Bought this (River Pro) from Costco a couple weeks ago to run our fridge because I get periodic power outages and live in hurricane country. I've already tested it and used it during an outage; it runs our inexpensive full sized fridge for 6-7 hours. You might get more time running a more efficient fridge.

If outages happen at night, I just need to plug in the fridge and go back to sleep rather than starting the generator. During the days of outages after a hurricane, I will be able to charge this during the day from my generator while simultaneously running my fridge, then at night secure the generator and run the fridge from the battery.

The power station can run devices higher than 600 watts, but it starts to drop the voltage after 600 watts. It appears to handle the surge wattage draw from my fridge just fine, but I haven't tested it long term. I have not tried running two 600+ watt things on multiple outlets, but I would guess the limit is 600 watt total, not per outlet.

FWIW, it also runs 600 watt/second photography monolights, although there is some voltage drop at higher power levels.

I bought a cheap knockoff version of a Kill-a-watt to measure power usage when I bought this. It makes it easy to see usage stats for your electronics and see if the River Pro is dropping the voltage for your device.

If you're buying this for power outages, having an outage alarm like this is very useful:
https://www.amazon.com/Reliance-C...B018A30T8Q

When the power goes out, it lights up so you can see and beeps. It's helpful to find flashlights and the power bank, and also wakes you up to plug in fridges or whatever. You can then stick the alarm on a splitter coming out of the River Pro, so that when the battery runs out you are alerted.

Great deal It matches the previous FP back in January.

Technically you posted this "deal of a lifetime" back in 2005 though https://slickdeals.net/e/124309-27-lcd-tv-699-00-price-mistake
A 27" Westinghouse LCD screen for only $699 haha. Hopefully it served you well.

Note this is the River 600 Pro not the R600 Pro which can be confusing. This one here has Ali-ion batteries for those who care about that. Nice deal nonetheless for a quality product

Edit: Li-Ion I'm sorry for confusing everyone as much as it seems I did

What are "Ali-ion" batteries? Did you mean Lithium-Cobalt-Ion (traditional Lithium-ion) batteries? As opposed to the recent availability of LiFePO4 (Lithium-Iron-Phosphate) batteries?

And what/how is the R600 different?

In for one, thanks. Never hurts to have a backup for a backup for a backup power source in Houston.

Amazon [amazon.com]

Looks like EcoFlow is selling it for 450 with a 100 dollar coupon to make it 350?

I think your Amazon link is only an extra battery for the power station in the OP. In other words, it wouldn't work standalone.
