DJI Power 1000 vs EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max
Technical comparison · Compact
They are not the same size: the DJI Power 1000 has twice the capacity (1.024 kWh against 0.512) and runs household-appliance loads, while the RIVER 2 Max stays under 500 W (manufacturer-declared figures). What you want to keep running decides it.

The differences that matter
- 2200 W vs 500 W continuous → above 500 W the RIVER 2 Max is the wrong machine.
- Solar input 800 W vs 220 W → the DJI takes a proper array of panels; the RIVER charges from the sun in small steps.
- Charging from the wall 1.2 kW vs 0.66 kW → the DJI fills up at almost twice the speed.
- Uninterrupted (20 ms) vs backup with a pause (30 ms) → on the RIVER the switch to battery leaves a short gap in power.
Which one to choose
Choose DJI Power 1000 if…
you want to run household appliances with an uninterrupted switch to battery, charge a laptop from USB-C at 140 W and fill the battery from the wall from 0 to 80% in about 50 minutes. The cost is weight: it weighs more than twice as much.
Choose EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max if…
you need a phone, a laptop and a router: USB-C goes up to 100 W and the machine weighs 6.1 kg, easy to carry. You give up the power for household appliances.
