The media could not be loaded. This is a fantastic new addition to Ecoflow's line of "power houses". If you're like I was, you are reading these reviews in hopes of finding more sincere information about the product. I was hesitant at first to purchase this unit thinking it's the same thing as the smaller rivers with just an incremental increase in capacity from them. Noting that output power increases with the River2 Pro, I decided to give it a shot. After receiving the River 2 Pro (very well packaged I might add) I immediately put it through its paces.So here are a few real life uses I tried. First I wanted to verify the 800 watt a/c output specification so I plugged in a 800 watt coffee maker I happened to have and it ran flawlessly (see pic), putting out slightly more than stated. Next up was the toaster that came in at 711w , a household vacuum at 450w , and of course recharging phones , laptops, running lights, large fans and my newest "fan" favorite the 5 inch USB powered fan drawing a whopping 2w on low to 4w high !!! Yes it moves air !! Next up was the pellet stove . It easily powered the fans , blowers and auger, no problems there. The stove pulled about 150w on fans and 200w only when the auger kicks on for 3-5 seconds.In reading reviews and product questions both posed on Ecoflow products and other sites, I've seen a lot of questions regarding whether you can run sump pumps or not. So when it comes to sumps the problem is surge power, the power initially needed to get the pump started. It's a quick "jolt" of power, so quick its usually not observable on the screen. Anyway, I hooked the River2 Pro up to a 1/3 HP sump pump with a surge power of what I think is around 1300w -1600w. It ran like a champ! (see the video, volume up). I was instructed on how to calculate surge power on a sump to know the size generator that was needed. The general formula is this: Amps x voltage equals watts. Now when calculating surge you must multiply your amps x 4 then plug that number into the formula. My pump specifications stated it was 3.5 amps, so 14 amps x 115 volts (as stated on pump specs) equals 1610 watts of surge. Now I think this is bit over the actual surge needed but I provide the info for your consideration and your own pump's application. That being said the River2 Pro will be great with this pump during prolonged power outages.Recharging is as easy as plugging it to an outlet or using its solar charging capabilities. Both get the job done amazingly quick overall. The ability to use the unit as it charges is an awesome feature, not unique but worth mentioning due to the speed of charging in Ecoflow units and their LiFePo technology. It allows you to use higher wattage devices with far less battery depletion as it charges when your output exceeds total input. The Ecoflow App allows for monitoring of all input, output and state of charge. (see pics).Well I bought this unit specifically for its portability and "battery life" capacity for outdoor activities, but it's nice to know what it can do when its time to come indoors !! I've quickly realized that excursions to locations "not" so far off the beaten path can be made easier and so much nicer with the battery capacity of the River 2 Pro. This unit fits nicely into a small tote with room to spare for protection from elements. Its easy to get carried away with the possibilities, like throwing it on a wagon and taking everywhere a wagon will go !!So all in all, I give the River2 Pro 5 stars across the board. I highly recommend it for those seeking portable sizeable storage capacity . But more than that I recommend it for its outstanding functionality.

I recently purchased the EcoFlow River 2 after wanting something a little smaller for more frequent outings. As an outdoor enthusiast and remote worker, having a reliable power source is essential, and the River 2 Pro has proven to be exceedingly capable.Coming from the Delta 2 I had high hopes for the River 2 Pro and I wasn't disappointed! I was surprised the colors of the plastics between the Delta and the River differed, but the overall build quality was spot on. The River 2 Pro is SO much easier to carry around, partly due to the larger handle but also due to it weighing 10 pounds less, that weight is very noticeable.The River 2 Pro is surprisingly versatile, with enough ports to charge and power various devices simultaneously. Not that I necessarily do that, it was awesome to see that you can use all the ports at the same time and have it chug along with no problem. Was able to charge my iPad Pro, MacBook Pro, ASUS G14, Panasonic Camera, Phone, small battery bank, 12v fridge, and even a toaster! All at the same time. Color me impressed.One of the most significant upgrades in the River 2 Pro is the LFP battery chemistry, like the Delta 2, which allows for over 3000 charge cycles which gives great peace of mind that this unit is going to last and have no fear of actually using it. On some of my old Lithium Ion battery banks I was nervous about using too frequently and shortening it's life, that worry has all but disappeared with the Delta 2 and River 2 Pro.Additionally, the new battery technology enables faster charging – approximately an hour using AC (at 940W) and 3.5 hours using solar (at 220W). Living in Washington state we see our fair share of overcast days, especially in late winter / early spring. And despite that, the River 2 Pro matched the capability of the Delta 2 using the EcoFlow 220W bifacial portable solar panel. This is a game-changer for those who need a quick and efficient power source. I tend to turn down the AC charge a bit when I don't need a charge right away, this helps the batteries life span in the long run and keeps things a bit quieter. Speaking of which, the River 2 Pro is noticeably quieter than the Delta 2, which was a pleasant surprise. It seems to take the River 2 Pro longer for the fans to kick on, which I love, for my standard use, the fans don't kick in much.I know I have been comparing the River 2 Pro and the Delta 2 a lot, but I do think a lot of shoppers may cross compare them when searching for a single solution. The Delta 2 has become pretty well regarded and for good reason, but don't discount the River 2 Pro. The River 2 Pro does have a smaller battery and quite a bit less power output. However, its compact size makes it an ideal solution when you need a slightly smaller, more portable option that is still about 90% as capable as the Delta 2. This makes the River 2 Pro perfect for remote work, camping, and other situations where a slightly smaller form factor is more convenient.The River 2 Pro has proven to be the perfect solution for my remote work needs (where-as the Delta 2 for me, is more of my long-term camp power station). It has enough capacity to power my laptop, monitor, tablet, and hotspot all day long without any issues. Additionally, the USB-C charging with a 100W input/output port ensures fast charging for my devices.One downside I'd note is that the River 2 Pro has only a single USB-C port, it would have been great to see at least 2 now that most devices are moving toward USB C. Fortunately though, there are plenty of other ports to satisfy most users (including myself). And one thing to note, the River 2 Pro does NOT support simultaneous charging. So you get AC, DC, or USB-C, only one at a time. It does seem to do a great job though at selecting the highest input source and using that to charge.The EcoFlow app is another standout feature, while it does lack some in-app features compared to the Delta 2 (Beep when setting change, 12v DC Timeout), it's still plenty capable and could potentially even come in a firmware update, you can adjust the charge and output rates for optimal long-term use or quickly boost them when you need a fast charge. This level of customization and control ensures that the River 2 Pro adapts to your specific needs.EcoFlow also offers a generous 5-year warranty for the River 2 Pro. Their customer service is exceptional, from my experience with the Delta 2, I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly I could talk to a real person when I had a question about my power station. This level of support is rare and truly sets EcoFlow apart from the competition.In summary, the EcoFlow River 2 Pro is a fantastic, more compact, lighter alternative to the Delta 2, with the added benefit of app control for customized power management. Its power capacity, portability, and versatility make it an essential addition to any remote work setup, weekend camping, or emergency preparedness kit. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and powerful portable power station.
