EcoFlow is now in the Philippines
EcoFlow, a renowned provider of portable power solutions, has recently launched its latest products, Glacier and Wave 2, in the Philippines. With the country facing an impending power crisis, these innovative devices offer significant benefits and solutions for Filipinos. In collaboration with Agile Technologies Inc., the official distributor of EcoFlow in the Philippines, these smart products aim to provide reliable, off-grid solutions for cooling, refrigeration, and power generation.
EcoFlow Glacier: Revolutionary Portable Fridge-Freezer with an Integrated Ice Maker
One of the flagship products introduced by EcoFlow in the Philippines is the Glacier, a portable fridge-freezer designed to keep food and beverages cold during outdoor gatherings and adventures. The Glacier stands out with its integrated ice maker and removable battery, offering convenience and flexibility.
The Glacier comes with a 298Wh removable battery, providing an impressive 40 hours of refrigeration or 19 hours of below-freezing temperatures on a single charge. Additionally, it boasts the ability to produce 18 ice cubes in just 12 minutes, making it ideal for quick cooling solutions.
Equipped with a powerful compressor, the Glacier can cool from 86°F (30°C) to 32°F (0°C) in as little as 15-20 minutes when set to Max Mode. However, users can also choose Eco Mode to prioritize energy efficiency, reducing power consumption for a longer runtime.
In addition to its refrigeration capabilities, the Glacier doubles as a portable charger for small electronics like laptops and phones. Its collapsible handle and wheels ensure easy portability, making it a versatile off-grid solution for Filipinos.
Moreover, the Glacier offers various charging options, including AC power, vehicle charger, solar panel, and power station. This versatility allows users to rely on renewable energy sources and reduce their dependence on the strained power grid, particularly during a power crisis.
EcoFlow Wave 2: Powerful Cooling and Heating for Outdoor Comfort
The EcoFlow Wave 2, the second generation of the WAVE series, is a portable air conditioner and heater that brings indoor luxury to outdoor adventures. It offers exceptional cooling and heating capabilities, making it an ideal companion for both hot summer days and cold winter nights.
With 5100 BTU cooling and 6100 BTU heating capabilities, the Wave 2 provides effective temperature control for an area of 107.6 sq ft (10 sq m). Furthermore, it is 22 percent smaller than its predecessor, enhancing its portability and ease of use.
The Wave 2 features multiple modes such as Eco, Sleeping, and Fast, as well as adjustable temperatures and settings, all accessible through the EcoFlow app. This allows users to personalize their comfort and optimize the device’s performance to suit their needs.
To ensure uninterrupted operation, the Wave 2 offers up to eight hours of runtime with its 1159Wh add-on battery. By connecting the device to an EcoFlow portable power station, users can extend the runtime to up to 18 hours. Additionally, with a solar input of up to 400W, users can harness renewable energy and support a sustainable, off-grid lifestyle.
