ECOFLOW WAVE 2 Portable Air Conditioner, 5100BTUs of Cooling, 6100BTUs of Heating, Add-On Battery, Control with App, No Drainage Required, for Outdoor Camping/RVs or Home Use(Battery Not Included)

Product Information

Add in the battery, and it can even run for hours off-grid, charging via a choice of mains, car or solar. The front and back grilles have a mesh to catch larger dust, but there’s no dust or pollen filtration. Designed for ease of use and versatility, this add-on battery is a game-changer in portable power solutions.

It is compact, lightweight, and easy to install, making it ideal for use in outdoor and indoor settings.

POWERFUL COOLING AND HEATING] Lead the cool - 5100 btu cooling capacity, twice the industry standard; Lead the warmth - 6100 btu heating capacity, the peak of heating power. BTU stands for “British Thermal Unit” and it’s another one of those numbers (like lumens) that has very little specific meaning to the average consumer. Sleeping near your EcoFlow WAVE 2 couldn't be more peaceful thanks to the quiet (44dB) Sleep Mode function while EcoFlow's tailor-made compressor enables WAVE 2 to drop 18℉ (10℃) in 5 minutes in cooling mode (5100BTU) or raise 18℉ (10℃) in 5 minutes in heating mode (6100BTU). However, if you need more flexibility and want something you can use when camping, or for moving around the house, air conditioning doesn’t get smaller than this.

There’s a huge battery connector and a solar connector but you can’t remove the power cable when using it on battery. Draining the unit with the battery attached is tricky, since it brings the total weight from a modest 14kg up to over 20kg, and separating the two without unleashing the water is similarly difficult. Add the 8Kg or so of battery and it’s suddenly pretty much on a par, except you don’t necessarily need to put it near a plug socket or even indoors. It sort-of feels like you should then be able to use the carry handle to lug the whole setup, but I’m not sure the latch mechanism is designed for this. My six hour annotated run time graph for the WAVE 2 helped confirm its battery life, but it pales in comparison to the data I can get by tapping into the raw data the unit itself produces- everything from compressor RPM to battery level and various temperatures.You can also use the EcoFlow Wave 2 as a heater, but it will draw up to 600 watts from an outlet or 540 watts from the battery, so it's not cheap to run. Most air conditioning units have a single outlet that dumps hot air outside, but the Wave 2 is supplied with three vent pipes. At 12 I switched from Max to Eco and thus began around four hours of the compressor cycling on and off and on again, sending the ambient temperature oscillating between around 23 and 18c respectively. If you’re interested in the WAVE 2 for an RV or similar setup, then these tests may not set the right expectations. But, aside from the ability to go off-grid, the battery also affords you some flexibility about how and when you charge up and how expensive the Wave 2 will be to run.

This flexibility allows you to enjoy cool or warm air anytime, anywhere, powered by renewable energy sources.

Featuring intuitive dial controls, the EcoFlow Wave makes adjusting cooling power and runtimes a breeze. There is also a fan mode that only seems to draw up to 40 watts, but it just creates a gentle breeze and doesn’t actually cool the air. Unlike other sites, we test every air conditioning unit we review thoroughly over an extended period of time. With air conditioning you’ll see a lot of hubbub about BTUs and you’re probably wondering “isn’t that a K-pop band?
