The River 2 Pro has a surge rating of 1600W. And yes, YMMV for high-draw appliances.
My experience on 6 units was that high surges will kill the inverter every single time. Disable X-Boost and forget about the high surge devices or you'll soon have a dead unit.

I couldn't say no to this with the 160w solar panel combo for $350. Seems like a good basic setup for when SHTF

We had a "bomb cyclone" here in the Seattle area this winter and our power was out for 5 days. Our cul de sac was littered with extension cords from various generators as people tried to keep fridges/freezers powered primarily. A unit like this, per the chart someone linked earlier, will only run a 120W fridge for 6-12 hours, but I'm also reading that the surge at turn on may kill this device. On top of that, we have a garage fridge as well which I assume most have so we consolidated food into 1 and ran it from my neighbor's generator, but ultimately needed to power the house fridge as well so that would get me down to like 3-6 hours runtime with this unit. Charged some phones and tablets occasionally with this input too. Internet was out nearly that whole time so powering a router and mesh network wasn't needed.

So that being said, this seems like it would be a great unit for charging devices, plugging in some lamps, running an occasional blender or coffee machine, but I would still have a major issue with needing to power by refrigerators. And in this case, needed to power them for over 120 hours (rare, but gas generators worked fine).

With a larger unit like the Delta 2 or even this unit, is solar charging a real possibility for extending run-time? It's always cloudy here when the weather is bad enough to make the power go out. I really don't want to buy a huge, extremely loud generator and have to store it. But I also don't want a battery based until like one of these to only last a few hours! Thanks everyone, I know very little about these things obviously!

If you have several of this units, you can recharge them from your car cigarette port, then it will last for several days with some work. Again, this is a budget solution, if you can afford higher price, consider bigger unit.

What you need is more battery power to last all that downtime. You need to buy a battery to extend the amount of time this "solar generator" can run. You simply plug the battery into the solar port on the ecoflow and it treats it like solar power is coming in. It'll keep your eco flow battery topped off at 100% and use all the battery power first before using the ecoflow's built in battery. Here's a great deal:

https://slickdeals.net/f/18153907-12v-280ah-eco-worthy-lifepo4-battery-w-6000-cycles-low-temp-protec...

What you do is buy the ecoflow, then buy that battery, then buy a battery charger, then buy a cable to connect the eco worthy battery to the solar input of your ecoflow.

Battery Chargers (Set them to Lifepo4):
$27 slow charger but cheap (takes 3 days to charge that battery)
https://www.amazon.com/ULTRAPOWER...B08MPX414R

$60 faster charger (Takes 12 hours or so to charge that battery)
https://www.amazon.com/Automatic-...B09XV4NJV7

$13 for a 3ft cable from the eco worthy battery to the solar input of the ecoflow (Red goes to positive on the battery, black to the negative)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCSF1277/

Total cost should be around $600.

Let me give you some numbers....the ecoflow unit has 768 watt hours...the ecoworthy battery has an additional 3500 watt hours, so it's like having a bigger gas tank...you'd have 4300 watt hours. With that, you can run 100 watts for 43 hours (maybe a little less since the unit wastes a little power, so safely, I'd say 30-35 hours.)

A single light bulb is around 15 watts and can be run for 12 days straight with this setup (or 2 lights for 6 days straight...3 lights for 3 days straight, etc). You can easily charge all laptops, phones, all small rechargeable devices, many times over, even run a small 500 watt electric heater for a few hours during power outages.

Let me know if you have any questions. This is the cheapest way to run a lot of small things for a long time off battery power.

can you just charge it from your car cigarette port? Assuming you have full tank of gas or ev charge.

Yes but not really. It'll kill your car battery unless you're driving/idle while charging. It's fine for charging in your car for maybe one hour but that's still not going to give you a lot of power. Your car battery holds probably the same amount of useable power as the ecoflow battery.

Does this thing able to power a heat gun? We do mobile windows tinting and running wire extension is too much for us.

Judging by someone on here posting that it wont power their fridge, I guess I need to up my "surge" requirement to 2kw.

Trust me when I say I'm definitely itching to buy this + battery like someone posted above. But for my needs, it looks the lowest I can go is the Delta line.

What's the use case for it? It seems limited? I could be wrong.
I have replaced all my lead acid ups systems with 9 various size ecoflo units, including a couple like this one. Much longer battery life, tired of replacing batteries constantly.

figure out the peak wattage draw of the heat gun and you'll have your answer. as long as it's under 800W you should be fine

If you have EV, the EV will periodically recharge the 12V battery (at least it happens in Tesla)

If it was during winter and it is cold outside, why run fridges, if you can take food outside? Especially if it deeps to freezing temp and bellow.

Thanks for the heads up, didn't realize there were so many combos on sale. Just got the same for car camping.
