Easy Setup

The setup was easy. Some reviewers had me concerned about the need to purchase an alleged "adapter" or "missing cable" for the second panel. It is NOT true. My unit was well packaged. There is an item within the packaging called EcoFlow Parallel xt60 Cable. It connected both my panels to the power station. Those reviewers likely overlooked it in the packaging and threw it out. Check all the small packaging boxes within the one larger box thoroughly.

It's great to hear that setting up your RIVER 2 Pro was straightforward and that you found the EcoFlow Parallel XT60 Cable included in the packaging! Your helpful tip about checking all the smaller boxes before discarding any packaging could save other customers a lot of confusion. We're glad everything arrived well packed and that you were able to connect both solar panels without needing to purchase an additional cable. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and help fellow EcoFlow users get the most out of their setup!

Nifty battery pqck

Looks good! Tried several different scenarios and the battery handled them well. Tried recharging using the solar panels, seems very sensitive to the angle of the sun. Overall, it seems like this will work as advertised. We'll seelll

Trial and error

Solidly made and great features. Took trial and error for me to understand how many devices I could power and for how long. This is good for smaller needs and shorter periods. If you need to make it through the night with a fan, you are going to a need bigger solution.

Happy with performance sometimes funny behavior.

I am using this with an ARB classic refrigerator and it was able to power the fridge for about 24 hours. The night temps were 85 degrees and peak daytime temps were 104 and even hotter inside the car. Happy with the performance. One issue I have seen is that sometimes the refrigerator will not power on from the river. Not sure why but it will require unplugging the refrigerator then plugging back in and then it will work fine. This issue is strangely sporadic. I did make sure I have the DC power to never go to sleep.

Understand the real specs before buying — 800W

I bought this because the listing/title presents it as a 1600-watt EcoFlow River 2 Pro bundle. After checking the actual specs, the River 2 Pro is an 800W continuous output power station. The 1600W number refers to EcoFlow’s X-Boost feature, which is not the same as true continuous inverter output. That difference matters. A normal buyer seeing “1600W” may reasonably expect this to run loads that a 1600W-class power station can handle. In real-world use, this is better understood as a 768Wh battery with an 800W inverter. For realistic use, this is fine for things like phones, tablets, laptops, lights, a router/modem, small fans, camera gear, and short emergency use. But it is not a serious backup unit for heavier loads like a desktop computer setup, appliance backup, event equipment, coffee makers, or anything that needs sustained higher wattage. Runtime is also limited by the 768Wh battery. After normal inverter losses, real usable AC power will be lower than the full rated capacity. A 500W load may only run for around an hour or a little more. A 300W load may run a couple of hours. Smaller electronics will last much longer, but larger devices will drain it quickly. The included solar panels are also limited. With two 45W panels, the maximum solar input from the supplied panels is only 90W under ideal conditions. On paper, charging a 768Wh battery at 90W would take about 8.5 hours, before losses. In real-world conditions, with sun angle, clouds, heat, and charging losses, it would likely take 10–12 hours of strong sunlight, which may mean more than one day depending on location and weather. The unit itself may be fine if you know exactly what you are buying. My issue is the way the wattage is presented. The listing should clearly state 800W continuous / 1600W X-Boost / 768Wh, so buyers understand the real-world capability before purchasing.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review and your feedback. We appreciate your comments regarding the product listing and understand your concern about the distinction between the 800W continuous AC output and the 1,600W X-Boost capability. X-Boost is designed to allow the RIVER 2 Pro to operate certain high-wattage resistive appliances by lowering the operating voltage, but it is not the same as the unit's continuous AC output rating. We also appreciate your observations regarding runtime and solar charging performance. Actual runtime and charging time can vary depending on the connected load, inverter efficiency, battery conditions, sunlight intensity, weather, and other environmental factors. Your feedback about making the continuous output, X-Boost capability, and battery capacity more clearly distinguished in the product listing is valuable, and we'll be sure to share it with the appropriate team for review. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback and for choosing EcoFlow.

There is no way to connect both solar panels

EcoFlow sells a station with two solar panels, but I can only connect one of them. I called support and they said they don't have connectors to connect two panels. I'm going to return the whole set back to them.

Do not buy if you need reasonable delivery speed!

I would love to tell you about this product, but I still have not received it. It was supposed to be 2-day delivery, it has been a week and still have not received and tracking is not updating. We needed for a tailgate event. Delivery times are VERY misleading. Big disappointment!
