What they say
EcoFlowRIVER 2 Pro
About eleven owner reports on the RIVER 2 Pro in r/Ecoflow_community from August 2023 to June 2026 include eight failures: units that stopped charging, died showing an overload or 60 Hz fault, or failed with a burning smell at four months (April 2025).
One owner's 12 V input connector melted (June 2026) and two found the fan loud above 300 W of pass-through.
Three owners in a June 2025 thread were positive, one calling it a favourite that handles a fridge's start-up surge.
Dabbsson600L
In r/SolarDIY an owner a year into a 600L bought on Amazon said it was replaced under warranty months after purchase and was showing an e0d error code (June 2026).

EcoFlowRIVER 2 Pro
OutdoorGearLab, which buys its test units, ranked it tenth of 14 with a score of 61 (January 2026), measuring 81 percent of rated capacity and a 1.3-hour charge, and faulted the loud fan and the 220 W solar cap.
CNET drew 634 Wh on AC, 83 percent of rated.
TheSolarLab, which earns affiliate commission on EcoFlow links, found X-Boost shut down on a 1,500 W heater and the fan pulsing inconsistently, but still called it a solid choice.
GearJunkie charged it from empty in a little over an hour (April 2023).
Dabbsson600L
The Solar Lab, which links to dabbsson.com through an affiliate link and passes on a 10 percent Dabbsson discount code, measured 85 percent efficiency, a 14 W idle draw and a full wall charge in 1 hour 45 minutes, found the build and app better than it expected at the price, and heard a high-pitched inverter noise and fans that cycle on and off under full load (undated, read October 2026).

Adventure Gear TV, which earns commission and carries an EcoFlow discount code, drew 647 Wh of 768, 85 percent, charged it in 70 minutes and saw 195 W from a 220 W panel (April 2023, about 189,000 views).
The Solar Lab, posting with affiliate links and a discount code, timed a full charge at just over an hour at about 900 W, called the charging less efficient than hoped and repeated its X-Boost failure (March 2024, about 57,000 views).
Dabbsson600L
Every channel found carries a Dabbsson tie.
ReeWray Outdoors, which marked its review as paid promotion on a unit Dabbsson sent, measured 642.89 Wh from the DC port, 84 percent of the rated 768 Wh, and an 11.5 W inverter idle draw, and found the app's charge limit of 80 or 85 percent useful for long-term UPS use (May 2025, about 3,100 views).
The Old Jarhead, which Dabbsson features on its 600L page and which links to the 600L on Amazon with affiliate links, ran it in real-world use (May 2025, about 2,100 views).
