At a Glance
This comparison targets buyers weighing a lightweight, solar-friendly portable station against a higher-output unit built for broader device coverage. The RIVER 2 Pro delivers 800W of running power in an 18.3 lb package, making it easy to carry to campsites or tailgates. The Jump 1500X nearly doubles that output at 1500W with 3000W surge, and it powered 33 of 53 tested devices compared to just 22 for the EcoFlow.
VTOMAN also adds expandable capacity and built-in UPS functionality, two features the RIVER 2 Pro lacks entirely. Battery longevity is a wash: both use LFP chemistry rated for 3000 cycles. The tradeoff is weight and recharge speed.
At 36.2 lbs the Jump 1500X is roughly twice as heavy, and its solar charge time stretches to 8.3 hours versus 5 hours for the RIVER 2 Pro with up to 220W input.
