BLUETTI Portable Power Station AC200MAX, 2048Wh LiFePO4 Battery Backup, Expandable to 8192Wh w/ 4 2200W 230V AC Outlets (4800W Peak), 30A RV Output, Solar Generator for Outdoor , Home Use, Emergency

I bought this for a Van conversion that I plan to live out of but got it early to beat inflation. I also bought 2 fixed solar panels total 330W and I've used them through the summer and up to now. I've taken it camping, used it to power DIY tools with high draws and run my TV and PC off it to save money.Pros-its well build with rugged plastic and the carry handles make it about as easy as something this heavy can be to carry that said it is on the limmet of what 1 person can carry safely. also even though it is rugged due to its weight it will probably break if you drop it.- you have access to a lot of juice- its probably the best on the market with LiFePO cells it will last far longer than its competitors (see charge cycle data) and at 2k your paying ~£1 per Wh storage which is around the going rate.-the battery automatically turns on when it receives solar powerCons (this is what I want to be improved and most of it can be done through firmware updates)- there is no data logging so you can't analyse your generation and power use- the battery uses a lot of juice on standby mode ~1% per hour so you will lose 10% overnight- the battery does not automatically turn off when not in use so if you just leave it plugged into solar you'll lose about 10% every night which on a very cloudy day is most of what it gains- I never got the full potential out of my solar panels not even on the brightest of days, I don't know if this is the panel's fault or if the solar charger component is cheap.in conclusion, this is a good purchase probably the best on the market but it's frustrating that at 2k it's still got room for improvement, I hope they do update the firmware.

Fast delivery works well lots of functions but could do with Wi-Fi but expensive

Bought as a home backup where we use it at night to power 55" TV, Internet router & standard lamps when electricity prices are highest. In conjunction with our smart meter & roof solar panels, couldn't be happier: swap over to battery when smart meter says it's costing us; that's becoming earlier of course c. 6pm in Aberdeenshire. Next day shows c. 78% depending on the load we've put through it. Run it down below 50% or further if long range weather forecast says there's sunny-ish days ahead to recharge it. Recharges at 473w so smart meter must show >500w return to grid for us to plug it in for recharging. Looking at a 200w plug in solar panel for an alternate /mobile charging solution too. This is a niche energy solution, compared to most people, though it suits our needs well.

The AC200Max is an outstanding unit with barely any competition. I did my research for almost a year reading about most units sold and available to me. My research looked into the 2Kwatt units available. After all the time spent, months worth, I decided that Bluetti had the best technology and record for my needs and investment.I received the unit and packing proved to be excellent. The unit had no harm and all components came in the box per description.The AC200MAX has 2000W inverter and a TT-30 amp RV outlet! Now we are talking about a truly functional device to help my wife and I enjoy off the grid , boondocking time in our RV. AC200 is a 2048 watt beautiful solar generator. You can plug your RV into this and be able to use appliances, ie. coffee maker, coffee grinder, microwave, instapot, fan, watch TV, Blueray, radio, lights, charge cell phone, laptop, TWS earbuds, the list goes on and on.I have to tell you, one of the coolest tricks I did with the MAX, I got my coffee pot ready for morning, turned it on and plugged it into the MAX. There is a Bluetooth app, when my alarm woke me the next morning I opened the AC200MAX app on my phone, turned on the AC power and my coffee pot started brewing!!!!This unit can be charged using:1. Wall Charger2. Car Charger3. Solar Panels4. Battery, Gas Generators, etc...I will be able to charge all my electronics withe the power of the sun, I am so excited to have this, my second Bluetti Power Station!!Buy Bluetti, promote Bluetti, use Bluetti

A1 product and 1ST class service.

Seems ok

So far this unit does everything as promised. I have used it to run lots of stuff and not had an issue. Two issues are it's heavy to move and if you leave it on the standby power consumption is 1% an hour, which I thought was alot. Wifi would have been good but bluetooth works well.

I am moving abroad next summer and buying the Bluetti 200acmax has been on my plans for a while.I moved the purchase forward by 8-9months in case of winter power cuts in the UK.Currently, I have only 2 static 400w solar panels with it but I plan to expand further once I move abroad.I am a normal person (no real experience with doing this sort of thing) but it was extremely easy to setup using standard panels rather than the Bluetti portable ones given that I chose panels that came with Mc4 connectors; I needed full weatherproof panel and therefore the portable ones were not the best option here.The Bluetti is great and very easy to control via Bluetooth. I would have liked to have a wifi link to it but I believe this a feature only in the next model up.It does not come with the cable to charge from battery and had to buy it separately; it would have been nice to have a cable for all the possible charging options as default.It is not extremely heavy but would be useful to have some wheels to be easier to move about if needed.Currently, I am using the Bluetti's "free" solar energy to power quite a few things in the house and since I have had it my washing machine has been run solely on it in sunny days. I am using a combination of the AC sockets and DC ports simultaneously without any issues at all. The top row of AC sockets fit in a mirror image to the bottom ones so that the plug can be fully inserted...UK people will know what I am talking about right?!I am loving it and plan to expand the setup of the Bluetti with the add-on modules and more panels next summer when I am settled abroad.
