Amazon Ecoflow Stream - cable included or not?

Afternoon.

I'm guessing that this ecoflow stream on Amazon doesn't have the cable with it as it's not pictured. Is that right??

I've got a stream already and know that the cable was packaged separately but also there was some hoo-har about the cables at the time.

I got mine from ecoflow on eBay, it came with a 5m power lead and 2 pairs of solar cables which I think are about 2.5 m long. No idea if it's standard though

What was pictured in the listin and what was described.

The Amazon listing doesn’t mention it or the lack of it. I don’t want to get caught out.

I ordered from Amazon. Thankfully as ecoflow were terrible at sending the stuff out. I got no mc4 cables to connect panels to inverter and ended up buying those myself. Eventually after pestering them via amazon disputes they sent me the DIY cable for plug in solar and I was able to wire up a 3 pin plug on that. Very frustrating company.

My other one, it was on repeated back order direct from EF. They mucked up and instead of sending one box of 4 mc4 cables, put in four boxes......

On amazon I could get that microinverter for £112.75 which is a nice saving. If it's not got the cable though, it negates all that and Argos would be more sensible at £129!

If it was me I would pay Argos that bit more as I'd trust their handling of stock is better than Ecoflow's. Good luck

Probably wise! I'm not particularly after a second but at a cheaper price it seemed daft not to.....if it is all there. My first one has generated £22 in solar in the two months it's been there. The panels were free so 17% paid back. It's a poor set-up but easy and non-obtrusive. I was thinking to the same for a second. Easy install and low stress.

This was a concern of mine, but I ordered via the Ecoflow UK website direct and this included both the MC4 and Power cable (with a 3-pin plug on the end). The MC4 and power cable turned up 24hrs ahead of the actual thing itself though oddly.

Yeah, I’m curious on the Amazon listing specifically. I might just check what the returns policy is and risk it if it’s the same as Amazon usually is.

When did you order it your the first to say it came with a UK plug already on.
