- Power: 800 W (1600 W X-Boost)

Detailed overview
The EcoFlow River 2 Pro is one of the most balanced portable power stations in the sub-1 kWh category. With its 768 Wh LiFePO4 battery and an 800 W output (up to 1600 W peak thanks to X-Boost technology), it runs small appliances as well as sensitive electronics: a camping fridge, a laptop, a TV, light power tools, lighting or photo and video gear.
Its flagship argument is charging: from 0 to 100% in just 70 minutes from a wall socket thanks to X-Stream fast charging, a time few rivals can match. It also recharges via solar (input up to 220 W, full in about 3 hours in good conditions), in the car or over USB-C, making it versatile for van life, camping or travel.
On connectivity, the River 2 Pro leaves nothing out: 4 AC sockets, 1 USB-C 100 W port, 2 USB-A ports and a 12 V car output, enough to power around ten devices at once. The LFP chemistry is rated for 3000 charge cycles, roughly 10 years of regular use before dropping to 80% capacity, and it includes a backup (EPS) function to protect a router, a NAS or a computer during outages.
Controlled from the EcoFlow app (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth), it lets you monitor consumption, cap the charging power to reduce noise and schedule some uses. Its only real limits: a weight of 7.8 kg that keeps it portable but not ultralight, and a capacity that is not expandable (unlike some newer models). For anyone after a reliable, fast-charging and well-equipped station in a manageable format, the River 2 Pro remains a safe bet.
Comparison
At around 450 to 500€, the EcoFlow River 2 Pro takes on several sought-after 700 to 800 Wh power stations, notably through searches such as "River 2 Pro vs Bluetti EB70" or "River 2 Pro vs Anker C800". Here is how it stacks up against three of its most compared alternatives: the Bluetti EB70S, a rugged rival with close capacity, the Anker SOLIX C800, more powerful and of the same capacity, and the Jackery Explorer 700 Plus, prized for its light weight.
| Criterion | EcoFlow River 2 Pro | Bluetti EB70S | Anker SOLIX C800 | Jackery Explorer 700 Plus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 768 Wh | 716 Wh | 768 Wh | 681 Wh |
| Continuous / peak power | 800 W / 1600 W | 800 W / 1400 W | 1200 W / 1600 W | 800 W / 1600 W |
| Battery chemistry | LFP (LiFePO4) | LFP (LiFePO4) | LFP (LiFePO4) | LFP (LiFePO4) |
| Mains recharge 0-100% | ≈ 70 min | ≈ 3 h 30 | ≈ 58 min | ≈ 1 h 40 |
| Weight | 7.8 kg | ≈ 9.7 kg | ≈ 10.9 kg | ≈ 8.3 kg |
| Observed price | ≈ 459 € | ≈ 499 € | ≈ 499 € | ≈ 499 € |
In short, the EcoFlow River 2 Pro remains the most balanced option: it combines one of the fastest recharges in the segment, a contained weight and the best observed price, while offering 4 AC sockets. The Anker SOLIX C800 wins on raw power (1200 W) and a slightly faster recharge, but it is noticeably heavier. The Bluetti EB70S recharges far more slowly, and the Jackery Explorer 700 Plus, very light, offers a little less capacity. For versatile camping, van and home-backup use, the River 2 Pro offers the best overall balance.

Our tester's review: Christophe Delpuech
We kept the River 2 Pro in rotation for several weeks between the office and days out. What strikes you first is the charging: run flat one morning, it was full before we had finished our coffee, barely over an hour. Out in the field, its 768 Wh easily covered an evening of camping with a cool box, lighting and topping up two phones and a laptop. The 4 AC sockets are a real comfort, no fighting to plug things in, and the USB-C 100 W port charges a laptop without its original charger. We also liked the app, handy for capping the charge power and silencing the fans when you want quiet. Two honest downsides: it makes its 7.8 kg felt when you move it around a lot, and the capacity is not expandable, where some recent rivals allow it. But as a first genuinely versatile, fast and well-equipped station, it won us over and remains a benchmark in its class.
