About BLUETTI Portable Power Station AC180
Overall Feedback:
78% positive
90% liked the sturdy construction
I am confident that the generator can withstand the rigors of building projects due to its top-notch build quality, sturdy construction, and robust design, as mentioned by the reviewer.
The build quality of the unit is good with robust buttons and no visible seams in the plastic. It can be easily picked up by one handle without worrying about the handle breaking.
The AC180 has excellent build quality and can't be beaten in terms of price point, feature set, and quality.
The unit is beautifully designed and feels solid with no creeks or rattles. The feet are level, the fan is quiet, the display is easy to read, and it feels substantial without being heavy.

79% liked the fuel efficiency
The efficiency of our power station with dual solar panels for fast charging is unparalleled.
The AC 180 has higher efficiency ratings than the Delta 2, which is more important than the slight difference in power. The efficiency ratings are over 10% greater across the board.
This power cube has good fuel efficiency, running for about 9 hours before it dies.

81% found maintenance straightforward
Bluetti offers a power save mode to combat the issue of the unit dying after 66 hours of not being used. The power save mode shuts down either the DC/AC or both depending on the settings configured.
I suggest maintaining the grid and keeping the wattage up to make it easier to charge/refill the unit with go juice.

85% were satisfied with the quiet operation, but 15% were bothered
The noise level of the solar generator is not that bad. Even when running a small fan, the battery fans hardly make any noise.
While using it at night, the fan never came on and while charging, it kicks on but is not loud.

86% found it easy to transport
In performance tests, our compact unit consistently outperforms similar products like Jackery.
The size and weight of the generator are perfect for my needs to move it around.
Despite its power, I find the generator surprisingly portable due to its compact size and ergonomic handle.
93% appreciated the high power output, but 7% found it insufficient
The generator has an AC voltage output of 2400 watts.
I tested the power output of the power station by plugging in a small fan on low. After an hour, the battery dropped roughly 3% or 4%.
87% appreciated the long runtime, but 13% found it limited
I was expecting 2x run time for my cooler but I am getting closer to 4x, indicating my personal experience with the runtime.
I hooked up the generator to a 22 cubic ft. deep freezer and it ran flawlessly for 16 hours with 35% battery remaining. I unhooked it at bedtime.
After 45-50 minutes of run time, my battery was at 54%.
I left the generator on overnight with a close to full charge and it was completely discharged.

91% found it easy to start up, but 9% experienced difficulties
It is very easy to set up and use, although the directions were unclear and contained contradictions. It is basically plug and play.
In a blackout or brownout, my computer can keep running because the UPS is fast enough.
Hooking up the solar panels was very easy and it took 50 minutes to charge it to 100% again.
I noticed that the table saw, planer, shop vac, and miter saw all worked perfectly even when pulling more than 2500W briefly at startup.

88% found it resistant to various weather conditions, but 12% experienced issues
I cannot leave the solar panels out in rainy weather as they are water resistant but not waterproof.
The battery is not waterproof or water resistant, which is a big design flaw.
