Great power station from a big name reputable company. Packs some punch 1800W AC inverter and 1 kWh storage with 2 USB C ports a 140W and a 100W I believe. 2 normal USB ports, nice big bright display. Small compact unit and mine will even power a 1000W tube microwave that the name plate says takes 1800W. I have another model 1800W power station that doesn't like that same microwave and I don't use that one on micro because micro makes a humming noise with that station so appreciate this one has a more robust 1800W AC output. This power station just works so well and is easy to charge with solar panels. Nice value power station for the price. Build quality seems very solid to me. Read more
Price: Probably your entire camping budget (plus the camping trip you'll skip to afford it) Ah yes, the BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 - because apparently "portable power station" sounds way more sophisticated than "really expensive battery." This 2025 model promises to keep your devices charged during the apocalypse, assuming you can actually lift the thing to carry it to your bunker. 1024Wh of Pure Paranoia With 1024 watt-hours of LiFePO4 battery backup, you'll have enough power to... well, to worry about whether you're using it efficiently enough. Perfect for people who can't decide if they're "outdoorsy" or just terrified of minor inconveniences. The LiFePO4 chemistry means it'll outlast your commitment to that van life Instagram account you've been planning. 4 AC Outlets (Because Roughing It Has Standards) Features four 1800W AC outlets with 3600W surge capacity - because when you're "camping," you obviously need to run your espresso machine, hair dryer, electric blanket, and gaming PC simultaneously. Nothing says "one with nature" like the hum of four separate electronics drowning out the birds. 35% Smaller (Still Not Small) They've made it 35% smaller than the previous model! Which is marketing-speak for "it's still absurdly heavy, but now we can pretend it's portable." Sure, you can technically carry it, just like you can technically carry a cinder block. Your chiropractor will send BLUETTI a thank-you card. Solar Generator Feature It works with solar panels! Finally, you can harness the infinite power of the sun to charge your finite patience while waiting 6-8 hours for enough juice to make a single pot of coffee. Nothing screams "prepared outdoorsperson" like being completely dependent on good weather. UPS Backup Mode Includes UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) backup for when the grid goes down and you need to ensure your Wi-Fi router stays online so you can tweet about the outage. Because if you can't post about surviving without electricity, did you really survive at all? The Good: Actually well-built, legitimate power capacity, LiFePO4 batteries are quality stuff, will genuinely save you during power outages, impressive surge capacity for those brief moments when you pretend to need it. I bought 2. The Bad: "Portable" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting in that product description, costs more than most people's actual camping gear combined, you'll spend more time explaining what it is than using it, makes you that person at the campsite. The Ugly: The realization that your ancestors survived just fine without 1024Wh of battery backup, and here you are unable to go 24 hours without charging your phone. Bottom Line: The BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 is perfect for people who want to experience nature but with all the comforts of civilization strapped to their back. It's genuinely useful technology wrapped in the anxiety of modern life - a $400+ security blanket that runs on lithium and existential dread. Will it save you during an outage? Absolutely. Will it make you cool? That's between you and your therapist. Read more
Seems to be everything Bluetti promises. Quiet under load and when charging. At only 25 lbs, it's light for the capacity and easy to move from room to room. LFP cells are good for 4000 cycles. Easy to use app. Firmware can be upgraded over Bluetooth without requiring a WiFi connection. High power (140W) USB C port. Up to 1000W solar input using a standard XT60 connector. Provides up to 1800W continuous, with a good surge margin. Is easily able to run my basement dehumidifier rated for 6 amps. Read more
I bought this for solo camping after my son bought a different one for work. This thing is a tank and very easy to use. About the size of a regulation football, fits anywhere. I’m using mine at a KOA type camp site. I have electric from the campsite coming in and the base station powering a 500w heater, my Dometic fridge, and charging various lights. This thing makes sure everything is running smoothly. For winter camping, if you don’t have electric coming in you’ll want one of the high powered units to run a heater all night. For everything else, this will be plenty of power, especially with the solar panels. I would definitely recommend again. Read more
Love that I can power almost any appliance in such a small package and it can also input 1000w of solar. The AC charging performance is also much faster than the old generators. It takes no time to charge. Also like the the ports are all forward facing so easy access no mater where you put it. You can also cheaply increase capacity with regular 12v 100ah LIPO batteries by plugging them into the DC input port and get about 100W input at 12V more if you ran some at 24V. I see no need for the bigger options unless you needed more than 1000W of solar, but you could also do that by feeding separate batteries with a small solar controller then feed those into this. My only dislike is the app seems a little clunky. I'd like to be able to turn it on via bluetooth but once it's off bluetooth is off and it can't communicate with your phone. You also can not turn it on via wifi either. This means you always need to physically power it on via the power button. I also appreciate how quiet it is, it's very stealthy for normal camp use and only ramps up fan noise if charging it with AC. or 500w+. Smaller 200w or less loads are silent. Read more
The media could not be loaded. I love this thing!! I've had it a few weeks now and it has worked great! The best part of this is the compact and lightweight size compared to some other large units. It was extremely easy to carry with one hand. We took it on a road trip and powered DC coolers with it, took it camping and made coffee, toast in the toaster, used a table top ice maker and blender, made tater tots in the Air fryer and it even ran our full sized house fridge for about 12 hrs. It charges in a few hours with our 200 watt solar panel while placed on the beach at the lake. In additional to the above uses, we did also use it for the obvious things like phones, laptop and rechargeable camp lights. This is a good quality and reliable unit. I have many power stations and this one is my favorite. It handles pretty much anything I can throw at it. i bought one as a gift for a family member and she loved it. Read more
