Pros & Cons
Pros
The power station makes a very valuable impression and is well processed. Fit and finish is good - no flexing of the case or panels. Control * are solid and easy to access.
Ecoflow river 2 is amazing, and very portable. Great addition to anyone’s home if they experience occasional power outages. This was purchased for emergency power (outage) use.
The pad draws 44 watts. Bidirectional 100w usb c is very nice. Has 2 usb a, usb c, 2 ac, dc for car.
The riv2 is a great starter or upgrade to your power station collection. One of my favorite ecoflow features is eps (emergency power source), which makes the the river 2 behave like a ups. Thinking of upgrading to ecoflow delta 2.
Cons
Pretty inconsiderate thing for eoflow to do. Worst kind of shady dealing from a company who's brand is supposed to be about innovation. No display and it's functionality is essentially gone.
It is all a scam and i have no clue how this company and their devices have such high ratings. Ecoflow says its my fault for storing it. Sending screenshots of amazon's order.
Ecoflow app is not compatible with the river max. Device is covered under manufactures warranty. Couldn't get app to work even when downloaded.
Highlights
Quality
I’ve been impressed with the quality of ecoflow products & have been following them for some time.
Love this product works great for getting your internet wifi tower powered up again.
The first thing i tested was if it's pure sine wave when i received the product.
This lack of customer service alone would prevent me from buying an ecoflow product again, no matter that it otherwise seems to... Read More
Price
I did some research and really thought about what i was looking for at a reasonable price point.
This is a good unit for the price.

Charges up pretty fast and it charges other items fast as well .

To begin with, the packaging is exemplary - every shipment has been double-boxed (then packed inside a 3rd shipping box) and th... Read More

- provides enough power for 50w uhf/vhf mobile radio.
The meh-some may find that they would prefer a 300-watt- unit, as this one is only around 250 watts.
Other brands of this size claim it’s pure since wave, but when i tried to use them with my wife’s wireless pa system, i get thi... Read More

The power station is small and i would not use it for ac power unless i needed to power something very small for a short period of time
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It does not have enough battery or ac output to power things like a microwave or hair dryer

It would be fine for a fan or something that takes less than 100 watts so you can get about 3 hours of use with it
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I would rather just use a usb powered fan and use this to power that over an ac power fan
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The ac output is around 75 percent efficient which means you will only get about 75 percent of the total watt hours listed on the power station while using the ac output

It is around 85 percent efficient on the dc output

The hotter it is the shorter it will power it
