Many things have changed in these strange times – but one has not: our need for energy. For the more tech-savvy among us – from digital nomads to students, gamers to dyed-in-the-wool technology buffs – being plugged in is essential, regardless of location, time of day and whether we are on the move or stationary in a remote field. It can be a tall order: a developer who has embraced the life of a digital nomad and intends to spend the rest of their working days typing on a laptop on a paradisiacal beach in Guam or the Canary islands will quickly discover that the seaside is generally not fitted with convenient power sockets, and that even the best laptops run out of juice after a day of intense work. But that does not need to be the end of their dream: enter EcoFlow RIVER mini.
Founded in 2017, EcoFlow has established itself as one of the world’s most trusted producers of energy storage products, devising new, convenient and ingenious ways to allow people to access power wherever they are, at any time – and in the same breath promoting devices that store clean and renewable backup energy in a quiet and dependable way.
The newly launched EcoFlow RIVER mini continues in that tradition of reliability, practicality and stunning design. Weighing just 2.85kg, this power-storage unit is a masterpiece of grab-and-go portability. It's fast-charging, zooming from zero to 80 per cent of charge in about one hour, and to 100 per cent in 1.5 hours, and it supports AC input (up to 300W), but can also be recharged via car port and solar panels. Externally, the polished, smooth surface in a modern “Jet Black” palette makes this a piece of tech you won't want to hide away, while EcoFlow RIVER mini’s smart features, such as its connection to a dedicated smartphone app that allows users to control and monitor its performance remotely, means you'll always want it close to hand. While charging and running, EcoFlow RIVER mini is also absolutely quiet at around 38-44 decibels within one metre – we're talking library-levels of shush.
EcoFlow RIVER mini is a game changer on all levels. Its 300W output can even be zhuzhed up by X-Boost Technology, which allows the RIVER mini to power some 600W appliances, including most consumer electronics. That means the EcoFlow RIVER mini is compatible with a majority of home appliances and personal electronic devices – including fridges, laptops, smartphones and Wi-Fi routers. RIVER mini’s wireless version also supports 15W wireless charging and since it's able to charge up to eight devices at the same time, it can transform every outdoor or remote situation from a power challenge into a powerful win.
For students on the move or anyone heading out for a quick weekend break, EcoFlow RIVER mini means you don't need to plan your trip around available plug sockets or remaining charge in your essential devices. Digital nomads will be able to stay on top of their game, no matter where their wanderings take them, and lovers of the great outdoors – or anyone who appreciates an alfresco party or moonlit gathering – can tap into EcoFlow RIVER mini to power their screens, smart speakers and party lights. No matter how or where you use it, EcoFlow RIVER mini is the affordable, sleek and innovative power solution that lets you plug in and keep going, anywhere.
