From the specs

Suits

  • An average fridge through the night: about 10.8 h.
  • Kettles, coffee makers and most microwaves: 1,800 W output.
  • Quick solar refills: about 1.4 sun hours at its 1,000 W limit.

Look elsewhere for

  • Bigger motors such as pumps and AC units: no surge rating is listed (its 1,800 W output covers a typical fridge start).
  • Price per Wh: $0.49, tied #10 of 18 here.
  • Buying today: pre-order; BLUETTI says it ships from Nov 12, 2026.

CPAP users: follow your doctor’s and the device maker’s advice on backup power.

Motors and solar

BLUETTI lists no surge rating: only a 2,700 W Power Lifting mode for heaters, kettles and other resistive loads. The page’s summary mentions 3,600 W surge; the manual and spec list don’t. Some fridges need two to three times their running power to start (Anker); its 1,800 W continuous output covers a typical fridge start (about 900 W), but check bigger motors like pumps and AC units. Own draw: about 10 W (manual), included in every runtime here.

Solar: up to 1,000 W, about 1.4 sun hours to full by our math.

Add-ons from BLUETTI
