I like that you point out that you are using heated hose and water chamber on your cpap that you used to test with. I recently bought a similar one from Wattfun. 295 watt hours. Two things I learned is 1) use a 12v adapter for the cpap if possible. 2) turn off any heater, like you mention, to get longer run time. When i bought mine I did a test run. Resmed 10 with heated hose turned off and humidity turned off and i easily got 4 nights on a single charge. That is the main reason I bought mine and i knew upfront that i would have to turn the heaters off. Like you mentioned if you have to have the heaters on then you need to be looking at 500 watt hours minimum to make it a full night. I like that one can charge via usb C and pc power cable with no power brick. Most of the ones I looked at have a power brick of some sort.
Just bought this and tested it as a UPS back up pass though for my Starlink dish for power outage on a second home. Lasted 3 hours vs a cyber power UPS costing the same amount that lasts 20 minutes. 30 ms switch over relay is fast enough to pull it off. PLUS you can add a 100 watt solar panel to make it last even longer if the power goes out in the daytime. Very happy with this unit. Game changer for me...
My use is a CPAP, but I run mine non-heated/non-humidified off a 12v car adapter. Can get a 4 night camping trip (with cell phone recharging) from a (different brand) ~250Wh unit, and it's not quite dead at that point.
My usage is truck camping from bed using two 100 watt solar panels. During the day it charges, night time I use a 24" TV and charge my devices, summertime it also powers a fan to bring in fresh cooler air. You are right about needing more for your use. It's perfect for mine. I've also ran a smaller lathe off of it at my house.
I have two larger EcoFlow Deltas to power high energy needs. The River 2 is the perfect complement to them. It is so small and lightweight that I can easily move it from room to room to power my lights if we have a power failure.
If you go into the CPAP menu and shut off the humidifier and heater it will work all night. When I'm boondocking I use something similar to power my CPAP. To be honest I never can tell that the humidifier and heater are off. I use the small 300-watt Ryobi inverter sitting on my nightstand with a 5AH 40-volt battery. It charges my cell phone and runs my CPAP all night. You aren't tied to an internal battery. I also have the 1800-watt Ryobi power station for other things in the camper. Again not tied to an internal battery. I simply rapid charge as many batteries as needed during the day when running a gas generator.
I have been researching portable power systems for about 6 months. Solar is what I want. For backup emergencies. Mainly for oil-filled heaters. I like Eco flow and Pecron.
I got one to test and am getting a few more. My use case is primarily as an UPS replacement. Traditional UPS units have limited power and battery life. I wanted to test the UPS/EPS feature, and it works great. One will be the UPS for my home server that draws 50-80 watts. One for the TV drawing 60 watts. For my use case I see no real world difference in switching speed as a UPS vs. The APC units they are replacing, but they provide so much more utility and longevity. This is for the base River 2 which many have tested as having a faster switching relay vs the Max and Delta units. I also like that while I am using them as an UPS I can limit the max charge to 80% so they aren't just sitting at max charge constantly. I really hope we see a lot more LFP/LiFePO4 UPS options in the next couple of years. The traditional UPS leaders are charging insane prices for LFP UPS units with very limited capacity.
I've been really impressed with all of Eco's equipment that I have seen. That unit or maybe the next one up would be nice for us when we are tent camping. I can see it coming in useful for various small appliances or lighting in place of the Coleman lanterns.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! If you've been impressed with Eco's equipment, I highly recommend considering the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It offers massive capacity, powerful output, and a waterproof design, perfect for camping and outdoor adventures. It's an excellent option for powering small appliances and lighting during your tent camping trips. Check it out!
I tested both this and the bluetti eb3a on a 12 volt dc refrigerator. Both had identical results at 37 degrees and 71 ambient. The 2nd test with the bluetti lasted 20 hours and 20 mins the new river lasted 20 hours. First test with the bluetti was 17 hours and 30 mins but was hotter during that time.
I see you out there buying up all the new toys, doing all the tests. So in your opinion what did the firmware updates do to improve the River 2? They don't really say what they address.
@rizipt true . But after the fw updates it ran a much longer runtime on my dc fridge. There was a total of 2 fw updates. First test on the river 2 ran about 10 hours on the dc fridge and I was going to return it in disappointment
@@DoritosResidue I've already made my purchases but this is good stuff to know thanks. Was kinda on the fence between a couple Ecoflow and Bluetti products. Right when I'm about to go with Bluetti, Ecoflow starts handing out free stuff. Time will tell if I chose wisely.
I'm glad I bought my original River earlier this year. The River 2 seems to be a blend of the River and the River Mini, but without the wireless charging panel on top. Because this was coming, I was able to pick up the battery expander for $109 last month, leaving me with 576Wh for $330. So far it's been great for our needs.
Don’t be stressed about that. That is still a much more capable unit than this one. Don’t get caught up in the hype. Sure, lifepo may have more cycles(and actually a bit safer), the ones in your box still have 800 cycles(I think…might be 600) until the capacity goes down to 80%….it’s not useless at that point. Unless you are using it daily to keep the lights on -discharging and recharging it- you will still get years of use. Even with the high cycles of the lifepo batteries, there will likely be the “next best thing” anyway.
I only use the river two for on-site photoshoots and interviews. I can recharge the drone and some cameras, and my phone etc. nothing fancy, it is very light and can be connected to the car so it suits me. I do have the River two Pro in the garage has a 800W output and it charges in almost the same amount of time, under 2 hours, that fast charging ant their portable solar panel are the only reason I use them instead on my Yeti tbh
As a locksmith, I like having a 500 to 600 watt power supply in my van as a backup for key machines if I don't want to use my van battery and inverter for some reason. I have been looking for something less than 250.00 to replace my aging DeWalt power station that's about 6 year's old now. I will miss the built in jumper cables on the DeWalt power supply though.
I think both companies make quality products, but it sounds like your needs would be better met by the EB3A. They're similar in battery size but the Bluetti has a bigger inverter. You're not going to get 500w continuous out of the River. It's a 300w inverter.
Bear have a tip for you if you use the cigarette lighter adapter that you can buy for the CPAP machine you'll get a lot more battery life could you won't have a conversion on both ends. Did it for my father-in-law and it worked well.
I needed an UPS / Solar Generator. I don't think the model you checked as a real UPS. Basically, you need a switchover from line to battery in less than 20ms - .020 seconds. I also run enough equipment that needs to be on an UPS that I needed a far bigger capacity. I settled on an FFPower 2000.
Good review. I'm looking for a power station to operate my cpap while camping too and have been reviewing the EcoFlow devices. All the advice says to turn off the humidifier to reduce the power input and buy ResMed HumidX to provide some moisture, but they're not compatible with every mask in dry conditions, it may not be enough. So if you're off-grid, what is your set up?
I am a landscaper. I have transferred over to some electric equipment.Makita LXT 18v using 4ah batteries.Looking at getting inverter for truck.would this be an option? I have extra batteries but could use something to recharge while in field. I asked Makita and they said I would need 1000 watt pure sine converter. Any thoughts
If you want just the inverter I'd look at the new Jupiter full sine inverters at HF. If you want a full solution I'd look at the Delta line from Ecoflo or the Bluetti line.
I know this vid is a bit older, but I've been checking out reviews because eBay has refurb models marked down to $109 (with a coupon code), I think that's worth the lower power output. Just a bummer you can't link another one.
If you can, get a 12v car adapter for your CPAP. I can get a lot more time powering my CPAP from the 12v port on my power banks than on the 120VAC plugs. The power losses converting from battery to 120VAC then back to 20VDC (for my Resmed unit) burn up a lot of juice.
Love my ecoflow, there customer support is way better then the other companies if u have issues, most people complain about the small battery size in the new Gen 2 rivers but they always get the smallest model and expect the most. You kinda did ask to much of the River, now try the River pro with extra battery or the River 2 Pro and it will last you all night. Edit: River Pro is 600watt constant 1200 watt spike, River Pro 2 is 800 watt constant and 1600watt spike.
@@McRootbeer yes I stated that because he didn’t get it right, so I made the edit. I said “now try the River pro with extra battery or River 2 pro and it will last all night” meaning it has more battery life. Why do you need someone to explain that to you to understand.
@@402SHO I'm aware the bigger river models have more capacity. I just find it weird that when talking about capacity (a.k.a the problem) you quoted the inverter outputs of the mentioned systems (a.k.a. not important) instead of their capacity. Also, in the video Jeff mentioned that he looked at the capacity of the next size up of the river 2 series and saw that it too did not have enough capacity to power his CPAP all night. He didn't mention the largest one, but I doubt he's unaware of it.
Looking to use 2 CPAP's while camping for 2-3 nights without humidity or heated hose. Picked up the River 2 MAX, and some DC adapters for the cpap machines.
My mother relies on an oxygen concentrator to live. She can't survive without it. So I've been looking for a way to power it during power outages. Our power typically only goes out for a few hours at a time. But sometimes we have a winter event that knocks it out for a day or two. I really, really, really wanted some kind of battery backup. But they are far, FAR too expensive for the ones large enough to power her concentrator for 8+hrs. So yesterday I bought a Predator 4500/3650 gas powered inverter generator. My first generator ever. When you have someone's life that literally depends on power and you are low income and can't pay thousands of dollars for backup power systems it's very stressful. I wish companies like EcoFlow would work with poor caregivers like me and give us some kind of discount. I'm not trying to keep food cold or watch TV and internet when the power goes out. I'm literally just trying to keep someone alive!!
So you bought a 700-$800 gas generator when you could spend excatly the same on a river plus a panel even maybes , then no fuel to buy , no real maintenance -clean carburettor, change fuel or such . Then this could stay inside rather than a gas gen running outside with noise and fumes. As you say when someone’s life is on the line, did you get a discount from the predator generator company ?
@@Gurney-H I didn't get a discount from predator. But I did get a $70.00 discount from HF by opening up a HF credit card. My mother recently passed away. And I learned a LOT about how terrible it is to have someone's life literally depend on electricity never going out. Especially since we were poor living on one person's SS. And not able to afford fancy back up systems that cost thousand. It was awful! Now I'm 58 with a 15 year gap in my work record. And I need to somehow find employment in a highly age biased country because I did not get paid one dime for caring for mom. I'm pretty screwed. As most caregivers are. There's no financial support for children caring for their sick parents in this country. It's disgraceful.
I hate that neither ecoflow or bluetti have expansion ports on their smaller power stations. If they can engineer the big power stations to have inverters that parallel and plug and play expansion batteries, why not put that in the smaller stations too?
One of the most inefficient aspects of such a power bank is the inverter. The inverter converts the low voltage DC from the batteries to the high voltage AC, for the outlet plugs. If you have a CPAP that runs on 12 volts, you could have procured an adapter from the 12-volt, car type, to your CPAP and plugged it in that way. It would have increased your operating time significantly. However, even then it would have not likely lasted the night. Next time, it might be worth a try.

With the one hour charging it requires, it does offset the capacity. I can charge it as much as I want too.
