ECOFLOW RIVER 3 Max Portable Power Station(River 3Plus and EB300) & 160W Solar Panel, 572Wh LFP Battery, Up to 1200W Output, Wireless Connection, Solar Generator for Outdoor, Camping, RV

Highly recommend! I did a lot of research on different brands and sizes before purchasing the EcoFlow River 2 Max. I liked that the solar panel was 160w compared to other similar priced brands were only 100w… this doesn’t disappoint. It means on a sunny day the solar panel charges the battery really quickly so a smaller capacity generator is adequate rather than having to spend loads more on a larger capacity. It was perfect for our needs. I charged 2 iPhones and 2 iPads most days and kept a 50w cool box running during the hottest part of the day. I knew it probably wasn’t big enough to keep the cool box running all night and day (although I haven’t actually tried it!) but we didn’t have anything that desperately needed to stay cold in there and it is insulated enough to last the night and not get too warm. When we went out for the day I put the solar panels on the roof of my van and plugged in the generator and cool box, and was very pleased to discover that the battery was full on our return and the cool box had stayed nice and cool. When we were camping I angled the solar panels to get the best charge and was surprised to discover how just a small change in angle or position can dramatically change the amount of energy produced. The only day it didn’t charge much was cloudy and overcast and even then there was enough energy in the battery to keep the cool box running for several hours, charge phones and still not drop below around 65%! I like the light weight solar panels, I wasn’t sure about the stand and thought it looked a bit flimsy but actually it works well. I will make some covers so the metal stand doesn’t scratch the roof of my van when I put them up there (only when stationary!) I had thought about putting them in the windscreen of my van when out but they are too big for that (my Mum’s unbranded 100w ones fit fine but are much heavier and bulky) however they are fine on the roof and being a van you can’t see there are there anyway - helped by the thin nature of them. The display is clear and I like watching how much charge is going in and out. You can link to an app on your phone but after setting this up I have hardly used it as it is easier to just look at the display. Extremely easy to use and portable… so you can follow the sun around the tent! I like that you can use them anywhere, at home, in the van, in a tent… great for off grid camping or the more basic campsites. I have never paid for electric hook up and don’t intent to start now! Great value for money when compared to other brands, and the 160w solar panel is worth it. I read somewhere to buy the biggest battery and solar panel you can afford, and whilst this was more than I was initially hoping to spend it was worth every penny and I’m glad I didn’t spend more on the bigger capacity ones as for us it would be unnecessary. If you are running a fridge / cool box continuously then you would probably need a bigger capacity but for our needs and just keeping the cool box cold during the day and a bit of device charging it was perfect. We plugged the cool box into the van when driving so that kept it cool then, and in theory we could have charged the battery of the generator when driving too but we didn’t need to. It was a mostly sunny week so the solar panel was all we needed.

Works very well, not too heavy and set up was simple. I use it to power my vehicle lights (beacons etc), while the engine is off (vehicle can be locked and left with warning systems active and not get knicked). The beacon ran for 3 hours and only drew 2% of the stored charge. I can't wait to run it with my laptop... This is the first large portable bank I have purchased, but the information, storage and cost were all exceptional. Good variety of USB and car ports to power the equipment. There were some delivery issues, but EcoFlow were amazing, thank you for that.

Excellent power station, perfect for charging my drone, phone and at my home :-)

We absolutely love this power station. We use it in our motorhome. If we are off-grid we can charge phones, iPad, smaller power banks for many days however when we plugged in an electric cooler fridge it was drained by the morning ( them fridges do use a lot of power though) its portable enough to put in one of the cupboards but it is a little weighty so make sure it's secure. It doesn't have a bad charging time either. All in all very happy with it , would like a larger capacity one and maybe some solar panels then I would be over the moon

Jan 2024 Update: taken 1 star off as similar to my feedback on the Delta Pro, fan management is really poor and machine is just too loud. Other than that unit’s been operating flawlessly. This is the 2nd EcoFlow solar batteries I’ve owned and they are quite something! The previous being top of the range Delta Pro and this new version of portable River2 solar battery compliments its big brother nicely. If you saw their promo video, the new River 2 series are built to last, not only by the long lasting LFP batteries (3000 cycles to 80%/ 10years life even with full daily charge/discharge) but also literally can handle impact / fire / light rain torture tests. EcoFlow provides 5-year warranty for this series too which is great assurance. My user case is a lot civilised only to power my office with an M1 Pro 16’ with a 4k 32’ monitor plus charging up other electronics so I didn’t go with torture testing. I also don’t use DC so this is not tested either. I’ll not spend too long on build quality / customer service etc. as EcoFlow is probably the top player and both reflected well. Now moving to reasons why I really love this River2 Max unit, considering I also own 3 Ctechi portable solar batteries already: 1st and foremost is the rich info LCD displays all key info we need such as input/output wattage / remaining time running or charging / percentages etc which were all missing from Ctechi units; 2ndly, EcoFlow App allows us full control of the unit, anywhere anytime! It is really good app don’t have any complaints from me and works for both my units; 3rdly, one key issue I had with Ctechi was its aggressive USB-C cut out that I can’t use it to run my Mac as it constantly cuts in/out non-stop while EcoFlow River2 runs my Mac as if it is plugged into the wall with the 140w brick that I can even leave it on overnight; Finally, some random bits: it has pure shine wave ac output (2 sockets) up to 1000w can run most of things, efficiency is just under 90%, portable enough can be used for camping trips, 1-usb-c 100w PD both ways (meaning you can charge it up via usb-c), DC outputs. On some small negative side, I’m not a fan of the design with the handle protruding at the back of the unit although it sits nicely on my windowsill flash and the flat top unit to place things (why not implement a wireless charger for example)… also that the fan still on slight loud side (maybe I’m too spoiled with M1 Pro silent machines) I wish EcoFlow can optimise it with future firmware updates. Oh also very annoyingly there’s no MC4 to XT60 cable so if you were like me prefer to use solar will have to purchase separately! For the price I’d expect to have it as minimum… you can see my screen shot from the app, I’m charging it at 100w from Ctechi battery AC outlet as waiting for the cable to come. To wrap up, previously Ctechi’s solar batteries would be my no.1 price/performance choice but the entry level River 2 would now just edged them with much richer functionalities and better technical execution that sits nicely in £250 mark. It is a worthy unit to have and would come handy either to supplement your existing solar batteries or to explore solar living plus added portability for camping etc., not to mention any short term blackouts!

Die EcoFlow River 2 Max im Bundle mit dem 160W Solarpanel Next Gen ist eine sehr gute Kombi. Die Powerstation funktioniert hervorragend, hat genug Power und ist trotzdem mobil genug um z.B. beim Camping oder auf Festivals die notwendige Grundversorgung zu leisten. Das Solar Panel bietet genug Leistung um die Powerstation bei Sonnenschein relativ schnell wieder aufzuladen. Ich würde diese Kombi jederzeit wieder kaufen.

Lo estoy usando como SAI y creo que es una de las mejores compras que he hecho en mucho tiempo. La batería de mi antiguo SAI se degradó y estuve pensando en cambiarla por 20€ y seguir teniendo 10/15 minutos de autonomía o comprarme esta estación de energía de portátil y pasar a 8 horas de autonomía. Es cierto que no es muy económico, pero sin duda merece la pena. Si lo vas a usar con Synology, a pesar de tener un puerto USB-B, DSM no lo reconoce, pero con semejante nivel de autonomía y la aplicación de EcoFlow, da tiempo de sobra para apagar el equipo de forma correcta. El equipo en sí es bonito y favorece es esconder los cables. En la parte trasera dispone de un par de enchufes, que te permite ponerlo en una mesa o estantería y que no se vea nada enchufado a él. Tiene además un enchufe por delante y algunos puertos USB-C y USB-A, ademas de un puerto de salida de 12V típico de mechero. En cuanto al ruido, lo tengo en un despacho en el que hay momentos de silencio y no logro escucharlo; quizás si me acerco mucho aprecio el ventilador. Sin duda este fue uno de los puntos por el que me decanté por este modelo en lugar de por los de la competencia. La aplicación, que es bastante completa, permite configurar un límite de carga para así no tener siempre la batería al 100% y que ésta se degrade. En mi caso lo tengo configurado para que no pase del 80%. Algo que no se suele ver por ahí y que me preocupaba era el tener siempre la pantalla encendida, porque pudiera molestar por la noche, pero pasado un tiempo (quizás unos 2 minutos) se apaga automáticamente y solo quedan encendidos algunos LEDs. En este caso no mejoraría nada. Me parece un producto increíble.

I just used it twice with the 12 v output. It works really well with stable tension. Loading is fast and the mobile phone app is well done and allows parameters tuning and firmware update. I cannot yet tell about reliability, but the first impression is excellent.

Station de qualité et robuste. Rien à redire sur la qualité Ecoflow. Le panneau est efficace et la recharge assez vite. Recharge aussi sur allume cigare et secteur donc super polyvalente.
