I have a 2022 Toyota Prius that I absolutely love. I can set my air conditioning on Ready Mode and the car will turn on and off intermittently to charge the battery. Only uses a half gallon of gas through the night.
@EvanBlack11 I have a 2011 and mine does too. Some is harder of a kick then others. I am a heavy sleeper so doesn't bother me. But can see where it's a problem
I live in a cargo trailer attached to my truck 24/7 and run my 5k btu window ac unit with a anker 767 power house with 400 watts of solar was considering getting the eco flow to run at night
ive seen them work really well with “crua” insulated tents. maybe you could put a very small 1 person tent in the car and see if it cools the insulated tent because the car is not containing the cold air. to many holes in car for air to escape. you wouldnt be able to lounge in it well but the tent would be very comfortable to sleep in cold air
do more videos like living in my car for 4 years. your good at storytelling and it obviously works and you can get a lots of views and make money from this
These units have drain issues which cause them to stop working and stop air conditioning it’s a well known issue online that is never disclosed in any review video. They also rust within days of running.
Just ordered one a couple days ago and I only need it for cooling in the nighttime. It gets really cold here in Indiana for the winter so I'm hoping the heating function works decently.
Can this Wave 2 be used without the battery or does it have to have the battery in order to run like it? Can it be hooked up to your car cigarette lighter or power bank without its battery in order to operate?
@@RavRovingthis is awesome, thank you so much! I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago. I'm about to be living in my car and it's a lot less scary since I found your channel. You are so basic like what I'm going to have. Thank you for your help and making me feel at ease like I can do this
I just bought the wave 2 got it in on Sat and out of the box not cooling and ecoflow there not so much customer service is unbelievable bad. They also have a "F" rating from the BBB. I would be worry about buy from them!
@@egocheckerlike all products on the market, they are not 100% perfect, you gonna have some good and bad. In my case, it was not EF product failure but they were there to make it right.
@Outdoor-Adventures well I glad you had a great experience! Mine is that they suck take days/weeks to reply back to an emails. They have a "F" rating with the BBB that's says a lot
Absolutely horrible results. That being said it was in full sun and no insulation. I don't care how efficient the unit is, if it cannot drop the daytime temps to a more comfortable level I consider it waste of space inside my rig and detriment to my wallet.
did you setup the drain when you test under the sun? because without setting up the drain, the condense tray gets full in like 15minutes and it will stop the cooling until you drain the water, so you must use the drain pipe to let it auto drain so you dont have to drain it like every 15minutes.
5100 btu must not be accurate in my opinion. Maybe theyre rated like the portable ac's used to be (way off and now they have a new rating system). I would have liked to know the power consumption unless I missed it.
Good tests to see what this can and cannot do . Can do without the music though . Really gets annoying to me personally . The price though is way too much . I can see myself using this while camping as i sleep better with a cool breeze . You did get the temp down low enough by far . I would have it set for 70f at night for sleeping . It can work outside in the sun to keep the edge off . Just would need (outside) window covers to keep the suns rays from creating a greenhouse effect inside the car . But best as you mentioned to park the vehicle in the shade . Overall really liked the video and the tests run
This is great advice, especially in regard to getting the battery. I’ll probably get the unit first and then the battery later. I’ll probably use it more at night and have it connected to a power bank. Thanks for the review!
What's a mini split? Is that a regular home unit you could use in a vehicle if you had enough power? Thanks for the review. I think the results you got were awesome.
Getting insulated window covers would help out drastically. The radiating heat from the sun already adds and extra 10 - 20 degrees of heat inside the car.
Nice test! I also have one and use it in the back of my pick up. I have used it while working remotely in the back of my dark pickup in 90 degree heat too and it does take the edge off. One thing I do have to say is if you wanna run it for like 8 hours or more you need to at least have like 3 100ah batteries in parallel. Yes the shade is ideal.

I wish i had a hybrid rav
Cannot wait to buy our hybrid vehicle . Saving for a Toyota Sienna . Though i like tent camping so find this Ecoflow Wave interesting for tent use .
I have a 05 and I do the same. But idk about the new Prius but my when the engine kicks on the car shakes for a second which can be hard when sleeping

@@williamkamphaus3392 yeah I don't notice it when I'm sleeping. But do when I'm minutes from falling and it wakes me back up 🥱 😂
Thank You For Making This Video, I Hope And Pray That Companies Will Make A Great Wireless Air Conditioner For Cars And Camping ⛺️ To, Someday Soon.
Yeah hopefully technology can progress enough to make them more effective
Best review I’ve seen on this AC thank you bro I was waiting for your review to make my decision
Appreciate that homie!
Glad I saw this video before pulling the trigger. You just saved me $$$$
I continue to learn something new from each of your videos.
Im happy to hear that!
I live in a cargo trailer attached to my truck 24/7 and run my 5k btu window ac unit with a anker 767 power house with 400 watts of solar was considering getting the eco flow to run at night
Nice setup bro. i definitely think it's more suitable for night time use for sure

It's here!!!
It sure is! Haha
Good video. They could work on their window cover design.
I agree. Not really worth 40 bucks
Veey nice test. Now try the BougeRV 4000 BTU. It's a little cheaper than ecoflow.
Yeah I saw that one the other day
do more videos like living in my car for 4 years. your good at storytelling and it obviously works and you can get a lots of views and make money from this
I like making those type videos but people also ask questions so i make these review videos too

I touched on the draining issue i had
Early and keep up the good content ❤
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching

They been sold out of the exhaust ducting for months
Thats wild
شكرا لك ❤
Thanks for watching
Have you tried the mark 11 portable ac
I have not, is it good?
Ecoflow products are extremely expensive... That's why I prefer Vtoman or Jackery
Bluetti is my personal favorite for power stations

Can this Wave 2 be used without the battery or does it have to have the battery in order to run like it? Can it be hooked up to your car cigarette lighter or power bank without its battery in order to operate?
It can run off of your power bank using a regular AC cord

I had great customer support from them..
@@Outdoor-Adventureswell my question would be why are you dealing with customer service to begin with! Sold you a bad product?

You need fresh air vent aswell on the machine
It has an intake hose
@@RavRoving oh okay
😢 somebody will discover it someday 😅 lol
Perhaps a smaller microwave would be best if you find that you need one.
Yeah i regretted getting one that size
youre missing the trick. with the battery and 400w solar panel this is free heating and cooling
In ideal conditions you're correct
So are you gonna give a power station away, or did you just ask last time as a click bait??
Is this video about a power station? When you see a video about a power station im giving away you'll have your answer...
❤😅✌️👍
😅😅
@@RavRoving ...hàhaha

I mean you arent wrong, strictly night time use i think its decent
Hated background music. And too much talking. Sorry, call it like I see it.
Too much talking 😂😂it's a review video bud
😂
Ur a clown 😂😂
Maybe you should stick to shorts bud.
Keep scrolling
Dam bro 😅how you even fit inside you literally have it filled with every eco flow micro-flow, battery 🔋home back up solar system in the small suv 🚙
True 😂😂

I wished more creators would do giveaways. It would help a lot of people out.
It's a win win for everyone
Wouldn't it be better if you only used the exhaust tube so it recirculates the intake air and it's easier to recool like a car does?
I think you're right. I was just using it how the company intended
Possibly having one of the windows opened slightly for fresh air intake
Your trying to cool the hot outside air
Im just using it how they designed it
This is great advice, especially in regard to getting the battery. I’ll probably get the unit first and then the battery later. I’ll probably use it more at night and have it connected to a power bank. Thanks for the review!
Yeah i really think they missed the mark with the battery. Seems like a no brainer if you ask me
Zero Breeze 🤔
I've heard mixed things about it
I think if you have a van or Honda Element you can use a home portable ac unit for 8000-12000 BTU for 4x less the price
What's a mini split? Is that a regular home unit you could use in a vehicle if you had enough power?
Thanks for the review.
I think the results you got were awesome.
Yeah mini splits are really efficient alot of sprinter vans have them, they're just harder to install on a car because of lack of space
Thank you 👍 @@RavRoving
Thanks for the video!
Appreciate you tuning in
Great test! Thank you for doing it.
Thanks for tuning in!
Getting insulated window covers would help out drastically. The radiating heat from the sun already adds and extra 10 - 20 degrees of heat inside the car.
Also sitting under some tree shade would help out too
❤

See you know what I mean by taking the edge off. And yeah you're right I mainly run it a few hours on my 2048wh power station
Very thoughtful testing. Thank you
Thank you!
Fun video thanks for the honest review
I appreciate you watching
Yessir I’ve been waiting for this one
It took a minute 🔥
A very informative video, thanks for sharing.
Appreciate it, thanks for the support
