Will an EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus run an electric kettle? (US 120 V)
Exceeds output — nothing to time — it will not run see why below ↓
The load is more than this inverter can sustain. 3,000 W against 600 W continuous — 500% of it. No accessory closes a gap that size — it takes a bigger inverter.

Two numbers decide this, and readers arrive using them interchangeably. Watts are the ceiling on what the inverter can hold at any instant — an electric kettle needs 3,000 W of them while it runs. Watt-hours are how much energy the battery holds, and the EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus holds 286 Wh of them on the nameplate. A machine can have plenty of one and not enough of the other.
The verdict above is a calculation — running watts, start-up inrush and inverter waveform against this machine's continuous output and surge ceiling — not a lookup. What it will not do is print a runtime, and the reason is specific: there is nothing to time. A runtime for a load this machine will not start is a figure about nothing.
Where those numbers come from
Every figure below carries the tier it came from and the date it was checked. A blank is never left blank: a field the manufacturer does not publish says so, and a field whose sources disagree — two documents, or one document with itself — says that instead of picking one.
No usable-capacity figure for this machine
EcoFlow publishes a nameplate watt-hour number and nothing about depth of discharge or inverter efficiency for this model. Dividing the nameplate by this load would be wrong by 20–35% in the flattering direction, so this page shows the nameplate for what it is and refuses to turn it into hours.

Energy rate instead of a runtime
3,000 Wh per hour averaged over this load’s duty cycleThis number needs no battery figure at all, which is why this page can give it when it cannot give hours. Divide any usable-capacity figure you trust by it and you have your own runtime, with our arithmetic visible instead of hidden.

What this page is not going to sell you
There is no buy button on this page, and that is the finding rather than an omission: the EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus does not run an electric kettle. A price here would be a sale, not an answer.
