Choosing a portable power station for residential outdoor power equipment can feel like a specs arms race. Four EcoFlow models here span a $161.25 to $4,999 price spread, so the real task is matching capacity and output to the jobs you actually need to run.
Quick take
If you mostly need to charge phones, lights, and small gear, the RIVER 2 is the compact entry point. If you're heading into an RV or taking longer trips, the RIVER Pro adds meaningful runtime. For home backup and bigger loads, the DELTA Pro brings 3600Wh of storage and a 3600W AC output. And when you need 240V and whole-home-scale energy, the DELTA Pro Ultra is the heavyweight option.

Product notes
EcoFlow RIVER 2 Portable Power Station 256Wh Generator LFP Certified Refurbished
The RIVER 2 is the smallest and least expensive option at $161.25. It uses LFP battery cells that can be recharged more than 3000 times before reaching 80%, and it can fully recharge from an AC outlet in about 1 hour. With 300W continuous output, it can run six essentials simultaneously from a collection of AC, USB-C, and other ports. That makes it a handy source for phones, tablets, lights, and other low-wattage gear. The limitation is capacity: 256Wh will not sustain high-draw appliances for long, so it suits short trips and simple campsite setups. Like the DELTA Pro and DELTA Pro Ultra, it is listed as certified-refurbished.
EcoFlow RIVER Pro Power Station 720Wh Generator for Outdoor, Camping, RV
The RIVER Pro is the mobile mid-range pick at $448.75. It stores 720Wh and uses a 600W inverter, with two pure sine wave AC outlets and enough ports to run nine devices at once. X-Boost mode extends support to some appliances up to 1800W, though EcoFlow recommends keeping normal use below 1200W for best results. That makes it a practical companion for RV trips and camping where a few more hours of runtime matter. The trade-off is still capacity: 720Wh isn't in the DELTA Pro's league, so very hungry appliances will drain it quickly. This is the only new-condition model in the group.
EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3600Wh Power Station Generator Certified Refurbished, LFP
The DELTA Pro is the first model here built for home backup scale. It holds 3600Wh with LFP chemistry, outputs 3600W AC, expands to 4500W with X-Boost, and can pair with a second unit for 7200W. Extra batteries and a smart generator can stretch total capacity to 25kWh. At $1,399.00, it is a major step up from the RIVER series in price and capability, and the certified-refurbished condition is part of the package. If you need more than campsite-scale power and want a unit that can grow with you, this is the middle ground between portable and whole-home.
EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra 12kWh Power Station Lifepo4, Certified Refurbished
The DELTA Pro Ultra is the largest-capacity option at $4,999. It begins with 6144Wh, expandable to 90kWh, and provides 120V/240V AC outlets with 7200W total output. One inverter can run almost any heavy household appliance, even a 3-ton central air conditioner, and triple inverters push AC output to 21.6kW. The LFP chemistry is rated for 3500 cycles to 80%+ capacity over a 10-year period. The limitation is the price of entry: unless you truly need 12kWh-scale storage and 240V output, the smaller stations will handle campground and RV jobs for far less. It is listed as certified-refurbished.
Final recommendation by use case
- For a lightweight campsite or tailgate: the RIVER 2.
- For RV travel and weekend off-grid stays: the RIVER Pro.
- For home backup with expandable capacity: the DELTA Pro.
- For whole-home backup and 240V appliances: the DELTA Pro Ultra.
