EcoFlow, renowned for its innovative portable power solutions, has once again raised the bar with the introduction of two groundbreaking products: the Wave 3 portable air conditioner and heater, and the Glacier Classic portable refrigerator. With the new Wave 3 portable air conditioner/heater and the Glacier Classic portable fridge/freezer, EcoFlow isn’t just solving power needs anymore. It’s giving vanlifers, campers, and preppers true independence from the grid.

Here’s why these new devices are set to change off-grid living forever.

EcoFlow Wave 3: Powerful Climate Control Without The Bulk

The Wave 3 isn’t just an upgrade, it’s a full reinvention of what portable heating and cooling can look like. At just 32 pounds, this 3-in-1 unit cools, heats, and dehumidifies spaces up to 183 square feet (the size of a van, a tent, or a small cabin). It punches above its weight with 6,100 BTUs of cooling and 6,800 BTUs of heating, delivering fast temperature changes — dropping the heat by up to 15°F or raising it by 17°F in just 15 minutes.

One of the best parts? It can run completely cordless. Thanks to its 1,024Wh detachable battery (sold separately or bundled), the Wave 3 can cool for up to 8 hours without a single cable in sight. And because EcoFlow is EcoFlow, you can recharge it almost any way you want: AC wall outlet, solar panels, car charger, or its Alternator Charger.

Smart features seal the deal. Using the EcoFlow app, you can set the perfect temperature range, switch modes, and even activate “Pet Mode,” which kicks in automatically if temps rise above 77°F — ideal if you leave a furry friend behind for a bit. EcoFlow also focused on the small (but important) stuff: better-insulated hoses, a smarter drainage system, and much quieter operation compared to earlier models. The EcoFlow Wave 3 is available right now for just $849 thanks to Super Early Bird pricing, which is a savings of $450 off of its full retail pricing of $1,299, and orders through May 2nd will also receive a free 110W EcoFlow solar panel.

EcoFlow Glacier Classic: Serious Cooling, No Compromises

Pair the Wave 3 with the new Glacier Classic, and you’ve got a portable living setup that rivals a real home fridge-freezer combo. Available in 35L, 45L, and 55L sizes, the Glacier Classic comes in a size to fit any lifestyle. The bigger models (45L and 55L) offer dual-zone cooling, meaning one side can be a fridge, the other a freezer. The 35L version simplifies things with a single cooling compartment you can toggle between fridge or freezer mode. Each Glacier Classic comes with an optional 298Wh battery that can keep your items chilled for up to 43 hours, and of course, it’s compatible with solar panels for true off-grid independence.

What makes it stand out? It’s about 40% smaller than typical electric coolers, thanks to upgraded insulation and smart internal design. EcoFlow even packed in 2-inch foam walls for extreme efficiency, which means your cold stuff stays cold without chewing through battery life. And like everything EcoFlow, it’s easy to control right from the app — adjust temperatures, monitor battery status, and make sure your next meal (or beer) is perfectly chilled. EcoFlow has an Early Bird offer running on the Glacier Classic models through May 2nd, with the 35L going for $699 (reg. $788), the 45L going for $799 (reg. $899), and the 55L priced at $1,099 (reg. $1,199). And right now, buyers of any of these Glacier Classic models will also receive a free Power Hat, a value of $129.

The Perfect Combo For Life Off The Grid

What EcoFlow is really offering with the Wave 3 and Glacier Classic is freedom. Freedom to hit the road without worrying about how you’ll stay cool (or warm), freedom to pack fresh meals without fearing spoiled food, and freedom to extend your adventures far beyond traditional campsites.

These aren’t just “nice to have” gadgets — they’re serious tools for a lifestyle that demands reliability and flexibility. Whether you’re living full-time in a van, camping deep in the backcountry, or just prepping for the next big power outage, EcoFlow’s new lineup makes self-sufficiency a lot more comfortable.

With the Wave 3 and Glacier Classic, EcoFlow is doing more than offering better off-grid tech — it’s redefining what it means to be comfortable, anywhere on earth. If you’re serious about adventure or self-reliance, these two pieces of gear might just be your new essentials. Get all the details on what the company is calling A New Era of Cool at EcoFlow.
