    The EcoFlow River 2 Pro has been one of the best portable power stations for camping or light emergency backup solutions, however the market is constantly growing with new competition! EcoFlow is known for making some of the best larger units (like the Delta Pro and the Delta Pro Ultra), but when it comes to smaller ones, we think there's some room for improvement, especially when comparing it to the all new Anker C800X. We would also LOVE to try out all the testing that EcoFlow did when they filmed their video thrashing on the River.. so if this video gets to 1,000 Likes, we will re-create that video!

    Good vid..you don't need to break things but real world stuff would be helpful. Like normal drop tests, ie. Falling out of a truck to the ground. Maybe some moisture tests for humid days and humid tents and light rain or a drink spill. Dust and dirt. And environmental hot and cold conditions and any effects it may have. Thanks keep up the good info!

    The fan was ramping up and down @6:47 because the load was increasing and decreasing. Pretty simple. More load requires more cooling. If you plugged it in to something that was a constant load, the fan runs at a constant speed according to the load.

    So I just watched to your video on the anker C300. anker said it charges 100% in 1 hr, you tested it at 1h 8 min. You said still within range so it's good. This video, ecoflow says 1 hr to charge, you tested it at 1h 3min and said it's a little disappointing and it does not math.....WHAT?😂

    200 watts of solar is plenty. Works great to quickly charge my larger Delta Pro 2.

      I got the normal River 2 (with 300w inverter and UPS, I use it for my wifi and TV) for basically free. I did some extra work looking after kids last summer and the local government gave me a ton of gift cards at the new year. That price was right!

    I'll check your review of the Anker, but part of my leaning towards the EcoFlow is the 5 yr warrantee. Big for me. Plus I could care less about a lite!!! But that anger looks interesting....

    Pretty much every Power Station today has an Xboost type feature and they all basically work the same.
    Its primarily useful for handling spikes when an appliance is turned on.
    So your main drawbacks noted are: is ugly, boost feature works as advertised.
    This "review" reads as an advertisment for Anker. The fact that the Anker is a good bit larger really undermines the comparison since the River series is about portability.
    This entire review really misses the mark.

    Hi, I am curious. It seems that the river 2 pro and I suspect others self drain rather quickly as in 80% over 2 months. Is this due to the bluetooth /wifi searching for a connection, can it be turned of in a hibernation setting ? Thanks

    Too bad that Anker can't sell their powerstations on my country while they already had their stores exist in the mall, just selling small powerbanks only. Btw, it is also made in china same as ecoflow. I will go with brand with local store for aftersales support.

    Try turning the screen on in a dark room and you'll find the light! I use mine as a UPS, I had to put electrical tape over the screen. It's blurry, but can still be read quite clearly through the tape!

    This is being sold on auction en masses, Costco still has a lot unsold. It's a problematic model, you only get half of the rated capacity if you're lucky.

      @pauljansen6650 LOL! There's an auction where they put this up for auction three at one bid. They sell for around 400-600 for all three. It's almost sold out at Costco. And yes, I've seen these units drop the hours anywhere from 50-60 soon as you turn the inverter on. Very inefficient model.
