For both of it. And for being kind.

I recently purchased the ecoflow river pro based in part on your review, so thank you... One of the features it has that I love is the phone app. I can turn it on or off, and monitor remaining time to charge or discharge from my phone without having to go touch the unit itself. I don't know what other ones have an app, but I'm very happy with that feature on my ecoflow.

@jeepliving1 3 года назад

This was the clearest explanation of needed capacity I've ever come across. All the others either give no real perspective on what is needed while others insist on complicated formulae for adding up usage of specific devices to get to the capacity. I was ready to throw up my hands and get a 1000 or 1500 wh battery pack. After viewing this and contemplating my actual needs I just ordered the Eco River MAX at 576 watts. With your coupon code it came to less than $400 including tax and free shipping. I expect it will handle my needs nicely. Even if experience and time suggests I need more power, I'll just get a second one which will still be more than 1100 wh for less than $800. Can't go wrong! Thanks for the great vids.

@JeepLiving Did this include a solar panel ?

@jeepliving1 3 года назад

@@charleneiam No. Figure an additional $250-ish for a Dokio 220 watt folding panel. EDIT SIX MONTHS LATER: I actually used a Dokio 300-watt panel (about $300). On its best day (Southwest US) it put out about 160 watts. It gradually began to put out even less due to what I suspect was a manufacturing defect. I quickly replaced it with two 100-watt solid panels (about $100 each). Then when I contacted Amazon to get warranty info for the Dokio, they simply replaced it with a new unit. So now I have two arrays to charge my two power stations. The 200-watt solid panels put out almost as much as the 300-watt Dokio. So unless you absolutely HAVE to have the convenience of a folding panel (which IS nice), the solid panels are a much better value.

I couldn't find it on their site but the USB-c wattage isn't listed. It is 100 watts on the ecoflow. My only problem is dealing with the heat in Texas. Basically everything needs a bigger fan down here. I actually connected a 1-watt computer fan to my ecoflow and it drastically lowers the temperature when the unit Is in my wagon in 100-degree heat with the windows up. Only so much you can do though when internal car temps are in the 130s.

I'm just starting out to camp with power option. My main need is running a CPAP at night & hoping to get a 12 volt fridge. Everything else would be minor USB items.

a 500wh like the Bluetti EB55 would be perfect.

@michaelarnold417 3 года назад

Anticipate the power cut and get the temperature to its lowest possible first. Then bump up the insulation massively to slow heat incursion.

@stephentroyer3831 3 года назад

Find the volt and amps that the fridge is rated for, search for a power station that can handle at least that. For me, the biggest EcoFlow is the cheapest one that works.

@allenm1974 2 года назад

I'm looking for a purchasing decision... I have a deep freezer 115Volts / 60Hz and the standard Fridge is the same. I'm looking to run them alternately in the mist of an outage. What will you recommend? Thanks for this info. It was very much needed! Because I'm completely lost in this area. Thanks again!

@TennesseeFrank 3 года назад

Something that bit me on the arse was the Pecron E1000 needing a 29.4v-40v input from the solar panels to charge the unit. Most portable panels are 12v to 18v so it was a "NO GO" with the panels I bought.

My power has gone out 3 times in the last four months for up to 3 days. I intend to put a switch next to me meter in the near future and buy a gas generator of about 7000 watts. I do have gas heat and water and gas lines thru my home so I put a 22000 BTU wall heater up for winter emergencies. I just bought an Eco Flo river 1200 peak power to power home entertainment and the fridge if needed. I'll need to purchase a spare battery I'm sure to make it thru 24 hrs. It has a fast charger built into the unit though so full charge in 2 hrs.I can take my batteries to a friends and charge up.

@ms.kiasoblessed5327 Год назад

Thanks for this video. I have a photo booth business and need to determine which one will run my booths, display monitors and printer. I think that the Ecoflow would be a great investment. Also, the recharge time is pretty quick. I might purchase a different brand as well for a back up.

@vincemontanez3947 3 года назад

@ActorKevinOlson 2 года назад

Have you ever used Power Stations built by Schumacher? I’ve had good luck with them so far. Mine is for charging back up batteries, phone, air inflation, jump starting my vehicle. It has 1 USB port, 2 ac plug-ins, 2 car lighter ports, all of these have covers. Front lights are like the 1 u preferred. It has several different sizes of attachable air inflators/deflators. The jumping cables are flat instead of lobster claws, which can be brutal to attach to a car battery especially if it has side versus top bolts. It also has a great display in front, & the tire pressure gauge has a light! These are expensive. If u have a friend whose a mechanic they can get approximately 40% off.

Bluetti EB70 and EcoFlow River Pro would be my picks for solar charging.
