BLUETTISolar Generator AC200L, 2048Wh LiFePO4 Battery Backup, Expandable to 8192Wh w/ 4 2400W AC Outlets (3600W Power Lifting), 30A RV Output, for Camping, Home Use, Emergency

This really saved us when our electricity went out for a weekend. We plugged the fridge into it (19 cu ft one) and it lasted a couple days with no problem. (We used smaller power stations in other parts of the house to keep the modem going, and to charge various smaller devices.) This thing has lots of battery power, but I would suggest to prospective buyers that a couple smaller power stations in addition to this would be a handy thing to have for grid-down situations, if only because of the logistics of electrical needs in various locations within a house. BTW, this thing is heavy, 64 pounds, but it has nice handles. One person could lift it to move short distances, but a second person (or a dolly) would be helpful for longer distances. A nice feature is that it has the 30 amp outlet, so it could be used to power an RV with direct plug-in, but in our case (class C motorhome with a nearby basement storage compartment), even though it seems ideal at first glance store it in the compartment for backup power, I wouldn't want to have it jiggling around in there while driving, would much rather keep it inside to prevent the extra vibration. But then, there's the weight thing... Life is full of tradoffs.

I normally don't review expensive electronic items I purchase. Mainly for the bad karma that might be generated when something I give a good review fails. I also take both positive and negative reviews about products with a grain of salt. This review isn't so much about the product and whether it is either good or not- it's more about what the manufacturer does with a good product when it happens to stop working.But first, I'd like to state several things I like about the AC200L:No charging brick. The AC200 Max I also have uses a charger brick that's noisy and the fan neverturns off.AC200L's quiet internal cooling fan.Smartphone app control with WIFI connection.Solar charging up to 1,100-watt arrays.Expandable with one B230 battery.Expandable with up to two B210 batteries (with additional cost accessory cable).B210 batteries can simultaneously charge with separate 500-watt solar arrays due to internal MPPTcontroller.PV (solar) Priority UPS mode which prioritizes solar charging over AC grid (user adjustable settingsdetermine when AC grid cuts in).Two 100-watt USB C output ports. Plus, two USB A ports.One 12v DC (lighter outlet) with separate on/off button from the USB ports....and many other features that are too numerous to mention or I don't typically use.However, my AC200L suddenly stopped working, I called the 1-800 support number to see if there was a remedy. I stated the behavior, or lack thereof, to the representative and they indicated that somebody from Bluetti support would be contacting me soon. A day or so later, Anson the service representative assigned to the case, asked me to take a video of the unit to display what it was, or in my case wasn't doing.The next day, after Anson reviewed the video, he instructed me to securely package the AC200L (I had retained the original box and foam) and asked me to photograph the packaging so Bluetti could determine the shipping method and generate a return label. I received the label and took the box to a local FedEx. They refused shipment due to the internal batteries. This was the only hiccup in the whole process. FedEx said they would, however, allow scheduled no-cost next day pick-up from my house. I wish Bluetti would have told me this!Bluetti received the box several days later and immediately shipped a new unit out to me. I was both surprised and satisfied with Bluetti's (Anson's) speed and efficiency in the handling of my case!Nobody ever wants or expects to require service or replacement of an appliance! If you are hesitating to purchase any of Bluetti products because you either believe or have read that service after the sale will be tedious, difficult or non-existent, I'd like to put your fears to rest. I'm satisfied with the product, service and with the replacement Bluetti expedited to me.

I conducted a considerable amount of research on solar power stations prior to selecting Bluetti. After reading dozens of glowing reviews, I chose Bluetti. I could not possibly be any happier with my purchase. I purchased the Bluetti AC200L along with two B300 expansion batteries, for a massive 8,192Wh of power. My set-up is primarily used for emergency power back-up during power outages for my home. I was able to connect my AC200L with the 30 amp outlet directly to my manual transfer switch and then power selected circuits in my home. I can power my home security camera system, my LG OLED 64" TV, my Govee TV backlight, my Amazon Echo Show, two 150 watt equivalent lamps in my living room, two kitchen lamps, a full size refrigerator, a mini fridge, a freezer, a modem, a router, my main Tivo and mini Tivo DVR, a Lava Lamp, a neon clock, and charging my tablet and phone, all at the same time for an approximate run-time of 10 hours. I have a fuel efficient Westinghouse inverter generator set-up in my shed, which purrs like a kitten, vented with a wall fan, hardwired to my home via the transfer switch. I have the ability to turbo charge the Bluetti with the inverter generator rapidly, and then shut down the generator, and run my house circuits with Bluetti power seamlessly for around 10 hours. With this set-up, in the event of a power grid failure, in theory, I could power my house for at least 10 hours daily for over 5 months, using only 30 gallons of gas to run the inverter generator just long enough to charge the Bluetti AC200L and expansion batteries. I hope to eventually also add solar panels, which would add a new dimension to my set-up. Bluetti customer service has also been amazing! Bluetti is a premium product. With a 5-year warranty, and 10 years + battery life, what's not to love? We recently experienced a global IT outage, affecting millions across this earth, the biggest in recorded history, and with extreme weather events also on the horizon, the power grid is quite vulnerable. The Bluetti AC200L can even be monitored via an app with both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Even with no Wi-Fi, the app will connect via Bluetooth to the AC200L. How cool is that? Few products are life changing, although Bluetti is one that is. Thank you Amazon and Bluetti!
