Does the EcoFlow River 2 deliver on its promises? We run it through its paces, try to overload it, and charge it both on solar and AC to see what it can do and what it can't.

Good thing Ecoflow gave the River 2 a 5 year warranty which does reassure me that I bought a very reliable power station.

@realhumannotarobot6631 Год назад

For a 256Wh power station that charges in an hour, this River 2 actually takes the cake in terms of speed.

@OntheRoadLiving Год назад

Thank you for showing real tests! I’ve watched over thirty videos on this river 2 and learnt more in your video than all the others put together

@DollaKamalaSwalla 10 месяцев назад

This thing is all you need off grid for a laptop and phone and lights and low watt cooking appliance like the one you showed. Use an inverter in the car to charge it too. Im sold

@user-jy4ix7dj7p Год назад

Thanks for reviewing the River 2. I never knew that it charges so fast that it only needs an hour to get to a full charge.

@RanchExplorerHQ Год назад

Thank you helpful! I like the coffee press and water kettle. Good info for camping.

This is best test for this model in youtube! i seen a lot...

@rashb3994 20 дней назад

Thanks for letting us know about the boiling pot option. Been doing vanlife, have never used propane. Since its summer I've been fine bathing with cold this gives me a winter warmed up water option.

@TonyMiguel-ko7cz 19 дней назад

You can boil 4 cups of water maximum 😂

@rashb3994 18 дней назад

@@TonyMiguel-ko7cz But I only need one cup to throw in to warm up the cold water. 😏.

Picked one up on sale during the earth day stuff for $$14 refurbed on ebay. Im a happier camper

@john6639 Год назад

I do like that it only weighs in at 3.5 kilos which makes it easy for me to carry it around all day long.

@linuxmonkey 10 месяцев назад

You are the only youtube video i could find that does this. Thank you so much. I'm buying this for coffee on the go as well, thus it's driving me crazy not being able to find this little piece of information. Out of curiosity, what's your kettle rated at?

@spazbot81 Год назад

I can’t believe you didn’t show the backside of the units at least once so we can see the solar panel I/O ports 🙄

@TheChadSmithPodcast Год назад

Hey man I loved the review! I bought the Ecoflow 220w bifacial solar panel because it was a lightening deal on Amazon and was nearly half the price. I also bought a River 2 recently and I was told I could charge the River 2 with the 220W panel... Do you think it'll overload the unit? Was it only because you wired an additional panel? Thanks again for the review

@richardidle1289 7 месяцев назад

Great informative video. Please can you tell me what make/model the kettle is please?

@Stoffe46 6 месяцев назад

You should test parallel the panels then it works 😊

@greatcesarsghost 2 месяца назад

Where in the app does it say how many times you have discharged it? I have not seen that in the app.

@LuisMendez-ck6dv Год назад

Fucking loved the review, even the same batteries I need to charge , and the tool leaders talking shit on your tools lmao 🤣

@demonhogo Месяц назад

how much wattage does that kettle normally use, abot 6-700watts?

@evelyny7037 10 месяцев назад

I really don’t want to use the app. Will everything work without it? This looks like a pretty good little unit. Thanks for your explanation of everything!

@DoItYourselfDad 10 месяцев назад

The app is an extra and helps you monitor things, but you don't have to use the app. I really never use it.

@markg2228 День назад

You know what I had bought this Chinese one and it said enginstar that thing took forever to charge but lasted forever it was 300 Watts way longer than the ego flow I'm thinking what am I doing I owned one of these things and I sold it and bought an eco .. I should have kept the other one off-brand lasted way longer but it took like 4 or 5 hours to charge😮

@leese.23 Год назад

If I understand correctly these charge stations already have an inverter included built in so I'm wondering if that causes the Android or problems.

@DoItYourselfDad Год назад

Yes, they have a inverter that put out 110v AC current (wall current).

@bartkupp6351 Год назад

I think I can really use this River 2 in my hiking trips since it weighs only 3.5 kilos and it ain't that big.

@TonyMiguel-ko7cz 19 дней назад

7 pound times 100 miles walking?

@UhovMan Год назад

Good day! Can i use other solar panels with river 2 or only ecoflow solar panels?

@DoItYourselfDad Год назад

Yes, you can use any panel, they will just have to have an XT60 connector on them. If you have standard solar-style connectors this is the adapter I use: amzn.to/3MBzvyl
