflow bigger unit but this unit was a disappointment it would not even run a skill saw or electric blower with amperage low on the electric lower not worth the money.
