Traditionally, the USB connection on a UPS is to advise the computer when the battery is running out, so that it can do an orderly shutdown. As the manual for the River 3 Plus is not yet on their website we will have to see if this is the case. I have ordered one and await its arrival.
I appreciate your honesty and helpful information. I’m actually going to purchase one because of this video and I will use your promo code. It’s a definite win win for everyone. Thanks again sir and merry Christmas.
I think this is perfect for on the go…put in your car when you go on a trip or a day ride…never know when you’ll need a bit of extra power to charge a cell phone or something else….who knows your battery may quit on you and you didn’t charge your cell phone before you left….could save your life 👍
Great review! I have 3 backup power stations. 2 of them are no good. I am going to purchase the River 3 Plus ASAP! I love the expansion capabilities! Thanks again and Have a Great Day!
Great review. As of this, the River 3 Plus has all the features I want with enough power to run a refrigerator at the absolute best price. My mom got me a gift certificate to put towards a power station for Christmas. I will be using your Amazon affiliate link.
Great Video.Regards from Germany. I started with the Delta 2 and now I have ordered the River 3. the plus Night be an Option. I am looking for Daily sun Support and I love the small Solution….
@@TechMadeEzy I am using two 100 w stationairy and another 160 W for the Delta. Still waiting for the River 3, today I have got the 45 w Solution Panel. This will be interesting in the next months, Like sitting in the Garden and loading your Tablet outside. I Like your Channel a d I am Open for Solar solutions. Please keep is updated. Thx.
Sorry, but after watching this video, I’m glad I bought the new River 3, and not the River 3 Plus. The whole purpose, for me, was that it was small, yet still capable. The Newer River 3 Plus is too big. It’s nice that you can expand it, but I believe that most people looking for more power would buy a bigger unit with more peak output than to simply add more watts. I like my River 3 and my Delta 2 for when I need extra power.
Too big? The River 3 Plus is 9.2×9.1×5.8 in and the River 3 10×8.3×4.4 in. That's pretty close in size for 2x the amount of power and the capability of expansion.
@@Bobster986 Completely agree. Nice idea but silly. All that just to end up with what you could have got cheaper and smaller. Maybe a 500 or a 700 wh that could be doubled but still…….. Anker nailed it with the 1000 that can be doubled. Now they need to come down on the expansion batteries for it to make sense. Expansion is the future but not if its 2x the price .
Battery can be removed and you can plug another one with no issues. Can't confirm the other question but check back with me when I'm back from travel this weekend and I can do that test for you. Good question
I did not quite follow what is going on with the 2x time on the under 100W load feature. Does the unit have a selection to have one of the AC ports be a
1st nice youtube channel 👍🏼 To answer you, No the 3 plus doesn’t have it but if you have the extra battery The battery does have the USB C in and out so you can charge both when the battery is connected
@TechMadeEzy doing really well. I took the last month off for the holidays, but I'm jumping back into it after I get rid of this cold. The flu has hit our area really bad.

This feels like a hostage review........All that for 800ish watt hrs!!! I'm an EcoFlow fan but in this case the Bluetti AC70 beats it hands down it has the same capacity and a 1000 watt inverter.
@@TechMadeEzy eesh. Thank you SOO much for replying and confirming this. The reason I ask is mine (RIVER 3 Plus ) has a loose part/screw rattling inside so I thought it was shorting out on the motherboard on some component causing chemical smell. I remember the Bluetti EB55 and the EB70 had that AC charger separate from the unit and it smelled bad. Years ago, Samsung 24" TV's had bad capacitors that did this same smell. With this experience, and past experience, I will NOT be buying Ecoflow RIVER 3 Plus again. Do all the Ecoflow's smell like chemical too? The Bluetti's cleared up (newer units don't smell).
I’ve seen most of these units. Have an initial smell again. Some people are more sensitive than others, but I found it to be a light smell that did go away overtime, buddy.
This concept doesn’t make sense. Add an expansion and end up with something just adequate and bigger and more expensive than just buying a more powerful one. This one will fail. Sorry ecoflow.
Sorry, but a measly 300 watts? Just enough electricity to wish you had none at all. It'll charge your cellphone and laptop, run a lamp for awhile... big deal.... My humble advice? Save some money and grab a MINIMUM of 1800 watts where you can at least run a frige! Wait for sales and grab one at the lowest price possible. In hindsight, you'll be glad you did. The Ecoflow Delta 2 is a great unit! And they are trying to clear the warehouses of the Delta 2's right now to replace it with the new Delta 3's. Don't take the easy shortcut here and settle for a River!

Excellent comprehensive review. Thank you for the time you put into these reviews.
Thanks so much

In this case, your computer would be plugged in and you would be using the USB B cable with some software
Correct

I would like to see a comparison between this and the anker solix 300

Hey, thanks buddy and definitely get a solar panel. That’ll definitely help from time to time.

🙏 I'll be going for a Plus when they are released in the UK.
Nice choice!

More watts hrs win hands down with me.

Is the extra battery hot swappable?
Can you charge the main unit and EB at the same time through the EB's USB C?
Battery can be removed and you can plug another one with no issues. Can't confirm the other question but check back with me when I'm back from travel this weekend and I can do that test for you. Good question
@@markteedot the manual does say to turn everything off before swapping the battery. It sounds like it works in practice 🤷♂️
I did not quite follow what is going on with the 2x time on the under 100W load feature. Does the unit have a selection to have one of the AC ports be a
They both have a technology called X-GanPower, EcoFlow claims devices that use 100w or less can run 2 x longer because of this technology.
@@TechMadeEzy I get that, but dont understand the what and how of it.
Same here
Can you charge the River 3 Pro via USB-C, like you could the River 2? I know they removed that function with the regular River 3.
1st nice youtube channel 👍🏼
To answer you, No the 3 plus doesn’t have it but if you have the extra battery The battery does have the USB C in and out so you can charge both when the battery is connected
@TechMadeEzy Thanks! I was actually just watching your full River 3 Pro review and found where you covered that. Great vid!
thanks bud, hows your channel going?
@TechMadeEzy doing really well. I took the last month off for the holidays, but I'm jumping back into it after I get rid of this cold. The flu has hit our area really bad.
Awesome happy new year. I hope to hear more from you. I wish you the best.
Без дополнительной батареи river 3 plus может отдавать до 1200 Вт или это только с батареей?
That’s x boost
Battery has nothing to do with power
I checked the power sheet, it will deliver 300 watts by itself and 600 watts with either expansion battery.
Можно ли от river 3 plus запустить принтер для печати?
A printer it depends on what printer , small home printers shouldn’t be an issue most of them don’t use much
So the river three plus is available right now where can I buy it I looked on one place it said $209 Is that kind of in the ballpark

You are now released and you were no longer a hostage. Enjoy your life.
RIVER 3 plus, anyone else notice a nasty chemical sell if you smell the vents of this unit? My room smells of this chemical and I have had it 5 hrs
It shouldn’t be that strong but definitely it’s noticeable it does go away after sometime
