The differences that matter
- Continuous output: 300 W vs 600 W → the Plus Wireless runs several appliances together, the RIVER 3 only a light load.
- Warranty: 2 years vs 5 years.
- Maximum solar input: 110 W vs 220 W → the Plus Wireless recharges faster from a panel.
- AC outlets: one on the RIVER 3, three on the Plus Wireless.
Which one to choose
Choose EcoFlow RIVER 3 if…
The RIVER 3 is enough for a light load, up to 300 W continuous, for whoever wants the cheaper entry point in the range. The trade-off is a shorter warranty, 2 years against the Plus Wireless's 5, and solar input capped at 110 W.
Choose EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus Wireless if…
The Plus Wireless holds a continuous load up to 600 W, has three AC outlets instead of one, and accepts solar input up to 220 W. In exchange it's heavier to carry, 5.2 kg against the RIVER 3's 3.5 kg.
