How long will an EcoFlow RIVER Pro run a pedestal fan?
About 8.3 hours — 8 h 16 min typically, from 7 h 47 min in the worst case to 8 h 45 min at best. That assumes a pedestal fan pulling 50 W continuously, plus the station's 10 W AC mains socket overhead — 60 W in total out of 496 usable watt-hours.
Low speed uses roughly half of high speed.
The numbers
| Setup | Average draw | Cautious | Typical | Best case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × pedestal fan, UK 230 V | 60 W | 7 h 47 min | 8 h 16 min | 8 h 45 min |
| 2 × pedestal fan, UK 230 V | 110 W | 4 h 14 min | 4 h 31 min | 4 h 46 min |
| 1 × pedestal fan, US 120 V | 60 W | 7 h 47 min | 8 h 16 min | 8 h 45 min |
- 1 nights of eight hours, or 0.34 days of continuous running.
- Usable energy: 496 Wh of the 720 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
- To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 1,981 Wh of rated capacity — 2.8× this station.
- Start-up: the pedestal fan asks for 100 W at switch-on against this station's 1,200 W peak — comfortable.

If this is for a power cut
In a summer outage, cooling is what a battery struggles with most. A rechargeable fan by the bed runs for hours on its own battery and costs far less than running an air conditioner from a station.
Rechargeable fan. After a hurricane the power can stay off for days in heat and humidity. A battery fan by the bed is what makes the nights bearable, and it runs for hours from a power bank.
Look for: USB-C charging, a stated runtime on low, and a clip or stand so it can sit close to you.
