Review: I love mine. It's not perfect, but it's still wonderful. - So I bought this because the company had good reviews and I really liked the idea of having a portable power station to charge things on the go, but also have it serve as a potential POOP-HITS-THE-FAN emergency backup to power a fridge or something for a short time. It's clearly under-powered for that sort of thing, but it still COULD do it. I like that flexibility! Lo and behold, it has started to change my entire life! Suddenly I realized that I could have electric power in that old tool shed that has just served as a storage bin for old toys and mowers. That inspired me to clean up and order the shed, to put in shelving, and more! A few weeks later I also bought my first e-bike, and now I can store it in the shed and recharge the thing without navigating through the garage or removing the battery. This little unit is definitely too small for what I use it for-- it probably has enough juice to recharge 50% of my e-bike in one go, but that's OK! The unit itself is so compact that its easier to charge IT back at the house than move my tools or bike to where the electric is at. That's the beauty of this technology! After a few days of doing that, I realized that there was an even lazier solution I could use: solar! YEP, I could hook up some solar panels on that same shed and it'll recharge the unit automatically and, essentially, my shed is both off-grid and fully electric. I appreciate that it does all of the technical stuff I don't understand, so I just plug in the solar panels and it converts that into sweet, sweet tool juice. The app is also absolutely fantastic- It's fun to see how much it is charging or discharging at any given time. This has inspired me to buy the much bigger brother, a Delta 2, and a 160 watt solar panel to really complete the job. My plans for that are outside the scope of a review of the River 2, but it's worth mentioning that this little device inspired so much madness. So, in conclusion--watch out. This is a gateway device to much larger toys and an increasingly eco-sensitive lifestyle. EDIT: After enjoying this product for about six months now, I wanted to give a quick update. I still LOVE it, especially for the cost and size. It still powers my e-bike on completely solar energy. I use the Delta 2 to recharge this unit on overcast days using USB-C 100watt cables (ends up pulling in about 54watts), and that allows me to reap a little benefit from the Delta 2's 500watt solar input potential (the River 2 can only pull in 110watts max). Another thing to be aware of is that I did have some recent issues with the unit no longer displaying AC charging numbers and no longer pulling a charge through USB-C. This happened after a Firmware update. I contacted support, and the good news is that an updated Firmware update came out three days later that fixed these problems. It was over a weekend, so I didn't get a reply from Support until after it was fixed again, but it is something to be aware of. The Firmware updates sometimes bring new features, but if you have this as backup to a life-saving device, I think you'll want to time those updates to times when the impact would be lessened.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome new power station
*by S***. on September 10, 2024*

I am a user of multiple products from EcoFlow, including one of the original River series power stations. I looked forward to this newest version, the River 3 once they announced it was coming. I was not disappointed. This is a small form factor power station that is good for travel and when you don't have a lot of room but you need something to charge up some of your portable devices or power some small appliances. This weighs in about 10lbs so it is easily moved by most people. Out of the box, I was impressed with the feel of this device. It just seems really well put together. I plugged it into an AC outlet to charge it up and just as advertised, it charged up very quickly. One of the things that I like very much is the accompanying EcoFlow application. When I opened the app, it immediately recognized the new device via bluetooth. Setup on my network was quick and easy and required no real effort on my part. As I looked through the app, one feature that was new to any EcoFlow device that I have seen was a section that showed the current Wifi connectivity. It allows you to verify the connection, see the signal strength, IP address, and even the MAC address. Very handy indeed! It will let you change to a different network, if needed and is just an excellent feature. It is so handy that I even emailed EcoFlow and told them they need to add this to ALL their device applications. I used the River 3 to charge my cell phone and also to power up my laptop, both use USB C connectivity. This is a 300 Watt device with an X-boost up to 600 Watts, so it will handle most small appliances. It is super quiet also. Even when it was charging, I had it in my bedroom while I was sleeping and didn't even hear it. If you need something as a UPS support for a network device or some other small appliance, this device will handle that job. It has 20 MS UPS support, which I tested. It worked flawlessly. I have a network based over the air tuner/DVR that is very sensitive to power outages. It kept going when I unplugged the AC without a hiccup. Very, very pleased with this device and so happy that I made this purchase!
