BLUETTI Portable Power Station AC180, 1152Wh LiFePO4 Battery Backup w/ 2 1800W (2700W peak) AC Outlets, 0-80% in 45Min, Solar Generator for Camping, Off-grid, Power Outage

Outstanding Power Station—Reliable, Compact & Versatile
I recently purchased the BLUETTI AC180 and I’m thoroughly impressed. With its 1,152 Wh LiFePO₄ battery and a continuous 1,800 W AC output (2,700 W surge), it tackled everything I threw at it—devices, tools, even a small fridge.BLUETTI-US+2Medium+2The build quality is solid. It uses durable materials, has a well-thought-out layout of ports and control panel, and feels rugged enough for both home-backup and outdoor use.Medium+1I appreciated the recharge flexibility: whether via wall outlet, solar panels (up to ~500 W input), or car charger, it works smoothly and supports fast AC charging too.RV.com+2Manuals++2It’s also fairly portable for what you get—good capacity without being ridiculously heavy. The versatility means I’m confident using it for power outages, camping, and everyday backup. Overall, excellent value for the spec-sheet and performance.Highly recommend if you’re looking for a dependable power station that bridges the gap between compact mobility and serious capacity.

Amazing quality!
Came in handy for any kind of camping, had no problem running fans all night in the tent keeping phone charged I used with my little compressor cooler to have a little fridge, also for beach days using this power bank in combination with the compressor cooler to pull out frozen popsicles and cold drinks, keeping everyone’s phone charged to keep the music going, it’s awesome. Works good on road trips – plugged right into the car no problem. I did a car camping trip across 7 states and this fits perfectly into the car and lasted for my needs, I got a solar panel to charge it that works awesome too. Even worked amazing during the last hurricane we had, I took it to my grandma so she could keep her phone charged to contact us but also to pass the time playing FarmVille lol, run a fan all night for almost a week straight till she got the power back on in her area. If bluetti ever decides to send free ones out I’ll take one lol, I have this one and the Eb3a both are great no problems going strong, I’m currently trying to saving up for a bigger one. These are definitely quality and come in so many uses.

Good enough but . . .
I’ll start with the cons:*Display shuts off after a short time.*Watt meter does not display small loads 15watts and below.*Unit uses power while under zero load, so that combined with the second con means hooking up a small 15 watt fan ends up using much more power than if I had done the traditional solar set with separate components. If that’s your intended use, like me, you may be better off with a DIY system.All that aside the unit has functioned well, I’ve used a 1700 watt air fryer to cook chicken and generally appreciate its mid-power prowess as well. The watt meter seems to align with my kill-a-watt meter readings. Overall, it is a good value when on sale. Although I am not sure if I would buy it again over a DIY solar set up that can be expanded.

Estoy decepcionado lo usé para alimentar un bombillo durante 1 hora que se fue la luz y se cayó del 100% al 84% creo el arrancador de mi auto aguanta más , me siento estafado pues gasté como 15 mil pesos

I’ve had the machine for two weeks and have tested all of the features. It is everything that Bluetti claims it to be. It looks and feels like a quality device and it’s not too heavy (~16kg/35.27lbs) to take car camping.The UPS function actually works, even on devices with an electronic power button (such as a desktop PC) and that is unlike the emergency power source (EPS) system on a competitive model from another popular brand.I do wish the built in MPPT controller could handle more input current from solar. It is difficult to get close to the maximum 500W input from solar because of the input current limitation of 10A. 15A (like it can handle on AC) would be ideal on a machine in this class; however, a more robust MPPT controller and heavier gauge wiring would be required and that would increase the cost slightly.My only other wish for the AC180 would be rubber port caps for all ports, including the USB ports. If you charge the internal batteries outdoors with solar, dust and debris can collect in the ports. I purchased some vanilla port covers to take care of that, but they are not attached to the device so I may lose a few.The cooling fan does kick in when it is charging or discharging at a high rate but the sound is not as high pitched as it is on competing models. It isn’t quiet, but it isn’t horrible either.I downloaded the phone App to update the firmware. I don’t normally use phone Apps, but it was necessary in this case because you cannot update it with a jump drive or a PC. It works. I do wish you could set the display screen time out in the App. 30 seconds is okay, but when you are trying to optimize the position of your solar panels to maximize the input watts it would be nice to have the choice, rather than pushing the power button to turn the timed out display back on.Over all, an excellent machine and a good value if you can purchase it on sale for ~$1000. It will run a fridge over night in an emergency and has a large enough inverter (pure sine wave) to run almost anything for a short duration.
