Power Lift: When this feature is activated, it generates power at up to twice the rated wattage of the inverter. It does so by dropping the voltage to allow more amps. This process allows you to run resistive appliances up to an impressive 2,000 watts without overheating. This means products that require a high resistive load like coffee makers, hot plates and certain kettles can run using Power Lift mode.
Pass Through Charging allows the Bluetti AC70 generator to charge through the 200W solar panel while powering devices or appliances. This extends run times for uninterrupted.
Multiple Ways to Charge: This generator can be charged using: 200W Solar panel ( approximately 2-6 hours, depending on sun availability), AC (approximately 45 minutes) or Car Charging (7 - 9 hours)
Portability: At a size of 22.5lbs and total dimensions of 12.4in × 8.2in × 10.1" the Bluetti AC70 solar generator can be easily transported. The 200W solar panel has a folded size of 23.0 × 23.9 × 1.7 inches and weighs only 17.2 lbs. This makes traveling with this solar power station ideal for outdoor camping trips, RV's. and emergency backup.

Advantages of this Product:

Portability

At 22.5lbs, the weight of the Bluetti AC70 Generator is modestly more than some comparable models. That said, its size is still quite compact and portable. The AC70 generator and foldable 2,00W solar panel combo can be transported with relative ease.

Extra Power When Needed

Once activated, the Power Lift function elevates total AC output of the Bluetti AC70 to an impressive 2,000W of energy. This is powerful enough to temporarily run some larger appliances without overheating. The Pass Through feature creates the ability to simultaneously charge the generator while powering devices and appliances. This feature can prolong the run duration by several days.

Durable Construction

Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries are known for their stability and safety. The particular battery used in the Bluetti AC70 is built to withstand up to 3,000 charges. This translates into approximately 10 years of average usage. The battery is encased within a rugged, durable casing for added longevity.

Disadvantages of this Product:

Higher Price Point

The Bluetti AC70 Solar Generator has a higher price point compared to some portable power stations on the market. While a case can be made that this model provides greater energy efficiency, it may not fit everyone's budget.

Limited Run Time for High Energy Using Appliances

Even with Pass Through Charging engaged, run duration is still fairly limited when powering most appliances. Added to this concern is not all appliances are suitable for usage.

Potential Lift feature Concerns

Bulette's Power Lift feature offers a significant power enhancement. But, reports indicate damage to certain appliances has accrued while in this mode. Using generators that reduce amps while increasing volts can have a negative impact on appliances that do not rely solely on pure resistive loads. This Includes appliances like refrigerators, air conditioners and washing machines. To summarize, appliances with non resistive loads should not be powered by this generator unless their power requirements fall below 1,000 watts.

Conclusion:

The Bluetti AC70 solar power station offers reliable, portable power best suited for outdoor camping, long road trips or home emergency backup situations. To be clear, there are less expensive alternatives available that may also be viable options for these purposes. That said, the AC70 provides a more powerful inverter and larger battery than lesser priced solar generators. This translates into the ability to run many appliances you would not otherwise be able to power with lower priced generators. Bluetti trimmed down some unnecessary features in favor of more power and performance. Considering all this model delivers, It is very competitively priced when compared to similar competitor models. If you are looking for that little bit extra without spending a crazy amount of money, the Bluetti AC70 might be for you!
