How long will an EcoFlow RIVER Pro run a slow cooker?
About 3.7 hours — 3 h 40 min typically, from 3 h 28 min in the worst case to 3 h 53 min at best. That assumes a slow cooker pulling 250 W for 50% of the time (average 125 W), plus the station's 10 W AC mains socket overhead — 135 W in total out of 496 usable watt-hours.
Low power for a long time — an unusually good match for a mid-sized station.
The numbers
| Setup | Average draw | Cautious | Typical | Best case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × slow cooker, UK 230 V | 135 W | 3 h 28 min | 3 h 40 min | 3 h 53 min |
| 2 × slow cooker, UK 230 V | 260 W | 1 h 47 min | 1 h 55 min | 2 h 1 min |
| 1 × slow cooker, US 120 V | 135 W | 3 h 28 min | 3 h 40 min | 3 h 53 min |
- 0.5 nights of eight hours, or 0.15 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 4,458 Wh of rated capacity — 6.2× this station.
- Start-up: the slow cooker asks for 250 W at switch-on against this station's 1,200 W peak — comfortable.
