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.

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.

Mislabeled as 1900 watts. It’s not.

You mislabeled this product. It is not 1900 watts! It is 512 watt-hours. The output can be boosted to 1000 watts for a short time. You’ll get a lot of returns from people who buy this thinking they can 1900 watts. I hope it’s just an honest mistake.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. You’re absolutely right to point out the difference between watt-hours (capacity) and watt max power supported by x-boost. Since this product was purchased from a third-party seller, it’s possible the listing was mislabeled on their end, which can sometimes happen. We appreciate you flagging this, and we recommend referring to the official product specifications for the most accurate information. If you need help confirming the correct specs or have any concerns with your purchase, please let us know—we’re happy to assist.

River Pro Max

Purchased River Pro max earlier this month and it is awesome! I mainly purchased to run my Iceco JP50 fridge freezer when camping. I also purchased the 110 watt portable solar. The combination will keep my fridge running during the day indefinitely as long as I have a little sun! Does everything it says it will do, fast charging and the app is awesome too!

CPAP Emergency Power

I purchased this unit to provide CPAP power for my wife and I in case of a power outage. The unit switches to battery power when AC power is interrupted which is a great feature. The river 2 max provide power for two nights and even a couple of naps.

Best for off grid solar only setups... 1 issue

I have tried MANY portable power stations to find the right unit to run a continuous full time little power station completely running on Solar. This is probably the best, one reason is that it NEVER shuts down when power pull/usage is light. That was critical when running a small shed off the grid. However, you have got to get the thing to report even a slight power pull on the screen. I run a wifi unit and a small tempest relay for weather. They pull a light load that does not show up on the screen as usage. This is unfortunate as the battery life drains despite the screen or app showing no usage. The charging also doesn't show except when its high enough to register. Its my only issue.

Fits a bunch of needs!

This was an excellent purchase with the portable panel. I bought this mainly for my wife's convenience in case of an outage (which is fairly common here). Her 2 "essential" needs for power are a floor fan (for the heat or sleep) and a TV to fight boredom. (+ cellphone:). After testing, the River 2 Max can power these for over 5 continuous hours, including the satellite receiver. With the solar panel in our area, it should at least double that time. I expected fast charging but was impressed how it topped itself off in a few minutes from 65% charge. It's a welcome addition to our larger system. It's light enough to easily carry and I may just sneak it out on a few fishing or even camping trips.

High quality product.

Outstanding product. Bought it to be prepared for hurricane power outages since I live in Florida. I read that it would charge from 0% to 100% in an hour from a standard electric outlet. The one I received charged from 48% to 100% in a half hour and works perfectly. Very happy with the purchase and would gladly recommend.

Love it, does what is expected

Great 'little' generator. Easy charge laptops, power TVs, modem %26 router, lights, and fans! Make sure you know what your coffee or fridge wattage is. I haven't tested the 1000k boost on my bigger appliances; if you want to power that fridge or make some coffee, maybe get a more powerful ecoflow. Or buy a small coffee maker or a mini fridge. But love the app and the ease of use.
