EcoFlow RIVER 2 Portable Power Station With Solar Panel Now Just Under $190, All-Time Low Price Ahead of Black Friday

Portable generators get smaller and smaller every day it seems, and more of them are now solar-powered for the ultimate in clean energy creation. The catch is usually the solar panel itself, which is almost always sold separately and at a price as steep or even more than the generator itself.

That’s what makes this limited-time deal that’s just dropped on Amazon so special — it bundles the #1 best-selling EcoFlow RIVER 2 portable power station with its 45W solar panel for just $189 — a 37% discount, and just $21 more than buying the EcoFlow RIVER 2 by itself.

The remarkably compact — 9.6 by 8.4 by 5.5 inches and only 7.7 pounds — RIVER 2 is the perfect companion for outdoor adventure, camping, and RV trips, and it’s great to have on hand at home in case of a power outage. The RIVER 2 and solar panel together weigh barely over 10 pounds.

The RIVER 2 can be fully recharged in just an hour when connected to an AC outlet, and it can also be recharged via USB-C and car output port. The solar charge, however, is the one you can really rely on in almost any conditions, and it takes just 7 hours to fully charge the RIVER 2 via the IP68 waterproof-rated solar panel that’s included in this bundle.

The tough and durable 45W solar panel is also designed to work in a hanging position, with snap hooks that let you attach it to a vertical base. It converts the available sunlight into electricity with up to 25% efficiency, which allows it to recharge the RIVER 2 so quickly. And when not in use, the panel folds down to a minute 8.8 x 12.2 x 1.8-inch package that can fit in a backpack.

With a wide array of output ports, including AC, USB-A, and USB-C, the RIVER 2 is more than capable of charging or powering numerous devices at the same time. It can run a 10W Wi-Fi router for almost 8 hours, a 60W mini-fridge for between 2 and 6 hours, and it can fully charge a cellphone 19 times — or 19 cellphones one time each.

Then, when it’s time to give the RIVER 2 a recharge, you have all those options, including letting Mother Nature do it the free and clean way. The addition of the solar panel for only $21 over the price of the power station itself is rare, and the RIVER 2 is Amazon’s best-selling outdoor generator, which speaks to its quality and reputation. Get this limited-time bundle for just $189 before the deal goes away.
