Be sure to check all the devices you want to power and see what their wattage is. Most devices will say this on the bottom. These power stations advertise Boost Modes which are not real wattage (only useful for heaters). Make sure the devices you want to run will have lower wattage than what the battery pack can output continuously without using a boost mode.
**If you want to run a portable AC, get at least 1500W continuous. Don't do what I did and do a dumb lol. These devices can be potentially lifesaving but must meet continuous output spec.

This video is a review of the Ecoflow River 2 Pro 700 testing this battery bank with several devices around my house to see what runs and what doesn't run. I'm mostly concerned about how long the ecoflow battery can run a fridge when the power is out. I also tested the Ecoflow power station with my kettle, my toaster oven, my gaming computer, my portable air conditioner and several other random items around my house. This review of the battery is meant to help you decide if a portable power station is right for you.
They'd also be great to run a CPAP machine or fan when the power is out.
I would highly NOT recommend running a space heater on a battery like this. It would only run for at most an hour in low mode (~700W). If you want to run a space heater, get a bigger battery. Or, better yet, use electric blankets.
My Ecoflow may have died but I think these things are super cool. In my opinon every household should at least have a small one. The smallest ones may not be capable of running fridges, though. I thought this was a good balance of price vs specs. It's possible to go down the rabbit hole on these and endlessly spend $100 more until you get to whole home power solutions.
