Thanks for the review. I have been looking at buying one of these two power stations (probably just the "River" base for now) and it was great to have a side by side comparison. My use case would be relying on a gas generator for heavy appliances, but having a small power bank in the house for computers and hand-held devices. After seeing this, the Jackery 300 makes more sense.
They are both actually the same price right now. Both are $300. I couldn't find the jackery anywhere for less than $299. And the ecoflow is $349 with $50 off. Also you have the max there next to the 300, and that is not fair because you said you prefer the jackery because of the size. The ecoflow without the max battery attached is basically the same size as the jackery. But yeah, they are both awesome stations regardless.
Think I understand what you’re saying. I’m thinking you like the jackery for little trips but I like the EcoFlow for my home emergencies. And car camping. Since it’s my only one, I’m happy. 😉
I've heard the Eco Flow products have had problems with their batteries. 1 instance a customers EcoFlow failed him & would not recharge,this is coming from a brand new unit & this Eco customer also stated that EcoFlows customer service is virtually nonexistent, so I'll stick with the tried-and-true product of Jackery
Ok the question is, Updated Jackery 300 (293wh) for $299 or, the Anker Powerhouse II 400 (388.8wh) for $399.99? 🤔 I’d mostly be using it during power outages.
I really considered getting that jackery 300 when it was one sale for 200 dollars. I stalled and it sold out. But it was no biggie, I didn't need it. Ha
Why wouldn’t you just take bottom battery off the ecoflow and get the best of both worlds? Higher power output, portable and fast charge?
River 600 is on sale at Home Depot for $250. Starts a cheap 4.3A angle grinder no problem.

I will take the power and performance every time, function over fashion.

Yep, that totally makes sense. Love the River!

The anker doesn’t have a ground for the outlet. So you can only use 2 prong devices
@@Welcome2theRealWorld. Yeah, the Anker looks ancient.
Is this really a question? The Ecoflow has a removable battery that makes it just as portable as the Jackery and better features.
ecoflow mini would be direct competitor of jackery 300 imo

Slower charging en less output power means longer battery life
Good review next time music down a lot
Eco is crap.. over heats
Don't think there's any power station that are ice cold during operation.
