How long will the River 3 run a laptop?

A typical 50 W laptop draws about 4 to 5 hours of runtime from 245 Wh, less with charging losses.

Can it run a mini fridge?

Only briefly. Most mini fridges pull more than the 300 W AC output, and runtime would be under an hour.

EcoFlow rates AC recharge at about one hour, and USB-C input tops it up from a wall or car charger.

That is near the top of its recent range. It is a good unit, but it has sold for less, so a sale price is the better buy.

Yes, with an EcoFlow or compatible solar panel through the solar input, though panel wattage is limited.

The power station, an AC charging cable and a car charging cable. Solar panels are sold separately.
