EcoFlow Wave 1 vs. Wave 2 Portable Air Conditioner: How Is It Upgraded?

With rising energy costs and extreme weather events, staying cool during the summer months and heat waves is becoming more challenging and expensive. But with the right portable air conditioning unit, there are ways to achieve excellent cooling power to keep comfortable, off the grid, or on the go.

The first generation of EcoFlow portable air conditioners, the WAVE Portable AC, changed the game when it entered the scene…

But if you thought the original was impressive, wait to see what the EcoFlow WAVE 2 Portable AC can do.

This upgraded model provides faster heating and cooling than ever before. Discover WAVE 2’s benefits and how it improves on its predecessor.

How Does WAVE 2 Improve on the Previous Model?

The first generation of the WAVE Portable AC was a groundbreaking achievement in compact and efficient cooling. But now, EcoFlow has raised the bar and delivered numerous innovations by introducing the WAVE 2 Portable AC.

Some of the most notable upgrades?

Read on to see how WAVE 2 brings things to a whole new level of cool (and heat!) with the latest innovation in on-the-go temperature control.

20% Smaller

Good things come in small packages. WAVE 2 Portable AC unit is 20% smaller than the previous model and weighs only 32 lbs (14.5 kg).

Highly compact at 20.4” × 11.7” × 13.2” (518 × 297 × 336 mm), you can take WAVE 2 anywhere — from road trips to camping adventures, without sacrificing valuable space in your RV, car, or your living room.

27% More Powerful

While the original WAVE Portable AC already had the industry-leading portable cooling capacity of 4000 BTU, the WAVE 2 Portable AC takes it to another level, further widening the gap between EcoFlow and the rest of the market.

With 5100 BTUs of cooling, it delivers more efficient and faster cooling than its predecessor. It’s the most powerful compact AC unit of its size, rapidly lowering the temperature by a whopping 18°F (10°C) — from 86°F to 68°F (30°C to 20°C) — in only five minutes!

Its predecessor only reduced the temperature by 11°F (6°C) in about eight minutes, meaning the WAVE 2 Portable AC delivers cooler results in a fraction of the time.

Heating and Cooling

One of the most significant upgrades of the WAVE’s newest generation is its heating and cooling capabilities. The original WAVE Portable AC was a powerful unit — but it was limited to only cooling.

The WAVE 2 Portable AC features 6100 BTUs of heating capacity, raising the temperature by 18°F (10°C)— from 68°F to 86°F (20°C to 30°C) in just five minutes.

It’s an all-in-one heating and cooling device — a versatile RV or off-grid living solution.

It’s also a viable alternative to window ACs and central air for smaller apartments and homes. Because no installation is required, you can quickly move it from the living room to the bedroom when it’s time to sleep.

Longer Lasting

Most portable AC units don’t run for long. Even the original WAVE Portable AC could only cool for three hours at a time with the add-on battery before needing to recharge.

The WAVE 2 Portable AC lasts up to eight hours with Eco Mode. Say goodbye to sleepless nights in a stuffy, overheated tent or bedroom!

Recharge your energy for the adventures ahead in peace and quiet cool.

What Else Is There to Know About the WAVE 2 Portable Air Conditioner?

EcoFlow’s vision is to pave the way for a future of renewable energy through solutions that address both power generation and storage.

The WAVE 2 Portable AC does just that. It integrates with the DELTA 2 Portable Power Station w/220W solar panel or DELTA Max for faster charging and longer-lasting performance.

You can also maximize your runtime with the DELTA Pro w/400W solar panel. You can recharge your AC unit faster with an upgraded 400W solar charging input.

The design also makes this the most powerful unit of its size. An automatic drainage feature in cooling mode eliminates manual drainage and makes maintenance a breeze.

Plus, the WAVE 2 Portable AC requires no installation, meaning you can start enjoying its heating and cooling capabilities immediately without hiring an HVAC professional.

Through the EcoFlow smartphone app or the manual controls on the AC unit, you can customize the various modes and set the desired runtimes to fit your needs.

If you’re concerned about sustainability — and who isn’t? — WAVE 2 uses R290 as its refrigerant. Unlike traditional coolants used in ACs and refrigerators — like freon and other CFCs — R290 is a natural, clean, and green refrigerant with less global warming potential and no ozone emissions. You’re doing your bit to reduce your carbon footprint by choosing an AC that uses eco-friendly coolants.

With off-grid capability and multiple charging options (including solar), the WAVE 2 Portable AC brings you one step closer to building a smart, sustainable home ecosystem.
