  • I have both Wave2 with add'l battery and Wave1. I bought them for transportability as well as battery/solar options. So far, I am using both in my 1100 sq foot house in NW Montana. Low humidity and so far highest outside temp (last year and this summer to date) has been 96F. I have the Wave2 in my living room with a helper fan from living room to bedroom. These rooms are on west side of the house so are the hottest late afternoon. I am able to keep them below 72F on the warmest days. The Wave2 is considerably quieter than Wave1 so Wave 1 is in a room furthest from the bedroom .. a home office space used mostly by my pets. Again 70-72 on the warmest days. I use a hose duct wrap and I use exhaust hose only and intake from house vs outside. I have EcoFlow Pro 2000 and last year in testing was able to run Wave1 7.5 ish hours on the fully charged Pro. I have not tested Wave2 with battery.
  • That is a great review! I don't need one for myself. But you answered a lot of questions about the unit. It is a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be in real life. And yes, I agree about the marketing not being super honest about the hoses and so on for it to work properly. It does seem like a good unit though. For the right person. Thanks for doing this review!
  • @Jompany
    excellent overview .. thanks! ❤ I had already ordered mine a few days ago.
  • @RiggerBrew
    I have used it sitting next to me, to get a cool draft to cool down while resting in the house. was able to run the unit long enough to cool down and not raise the temp of the room I was in. So yes, I have used it w/o the hoses connected and it works for my need. Sure the hoses can be used to work more as a whole room/space appliance.
  • @JD-xo3xz
    Nice and detailed review, thanks. Definitely not stealthy with the air venting out the passenger window, but works.
  • @tonyd6884
    Nice to see units like this being produced.
  • @MrSebby13
    From what I've learned in other videos, the bottom hose in the back, (Fresh Air) circulates into the exhaust and never comes out the front. They are separate areas that do not meet.
  • @user-kl5lp5sx8o
    Just ordered and can’t wait to receive it! I LOVE the window panel and is exactly what I’m looking for but for a Ram Promaster. Great video.
  • Ok so it does not come with the battery nor the 12volt plug or the solar plug or the window vent mount And the mount is made by another company and has to be fitted to a car hmmm and this is suppose to be an option . Sounds to me like a money pit.
  • @stephenino
    I’d recommend the 12v mini slit unit. It doesn’t take up valuable real estate inside the vehicle, and I like the ecoflow line up of products.
  • i tested in my Tiffin Cahaba 144 sprinter with curtain so cabin not cooling. Its 96 degrees in south florida today, you can run this 2.5hr on high but need your AC unit on - It wont work alone - having Coleman Mach 13,000 btu quickly lowers temp to 75. then use Ecoflow Wave 2 to help keep it cool. i also use montek 1000 and my battery is 540ah battleborn with xantrex.

    I think this ECO-Vent openings should have mosquite net and somekind of shutters to protect from the rain. Also it wouldn't look so "open" to outside luring someone to put trash into to pipes. Also this look screams you're inside, not so stealth solution.

    Recently purchased a Wave 2 (w/battery) for the specific purpose of cooling a square-drop trailer (5x9), and a roof top tent mounted on top. A/C for night-time use while sleeping. Cobbled-together a Y fitting off of the cool air supply duct, and reduced down to two 3" collapsible hoses (vinyl exterior/ aluminized interior). One to trailer, one to tent. Wave 2 will be located outside, off of the ground, in the annex attached to the overhang of the roof top tent. Did a setup test in the driveway the other day, and seems to work okay. Real-time test in a few days during a 4-night stay at a Nat'l park. I own a few EcoFlow products, and their app is convenient to run all devices.
  • @joshirwin1
    Thanks for showing a quick way to set this unit up in a sprinter. However you didn't share any info on the outside temp vs inside temp or how long it takes to lower the inside temp. Pretty much felt like an ecoflow commercial.
  • @granitfog
    Great presentation. Two groups of questions come up: what are the temperatures in the fore and aft areas of the van assuming the AC is on the front seat; and how much water collects per hour or day of air conditioning, and is that water, potable.
