Review EcoFlow River Mini – This is a brand new power station from EcoFlow called the River Mini, and it’s just over 6.5 pounds. This is the lightest unit that they’ve ever produced but is a small station like this, actually worth buying. What could you run with it? And what kind of features do you get in such a small unit?

The main use for one of these River Minis is to be a grab-and-go type of power station. This isn’t going to power your whole house. But if you’re somebody that camps, this can easily fit into a gearbox, and you’ll still have room to spare. You could slip it right into a backpack, take it hiking, or anywhere else that you want to go.

1. River Mini Overview
On the front of the device are 4 USB ports including 1 USB-C rated for 100 watts. Now, that’s going to be important if you carry a notebook because you can likely get rid of your AC adapter and just charge it directly off the River Mini. And if your device supports wireless charging, you can use the pad right on top, and skip the cables altogether. And what makes this different from just a normal battery bank is, that you can also run devices that you normally plug into the wall.

Now, this is capable of running a device that uses up to 300 watts. But this model has a special feature that allows you to run appliances that actually use a lot more power than just the 300 watts now. They call it x-boost. It works with devices like toasters, heaters, or even something like a coffee maker, and this is a perfect way to test it out because you might actually want to run one of these if you were out camping.

This normally uses 700 watts of power. It changes the type of voltage, in a way that the coffee maker can still actually work. It might take a little bit longer, but you can get the job done. And led light bulbs use a lot less power, so you could power one of these using a River Mini for about 13 hours. You’re not going to be able to run a full-size refrigerator, but this portable cooler has a real compressor inside, and it also is equipped with a battery.
