EcoFlow Strengthens Disaster Relief Efforts Through New Non-Profit Partnerships Ahead of Hurricane Season
In-kind donations to Convoy of Hope and Footprint Project deliver clean, reliable energy to communities in crisis SEATTLE, June 19, 2025 /CNW/ -- EcoFlow, a leading portable power and eco-friendly energy solutions company, announces the expansion of its disaster relief efforts through new collaborations with non-profits Project Footprint and Convoy of Hope. EcoFlow has so far donated more than $50,000 worth of its portable power stations and solar panels, including flagships DELTA Pro 3, DELTA Pro and DELTA 2 models to the organizations. The company remains committed to further collaborations with its partners as the U.S. enters hurricane season and the federal government predicting up to 19 named hurricanes and five major hurricanes. The donations will provide clean, reliable energy to help first responders and affected communities stay connected with the power grids fail. They mark a significant expansion of EcoFlow's "Power for Rescue" campaign, which delivers renewable energy to disaster-stricken areas to support frontline recovery efforts. New Orleans-based Footprint Project works to deploy off-grid, mobile solar generators for community-based disaster relief and recovery efforts. They also educate communities on how solar power can be used to build disaster resilience. "We're proud to partner with EcoFlow to deliver sustainable response technology when and where it's needed most," said Jamie Swezey, Program Director at Footprint Project. "EcoFlow's sustainable technology will help us to not only power critical relief operations during disasters but also train communities to build long-term resilience." Convoy of Hope, based in Springfield, Mo., is a faith-based organization providing food supplies, and humanitarian services to impoverished or otherwise vulnerable populations throughout the world, including communities affected by disasters. "We at Convoy of Hope are incredibly grateful to share our recent partnership and collaboration with EcoFlow," said Convoy of Hope Vice President of Public Engagement Ethan Forhetz. "Their generous donation of generators will help equip our Disaster Services team to service communities and families." Powering Relief, Restoring Hope When disaster strikes, power becomes a lifeline. Whether charging a phone to reach loved ones, keeping medical devices running, powering a satellite link or simply lighting a darkened shelter, access to dependable power brings relief and emotional reassurance. This is the driving force behind EcoFlow's "Power for Rescue" initiative, which operates under the company's broader corporate social responsibility program " Power for All." Since its launch, "Power for Rescue" has partnered with multiple frontline organizations around the world to ensure critical energy support reaches those who need it most, when they need it most. EcoFlow partnered with the Special Forces Charitable Trust in the wake of Hurricane Helene in September and donated portable power stations to vulnerable North Carolina households during recovery. In preparation for future emergencies, the company collaborated with the nonprofit Red Lightning to preposition portable power stations and solar panels in Florida. EcoFlow went on to respond to the devastating wildfires in Southern California earlier this year by supporting first responders with portable power solutions and essential supplies. The company provided power solutions and comfort items to evacuees from the Eaton Fire in Altadena, Calif., enabling families to charge their devices and power critical equipment in shelters with limited access to electricity. Meanwhile, EcoFlow's collaboration with Footprint Project is already delivering community-level impact as its donated products supported a hands-on workshop training local responders in solar and microgrid tech to enhance community resilience ahead of the hurricane season. To make these types of solutions more accessible, the company will be offering a selection of its emergency-ready power stations such as DELTA Pro Ultra, DELTA Pro 3 and more at discounted prices during the upcoming Prime Day. About EcoFlow Power For Rescue "EcoFlow Power For Rescues" is a program under EcoFlow's corporate social responsibility initiative, EcoFlow Power For All, dedicated to providing rescue power. Its motto is "Always Reliable. Anywhere. Anytime." During emergencies such as the 2023 Hawaii wildfires in the USA, the 2023 Morocco earthquake, the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake in Japan, and the 2024 Rio Grande do Sul floods in Brazil, this program provided reliable, flexible, and clean power support to rescue agencies, affected hospitals, and shelters. About Footprint Project Footprint Project provides renewable energy equipment and training to communities affected by climate disasters and humanitarian crises. Footprint Project develops and deploys mobile solar microgrid networks in climate-vulnerable regions to support critical services during power outage events and trains local responders on effective use.

The EcoFlow STREAM series makes using home solar generation easy
The cost of electricity is a huge talking point right now, so tapping into – and storing – renewable energy is becoming more and more popular. Combining solar panels with a battery storage system is a great way to generate power without needing to plug into the mains, and the STREAM series from EcoFlow allows you to reduce your dependence on the grid with advanced features. Installation is simple, with no need to drill. The STREAM kits come with rigid solar panels capable of generating up to 2000W of solar energy combined plus some brackets to fit them to your balcony, roof, house facade or lay on the ground. The STREAM Ultra and STREAM Pro batteries have integrated microinverters to turn that power into something useful. Super-flat cables allow the generated power to pass through doorways or windows without obstruction, and the kit is suitable for installation in a wide range of settings, from small apartments to larger homes. The panels have an IP65 rating, so they'll easily be able to shrug off the British weather. Founded in 2017 by a group of battery engineers, EcoFlow aims to lead the global journey toward renewable energy with industry-leading portable power products, solar technology, and smart home energy solutions. It now operates in more than 140 regions around the world, and has 1192 patented technologies to its name. The sun is shining Solar panels only generate energy when the sun shines (though the STREAM microinverter activates with just 3W of solar input, ensuring a steady power supply to your home, even during early morning or dusk hours) and to make the best use of this you'll want to store excess power in batteries. EcoFlow's STREAM series revolutionises home generation by introducing an AI-powered home power plant network, a smart system that automatically coordinates multiple batteries throughout the home. The STREAM series offers up to 2,300W dual-mode bypass AC output, which allows users to run 99% of home appliances on solar energy by plugging some directly into the battery packs. The system seamlessly feeds solar power into the home grid and simultaneously supplies devices with energy via two independent AC outputs. This innovation ensures that both low-energy devices, such as laptops, and high-energy devices, such as tumble dryers, can operate without mains power. Whether devices are supplied with energy via direct bypass or grid integration, solar energy intelligently adapts to the needs of the household, offering an unparalleled level of flexibility and efficiency. All batteries, regardless of where they are placed, provide power at the same time, allowing for longer runtimes for high-wattage devices and reduced dependence on the grid. With STREAM, sers benefit from a simplified, efficient installation and flexible battery placement that guarantees effortless energy management. By intelligently automating energy flow and storage, this innovative technology helps pave the way for households to greatly lower their electricity costs. Sleek and compact EcoFlow has kits available that include battery packs, such as the STREAM Series Standard Set that includes a smart meter, and two battery packs that can be chained together to power higher-wattage appliances – or connect up to six for a huge 11.52kWh of storage. You can get them with and without solar panels, allowing you to create a new home generation setup, or enhance an existing one. The STREAM AC Pro is compatible with microinverters of all brands, while the STREAM microinverter is compatible with almost all commercially available solar panels. The STREAM Ultra X, STREAM Ultra and STREAM Pro models are all-in-one solutions that combine microinverters and energy storage in one device, so all you need to do is add solar generating capacity. The STREAM series uses a sleek and compact design that is 40% smaller than traditional systems, making it ideal for homes with limited space. Despite its size, it doesn't compromise on performance. The system includes built-in safety features such as over-current protection, IP65 weatherproofing, and ultra-quiet operation with only 30 dB, ensuring safe and reliable operation in any environment. The robust and efficient design guarantees outstanding performance, even in difficult weather conditions. Ecoflow's user-friendly approach ensures that everyone – regardless of their technical knowledge – can benefit from clean and renewable energy.

EcoFlow Wave 3 review: better cooling, lower price, smarter features
EcoFlow's Wave 3 portable air conditioner is the ultimate in summer camping luxury | EcoFlow This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement. EcoFlow's latest Wave 3 portable air conditioning system brings meaningful upgrades, with better cooling, a new battery option, and a more wallet-friendly price – making it one of the most appealing off-grid climate solutions for campers and caravanners.

Did you know with a Digital Subscription to The Scotsman, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... I love it when a manufacturer listens to suggestions from its customers and launches a new, improved product. I think that's exactly what EcoFlow has done with its ground-breaking portable air conditioning system, the Wave 3. I tested the Wave 2 in a heatwave, on a scorching campsite in Somerset, and it was a seriously impressive bit of kit. It was a bit bulky, could be a bit cumbersome to set up, and there were some annoying niggles, but it performed amazingly well. I've been using the new Wave 3 for a few months now, and it's not a major step forward, but there's a string of sensible upgrades that have made it a far more appealing proposition. The Wave 3 can be used to cool and to heat, and the ducts on the new version are so much easier to route | EcoFlow Although, from the outset, it's now a little bit bulkier. I'll make no bones about it, this is a heavy and awkward unit to move around. And while that's a shame for something you can take camping with you, it's designed to sit in a corner gently cooling you down. And, give it its dues, it does that brilliantly. I'll come back to that. Another qualm I had with the Wave 2 looks to have been sorted - it was very expensive. As in, over £1,000 expensive. The Wave 3 however, if you can catch a deal on the EcoFlow website, is currently £699. And for a portable air conditioning system you can run off your car cigarette lighter socket, that's very good value. And then the improvements keep coming. The ventilation ducts, which make the unit even more cumbersome and awkward, but are pretty essential if you want the full cooling experience, are much easier to position on the Wave 3. Rather than being made of a cheap plastic, they're lined with foil. It means they're better insulated, and so much easier to position. Still a bit fiddly, but it's a necessary evil. There's a very quiet sleep mode, which still gently cools the air | EcoFlow There are more sensible upgrades on the Wave 3, too. It has more cooling and heating power, thanks to 300w more grunt, and it can cool a large area more quickly. There's also a new battery pack available, which is made from LFP technology. The battery clamps neatly to the base and adds a lot of size and weight, but the new unit lasts much longer, both in terms of daily usage, and in terms of long-term cycling. Oh, and you can charge the new battery off solar panels. Which is so sensible. The battery comes close to doubling the price, and that's before you add the cost of solar panels into the mix, but if you're after a true off-grid setup, it doesn't get much better than this. Hook it up to solar panels and you can have off-grid air-con for days | EcoFlow So to reiterate the benefits of this machine, you have a portable (if bulky) air conditioning unit that can reduce the ambient temperature of a tent, campervan or caravan in minutes, can be powered off a 12 volt supply, or solar if you prefer, can be controlled wirelessly through an app, and can now even dehumidify the air around you. It was hard to dislike the Wave 2, for all its little quirks. In a heatwave on the edge of Exmoor, it turned the inside of our motorhome into a blissful escape from the scorching sunshine.

I tested two smart coolers side-by-side, and this is the one worth your money
Anker and EcoFlow both make two popular 'smart' coolers: The Anker Everfrost 2 and the EcoFlow GLACIER Classic Portable Fridge Freezer. Essentially, they're portable refrigerators, which means you don't have to add ice, allowing you to pack in more beverages and the like, and even control the temperature. Both coolers are also Wi-Fi connected, so you can control them from your phones. They can even be recharged through solar panels. However, both of these options cost upward of $800, making them really expensive compared to the best coolers. So, you're going to want to know if they are really worth the spend before you splash out. Well, I've done the hard work for you. I've put the Anker Solix EverFrost 2 and EcoFlow Glacier head to head, rating them on design, performance, and price to see which is the best investment for your money. The Anker EverFrost comes in two sizes: A 40L model for $899, and a 58L model that costs $1,099. The biggest difference between the two models (aside from the size) is that the larger one has a dual-zone interior, so you can store things at different temperatures. EcoFlow sells its cooler in three sizes: A 35L model costs $1,098, a 45L model costs $1,198, and a 55L model costs $1,498. Similar to Anker, the 45L and 55L models have two cooling zones, so you can have one area that's a different temperature than the other. For the purposes of this story, I tested the 40L Anker EverFrost and the 355L EcoFlow Glacier. Fortunately, you can often find both models on sale, which helps take the sting out of things. Winner: Anker. Its models are less expensive, even for similar sizes. Overall, Anker's cooler is well-built. It has a sturdy lid, two large wheels, and a fold-out tray that you can use to prepare food; it also has a handle, which makes it easier to wheel the cooler around if you're on the tall side. I also like that the lid has a ruler etched into one edge, which is handy if you're out fishing. Inside, the cooler has an LED light that turns on when you open the lid, and a drain plug in the bottom. It also has a large display on the outside that's easy to use, and shows you the temperature inside the cooler and battery level, and lets you adjust the temperature.. As a final bonus, there's a small bottle opener on the outside, too. My biggest issue with Anker's cooler is its battery cover, which is a bit flimsy —- it's a hard piece of plastic that's secured with two little tabs. There's also no gasket around this cover, which allows water to get into one of the more crucial areas of the cooler. Below this is a port for the included battery charger, as well as a port to connect a solar panel, in case you're off the grid. While the battery itself has a USB and a USB-C port, I also wish these were more accessible on the outside of the cooler, as this would make it easier to plug in your phone or some other device. EcoFlow's cooler doesn't have any wheels, so despite its two large handles, it's not as easy to carry around, especially if it's full of heavy items like cans. I did like its lid, which is designed to be opened from either side, but there's no ruler on the top, so anglers looking to measure their catch will be disappointed. Inside, the EcoFlow also has an LED light and drain plug. Its battery cover also seems a lot more substantial than the Anker, though neither model is very waterproof; they can withstand some light rain, but you're better off bringing them indoors if the weather starts to turn. Because both coolers are Wi-Fi enabled, you can control them and monitor their temperatures via a smartphone app. Both apps were easy to use and presented information in a clear and concise manner. Conveniently, both coolers can also be recharged using solar panels, handy for those of you who are off the grid. Winner: Anker. Having a set of wheels (and a bottle opener) makes this cooler a lot easier to use. Both Anker and EcoFlow say their coolers can keep things at temperatures from -4°F to 68°F. To test the coolers, I set them up next to each other outside, and set the temperature on both to 32°F, and stuck a temperature probe inside each. Both were quick to lower the temperature to the desired level — they each went from the mid-60s to 32°F in about 15 minutes. Similar to a regular refrigerator, the temperature didn't stay at a constant 32°F, but varied a bit, from 28°F to 35°F; on a chart, it jaggers up and down like a saw blade. Winner: Tie. Both performed as expected, with no huge difference between them. Anker's cooler has two battery bays, although it only comes with one battery.; the company says it can keep things at 39°F for up to 52 hours on one battery, and 104 hours with two. By comparison, the EcoFlow only has one battery (though it's about the size of two Anker batteries) and can keep things chilled for up to 39 hours. As mentioned earlier, I set both to 32 degrees on Eco mode, and started them off. Both coolers were empty, and placed side-by-side on a day when the temperature started at 78 degrees, and peaked at 88 degrees. After 24 hours, the EcoFlow was completely drained, while the Anker's battery still had a 22% charge left. Winner: Anker. Its battery — just one of them — lasts longer. It was a pretty clean sweep here: Anker's EverFrost 2 beat the EcoFlow Glacier in terms of design, battery life and, perhaps most importantly, price. Both coolers performed about the same on my chill test — you should get great results from either — but Anker's model is easier to move around, and has some nice little extras, like the bottle opener and side table. But the fact that a similarly sized model costs $200 less than the EcoFlow? That's a lot of beer money.
