EF ECOFLOW WAVE 3 Portable Air Conditioner, 1800W/6100 BTU Cooling and 2000W/6800 BTU Heating, 1000W Fast Charging in 75 mins, 8H Wireless Running, APP Control, for Camping, Vanlife, RVs

I've been testing this for a few days and it has exceeded my expectations in functionality and performance so far. It's a large unit so it is a bit clunky to move, especially with the add-on battery, but I think it's worth its weight for what it does. I haven't needed to make any massive temperature adjustments yet, but so far for my purposes the cooling and heating have both been effective making the space more comfortable, and relatively quickly. There is a bit of noise in both modes when first coming to temperature, I think it is within normal range but I am keeping an eye (ear?) on it. It is much quieter and barely uses any power in Eco mode after it brings the room to temp, seems very efficient. The app is actually well designed and is great for remote control and monitoring. Haven't had any issues with leakage or anything, it hasn't accumulated much water yet. IMPORTANT WARNINGS: You HAVE to duct these properly for them to work as intended. It seems a lot of people don't. Look up which ones to route to where depending on if your unit is indoor or outdoor, it matters a lot. Everything you need is included and easy to hook up and rearrange. If you use the app at all, you need to connect it to the internet and update the firmware right away, or it might behave strangely if you're on older versions.

The EcoFlow Wave 3 packs a serious punch when it comes to portable climate control. Here are its standout features: • Dual Functionality: It’s both an air conditioner and a heater, delivering 6100 BTU of cooling and 6800 BTU of heating— enough to change the temperature by 15–17°F in just 15 minutes. • Multiple Power Options: You can run it via standard AC power, EcoFlow’s lithium battery, solar panels, or even your car’s power outlet, making it incredibly versatile for off-grid use. • Smart App Control: The EcoFlow app lets you control temperature, modes, and even get water drain alerts remotely. • Dehumidifier & Pet Care Modes: It includes a dehumidification function and a pet care mode that automatically cools when temps rise above a set threshold. • Quiet Operation: Sleep mode runs at just 44 dB—about as loud as a quiet conversation—so it won’t disturb your rest. • Long Runtime: With the optional 1024Wh battery, it can run wirelessly for up to 8 hours in Eco Mode. • Fast Charging: The optional battery can be fully recharged in about 77 minutes via AC current or 3 hours with solar. • With insulation it can cool about 120-180 sq.ft. room. This in my opinion is one of Ecoflow’s better implementation. It is expensive when compared to other window air conditioners/heater combinations, but it is light weight (about 40 lbs.) compared to other heavy air conditioners, and for tent camping, it is beneficial for a good night’s sleep when temperatures are in the high 80s or 90s.

March 14, 2022 - After watching Will Prowse's two YouTube videos about the EcoFlow 600 (i.e., the River), both videos made about a year ago, I decided to buy 3 of them and three of the River Extra Batteries to go with them. However, just in case I discovered a problem, I initially ordered one River and one extra battery. It was good that I did because when I added the extra battery to the River it failed miserably. I had the same problems that Prowse encountered and he solved (to some degree) by a firmware update which was done via the EcoFlow App which he had downloaded to his phone. He had difficulty with the EcoFlow App in making that update, it took hours, but eventually he succeeded. I never crossed my mind that EcoFlow, knowing that a firmware update was necessary in order for the River to function properly with its extra battery, would send the River out without the update and, thus, in a defective condition. That would leave all of its buyers with a headache to have to deal with immediately after installation of the extra battery. Pretty inconsiderate thing for EoFlow to do. Here is what happened to me. I received the River and it seemed to work properly. I did not check to DC input (e.g., solar panel input) to verify its maximums as I figured it would be best to do that after I had received and installed the extra battery. I downloaded the EcoFlow app onto an Android phone using version 7.1.2. The app didn’t work. It recognized the River but would not connect to the internet which it had to do in order to effect any upgrade / update to the River. I viewed various YouTube videos on how to make such a connection but they were out-of-date. Nothing I tried worked. So the next morning, as soon as EcoFlow’ Customer Support Line was available (9am Eastern), I called. However, they were late manning their stations so I go a voice mail prompt. I did as it asked… left my name, my email address and my telephone number. The battery arrived a few days thereafter. I installed it and charged it up. Next I turned on the inverter, which had worked properly beforehand (as far as providing me with the UPS function, and that is when the problems began. The row of LED lights turned red and the River turned off the inverter. I went through a series of repeated tests, unplugging and replugging, turning the River off and then back on, and more but nothing helped. It was the same problem Prowse had encountered… the UPS function (power flow-through) would not work with the added extra battery. And there was no way I could update the firmware because the EcoFlow app did not work either. To make matters worse, the River would not recharge. After all of my testing the charge had dropped to 95% and it would not recharge. I used the River until the charge dropped to 92% but, still, it would not recharge. Again a series of tests but it simply would not recharge. It had been 5 days since I initially called EcoFlow and no one had contacted me. Again, I attempted to reach them by phone and this time I got a nice lady who asked me a series of questions in, what appeared to be, an attempt to diagnosis the problem. However, unless she had just begun to work at EcoFlow, she should have already known what the problem was. Prowse had informed them of it a year ago. Namely, the UPS function did not work with the added battery. She should have acknowledged an awareness of the problem and had a solution ready for me. She did not. So I ended the call before wasting any more time. I then separated the extra battery from the River and guess what. The River still would not recharge. Everything went back into its original boxes, I made a video tape to prove that all parts were being returned, then sent everything back to Amazon for a full refund. Conclusion: As I have already stated, there is evidence that EcoFLow is aware of the UPS problem and yet, apparently, they sold these devices in that defective condition anyway. They also know about the problem with their app (Version 2.7.0, Requires Android 5.0 and up) as it is complained about in many places (see the 2.0 rating out of 5.0 at Google Play). Consequently, because I smell unethical individuals at the top of the EcoFlow heap, I will not have any future dealings with them and suggest that others consider doing the same.

The Ecoflow Wave 3 has thus far been impressive. It was nicely packed, and came with the appropriate cords, a duct template, a drainage hose, and an upgraded duct tubes with insulation. The installation was simple and straightforward. I opted not to purchase the extra battery (for now) to see if I could get away with just using my Deltas to power it up. I tested heating up my small room from 72F and brought it up to 81F in half an hour with an average of 360w-400w on my Delta 2 Max, which is impressive given my space heater uses 1.4kw. A must have accessory is the Wave 2/3 bag. It fits snugly with room for most of the accessories. Unfortunately it didn’t fit the hoses, but you could carry the Wave 3 itself, duct template, and cords. Not to mention it was only $25. I will be using this primarily to heat up or cool down my small room when I’m at home, or camping with my Overlandish tent or take it with me in my travel trailer. It’s light weight and versatile enough to do any. If it goes on sale later on down the road I may purchase another.

Ran it for the 1st last week on our boat. It is working very well.

Would choose 0 stars if possible The unit rattles like crazy ive had it for maybe a week and this has been an on and off issue since the beginning. Not only that but it really doesn't help keep the vehicle from getting hot or tent like its been advertised as and its been shutting off by itself for no apparent reason. No fault not the water being full literally no reason. Way to much money for a useless item. Unless this this is defective I would have no other explanation other then its just junk. Id think twice before you buy. Ps. customer service hasn't even gotten back to me at all really think twice on this one

pretty neat, expensive as heck, but works, but do get sick for some reason when ac is on in summer time

Perfect for my use!
