EF ECOFLOW Portable Power Station RIVER 2 Max, 512Wh LiFePO4 Battery/ 1 Hour Fast Charging, Up To 1000W Output Solar Generator (Solar Panel Optional) for Outdoor Camping/RVs/Home Use Black

My husband and I live in a very remote area, where power outage is a regular occurrence. My neighbors have whole house natural gas generators, which I have considered, but dislike the fact that they're extremely noisy. I decided to start small with a battery generator to see how well it works, and have been amazed! We lost power last night at 11pm, and it wasn't restored until 5:00 this morning. I plugged the refrigerator into this small unit and went back to bed. When power was restored, and the refrigerator plugged back into the house service, I checked the remaining generator power and it was still showing 95% power left. I then recharged it for the next power outage, and it was back to 100% in about 5 minutes. I couldn't be happier! I anticipate that it will be very useful to have this portable powerhouse for use in many ways around our rural property. ☺️

The product perfect, the problem Amazon, how i supposed that amazon in America sell me a product 220 vol for Europe and more espensive i did not realize because i never imagine tha this kind of mistake occurred in a company like Amazon. Its awful. Please every customer should read carefully because in Amazon you can not trust anymore.

I give the River Max an *initial* 5-star review because - without really having used it yet - it does everything I want. After I've actually needed it, I'll update this review!I live on the Gulf Coast, where we usually have at least one power outage a year from hurricanes or storms. I have a 5kW gasoline generator (along with a xfer panel so it can power the inside outlets of my house). But fussing with the generator (especially if the power is just out for a few hours) is a pain, ESPECIALLY when you haven't had your morning coffee. (My wife has pictures of me turning on the generator JUST to power the coffee maker.) Enter the River Max. I wanted something that would (1) run the coffee maker in the morning; (2) power a few lights; and (3) run a fan at night if the power is still out (because I'm not running the gas generator all night long).After some initial testing, it does all three! (1) My coffee maker is somewhere around 1000-1200 watts. If you plug it in to the River Max without the xBoost function on, it won't work; the display says it tries to draw around 1100 watts and then signals overload. With the xBoost function, the coffee maker does work. The display says the River Max is sourcing right around 600 watts to the coffee maker. But wait...it requires 1200 watts, right? What's going on?I don't have a multimeter to verify the River Max display data, but my guess is that xBoost mode simply limits current draw so that the inverter doesn't get overloaded. In other words, it sources all the power it can, and the coffee maker just has to live with it. I wouldn't want to run the coffee maker all the time that way, but I can tell you that it worked (though it seemed a touch slower than normal) and my coffee was plenty hot. That's a serious win. Making one cup of coffee depleted the River Max from 100% to 85%.(2) I plugged in a 10ish watt CFL into the AC outlet and River said it would run for about 30 some hours. That's fine. We have battery powered lanterns, so whatever.(3) An old lasko table fan (no idea what the specs are on it) also worked fine. At full speed, River said it would run for 5-6 hours. But remember that running fans and other motors is hard on batteries because of the induction. (Look up power factor for motors - they draw more than they say they do, basically.) Still, 6 hours of fan time isn't bad. However, I ordered a 12V DC fan to use overnight (I'll update the review with runtime specs when it gets here.) In general, DC devices will run much longer than AC ones because inverters are pretty inefficient.FINALLY - in response to another review: yes, the River Max connects to the internet, and the app is pretty cool. However, contrary to what someone else wrote, you do NOT need to be connected for the device to run or to use the app!!!! There's a button (IOT reset) on the device, and if you press it, it'll let you connect directly to the device, no router needed. Thus, you can turn xBoost on and off in the middle of a camping trip.This takes me to my only complaint: the app is nice and well-designed. Still, there should be a button for you to turn xBoost on and off on the device directly. I shouldn't have to use an app just to make coffee. Still, this is the only portable battery pack I've found at its price point that can run a coffee maker. (Goal Zero, etc. can't do this!) It also charges insanely fast. In real life, once I got my generator going, I'd just recharge River from it so that it's ready to go in the evening.One other positive: they're really generous with cables!!! The River Max comes with: AC charging cord; solar cell charging cord; car charging power cord (you know, those cigarette lighter things); AND a USB-C to USB-C cord (for charging your phone); a DC to DC 15mm plug (or whatever it is); AND a USB-A to, well, some kind of Mac cable. it's dual-headed. One of them is a lightning connector, I think, and so I assume the other is another kind of Mac plug. (Obviously I use a PC.) Just go read about other brands, like Goal Zero, and you'll see they don't come with nearly that kind of cabling. For the price, huge win. So, tentatively, five stars. After our next hurricane, I'll let you know more....

EF ECOFLOW Portable Power Station RIVER 2 Max 500 for Home Use, 499Wh LiFePO4 Battery/ 1 Hour Fast ChargingLightweight but powerful!Used this while dry camping in my rv in the Florida Keys this winter for 2.5 months. It worked really well for me. Charge lasts a long time! It charges in less than an hour.The only downside was I had to charge it while running my motorhome 7k generator and it drew a LOT of amps so I couldn't run anything else at the same time. Luckily, I have a friend on full hook ups so she charged it for me the times I had to recharge it.Daily I ran 2 fans, charged 2 phones and 1 tablet, made a few cups of coffee, ran a wifi speaker while streaming music from Sirius Xm, recharged a vacuum cleaner, recharged other items and the power station charge lasted 6 or more days never getting below 25% reserve.Never used the car charger or solar charger so can't comment on those. Very happy with this purchase.
