  J’ai acheté le pack wave 3 avec batterie et en mode froid, la température ne baisse quasiment pas dans mon fourgon malgré les sorties d’air préconisé. Le wave 3 se met en sécurité. La grille d’aération comporte un petit grillage « anti insectes ». Le dernier firmware est installé. Soit le wave 3 est défectueux, soit ma grille d’aération n’évacue pas assez l’air chaud??? Quelqu’un a-t-il le même souci ?

  r/Ecoflow_community · Planning on getting EcoFlow Wave 3 to replace a portable AC in my apartment, is it worth it? →9 février 2026

  Absolutely not (IMO) it's expensive and low powered. I have the Wave 2 and it's not as good but at least gives me similar real life experiences. It's design hinges on maximum portability and independent power, both of those not important for an apartment. So you pay a ton extra for those features while still falling short on what matters (performance and reliability) Get a portable AC heat pump unit with dual hoses or a window unit if your allowed to use one. Midea makes really solid inverter units that are very quiet and energy efficient.

  r/Ecoflow_community · Question. Is Wave 2 better than Wave 3 or something?? This product seems to fit what Im looking for, but the amount of negative posts/comments arent reassuring →13 juillet 2025

  I'm going to offer a slightly different perspective than the one other comment (so far). When I bought my first ecoflow products, this subreddit was mostly positive. I think their new products are having issues/quality is going down/support....well that one I don't know. It seems like support always kinda sucked. With an asterisk. I bought two wave 3's. One broke on its first use. Support was slow and tedious, but they did ultimately replace it outright. So it was worrisome getting there but in the end they did make it right. That seems like a common story with ecoflow. Then there seem to be some more rare outliers that struggle to even get that. Do with that info what you will. Now that I have two functional ones, I like them a lot. They do what they're supposed to do. They're portable, they cool well (on normal and max). I feel like they've elevated my camping experience quite a bit. I am concerned that a lot of the posts have very similar failures related to the 110v input port with the wave 3. It's how one of mine died almost out of the box. But its replacement and the other one are going strong so far. It's also concerning (annoying) that you can't seem to buy/replace some of the accessories that come with them that are necessary for use. Such as the duct adapters. Good luck if you break one. Then it seems as if once they launch a new version of a product, all support for the prior version immediately stops. But I have seen posts where dead units still within warranty get replaced with the newer version. And finally, where I just agree with the other poster, I do think they just missed the mark a bit. Now that I have them I think I would have been happier with the wave 2. I think I would have traded fewer btu's of cooling power for the lower power draw of the wave 2.

  r/Ecoflow_community · Wave 3 are totally unreliable, 2 units have died in under a year →19 juin 2026

  My Wave 2 was a dud and Ecoflow replaced it and battery with a Wave 3 and battery and I'm super grateful for it. The Wave 3 was barely just released at the time and my Wave 2 was from their eBay return store. So IMO, they went above and beyond. That said, I use it in a pretty unconventional way: to keep a large grow tent I have (2) resin 3D printers in at a stable temp during Midwest, US summers. The grow tent is in an unattached, uninsulated garage, so it's a challenge outside of ear spring and fall to actually print things. Wave 3 has been doing a solid job for me. It runs for around 6 hours a day with the evenings and early mornings not needing cooling. I've been using it since it launched with no major issues outside of MPPT error when I have too much solar trying to go into the battery. All that said, I'm not really convinced that it the usage it's actually designed for (cars and camping) that it's a very good product. I mean, if you're in a shady area, maybe? Bit overall the cooling and especially heating seem very underpowered.

  It looks like you're using this in a house. This is not capable of working in a house, this is for a very small space like a car or a van. In no way would this ever be powerful enough for your house, so you can't expect it to work. Ecoflow is junk but these do mostly work in small spaces. You could have bought a real air conditioner for a house for way less.

  r/Ecoflow_community · Anyone used the Wave 3 in a insulated shed or small room? →2 février 2026

  Hey man, I’m an engineer that works with electrical systems a lot. The guy that said space heaters are 100% efficient is actually correct, but I want to clarify. They are efficient in that almost 100% of the energy they consume is converted to heat. However, anytime you directly convert electrical energy into heat (resistive heading elements) it takes a significant amount of energy, which is why it runs the power bill up so much. Heat pumps are more energy efficient because they transfer heat versus generating heat. In your situation, I would not buy the EcoFlow unless you want the portability. I have one and it is great, trust me. I use it for my sailboat and in emergency outages. In your situation, it might actually be cheaper to get a small mini split. The EcoFlow will work, don’t get me wrong. I bought mine refurbished from EcoFlow on eBay for $400. The biggest issue for you is going to be having to constantly drain it or set up something for it to continually drain into. It also does not heat below temperatures less than around 32°F. Another more affordable option would be a window unit with a heat option. I personally would not buy the wave unless you want it for portability.

  r/Ecoflow_community · Brand new Wave 3 - horrendous sound from water drain pump →7 octobre 2025

  You’re a lifesaver dude. I ran a bunch of water through the sump like you suggested, and while I don’t see any visible debris come out, the pump has now completely shut up and I (hopefully) am avoiding an RMA. For anyone coming across this suffering from the same issue - I put the unit in a bathtub and used a measuring cup with a spout to pour as precisely as possible. I removed the exterior grills from the front and rear. These are the large grills on the front and rear of the unit, NOT the ones on the top. This allows you to pour water directly into the “pan” (aka sump) at the bottom of the unit. It took a LOT of water, like over 10 pours of a 32oz measuring cup, I assume because a lot of water missed the target and went under the unit. Finally, the overflow alarm triggered, and I was delighted as it silently pumped the water out. It’s now running at max in the room next to me as I’m just listening to confirm it doesn’t screech again. Thanks again!

  r/Ecoflow_community · Wave 3 in Car Set Up Question →18 juillet 2025

  I would think the use of the rear inlet is a good idea too so the air used to generate the hot exhaust isn't sourced from inside, forming a vacuum inside the car that would force warm/humid outside air to intrude through weatherstripping & gaps/leaks in the body. I don't see any point in applying ducts to the front of the unit. Let the interior air continually recycle through the cold-side of the unit so it dehumidifies and cools easier (saving energy).

  Yep. It works if you plan it accordingly, and you dont have the expectation that it is like a house AC unit. Use mine in a tent for 1 week. With a nightly high of almost 90 with near 100% humidity. We put a bed tent over the blowup mattress and blew the 75° dry wave 3 ac air in and across us only while sleeping. We slept so much better. Plan to use this way 2x every year. As long as it holds up, I will be happy. (I use other Ecoflow products to power the unit)

  1. It’s just human nature that pissed off people post more than pleased people. 2. Wave 3 is fine, so is the 2. I have both. For a small van a 2 with an insulated hose is probably plenty. 3. People hate the wave because of the price and the higher wattage in the same footprint. Ecoflow just missed the mark; either make it cheaper, make it smaller, or make it more efficient. It did none of those things. Now, the drainage system is way better and it has some nice extra features and for my needs in the back of a small trailer hooked up to a pro 3 I love having the extra output. But I’m a minority on the use case, if I didn’t rearrange the trailer constantly for different jobs or completely empty it to put vehicles in I’d be stupid to not use a mini split over a wave 3.

  I’m happy with mine and it will cool your room. When using mine in the bedroom I have it set on a chair and a water bucket below it. It seems to work best like that. And also it shortens the distance I have to duct it out the windows, which is a good thing. It is a really good product and the app is great. But if I were you I would consider: A: finding a hobby like camping or something so you get more use of it. Or power it with solar panels. That way it would be easier to justify the cost. B: get a regular non dual hose AC for cheaper if you won’t use it in a way that it would benefit from being DC capable.

  r/Ecoflow_community · Ecoflow wave 3, good bad? Need reviews →3 juillet 2025

  I have three. The hardware is good, and the cooling performance is great. There are some really screwy bugs in the software, for example on sleep mode it will work perfectly all night and then sometimes at 5am just ramp the fans and compressor up to max for a bit even though the temp didn’t change. All three of them do it sometimes so I doubt it’s a hardware issue. EcoFlow seem unlikely to make significant improvements to software after release (they’ll just release a Wave 4 instead lol) so I wouldn’t expect issues like that to go away. If anything goes wrong, their support is beyond terrible. They shipped me a Glacier Classic that was dead on arrival, and it’s been a month so far trying to sort it out. They did manage to collect the dead one the other day, but radio silence so far about sending me a working one.

  r/Ecoflow_community · Ecoflow wave 3, good bad? Need reviews →3 juillet 2025

  Just got mine last week and have been testing it out so I think definitely think I can leave a worthy review here. The good: Cools insanely well for its size. Had it in my 10x12 shed during a heatwave, and it dropped the temp from 88°F to 72°F in under 20 mins. Battery life is legit. Ran it for 8 hours on eco mode (with solar charging) during a camping trip and it barely blinked. Love how portable it is. The handles and weight make it easy to move around, unlike those clunky old-school units. The not-so-good: The app can be glitchy. Sometimes it disconnects randomly, but restarting it fixes it. At full power, it’s louder than I expected, like a window AC on medium. Not a dealbreaker, but worth noting if you’re noise-sensitive. Overall a great product if you can pay for it. Looks like over reviews I came across were generally positive for both the wave 3 and the wave 2.

  r/Ecoflow_community · Ecoflow wave 3 - screen on, but not working / not turning on →7 juillet 2026

  Hopefully it's under their warranty. They wanted a bunch of info from me and it's annoying to have to wait 24-48 hours for an email reply to everything. Their phone tech support are a 3rd party company that can't do anything other than send an internal message to Ecoflow. You will never speak to anyone who can solve a problem, only people who are doing their best and following their training \[remember it's a 3rd party company, not Ecoflow\]. Even email response times are awful. I'd rate their customer support system as a 2 out of 10. It works, but it's not designed to treat you like you're a human with a thousand dollar problem. But, in the end, they will email you a fedex shipping label. Even once they receive the package, it can take them a while to ship you a replacement. The 1st time it took them an additional 2 weeks to send a new one. The 2nd time they were faster and it only took 5 calendar days to ship a new one. The 3rd one I have is great. No rattles, no problems of any sort. But, I have not connected it to the internet yet. I just hit the on button... Good luck!

  r/Ecoflow_community · Echo wave 3 constant water issues →29 juin 2026

  You basically drain the tray if you do that toothpick trick. You can either do it manually every maybe 4-6 hours of use, or just have a permanent solution that has a similar device that breaks the surface tension and directs the water to a bucket or on the ground. I personally have a DIY permanent solution using a zip tie attached to a funnel. The zip tie is the toothpick in this scenario, and brings the water to a funnel to a rubber hose to either a water container or the outside of my van. Or if its possible manually move the device to a place where you can drain water and tilt to drain every time you need to. Every AC has a drain (sometimes covered by a cap in low humidity areas) that by gravity drips out the water. The Wave being just another AC in fancy packaging is capable of doing the same thing except Ecoflow just designed it poorly that you need to break the surface tension of the water to drain on a level surface. All AC work this way. The house AC you use doesn't need tilting. It drains by itself. It dries by itself. Ecoflow just decided to "fix" what isn't broken when it terms of drain design.

  r/Ecoflow_community · EcoFlow Wave 2 Portable AC Review: Overhyped, Underperforming, and Not Worth It →8 juin 2026

  EcoFlow Wave 3 – Known Defect, Told to Use Tape, Then Offered Prorated Value. Buyer Beware. I bought an EcoFlow Wave 3 and honestly I’ve used it one time. One time. And right away I noticed hot air pulsing back into the cabin around the exhaust flange instead of going outside where it’s supposed to go. The unit is basically working against itself. So I contacted EcoFlow support expecting them to make it right. You know what they told me? Put tape on it. That’s their answer for a known manufacturing defect on a unit that costs what this thing costs. And when I pushed for a real fix, they offered me prorated value. So now they want to depreciate a unit that I’ve barely even used, for a defect that they already know about. This isn’t wear and tear. This is their problem that they’re passing off onto the customer. That’s the part that really gets me. They know about this issue. It’s a known defect with the base panel sealing around the exhaust flange and they’re still out here selling these units without saying a word about it. Then when you come forward they offer you tape and pennies. Do your homework before you buy one of these. I wish I had. How’s that feel?

  r/Ecoflow_community · Question. Is Wave 2 better than Wave 3 or something?? This product seems to fit what Im looking for, but the amount of negative posts/comments arent reassuring →23 mai 2026

  We actually ran the Wave 3 through a pretty thorough test last summer in a van and awning setup so this is a question I can give you a real answer on. The Wave 3 has more cooling power, 6,100 BTU vs 5,100 on the Wave 2, and pushes significantly more airflow, 330 vs 250 cubic metres per hour. In a van that difference is noticeable on really hot days. The dehumidifier mode is also a genuine addition, not a gimmick, especially in a small space overnight. The battery is the biggest upgrade though. Wave 3 uses LFP chemistry which gives roughly 5x the lifespan of the Wave 2 battery. If you're using it regularly that alone justifies the price difference over time. If you already own a Wave 2 and it's working for your space, the upgrade is hard to justify. If you're buying new, the Wave 3 is the one to go for.

  You will need this adapter to connect the Wave 3 to the Delta Pro, or its extra battery: **EcoFlow DELTA Pro to Smart Generator Adapter** [https://www.amazon.com/SAGUCFS-EcoFlow-Generator-Adapter-Battery/dp/B0FP4VTZSB](https://www.amazon.com/SAGUCFS-EcoFlow-Generator-Adapter-Battery/dp/B0FP4VTZSB) It will save you about 40W on the Wave 3 side compared to running it from an AC wall outlet. You will save even more if you run it from Delta's AC socket, because in that case, you have a double DC->AC, AC->DC conversion. Also, you don't need the Delta Pro power station at all, actually. You can just hook up the Wave 3 to Delta Pro extra battery, and it will run from it, and IT WILL CHARGE THE BATTERY if the Wave 3 is connected to the wall. Yes, the air conditioner will actually charge the Delta Pro battery, or any other Ecoflow power station extra battery for that matter.

  Space heaters actually aren’t inefficient. They are actually nearly 100% efficient as they covert almost all of the power in to heat. For the money you are gonna spend on a wave just get a cheap mini split, they have ones that run on 120v and they are much more efficient and will get way more btus out of them for the same cost.

  r/Ecoflow_community · Ecoflow wave 3 heater →19 décembre 2025

  No problem! >and it seems like having an outlet for the cold air is stupid important. Yeah... without an outlet for the cold air, it basically becomes a really fancy dehumidifier which slowly dumps its wasted heat \[from simply operating\] into the air. 1kWh of energy from the battery isn't negligible (equivalent to running a medium sized electric space heater for a bit under an hour), but it's going to take 2-4 hours to extract that heat from the battery at maximum settings (along with blowing both very hot and very cold air into the room/tent). >It also disappointing that it doesn't work well below zero. This one is tricky for a portable AC unit. Heat pumps which operate below zero are equipped with heating elements to occasionally de-ice the coil/radiator on the cold side. For a non-portable permanently installed heat pump, this is trivial because the ice can melt and drip directly onto the ground outside. ..but portable units need the water pumped out (and the water can quickly freeze or re-freeze in the condensation reservoir if it's extremely cold outside). On top of that, you'd likely need/want a higher capacity battery because running the heating elements for de-icing takes quite a bit of power. Last but not least, a portable unit with heating elements would also add a little extra weight. A portable heat pump for extremely cold temperatures might be feasible if it were allowed to sit outside your tent and freely drip water, but then you also run into the problem of the battery temperature getting extremely cold. >I just really wanted to not do a gas/fuel based heater. You might not necessarily need to go gas/fuel, but you might be better off with a power station connected to an electric space heater (or an electric oil-filled space heater for additional safety).

  So just Purchased the EcoFlow wave 3. This is only a prepers perspective’s. Maybe I got a working perfect unit and others have gotten duds. Unit has worked flawlessly. So I did not concentrate on the interior temp. I only ran it for 4 hours and my open concept floor plan could not co down the interior temp as way to large of an area. I believe the wave 3 is spec to heat /cool approximately 200 sqft or less. For 2 hours I had pure heat and pure AC. No the interior temperature gauge did not change as it’s a minimum of 1,000 sq ft area. When I put my shirt over the vents for 5 mi. Intervals it was way way to hot and on AC I got cold. A tent does not trap heat/AC. Maybe it will heat or co your area but really anything over 180 sqft is too much. Power consumption. So I had the fan turned up all the way in ac or heat mode. I only pushed just under 300 watts through the 4 hours. 2 AC. 2 Heater. That’s not on max settings but full blast heat/ ac  Hungry on batteries but I promise being a heat pump don your research and to cool or heat. Great product and with just under 300 watts on high fan heat love the product and love.

  Yeah, that's what I thought would be good about it too - all in one. We have a diesel heather and in the winters (think 10,000 ft elevation, -26C) it has been the only thing able to keep us warm in the van. It's about 2k to buy plus 1k to install, and runs off your fuel tank. If you need light heat, my personal favorite is a simple house oil heater (https://amzn.to/4mMAsEe) . If you have enough energy, it's warm, AND quiet. Last winter on ski trips I carried it with me, and whenever on a plug-in site, I would use it instead of the diesel. One thing I haven't tried, but it might work, is installing Wave outside your van. It has option to go in/ or out, and I did the in the van. Maybe if you mount it outside the van and pipe the cool air in, it will work better. Since you can get it for cheap from the friends, might as well try... but it requires putting some rack on the back of your van, and then cutting a hole into the van. I don't want to butcher my van just to try.

  I'm considering this too but knowing how eco flow is and those connectors are generally 48v from what I can see from specs online I'd have to assume the device runs off 48v so it wouldn't really be the best anyways to connect it directly via DC because you'd still have to step to 48v unless your system is 48v already. It maybe a bit more efficient but kinda defeats the purpose anyways. And yea if I had to bet one or multiple of those 6 pins probably have to see power to be able to input the power into the device. It maybe a pulse signal as well which would be very hard to counter.

If your unit is new out of the box, it's possible it has been transported sideways or upside down.

  There was a thread a couple of months ago where there was some signal that was needed from the battery before it would enable the input. A person took apart the input board and jumped a couple of relays but never came back to give instructions on which ones to do

  That’s about right, I would expect a house, which is usually well insulated to do better. People don’t understand that RVs and vans typically don’t have a lot of insulation, I expect this little unit to cool the whole vehicle.

  The noise is the least of my concerns now.  I used it overnight and started developing errors the next day.  High pressure errors and the auto drain works on and off (have to press it manually). Decided to return it.

  r/Ecoflow_community · Question. Is Wave 2 better than Wave 3 or something?? This product seems to fit what Im looking for, but the amount of negative posts/comments arent reassuring →13 juillet 2025

  I would say the Wave 2/3 are amazing products for tent camping. I think some have used it as a dedicated box unit, and you will never be satisfied honestly. The best combo would be a battery pack and a regular few hundred dollars AC units, available at hardware stores.

  The auto drainage works perfectly when the machine is running — it consistently releases a few hundred milliliters of water every 30 minutes through the hose, so no issues there.

  r/Ecoflow_community · Ecoflow wave 3, good bad? Need reviews →5 juillet 2025

  I've been using the Wave 3 for about 1 month now, so I can share some real world experience. **The Good:** The cooling performance is actually pretty solid for what it is. I use it in my RV during summer trips and it definitely makes a noticeable difference in a small space (under 200 sq ft works best). The battery life is decent, I get about 4-6 hours on eco mode depending on outside temp. Setup is super simple, just plug and go. **The Reality Check:** It's not going to replace a traditional AC unit if you're expecting that level of cooling. Think of it more as a really good personal cooler that can take the edge off. I learned this the hard way during a 95°F day in Arizona. It helped but wasn't a miracle worker. The noise level is noticeable but not terrible. About like a window AC unit on low. My biggest complaint is actually the water tank - you'll be refilling it more often than you'd expect in dry climates. **Worth it?** : For me, yes. I pair it with my Delta 2 power station and it's been great for camping and power outages. But I went in with realistic expectations. If you're looking for something to cool a large space or replace central air, you'll be disappointed. What's your intended use case? That really determines if it's the right fit. For RV/camping/small rooms, it's solid. For whole house cooling, look elsewhere. PS: I do wish I had waited to purchase it, as [EcoFlow is currently running promotions](https://breezyjob.com/ef-wave3) that would have made the investment more interesting. This thing is not cheap!

  r/Ecoflow_community · WAVE 2 battery? WAVE 3? They're fully compatible 🔄 + extra 5% off early bird deal inside! →4 juillet 2025

  This is odd as EcoFlow themselves are selling the new Wave 3 unit with the wave 2 add on battery! The only difference they say is that the new 3 battery will last a bit longer on a charge but also a longer life expectancy it also allows for charging without need to be connect to the device (assuming it has its own built in ports which is a plus if you have more than one battery. I have just ordered a Wave 3 with Wave 2 battery direct form Ecoflow (on Amazon they have a deal for £649 although it wont be delivered until August (but I'm not sure if the UK has stock yet anyway!) The Website price from Eco for the same is £749 and any discounts or credits cant be applied so the Amazon deal is £100 cheaper so worth the wait time. These prices are based on 04 July 2025 as the bundle is being sold directly from Ecoflow themselves it would be hard for them to wriggle out of saying there is an incompatibility. I fully expect the battery wont last or perform as well on the Wave 3 as it did on the Wave 2 as the new model is more power hungry and as such the older battery is a lower spec so will last less time than it would have on the Wave 2 model. I would guess the best option would be is to keep the Wave 2 battery as its a good deal and then rather than trade up to the Wave 3 battery get one of their other power stations or something similar and then use that to power the unit (as it will be more versatile in general, granted it will be another bigger unit but lets face it the Wave isnt exactly back pack size so fitting in another larger power pack in the care for trip away shouldn't be too much or a problem I will be using mine on the boat, Ive just fitted a motorhome under bench AC unit on the 12V system which should be fine for a while on shore power but the eco will be handy for the over night stays to avoid draining the main batteries if not plugged in. or just as a boost to the temp if power is plentiful. there are quite a few portable AC units about now but I think the Ecoflow Wave unit is the one to go for as the others are still a bit being on the battery side although I guess if you are going to carry a larger power pack with you and solar charge it then actually it might not be an issue, but the portability of a one unit for a day out say is convenient, it will also be handy to take to hotels where AC is not fitted (and the bonus is it their electric!)

  r/Ecoflow_community · Wave 3 usgae for residential small room possible? - Prospective Wave 3 buyer →4 juillet 2025

  Why? Do you have a secondary use for the wave 3 going camping or something? The wave 3 will only do 6000btu and spend 550-650watts doing that, or you can spend $150-200 on a small window 5,000btu air-conditioner that can get 14 seer or more. and 200-300watts for just slightly less cooling. Or get a 10,000btu for twice the cooling and similar electricity usage as the wave 3. So unless you want to be able to move it and go camping it's one of the more expensive ways to cool your room

  r/Ecoflow_community · Wave 3 usgae for residential small room possible? - Prospective Wave 3 buyer →4 juillet 2025

  I'm using the Wave 3 to cool a room about 200 sq. ft. that gets to about 95 degrees this time of year if the house A/C is off. And it works pretty good because the room is insulated well. I purchased because I'm using solar to power for most of the time. I can get the room down to about 78-80 degrees if it's running full blast, and that's at about 110 degrees outside. At night, the Wave can cycle on/off and keep cool. Definitely more energy efficient than a 10,000 btu portable A/C because I've tried those as well. The efficiency is quite impressive on the Wave 3. The trick is to insulate the out take air duct hose, and also insulate the snap-on port duct. I use a heat resistant bubble wrap. I'm more concerned with the long term use running the wheels of this unit for a few months out of the year.

  I’ve already received the second Wave 3 unit, and it doesn’t cool either. The output air temperature doesn’t drop below 13 degrees Celsius, no matter how I set it up—I’ve tried everything. I’m getting tired of constantly sending units back and trying another one. It’s a big disappointment; if they have such problems, I think they should test every unit before selling it. For me, this is a big letdown.

  Shit mine is lucky if it reads in the 50° anything. The temp sensors aren’t accurate. Testing with a secondary thermometer it does hit mid 50° output. Just don’t read the correct temp. But even then my wave 2 would be putting out in the high 40°’s.

  Given how hard it is to find wave 2s now, I'd see this as another release of it though it's slightly better at about the same price point if you're getting the early bird deal. Though I'm not sure if the ending price of $649 includes the $100 down for the extra $200 off.

  You're assuming the Wave 2 was built with enough overhead to handle the extra load. But most modern consumer electronics are engineered to hit the bare minimum, and there's rarely much headroom. Even something as simple as slightly thicker wiring, better heat dissipation, or improved insulation could be what allows the Wave 3 to run at higher wattage. That doesn't mean the Wave 3 is better. It may just be engineered to a slightly higher bare minimum. Without those changes, trying to push the Wave 2 further could lead to premature failure.

  additionally 6C is very close to the ecoflows functional limit (5C) for heating and cooling. it may be too close and as a result its simply unable to make up the difference.

  Most portable AC can drop the incoming air by about 20° - 30° F at the most depending on factors like humidity, etc. Sounds like it's working as expected, which is great since many brands never perform as expected.

  r/Ecoflow_community · Ecoflow wave 3, good bad? Need reviews →3 juillet 2025

  I tested it in my bedroom, which might as well be a sauna in the summer, and within 20 minutes it went from 'I’m melting' to 'oh hey, this is actually comfortable.' It’s not going to turn your place into an igloo, but for something this small, I was shocked at how well it handled the heat. What really sold me was the battery life. I ran it for a full movie night (yes, all three _Lord of the Rings_ extended editions, don’t judge me) and it still had juice left. And it’s so easy to move around—I carried it to a friend’s garage hangout when their AC died, and suddenly I was the hero of the night. On eco mode, it’s quiet enough that I could sleep without feeling like I was next to a jet engine. That said, it’s not perfect. The app is kind of a mess—it keeps forgetting my settings, and half the time I have to restart it to get it to connect. And if you crank it up to max, it does get a little loud, like a window AC unit on medium. Not unbearable, but noticeable if you’re trying to have a conversation. Still, after returning three other portable ACs this summer, I’m keeping this one. It’s not magic, but it’s the closest thing I’ve found to beating the heat without installing a permanent unit. If you’re on the fence, just go for it—worst case, you join the club of people who finally stopped sweating through their sheets every night
