Nobody else will tell you about these limitations of the EcoFlow Wave 2 Portable HVAC Unit. After over one year of testing the system, I will continue to use it, but want to share it true capabilities.

I went ahead and bought it based off reviews like this one and tested it on several 90-100 (f) degree days in Colorado before taking it to Burning Man. We were attempting to cool our camper van and I figured I'd give this a shot. I hate to say it, but even with the intake vent inside and a head start with the van AC, it had next to no meaningful cooling power. Yes, the air coming out of the vent was cool, but it did nothing to cool the vehicle. This is a well insulated van with full thermal window coverings. Disappointed that I am back to square one with two weeks to go before we need it most!

Extremely helpful as mine is arriving today and it’s dropping down in the 30’s tonight and I need it in my van.. thank you! This answers some of my questions and I didn’t realize how big it is and I’m figuring out where to install it 😊

I used my Wave2 for heating one room at a time last winter. It’s nice that it’s portable. Now I’m using it to cool my living room. It’s been over 100 degrees lately here in Eastern WA. Today the forecast is sunny and 99 but was 107 the last 2 days. I set my home HVAC on 76. Home AC doesn’t come on until 3 or 4 pm. I’m also using a little portable swamp cooler in my electronics room. I only exhaust the wave2 hot air out the window so just one tube going out. My only complaint is the external drain must be on all the time. Directions say if humidity is below 70% you don’t need external drain. Humidity here averages 25-40% and I always need the external drain on or the tank fills up and I get a warning to drain it.

Great video, and I agree with every word. Especially not taking in outside air when out of it's recommended temperature range. However, I don't think it does more heating/cooling in Max mode, it just runs the fans harder to move more air around. So when running it off battery I recommend using it on a lower mode.

2:06 This is just not how an heatpump works. If you mean to say that i fails to work at too low outdoor tempratures you are correct (the unit is not made for that), however, having the intake inside defeats the entire point of an heatpump..

Thank you very much for your review, I wish I saw this before I purchased it, I would have never bought it. I wanted a heater for the winter, this provided a safe way to heat my roof top tent, but I didn't know it shuts down below 5○C, THAT SUCKS!! I have tested this twice, , both times shut down at -0°C. I didn't try your method of just the exhaust port, but I think it will still shut down, but i will try it.
Either way, it wiĺ not work for winter camping.
It is a fall heater at best and portable A/C at best, not made for Canadian Winters.

So I recently acquired a 4 season tent in the suburbs of Chicago. I attempted a couple days ago when the weather outside was close to 25 ish degrees Fahrenheit to run the heater not knowing it needed to be around 41 to actually operate the heating. It was decent for the minor cold in fall and early spring but dead winter or peak summer you better have some good insulation before you use the Wave 2.

The intake and exhaust is best routed outside the controlled space. The back outlet will expel the temperature difference you are trying to control for.

Is if you are trying to cool. The air coming out the back top vent will be the heat you are trying to remove from the space.

Please use as directed in the user manual for best results.

Have they fixed the Thermostat issue which was discuss in Reddit? They say Wave 1 thermostat was fine but on this Wave 2, Thermostat is not working?

How can i wire a regular deep cycle battery to this unit instead of the ecoflow battery pack

[joesoutdoorplaces]

You always do the best reviews of products. Thank you.

[Stevenjvolts]

If you are pulling from the air in Your space then air out the front might feel warmer but you are not adding heat youlr are just focusing the heat already in the space

[FredMas-gtuh]

can I run it with 3 100-watt solar panels without the 3 going to an 300-watt watt inverter ?? This would be with the battery still on the unit

[jbrown]

I have yet to figure out how something that pulls 550 watts can last all night long with juice left over from a approximately 3000 watt hours of combined battery? Seems to me like it would only run around 6

[jamiewhitcutt]

Can you clarify the routing of the ducts again in heating mode when the Wave is installed inside a Van?

[tarpanc]

mean while out side of usa.. thye rest of the world are running mini split systems .. and past few years the rv community are starting to use the mini split with great solar results.. a dual mini split is how i think im going with my boat in future..

[SpaceBrain-]

Im confused you said keep the front 3 inside, but the top is the exhaust and the read is an intake. Do you mean keep the front 2 inside and the rear, but put the exhaust (top) out the window?

[gandalfthemead]

Can you test this by not using the battery on the wave 2 and plugging in DC to DC on the Delta Max 2? That's what I was looking at plus maybe a 400 w panel

[VictorCaoCA]

Can you just connect and use the Wave 2 directly to AC power (without batteries)?

EcoFlow WAVE 2 Exhaust Ducts are clockwise or counterclockwise? wanted to know cuase trying to get extenders
