EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro is a lithium iron phosphate power station that sits between a backpack and a van: roomier than a day-trip unit, light enough for one person to move alone. It handles a camping fridge, a small tool, the equipment for a day of work away from the grid.
Plugged into the outlet it acts as backup, but the switch to the battery leaves a gap of about thirty milliseconds: lights and the modem don't notice, a computer might. To start a motor or a heating element that needs more than its continuous rating, there's a dedicated function that raises the ceiling for a moment.
It charges from the outlet, the sun, the car or USB-C, and from the grid it's back to nearly full in under an hour: the difference between waiting until the next morning and getting going right away. It's controlled from the buttons on the panel, and the app is for checking on it from a distance, not for making it work.

Which documents this page rests on
The rest of the data comes from 2 pages on the manufacturer's site, cited row by row in the table above.
A manual or a datasheet counts as a source even when the original file is hosted elsewhere: what matters is the document, not the server. Where that happens, it is stated above.
What it really costs
How we worked it out

- the manufacturer does not state the guaranteed total energy throughput, which for heavy users is often the limit that runs out first
- on nominal capacity: the manufacturer does not state the usable figure, so the real cost is higher

These numbers are calculated, not stated: they have no source to cite, they have a formula you can redo. The price used is the manufacturer's list price, which is stable and the same in every country — not a shop's price on the day.
Pros and cons
In favour
- From the grid it's back to nearly full in under an hour: no waiting to get going again.
- It starts a motor or a heating element that needs more than its continuous rating.
- It also charges from the sun and the car's outlet: away from home it doesn't depend on a single outlet.
- It handles a camping fridge while staying a weight one person can move alone.
Worth knowing
- The switch to the battery leaves a gap of about thirty milliseconds: for equipment that can't tolerate it, it isn't the right choice.
- Only one AC outlet: two plug-in appliances together need a power strip. source
