We have used the ruclips.net/user/postUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!
*Great **Generater.Systems** . Pretty quiet compared to other in this size. Runs my AC in our camper, but have to take generator off of economy mode to do so!! Great buy. Would recommend!!! Champion 2500*
You helped me get into backpacking. I didn’t have need to watch this video until now. I’m remembering just how much I loved all that you shared. I hope that you’ve been well.
You sir are a gem. Thank you for this review. Very informative for deciding and recognizing the parameters of solar generators. You have a lot of info that I never would’ve thought of.
You can cross off one con as the AC200P will be expandable. I really enjoy seeing these power stations being used in actual field applications. Great job sir.
@@abeplosaj3162 You can buy the Bluetti B230 battery and plug it into the AC200P and gain an additional 2048 watt hours of energy storage capacity. (I know you asked your question 8 months ago but thought this might help)
@@thouston53 The AC200P is also expandable using the Bluetti B230 battery which when plugged into the AC200P gives an additional 2048 watt hours capacity. This is why I just ordered mine.
I have an AC200P and I bought it for the Lithium Ion Phosphate batteries. I think that you nailed it on the pros and cons. My use was mainly for our house in short power outages. I would still recommend it.
Thanx for this. As a new full time vanlifer, I've been struggling to make a decision on Jackery vs bluetti vs permanent panels on the roof.I appreciate your honest opinion. Oh and hey Bluetti, I'm going to do a review on the Jackery. You know, in case you want to send me your product to review first.. 😉😆
Tons of great info on this review! I've watched quite a few of Will Prowse's videos where he builds systems himself, but this all-in-one approach is very tempting.
I got a Bluetti as my beginner system because they are so easy to resell once I learn what my optimal setup will be. If I built a system now without knowing much it might be difficult to sell later when I upgrade.
I'm happy with my jackery 1000 powering my truck camper, however it will be cool in the next few years to see how tech evolves & will probably have some crazy solar generators that charge in under 1 hour...interesting vids, keep it up man ~
I like how that bluetti has removable covers to keep dust, dirt, moisture out of the outlets. I put in some cheap ones from the dollar store for the jackery
So happy I came across this video. I was so confused & overwhelmed trying to chose a unit. So many options and so many doubts! 😫 but you explained it so simple,clear and concise! Great video!! Thank you!!
Thanks for the video. I still have reservations...Their warranty should be much longer and there are way too many stories about them not honoring the warranty they do have. I can't afford to spend thousands to end up with a bricked unit with no way to get it serviced. These companies have to develop excellent customer service so there is no doubt in people's minds. Right now there is massive demand and they're selling stuff faster than they can make it, and that's a recipe for disaster.
60 pounds who can’t lift 60 pounds I have this and it’s not that heavy. But then again I’m use to rucking around Iraq and Afghanistan with an 80 pound Rick sack on my back. This generation is soft. Get a dolly
@@TheSeano1988 Well... Sean... I weigh 125 lbs... that is half my weight!! How tall are you? How much do you weigh? That was a silly question: Who can't lift 60 lbs OHHHH and by the way I'm 67 years old... BUT.... YES I can lift it (may never be the same after I do) So next time THINK before you insult (me) or other people who can't lift 60 lbs. Thank you for your service. God Bless YOU.
The new Inergy brand power stations do have the ability to daisy chain many extra batteries as well as a lot of other pros you may like after listening to your review. Good thorough review.
The Bluetti AC 200 MAX & add on unit B230 are available for preorder 7-20-2021. Check out the Bluetti YT channel or HoboTech for all the juicy info. I'm hyped about the 30 amp camper connection & 2 add-on units, which has their own outlets.
Just an added note on a good vid, the DC will drain the battery faster then the AB inverter, because of the higher drain from being able to power the 25 amp plug in.
Excellent review…i just bought the latest version of this and you can add a battery expansion module to increase capacity…i also plan to add a small luggage cart to move it around the apartment. We need back up for hurricanes and other power outages…
It is not true 2000 but 1650w. And in dc 12v the ac200p last less than the jackery 1000. The jackery fits better in the small car, and is much much more lightweight 22lbs vs 60lbs for the bluetti. The screen is unreadable on the bluetti in the daylight and there are no physical buttons to switch on/off so if the screen fails you will be out of luck. For small camping the jackery runs a fridge dometic for nearly 5 days. The bluetti don’t. I never went below 74% with the jackery and can charge to 100% in few hours. I prefer the combo jackery with propane kitchen, it is more efficient and lightweight and smaller. The bluetti ac200p is not an option for me. I had two camping trip and the jackery 1000 was above expectations. And because i never goes under 20% the number of charge cycle is much much more than 500 cycle, probably 1500, and i don’t use the jackery except during summer time. The jackery will last 10 years i bet. You also don’t need to break your back to transport it. When tou have already a fridge 45l, you understand what i mean. I was able to keep the jackery and fridge always in the car during camping. I put some reflective panel on them, it helps a lot.
Two jackery give you 2x935w effective when bluuetti is 1650w. Also with two jackery you can charge one in the background with panels or car inverter and use the second one. For camping the jackery is better. If you use only 12v device the Jackery is more effective.
AC300 coming out soon. It's like taking the AC200P and cutting it in half with the battery separate. Battery size goes to 3000 and can use four of them. Can hook two AC300s together and make 240 volts with up to 24kwh of batteries. Can use one 2 or 3kwh battery with the AC200P. Also new is the AC200Max which is a more expandable version of the AC200P (up to 6kwh of batteries).
Impressive review …. Why? Not one “ya know” throughout the whole scenario … you have a choice of why … 1: great editing (which is a talent within itself or 2: you’re a self assured young man who knows his stuff without hesitation … either way, very well done … you deserve a subscribe …. Have fun out there!. .
Excellent video. You gave a lot of real world info and I appreciate that. I just ordered one of these a few days ago. One point though, it is expandable as you can buy the Bluetti B230 battery which you can plug into the AC200P and it will give you another 2048 Watt Hours of energy capacity. I do not anticipate needing that in my van but it is one of the reasons I went with the AC200P as I can increase capacity if I ever need to in the future. That may not have been available when you made this video. Safe Travels.
@@coalminersdaughter WOW!!!! That is impressive! Thank you so much... The Renogy Solar Panels... is that a "Fixed" outside all the time, made of Glass Panels? In other words you don't have to move 7 panels all the time... Right?
@@judichristopher4604 they are very manageable-not too heavy so you can move them or leave them fixed somewhere. We take a couple camping sometimes. This gen + max amt of panels really can support a tiny house.
Wow so much to love about this power station, great review Joe! Lol was Tara's voice used in the voice overs? I would love to see Jackery send you their 1500W unit for review to see how it stacks up. Can't wait to see the tiny home build. take care of yourselves. all the best.
Haha, that was my voice but I added the "monster" filter to it 😂 I should have recruited Tara though. Yeah, I'd love to test the new Jackery Power Stations. I'm going to reach back out to them.
They should have kept physical buttons redundancy if it fails but it looks like a really good system to expensive for my blood tho lol ac50s and jackery 240 is good for me for now
Nice to see some one who had real review. We did a review with our AC200/1700watt, (Indiegogo #1729) Jackery 500 and 160 on our channel with real world use in our truck camper. Dead on with the cons. Not sure if the AC200P had the power loss fixed on AC side. Laughed at the bright lights comment couldn't agree more on that topic. Yes we too found it sad when sp many YT channels got free products and did the most un realistic testing like running a garage. Sad really. So nice to see a informative video. BUT Wait you didn't run your Air Conditioner.....🤣 ~Mark & Teresa
You're weird, through, and honest,. I loved your presentation and it was very helpful. Keep up the good work, I subscribed. Thanks again for all you points.
I ordered a Bluetti AC200P with 3 solar panels in mid June 2021. (It needs 3 solar panels to charge). Bluetti sent the AC200P and ONE solar panel. I have been struggling to contact them since. Their email is very difficult to even try. I have sent them multiple emails and finally got a response, but they sent a tracking number from one of the previous items they sent me. I have yet to receive the full order I paid for, and I cannot charge the unit via solar without the missing two solar panels. I have no evidence that they intend to make this screw up right.
I put a slender piece of velcro on the top and bottom of the touch screen and also on a small square of that craft foam. I can remove it easily and protect the screen if I happen to have it in sunlight/ and not have bright light at night. (it would suck to try to operate without the screen)
Very informative thank you for posting you thoughts. I spoke to a Bluette representative today regarding diesel heaters. He said there are diesel heaters out there that are not compatible with Bluette. Would you mind responding with your make and model of you diesel heater please. Well, my heater will run on gas, not diesel, so hopefully yours runs on gas too. Thank you again.
Greetings from germany. I use the ac200p to charge my renault twizy every day , still works fine. The 720watt solar is overpaneled have 3x3 250 watt trina solar panels on the unit, works fine. what you forgot to say is the tempsensor of the bms if the unit is in the cold,it wont charge until you heat the unit up with a heatblanket.
Thanks! I think that'd be a perfect application for this. It's more stable & safe, has the added power capacity, and I think its inverter could handle most garage tasks easily. Throw some solar on the roof and you'd likely have all the power you need.
No lithium battery should be charged below freezing. It's a great way to damage your cells and reduce your output. There are some specifically crafted LiFePO4 batteries that can handle cold weather charging but they are not found in any commercial power stations.
It’s A bit more expensive BUT, it works way better. And like all of them it’s also removeable. Meaning when you do sell your rig or move to another one, you take it with you.
Excellent. Information that people should know about. It is a definite drawback that wasn't mentioned in the video. LIFePO4 cells not only don't like to be charged in cold weather, they CAN'T be charged @24ºF or less.
I would like to prepare as well as others but pricing could be an issue. It would be a great help if you would ad the price for the unit as well as what it can do. If you did mention price then I apologize as I didn't here it.
Just picked one up, thanks for the review. I'm planning to use this in my travel nursing, emergency backup, and eventually any off grid cabin down the road
They might not have been out yet on your test but you can get i think up to 3 xtra batts n their kinda neat in that they have thei own power switch and can be used on their own for 12 volt things but you need the other for ac, inverter etc.
Have no car at all, so not really something for me. But the website of Bluetti is hilarious, even if you have no intention whatsoever to buy such a monster.
If you need to cook outside just use an extension cord ! Ii just purchased the upgraded 200 MAX, it's amazing, Love the new ability to add more batteries if needed. SO happy to have seen your review and learn how different the battery is compared to the Jackery, Big thanks , yes you are correct about the input positions on the side. Using it for a truck camper 12v fridge and 12v mini heaters for winter camping.
Just put my sites on solar polar few weeks ago. I’ve watched several reviews on Jackery, patriot, Titan, several others and now this product. Lots of choices. Have you reviewed Titan product by chance? This video was very informative and you really seem to be on your game regarding this stuff. I now feel I’m looking at Bluetti and Titan.
it makes not much sense to build your tiny home around the Bluetti, when you already point out that one of its biggest drawbacks is the lack of dependability. And 2000W will not do it in a tiny home!
I just got my Bluetti AC200P on Aug. 31st. It is not reading wattage correctly amoung other things. Max Oak has just been giving me the run around. They keep having me make videos of the issues. Sometimes it will not show that there is any wattage being dispersed and when it does show wattage when I use more wattage it says that I am using less. I was very excited about getting one of these and when I seen that it was messed up I just thought " no big deal, they will just have to replace it." WRONG!!! They are not being cool about this at all.
Hello can you help me out? I bought the bluetti AC 200. I have a 300 watt solar panels from dokio. The connectors can’t join . What connector can I use to still use the dokio panels

I use this power station and love it so much. I use mostly DC, but it no longer goes to 100% it now goes up to 99% not sure why
Very well done..thank you so much
Nice review! We're thinking of this model for an off grid garage.
Thanks! I think that'd be a perfect application for this. It's more stable & safe, has the added power capacity, and I think its inverter could handle most garage tasks easily. Throw some solar on the roof and you'd likely have all the power you need.
JUst know those batteries CAN NOT be charge when their temperature drops to 24ºF or less. They can continue to be discharged, but NOT CHARGED.
No lithium battery should be charged below freezing. It's a great way to damage your cells and reduce your output. There are some specifically crafted LiFePO4 batteries that can handle cold weather charging but they are not found in any commercial power stations.
It’s A bit more expensive BUT, it works way better. And like all of them it’s also removeable. Meaning when you do sell your rig or move to another one, you take it with you.
Excellent review! Thinking about getting one.
And them Bluetti came out with the AC-300---which I bought ----now they are coming out with the AC-500 and if I had $10 K I would buy it.
Good review. Another Con - LiFePO4 doesn't like to be charged in cold weather (< 0c).
Ahh, I didn't know that. Good to know!
Excellent. Information that people should know about. It is a definite drawback that wasn't mentioned in the video. LIFePO4 cells not only don't like to be charged in cold weather, they CAN'T be charged @24ºF or less.
Looks nicer than the Jackery.
enjoyed. thanks
I would like to prepare as well as others but pricing could be an issue. It would be a great help if you would ad the price for the unit as well as what it can do. If you did mention price then I apologize as I didn't here it.

"Thank you" for all your great work you do (being a Nurse).
Great review. Thank you for sharing. Mary💕Fred
I just watched a video today where the guy attached a 230b, think that's what is was, to his 200 Bluette
They might not have been out yet on your test but you can get i think up to 3 xtra batts n their kinda neat in that they have thei own power switch and can be used on their own for 12 volt things but you need the other for ac, inverter etc.
Bro they gave you so much. You don’t even have that many subs hahaha you’re awesome
Add one more sub, FROM ME!
Solid review.
Have no car at all, so not really something for me. But the website of Bluetti is hilarious, even if you have no intention whatsoever to buy such a monster.
Their site shows you able to expand to b230 or b300 batteries , not cheap and requires more adapters .
Great Review!!!
You can expand the ac200p with another battery
Bluetti is expandable. Idk if they were a year ago but they are now...
If you need to cook outside just use an extension cord ! Ii just purchased the upgraded 200 MAX, it's amazing, Love the new ability to add more batteries if needed. SO happy to have seen your review and learn how different the battery is compared to the Jackery, Big thanks , yes you are correct about the input positions on the side. Using it for a truck camper 12v fridge and 12v mini heaters for winter camping.
Fantastic review, and spot on about the battery chem advantages, thank you. Looks like you own a Tesla Model 3 too… am I right?
Ty sir
I arm curl 60 pound dumbbells. Not the same as bent over trying to get it out of a tight storage space.
Great review,👍 but yes that's not a real 👉con, bright at night? 😂 Some ppl want a night light 🚨
The display is too bright during the night and too dim during the day. Gotcha.
You could be the first to thru hike the AT with this. Just sayin'.
😂 Trail name “Powerpack”
is it still ok to recharge even if battery is not completely discharged? does that hurt the battery to charge when not fully empty?
Yup, definitely ok. New battery technology has no problems with recharging at any capacity. It won't damage the battery or it's longevity.
Just put my sites on solar polar few weeks ago. I’ve watched several reviews on Jackery, patriot, Titan, several others and now this product. Lots of choices. Have you reviewed Titan product by chance? This video was very informative and you really seem to be on your game regarding this stuff. I now feel I’m looking at Bluetti and Titan.
I haven't had the chance to use any Titan products yet. Haven't even seen them anywhere. Thanks!
Thanks for the teply
No..Titan doesn't give free units to reviewers. You have to buy it to review it.
Great review. I have the same one. Sorry I brought it before seeing your review 🙁
it makes not much sense to build your tiny home around the Bluetti, when you already point out that one of its biggest drawbacks is the lack of dependability. And 2000W will not do it in a tiny home!
Nice job
Any adapters available for the 25a output to a different connector like twist lock or rv?
Wish l waited to research more. These are #1 eco flow #2..... I'm stuck with #2.....
How could you miss the huge issue of the constant power drain when on. Did you really use it???? The cost is a con too.
It has an Eco mode
One thing about it though. You’re in a small truck camper… where are you going to put all these solar panels?
I just got my Bluetti AC200P on Aug. 31st. It is not reading wattage correctly amoung other things. Max Oak has just been giving me the run around. They keep having me make videos of the issues. Sometimes it will not show that there is any wattage being dispersed and when it does show wattage when I use more wattage it says that I am using less. I was very excited about getting one of these and when I seen that it was messed up I just thought " no big deal, they will just have to replace it."
WRONG!!! They are not being cool about this at all.
Bluetti does have an external battery pack you can connect
They just announced the AC 300. And a APEX in the end of the year I'm guessing a 400.
Okay I will ask the question everyone is thinking. On full charge. If I was to plug a 50inch tv into it. How long will the battery last?
Hello can you help me out? I bought the bluetti AC 200. I have a 300 watt solar panels from dokio. The connectors can’t join . What connector can I use to still use the dokio panels
