Ecoflow has a winner in the Smart Generator. It is actually practical and smart. I can use whatever fuel I have.

Out of all of the advertisements for these that I've seen on other KZread channels I watch, none of them have made me want to go and buy this like your video has. The practical applications really shine.

Ecoflow couldn't do a better job of explaining their products. Most companies hire PR firms and make commercials that don't explain anything. I hope they take good care of you for this one.

Thumbs up for the "I am from California, we have to make our own power". I use a Gas/Propane generator for vehicle camping and as a back up for the refer/freezer. I use a propane buddy heater for camping and as backup for my small 2 bedroom place. Lived in Alaska for 13 years, its good to have multiple sources of back up power and heat. I would like to add an EcoFlow into the mix to avoid having to run the generator 24/7.

I invested in a Ecoflow it needs a 12 volt 20 amp cigarette accessories outlet , 9 months of clouds in Seattle , I made my gas generator into propane with the help of KZread and my brain it was easy AND A BATTERY BOX $43.00 napa , BATTERY Amazon $299.00 inverter $100.00 Amazon i made my own battery generator

I got the very first Ecoflow made years ago for camping. Just upgraded to Ecoflow 1000, so obviously I'm a fan. Great presentation but next time please emphasize that Ecoflow has pass-thru charging. You can be charging it while it it is in use, which is very handy

On rainy/cold days, I lay about, inside my watchmans trailer, watching movies on DVD player and flat screen TV, powered by 140 watt invertor, powered by 2 deep cycle lead-acid RV batteries. I run small generator, with 8 amp battery charger, to charge the batteries, Been doing this for more than a few years. ... I suppose this is also considered ' pass-through ' capability.😎☕

Never fail to be impressed with your ability to speak (talk) extemporaneous about a variety of fairly complex subjects. Yep, first class. Many professional actor/spokesmen don’t do as well - even within the fame work of a scripted presentation. Thanks for a series of very good videos.

I am starting to look at purchasing a portable battery setup. I had never heard of EcoFlow until you started talking about them. They are now on the top of my list.

Casey I loved this video, please consider more product reviews for future episodes, you’re honest which is most important… Just last night my wife and I were talking about one of these portable power generators. I seem to remember your talking about a smaller version in a previous episode which might work for our purposes of a fridge and freezer and it’s on sale now… We’re in Southern New Mexico and unsure of powers outages etc., but the fact remains we don’t want a fridge and freezer worth of food to be ruined because of a power outage.

I was going to rant about them being called generators but you explained it in a way that I hadn’t thought of. Thank You. I just watched to the end and they really are on to something. Covering the roof of an RV with solar panels that feed the battery generator that tied into the propane tanks on the RV so the propane generator comes on when the demand is there.

Thanks for sharing the new technology. Another tool for us when hurricanes come to the Gulf Coast. Thanks.

Loved the camping video when you first showed the ecoflow system, the range looks fantastic (my bank account may not recover) I have been looking into a solar and power storage system and this looks perfect including the generator

One might ask .. what does this have to do with towing? More than one might think. When he gets home hopefully there is power. In videos he has shown that those devices are used for a few of his jobs and one has enough power to do a bit of welding { not recommended }. We all need some form of backup power and other items which Casey is good at recommending things or saying its a piece of crap.

As I'm watching this, my brand new just got it today EcoFlow River 2 Max is charging away. Went through a 9 day outage 2 years ago, and that was enough. I bought this based on your reviews, though I did go with a smaller unit. And I got the solar panels too!

This almost makes me wish we had more power outages...I have put off getting a regular generator and now I see no need. Thanks

The best thing about the Smart Generator is that I can integrate it with my Ecoflow system and also monitor it using the same App.

Do you need to have an active internet connection in order for the app to function? Even though there have been advances, during Super Storm Sandy, in my area, we didn't have any cellular coverage. No power, no cellular, nada for a week. These are the considerations I have when thinking about products such as these.

That's a really cool setup, I have a couple 2000 hondas I use for off grid fishing trips in my RV. This setup looks like it would be great.

I live in the CA Santa Cruz mountains. PG&E cannot keep the power on during a slight breeze. Using a gen to keep refers alive works but is noisy and smelly. Encouraged by your Ecoflow reviews I ordered a Delta 2 and the additional battery. Looking forward to see how it works out for us. I may snag some solar panels later. I watch all your videos -- keep them coming.

Great content 100%. I started using a Solar generator over a year ago, and Wow is technology advancing with 🚀 Rocket speeds. Looks like a game changer to me as well. Thanks for sharing 👍🇺🇸

Well said , just have the start up investng for the system

This is good. In the North East, out in the boondocks, we have power lines surrounded by trees and trees have this feature of falling. We got a generator long ago and it has served very well. The person that wired it though, somehow made the water pump to not run. Yes, I have used a UPS, Uninterruptable Power Supplies that are essentially a battery that comes on when the main power goes out. Technology has made a lot of different and new power sources. Having several different sources of power is good. If I would ever get my own place, videos like this will be even more helpful. Thank you.

Thank you Casey. I had been on the fence on getting an eco flow, just ordered a max and dual fuel. Ian had hit us hard..there was no gas for days. Glad to have the solar option

My house is powered by a generator made by Miller welding when the power goes out it runs on propane from the house tank it was made in the 50s, great video keep up the good work God bless from GA

This is a great video and your clear explanations about how the different EcoFlow components work together is great and very needed. Trying to figure all this out by looking at a website can be challenging. Thanks again for the video.

16? Watching this video shortly after release, as my weather station is reading -4. 16 sounds warm at the moment. That generator with the Pro/Max sounds like an awesome set up. Speaking of Northern California, they had more of the safety outages this year. And Newsome and friends have decided you can't have gas powered tools and generators anymore.

The wattage draw of the fridge times the duty cycle times hours gives watt hours per day. The solar output times hours per day of good sun gives watt hours per day, and that lets you know if it can keep up.

Great video! I had not thought about the fact that a solar generator only delivers power as needed. We are on the coast in Texas so during our power outages we need to run the AC, so it would tax the output watts. That being said being able to run a fridge and freezer for a few hours without hauling out my tri fuel generator is appealing. Thanks for the review and in depth information.

Check out their bigger units that have 30 amp plugs and higher output!

Definitely considering the Delta Pro for our RV (Travel trailer). However I will still keep my Honda 2000 generator (mine has the 30 amp receptacle). The Honda can still charge the Delta Pro, and I would not need nor want the smart capabilities of the EcoFlow Smart Generator since many places we camp have very strict generator hours so having it turn on during prohibited hours would not be good. We simply would charge it back up with our Honda during the 2 hours in the morning and 3 hours in the evening that are allowed (assuming our solar panels cannot keep up)

what a great video Casey! I really appreciate how you explain stuff! Also your microphone is incredibly good. Hearing the outdoor fridge hum was impressive.

I spent a couple years living on generator power for work … I still haven’t fully recovered from the time and effort it takes to keep a generator running appliances above 3300watts constant … but man if I could have had a unit like this for fridge and freezer it would have allowed me so much time freedom not having to dock the trailer for ac power … probably would still be earning income had propane and solar battery generators been available at the price they are currently offered at!!

I just got a solar power setup last year… best thing I’ve done in decades😁… what I found is you can use the gas generator for about 4-5 hours to keep the solar charged (where I live the cloud cover is heavy enough that the panels won’t quite keep up with the load) … yes you still need gas but roughly 1/4 of what I’d need without the solar…. I’ve gotten more panels for this year (as well as a couple battery packs) so maybe I can retire the gas gen to a truly last resort scenario

Adding a propane option seems like a game changer to me! I have a large Harbor Freight generator that will require moving before use so I really like the idea of this new system. Thanks for the information!

I bought the EcoFlow Delta Max just before you received your product(s) to test. The Max does NOT have the 30 amp hookup, so it's gotta be on the Pro. That is a very good reason for me to consider getting that one, too. The EcoFlow River series are smaller, more portable, power stations. I keep one in my car, just because lol. I was thinking of getting one of those for each of my kids, so they can keep their phones charged (or for electric blankets, etc) if their apartments lose power. I really hope people check out your "solar canoe" video! Their minds will be blown with what that power station allowed you to do (ummm no rowing?!).

Very good presentation Casey! It was in layman's terms, which trust me, I need. This product is unbelievable and anyone that needs a generator would benefit greatly from it. Whatever the cost, it would pay for itself in no time!

Great video Casey and very informative. I rarely have power outages and when I do it might be off for about 5 hours. I have no idea what I need for a generator. I need to keep my coal stove going so I have heat, my frig, & freezer and possibly the blower on my furnace to keep pipes from freezing. Those would be my main concerns.

As far as the fridge goes, 5 hours without power is no problem at all. Keep the door closed as much as possible and your food will be safe inside. One thing you can do for free that helps is keep a couple 2 liter bottles filled with water frozen in your freezer, then when the power goes out place them in your fridge. They will help keep the temp down in the fridge and make it last longer without needing power

@JohnHallgren

@@CaseyLaDelle agreed about 5 hours for a fridge! Around Halloween of last year, we had a storm here on Cape Cod and lost power at 2 AM one night. Didn’t get power back for 56 hours. Opened the doors only once early on to take one item and put in the freezer because it might spoil.. Only lost a couple of items. The more full the freezer, the longer it will stay cold. When a storm is coming that might cause power outage, I try and fill the freezer totally with extra ice packs and/or containers filled with water to make ice. The less air space in there, the better.

Another good video. frig on gen -- when the frig is not running the gen's gas consumption is very low as there is no load. Gas consumption per hour is huge difference. That said, when my power is off I only run the gen powering the frig approx every 6 hours and let it run until the frig turns off.

Yes, you don't need to power your refrigerator or freezer constantly. We were without power for an extended time a few years ago. In the morning I rolled out the portable generator and let it run for a couple hours so we could have a warm breakfast and "recharge" the fridge and freezer. Them put it away and I went to work. Ten hours later the refrigerator was still cold enough and the freezer still frozen. Fire up the generator again and run for a few hours in the evening, eat, watch TV and repeat for a few days. My generator holds five gallons of fuel and I never added during that outage. It was a very workable situation and had very little effect on our lives. That said the Ecoflow is a neat deal and has it's place.

Thanks for all your information on the full system. I will be getting it on 2023 summer. At my age that is the best option. Thanks again 🙏🏼👍🏼

This Smart Generator really did change the scene with the dual fuel option. I can use either propane or gas whenever I need it.

Awesome video fantastic content absolutely outstanding presentation I do like this product deal game changer for off grid living or wild camping I suspect some power companies will be a bit nervous about loss of business

That is a fantastic set up! If only I can generate money as efficiently...

Nice little systems, once they get some 120/240 volt systems then I may start considering them. My water well needs 240 to pump water, without that most other things will grind to a halt. My present system is over 20 years old. It's a 25kw pto generator that will run off either of my tractors.

What are the water ratings of these generators? In the northeast we lose power during snow/thunder storms. Would you be able to sit the dual fuel outside in the weather?

I love the addition of the gas generator. With the smart features on the Pro, that is ideal. Thanks for taking the sponsorship.

Interesting though I need to read further on details and pricing. I do run gas gen set but wired in for water pump, fridge and some heat (outdoor burner fan and pump). I watched the earlier video when camping but forgot to follow up.

The auto-start on the generator is a great feature!

They've done for emergency power what I've thought is the future of household power. That is to have a battery/inverter set up that the grid/solar/generator kept topped up, but buffered the house from the need for constant feed. Obviously, such a set would be expensive at home size, but good to see the who concept being refined in the emergency/mobile power side of things for when whole house multi-derived source fed battery/inverters are more affordable. My only issue with the "app" controls is do they continue to work when the internet/cell service is down, or being older and having had "good ideas" go out of business, the company servers go offline. If the app can do peer to peer networking/bluetooth, at least when the cell service is down, that's good, if it requires calling the mother ship, that's bad, especially when the powers out.

I very much agree for this being a great concept for home power, but also feel that it would be a great solution for the EV problem. Vehicles could run primarily on battery, then have a combustion engine generator that fires up and provides power to the batteries when they get low or need a high power demand. Very little fuel could move a vehicle a very long distance. As far as the app.. yes, it uses bluetooth as well and can run the units without wifi or phone Service

i know some off grid places here in Alaska that these would be excellent for solar is always sketchy in the winter here but with the addition of a built for dual fuel generator with an electric smart start just wow. but then i ain't seen the price yet you got to pay the electric bill somewhere 😁

Eco flow is the best. Been using it for a year now. Never fails. Charges so fast from an AC outlet.

This is a great idea. My concern is the very very short run time on fuel; 3.5 hours. My Honda runs for about 8 hours on a tank, and I have an aux tank connected to it so I can get about 24 hours without a refill.

You mentioned that the Delta Pro/Max can be set to control the On/Off function of the Smart Generator. I got the impression from what you were stating is that the Delta 2 cannot do this as well? The EcoFlow app that I run with my Delta 2 shows the adjustable option for the Smart Generator Auto On/Off feature. Have you tried seeing if your Delta 2 will fire up the Smart Generator by chance?
