Tamara, thank you for this review. I really like the mini, but I ended up going with the Max for my workload of drones and other video and photography equipment to charge. Your review was spot on, though, and I really appreciate everything you do for the community. Cheers!
Thanks so much. I really appreciate that! The Max is a great choice, from the specs I've read. The EcoFlow porducts are quality so I'm sure any of them will be great.
It's weird I came across your channel a few weeks ago but everything that I'm into & been researching online to buy or already own you end up with a video on the products lol
Wonderful video! There will be blackouts in my area soon. I need a generator for work (6 hours a day). My laptop is a powerful gaming machine. The capacity of the battery is 90 Wh. The laptop is 180 watts. I'll also configure my phone as a hotspot (a Xiaomi Mi 9). So I require it for 5 hours per day (assuming laptop and phone batteries will last one hour). Is it better to get the River Mini or the River? Which do you believe is the better option in my case? It will only be used to charge a laptop and a phone. Thank you kindly!
Hey 👋🏾 I haven't looked at the River in loads of detail but just looking quickly at the specs I think the River Mini would be sufficient for you, but it's definitely worth having at chat with EcoFlow support as they can also advise 🙂
Who reads instruction manuals ;) his would be ideal as the Mrs keeps nicking and emptying my little charger for the pocket 2. I could just leave this lying around to get consumed and there may even be some left for me, or my little un (looks like your anker) would at least remain full.
Yeah you can definitely keep it plugged in and keep it running in case of a power outage. Just need to check the watt capacity for your PC. But EcoFlow do also have larger power supplies too like the River Pro, River Delta, etc.
I'm not sure. It's best to check your power input with the specs on the site uk.ecoflow.com/products/river-mini-portable-power-station?variant=41072072294592
@@TravelswithRosie Yeah it's definitely great for having it in the car and charging stuff up on the go as you travel, or if camping it'd be perfect for that.

I agree that this is a must have portable power generator. It's so light and can fit in my bag.
100%
I like that you made it ride in the back seat.. lol
😅😅
Your video editing is really good, clean. Keep up the good work!
Thanks!

Thank you for sharing. I do also fly DJi drones and the River Mini is a great thing to have when you're out flying them.
Definitely! It means you can fly all day and just charge your batteries in between flights.
This is great content, The river mini is quite good, I was amazed when i tried it!
Thanks. And yeah, it's so handy to have.
Good Afternoon Lov Nice Looking Out power always a problem
Great video thanks for helping me make my mind up this is gonna be my next purchase
No problem, Shaun 😊
You must read my mind 😂
I’m actually considering their largest model for a backup at home.
Ah yes, the River Delta would be perfect for that! ☺️
Thank you for the video. Does the app offer solar input and consumption monitoring?
Wonderful video!

got mine walmart for $99
Hi . Good video . Will this appliance run a 500 watt electric portable heater . Thx
It has a 300W (600W surge) output, so maybe not...
@@TamaraGabrielUK ok . Thank you very much for the advice. Appreciated
You're welcome 🙂

Haha, yeah, sounds like it would be perfect for you!
Can you use a regular car socket or does it need to be in a 12 volt car socket?
Think it has to be a 12 volt, but double check the website.
Would it be good as a UPS that keep being plugged in. For example computer setup and in case of shortage you have the mini .
Yeah you can definitely keep it plugged in and keep it running in case of a power outage. Just need to check the watt capacity for your PC. But EcoFlow do also have larger power supplies too like the River Pro, River Delta, etc.
@@TamaraGabrielUK Is it safe to keep it always pluigged in ? Like is there an UPS mode ? My fear is that is reduce the battery capacity.
Might be best to drop EcoFlow a message to double check.
Can u charge a tv internet modem and fridge?
I'm not sure. It's best to check your power input with the specs on the site uk.ecoflow.com/products/river-mini-portable-power-station?variant=41072072294592
Do you think it could support lighting?
I've used it for lighting, yes.
this or the new bluetti eb3a?
I've not used that one, sorry, I wouldn't be able to say.
What do they weigh in at?
They're 2.85kg
@@TamaraGabrielUK Outch. That’s a 50% increase in pack weight. A great solution for keeping in the car mind.
@@TravelswithRosie Yeah it's definitely great for having it in the car and charging stuff up on the go as you travel, or if camping it'd be perfect for that.
@@TamaraGabrielUK 6.5 kg is all my camping gear :) field camping or family camping I agree tho
This will be the perfect charging solution for all my gear when I am out. Thanks for the review.
Yeah, it's perfect for that 😊👌🏾
