Great Product

I have 3 Eco Flows the Max The river Pro and now the river Max. They work great for my back wood needs and the fact that I can recharge all 3 with my Honda in 1.5 hours. This way I can run a fridge a tv and additional light's in camp a full 30 hrs in-between charges. I have solar also when the sun is available how ever I chose to camp in the shade of trees so sun isnt readily available. I have done testing with solar at home and it works well just not as fast as AC.

Small but Mighty

The River Max+ is a lightweight powerhouse. I have been able to run my full size refrigerator for 12 hrs with power to spare. It is relatively small and light enough to carry when configured at 720 watts, but if not needing its full wattage, the lower battery can be removed to decrease the weight by several pounds, and still have 360 watt hrs available. Ecoflow's app is convenient to monitor the unit's operation, and make power setting adjustments. Determine what your power needs will be either for emergencies, or outdoor activities. If this unit's power capacity will get you through a day out, or weekend….just buy it! It will not disappoint.

Boondocking Here We Come

We love, I mean love our River Max Plus. We took a family of nine camping a few weeks ago and this little thing charged everyone's devices (phones, tablets, speakers, air mattresses, etc). We also have the 160 watt solar panel which worked wonderfully with the River Max Plus. Charging was fast and the past through charging is a game changer. Everything is so easy to set up and use. We are very pleased with the River Max Plus and the solar panel. It has given the flexibility to camp off-grid for longer periods of time.

Very good deal, very good product!

After a ton of research and excel spreadsheets to figure out what was the best deal for a “solar generator”, I saw this one which blew the rest of them out of the water in terms of Wh per dollar. This arrived just before a cross country road trip, and I'm very glad it did. We had several power outages and it made life a whole lot easier. It's got quite an impressive suite of features and charges very quickly. So far I have no complaints!

Worked as expected, nice unit

Bought this for truck fishing/truck camping with my boy, too cold for that yet but tried it out ice fishing and it did what i needed it to do. Nice size. App connectivity was a bit confusing at first but connects fine and provides good info if you're too lazy to get up and check the unit screen. I bought a cheaper 220W foldable solar panel and It was only pushing about 160W in full sun light but it was able to top off the unit from 70% in about 90min. So far i think it was a great purchase and should be just what i need for a weekend camping trip.

Phenomenal Product for anyone.

First off, I have zero affiliation with Ecoflow. To he honest, I wish I did. I personally own 3 of their units, as well as an extra battery. I have the River Max, River Max Plus, and River Pro w/ extra battery. Love these units. Love them so much that I have sent them to my parents. Gave one to my girlfriend. My neighbors have all purchased them. I own a solar company I'm South Florida and I recommend them to all of my customers who want expensive battery back up systems. Why spend $$$$$ when you can achieve the same thing from Ecoflow and have multiple recharging options. They are my go to source for reliable back up energy. All the other units like the Patriots and Honda Jackerys of the industry can not even begin to compare to the quality and power vs cost. Shipping by the company is fast. It sucks they use FedEx as FedEx is beyond terrible. Absolutely horrible in reliability. But great product, highly recommend.

Exactly what I've been waiting for

After sitting on the sidelines and watching so many folks pound on and seemingly break their Ecoflow units (thereby giving terrible reviews and videos), I finally decided to jump on this unit with Ecoflow's amazing Valentine's Day sale. The unit seems perfect. Everything works as expected. Haven't connected to internet and updated firmware but the app works perfectly fine connected directly from my iPhone. Love the 100w PD port and of course the XStream charging speed. If this had been available and had its kinks worked out back in July 2020, I would have bought this in a heartbeat instead of my Jackery 500.

Was hoping is supported external battery.

Initial impressions are very positive. It charges very fast at a high rate and did not get overheated. Testing with various items; cell phone, tablet etc. went very well. I have not had opportunity to test 120v inverter yet. Disappointed that it apparently will not pair with an external battery pack or the extra battery is not available yet.

Great Value but the Appp Needs Work

I purchased my first one and after testing it on several different items, then I bought a second one. The reason for four stars vs five stars is the app. I had to try a couple times to get the first unit recognized by the app but so far, the second one will not be added to the app. I have followed the instructions but when it should let me assign a final wifi to the eco-flow unit, it does not go to the correct screen. I have heard from others with the same issues. The app needs work on simplifying adding units but once they are added, it works just fine. I got one unit to add but following the same sequence did not get the second on on the app. Frustrating.

A little disappointed

I got my power station with the fan not working right it immediately started to overheat I had to purchase 2 computer fans one to push the air and one to pull it, seems to be working well now and is much quieter this way, I have four other eco-flo power stations so I know how there supposed to work in my opinion I think it's Really important that they make sure the fan works before it leaves the factory heat is definitely the enemy of the batteries.
