Price

  • List price: $239 (per TechRadar’s review citing EcoFlow’s base price)
  • Current price: unverified as of 2026-10-15 — the EcoFlow US base RIVER 3 page currently redirects to the RIVER 3 Max bundle listing at $319.00, suggesting the base model is no longer sold direct. Recheck before publishing.

  • Recall status: No CPSC recall found for the RIVER 3 (checked 2026-10-15).

Summary

The EcoFlow RIVER 3 is a compact 245Wh portable power station with 300W continuous output (600W via X-Boost) and a long-life LiFePO4 battery rated for 3,000 cycles. It recharges from empty in about an hour on AC power and offers a sub-20 ms UPS mode. Note: EcoFlow’s US site currently routes the base RIVER 3 product page to the RIVER 3 Max bundle listing, so current direct pricing for the base unit could not be verified.
