We found no Amazon listing for this exact model (checked November 1, 2026). What we rejected and why.
Buy this instead: BLUETTI Elite 30 V2, $290. It holds at least as much (288 Wh) and puts out at least as much (600 W), and Amazon sells it today.

How long it runs each appliance
The same numbers as a table
| Appliance | Typical average draw | Hours on one charge |
|---|---|---|
| Fridge | 83 W | about 2.5 h (may not start a hard-starting one) |
| Furnace blower, older single-speed | 182 W | cannot start it |
| Furnace blower, variable-speed | 132 W | cannot run it |
| CPAP | 55 W | about 3.7 h |
| Sump pump | 136 W | cannot start it |
| Wi-Fi router and modem | 24 W | about 7.9 h |
| Laptop | 52 W | about 3.9 h |
The range behind that
This is a 245Wh battery with 300W of output, which means it gives back about 212 watt-hours at a typical household load (estimated) and can run anything drawing up to 300 watts at once.
It runs indoors and makes no fumes. Of the 16 household loads we track, it can run 5 for at least part of a day.
Figures from the maker’s own pages and manual, with a link beside each one.
What it can run
| Load | Running / starting | Starts it? | Typical | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phone charging and small USB devices | 10–40 W | starts it | about 22h | 8–46h |
| A few LED lights | 15–80 W | starts it | about 12h | 3.4–33h |
| Laptop and monitor | 45–150 W | starts it | about 3.9h | 1.4–10h |
| Television | 40–250 W | starts it | about 3.7h | 0.8–15h |
| 12 V compressor fridge (camping) | 25–110 W
starts at up to 320 W |
starts it | about 10h | 3.7–24h |
Hours of use on one charge. Typical is the middle of our range for that appliance; the range runs from a hard-working unit to an efficient one. Short-burst loads (microwave, coffee maker, garage door) show running time at full power instead. “Starts it” means the peak output covers even a hard-starting one.

A gas generator must run outdoors, away from windows, doors and vents. Charging a station from a generator does not change that: the generator is still the CO source and the station does not make it indoor-safe.

Recall screen
No published recall names this exact model
The single EcoFlow recall in the recall list we checked (26010) names only DELTA Max 2000, model EFD310. RIVER 3 is a different product line.
This check cannot clear your own unit. Most recalls cover only certain serial numbers. Read the model and serial number off the label on the unit itself, then check the maker's recall page before you use it, sell it, or buy it.
How we know the screen was not simply blind
Finding nothing only means something if the search could have found something. So we searched the same records for this brand and got 1 recall. That proves the screen can see this brand, so finding nothing for this model is a real result.
