- 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.
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
For a 256Wh power station that charges in an hour, this River 2 actually takes the cake in terms of speed.
Picked one up on sale during the earth day stuff for $$14 refurbed on ebay. Im a happier camper
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
Thank you helpful! I like the coffee press and water kettle. Good info for camping.
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.
This is best test for this model in youtube! i seen a lot...
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?
Great informative video. Please can you tell me what make/model the kettle is please?
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.
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
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.
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 🙄
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!
The app is an extra and helps you monitor things, but you don't have to use the app. I really never use it.
Where in the app does it say how many times you have discharged it? I have not seen that in the app.
You should test parallel the panels then it works 😊
how much wattage does that kettle normally use, abot 6-700watts?
Where did you get the one cup tea kettle? Could you add a link to find?
This is the one I have: amzn.to/3yzrVB1
It travels everywhere with us.
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.
Yes, they have a inverter that put out 110v AC current (wall current).
How did you broke it ? Would like to know Thanks.
Tripped over the cord and yanked out the socket….. I’m not exactly coordinated.
Fucking loved the review, even the same batteries I need to charge , and the tool leaders talking shit on your tools lmao 🤣
Good day! Can i use other solar panels with river 2 or only ecoflow solar panels?
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
Thanks! That was also the question I was wondering.
Can it charge a laptop througth the USB type C? Does it have enough juice?
Yes, it can. It’s got a 60a output on the usb c outlet.
My car has a 800 watt inverter can I charge the unit that way ..
Yes, you could. Be sure to check in the app that it’s set to pull under 800w while charging.
You lost me when you needed a coffee press.
You lost me when you had a problem with an inanimate object
If you ever made coffee with it, you would completely get it.
