EcoFlow - WAVE 2 Portable Air Conditioner

Personally, I like the zero breeze because it is long whereas the EcoFlow Wave 2 is more boxy. I had the issue of it taking up too much space in my RTT so I returned it. I think the ZeroBreeze 3 is around the corner IIRC

THIS. Compared to the ZERO BREEZE Mark 2, the EcoFlow Wave 2 is a bit too heavy and uneasy to carry, moving it up and down the RTT wouldn't be a easy job. Edit: Nighttime is the absolutely best time for this type of unit to work. Using a battery powered portable AC in a poorly insulated RTT during the hot day under direct sunlight is not making sense.

I have the ECOFLOW wave 2 in my 2016 medium roof ford transit conversion van! The back living space is about 11.5 ft by 5.5 feet. The ECOFLOW is a portable AC unit and I’ve used it for 2 different trips now. The first 4 day trip I used it in Daytona, Florida in 65-100 degree weather. I had 2 holes in the side of my van for intake and outtake, but pulling 100 degree air from outside doesnt cool down the van at all! It only worked at night for this trip. I learned that it works infinitely better to just pull air from the inside of the van, and still have the single outtake vent sending the air outside the van. That way as the van is cooling down or warming up it makes it easier for the AC to work. I did this for my second trip in 62-85 degree weather in NC, and the ac works pretty well. Also the ac works great at any outside temperature with the vehicle driving and ac going, no need to pull air from the front to the back you can just turn it on and make sure the outtake vent is set up. If you want to cool everything down super fast I suggest just putting a fan blowing air from the front of the van while driving and put the ac on in the back. This makes my van ice cold. Other advice/info: My van needs better insulation [I have the walls, ceiling, and floor well insulted but the driving area need to be insulated off from the back of the van (i plan to do curtains lined with wool) and the sliding door and back doors need more insulation (also plan to do curtains lined with wool] once I do this I believe the ac should be able to work better in more extreme weather without the vehicle on. I use the 2400 pecron battery and 2 200watt pecron solar panels that are mounted on my roof to power the portable ac unit.

Wasteful yes, but it can be effective. I went camping two weeks ago in 95° heat at the scout camp north of Orlando and brought my Ecoflow wave 2. I was on staff for event, and it kept the interior of the tent fairly comfortable. It did run all night continuously. For reference this is a 4person tent from MSR.

You have to have 2 hoses for real air con and you really should insulate the outflow hose. You can buy velcro wraps cheap on amazon. 1 hose is just a fan with extra steps. Source: science, and my personal experience with an ecoflow Wave 2

No air con runs off 8 A (thats what your cig port output is). The "best" portable air con is EcoFlow Wave, however that requires AC, but you can get a big power station that can be charged via DC to power it. The "best" installed air con thats DC (i.e., 12 or 24 V) is Cruise N Comfort. Neither are cheap, both require a lot of amps. Anything smaller is probably not worthwhile. I have personal experience with both in my van

EcoFlow Wave 2 is probably the best in this category. I would recommend it along with the biggest EcoFlow battery you can afford/have space for. It works well for what it is. Have used it for two summers in a 170 Sprinter. Not going to run for multiple nights without some sort of charging method even if you have a Delta Pro. Highly dependent on vehicle and conditions of course

I have one. I would not expect it to do much if it's 105 outside. If your trailer is very small and you're running it off of shore power you may be able to drop it a couple of degrees but it's not worth the cost in my opinion. The battery is absolute garbage too.

I have one and used it plenty of times in my springbar skyliner tent...it works perfect. Cools the whole tent down alot...and makes it dry...but I've never been in it when it was over 90..only done 80s

The guy knows nothing about air conditioners or Eco Flow, he's running it in a 72 F air conditioned house of course it will drop temp 10 degrees - also no vent ducts when he sticks that intake duct out in real world 90-100 degree outside air, its another story. Also all air conditioners dehumidify air nothing unique about this unit. I'm still waiting on a firmware upgrade for both my Wave 1 & 2. Of all thing the thermostat does not work you can set cooling or heating temps. Mike

Trying mine out for the first time in my small trailer eight and a half by five and a half fully insulated 2 in thick insulation walls and ceiling and floor sun finally went down and steel cooler outside than it is in the trailer and air conditioner's been running for 3 hours wish I would have took it out earlier and tried it out and seeing if I could get my money back would not recommend would not recommend would not recommend. I have this thing sitting right at my window with maybe five of the clicks out on the hose so it's running straight in and it's just not doing it. Really disappointed. I'm handicapped and my medical conditions don't tolerate me heat and going to find something different.

I can cautiously recommend EcoFlows Wave 2. I use it with my Rivian R1S and RTT. I looked at another alternative but I don’t think it’s compatible with the Lightning. I’m familiar with one other portable AC, but decided on the Wave 2 because it also doubles as a portable heater. I purchased the unit on eBay refurbished at a steep discount. I’m hesitant to recommend it because it’s kind of a niche application. You’re trying to cool a tent with poor insulation and has been sitting outside in Texas heat all day. That’s a tough job for any portable AC. I’m also in Texas.

I have an Ecoflow Wave 2 on my boat that has its own battery. I can dehumidify and cool down my cabin in a tropical environment pretty quickly. Yes, it has ducts to push hot air out and cool air where it needs to go, so it's a little cumbersome. The battery will not last long on high cooling mode but is reasonable on eco-mode. I like the idea of having a portable air conditioner on my boat. I may do a permanent and proper marine air conditioner in the future, but this one does everything I need it to do right now.
