I got a refurb of this on 7/2023 from
eBay for $123.64 after tax. It's been great and I've only had one or 2 issues with it, here I let it drain so much it didn't want to recharge at first. A simple Google fixed that. I charge it daily and use it daily on my simple solar panel setup and it's been good, so I'd recommend it

I hear a firmware fix solved alot of the common issues, But I do not know if these come with the update or not.

Its equivalent in term of the EF river 2... but the EB3A has 600w vs 300w.. and Bluetti has a little more battery caps

I have both and the Ecoflow is better in my opinion. The Bluetti will not charge after a high draw battery cycle. It needs a couple hours for the inverter to cool down before it will accept a charge again. Even in cooler temps.

The Ecoflow River 2 can be drained, charged and used again immediately.

If you need over 300w, I would suggest the Ecoflow River 2 Pro (eBay refurb) or the Pecron e600LFP (new) over this Bluetti. They are both around $280 right now. The Pecron will do 1200w with a 612Wh battery and the River 2 Pro will do 800w with a 768Wh battery.

Both of those are much better options that this, and worth the extra.

Great feedback. I am just dipping my toes into all of this and picked up the River 2 (256WH) and the 110W solar panel. Use case is all day power for my Macbook Pro and Samsung 5g phone for a cool mobile work spot with a hammock. I also want the ability to potentially hike it in (short hikes) to a primitive campsite and camp out a couple nights.

I think 256WH will be perfect for that, and I don't feel like carrying 17 pounds for the 768WH. That would confine it to car camping only.

I am also thinking the solar panel might be nice to recharge it daily if I'm camping for a few days. If I like this stuff I'm sure they'll be another good deal for the larger capacities down the line. Since I had a $55-ish eBay gift certificate I was trying to use, my total price is like $165 for the 256WH Ecoflow River 2 + 110W foldable solar panel which seems like a good starting place.

This is more suited to running your coffee maker. It won't even run a microwave, let alone an AC unit.

I was responding to someone who clearly doesn't understand watt ratings. You, obviously do. You already know the answer to your question.
