I have two Ecoflow River 2 Pro & 1 baby River 2. Delta with double your capacity, but across my three units I'm close. I bought a little river 2 a little over a year later I got one of the River 2 Pro and just 4 months later I bought another one. The River 2 Pro is only 17 pounds or 7.75 kilograms. With two I have 1,572 about 50% more than what yours does while giving up the weight. But if I had the money all at once I probably would have done it differently. Like your van by the way. They say black is slimming, but that van still looks big.
If you're moving your stick around the candy machine clockwise you need to turn the stick anti-clockwise in your hand to allow it to rotate around the stick not just the stick rotate around the inside of the machine.
We have this power station. They (we have 5 different Power Stations , 2 are ecoflow) are all more efficient with their energy if you run things using the 12 volt as they don't have to convert it through the inverter so its worth remembering to bring your 12 volt fridge cable.
It’s a shame that RU-vid as become one big Advert. They get this stuff for free and sometimes money to review stuff. Just like others they will tell you a slight issues. But 99% good and that’s enough to get you to buy one. Job done. We are at a lovely campsite 10 seconds, Now look at what we want to sell to you because we are now a Shopping channel. I can’t blame them in anyway for it, we all need to make money and we all want stuff for free. But it just becoming like QVC.
Anything hot with the power station is always going to be a much higher level drain than practically anything else, besides maby a power tool. I have an electric kettle that's supposed to do 600w but it actually drawers 700w
Ha! I’m 5 minutes down the road from there and I passed my flying licence test in that plane that flew over. Yeah the parking fees suck there but having parked there before the fees the cars are very close as they whizz by.
Hilariously you can still park for free on the other side of the road. It’s a single yellow line which means restrictions apply between the times shown on the signs - but they’ve failed to renew the signs.
The fans only run when it’s powering a very high powered device at its limit. As soon as that device has finished (eg kettle has boiled) it goes almost silent again
The low cost, (cheap) high frequency, inverter technology that's used in these units can set your AC appliances on fire during a catastrophic failure of the H-Bridge circuit. So no thanks. Not in my van or home.
I haven't got one of these but if I do get one eventually, it would not be for the High AC output. I'd be using it as a DC battery pack and at most 100 Watts AC. The issue you mention is High loads and/or constant use on High frequency inverters, especially cheaply made ones. Many folk have done OK with High frequency inverters, mines 4 years old and served me well in my campervan...600 watts/1200 peak, I've never used it on anything above 100 Watts and don't leave it unattended while being used in AC mode, not since some drama when I first used it...explained below. Charging a phone or tablet through the USB/USBC ports is less concerning although I still like to be present. I had an 18650 battery in a charger go poof once...the charger melted somewhat and was put out of service/damaged/broken. I purchased a new charger and batteries and the inverter worked as normal. I think the issue was the very old rouge 18650 that found it's way into my pack. Yes, the charger may not have liked the inverter...who knows, I was just outside my van chatting and missed the drama, I'd set everything on top of the steel oven and nothing else was damaged but hey! it could have been worse and I'll not deny that. Yes, the heavy reliable safer (apparently) low frequency inverters are nice, but choice and price is another thing, even these cheap power stations are expensive for most but yes with more risk probably. The material is fire retardant and lithium iron phosphate reasonably safe. Like anything, dew care and attention should be a rule of thumb and hey! if it breaks, well ain't that a bummer. I went for a nap on my couch a few years ago and smelled burning, my 43" TV was smoking very heavily out the top...glad I hadn't fallen asleep. Nothings safe...not even cotton wool...way up the risks and either take them or don't I guess, at least way them up and be prepared or as prepared can be 👍
Any battery/ inverter used improperly can set the wiring on fire, not the appliance. You can't, but one of these a d think it will do everything, so the failure is on the user, not the product. There is a reason they make different types with different power capabilities. Don't spread misinformation.
I'm not talking about using inverters improperly. What I'm talking about is even when using a high frequency inverter properly, because they lack an isolation transformer, they can set your AC appliances on fire during a catastrophic failure of the H-bridge circuit and the AC output protection circuitry. It's impossible to pass DC current through a transformer based inverter, but you can easily do that with a high frequency, transformerless inverter, because there's no galvanic isolation between the inverter's DC boost circuit and its AC output.@@SAMMIEJONESJUNIOR

A long ass time. It’s gonna max out at ~130W or so depending on your 12V output. Your car or a typical battery is going to put out 12.0-13.5V typically and most cars have a 10A fuse…I also believe that is the max input on the “solar” (which is just a DC input since panels are DC) So if this thing is 1kwh expect 8’ish hours. The trick is to use a boost converter IF you can draw more than 10A from whatever you’re pulling power from. When you boost to 24V you can usually double the power or sometimes even a bit more. I think the limit for the solar input is 60V? But realistically a 24V or 36V boost converter will suffice to get the power up high enough to 200-350W
