EcoFlow RIVER 2 Portable Power Station
The cheapest EcoFlow worth buying — 256Wh LiFePO4 with X-Boost for $149.
Our Review
The RIVER 2 brings EcoFlow's technology to the budget tier. At $149, you get 256Wh of LiFePO4 capacity, 300W output with X-Boost to handle devices up to 600W, and a 60-minute wall charge. At just 7.7 lbs, it's barely heavier than the Jackery 300 but with superior battery chemistry. The EcoFlow app works here too, providing monitoring and settings. For phone/laptop charging, camping lights, and small device power, it's the best budget option from a premium brand.
