People are buying power stations, and solar panels na. Yung iba nag-DIY na para sa bahay nila in preparation for a crisis. If you are a VA, please have a backup now. I checked the online apps for shopping, grabe naka pre-order at sold out na halos ang items sa Lazada, TikTok, at Shopee.
Based on our experience, I can vouch for Ecoflow for the portability, aesthetic, and fast charging, 1 hour lang fully charge na yan. If budget is not an issue, go for the highest variant already, yung Delta 3 Max + or better. Sulit yun. But if you're on a budget and need one ASAP, please continue reading to help you choose another option.
We had the Ecoflow River 2 Max, 512Wh/500W. Kaso nakukulangan kami sa power. An alternative that we are using is Flowatt 1kWh/250W. Makunat ang flowatt, but walang other port maliban sa isang outlet. Basic battery indicator (4 LED lights). Pero kaya niyang iraos ang 8 hrs na graveyard shift namin gamit ang residential Starlink at gaming laptop charging.
More than 1 year na naming ginagamit ang EcoFlow, pero mas bilib kami sa Flowatt. Here's the comparison.
EcoFlow River 2 Max:
Bought: June 2024
Price: 24.7k
Battery Capacity: 512Wh
Output: 500W
Max Output using XBoost: 1000W (haven't tried)
Charging time: 1hr (fast charging ngani)
Tried to use it during our shift; Starlink, two regular laptops (charged once) pero 4 hrs lang kinaya.
Solar Panel Charging: Yes
Flowatt 250W:
Bought: June 2025
Price: 7.6k
Battery Capacity: 1kWh
Total Output: 250W
Max output: 500W, but Solar Miner tested, and the max output is only 230W something
Charging time: 5hrs
Solar Panel Charging: Yes
