One of the significant inconveniences when the power goes out is the worry about food ruining in the refrigerator. A storm that causes a power outage often seems to happen just after a major fridge and freezer restock. In the past, we would transfer items from the fridge to a cooler, but portable power stations have rendered that unnecessary. Bluetti, a frontrunner in the portable power sector, has streamlined the process even more.

The Bluetti FridgePower is the newest portable station from the brand, specifically aimed at keeping the refrigerator and freezer operational during power interruptions. Unlike most portable power stations that have a rectangular form, Bluetti has designed the FridgePower to be slender enough to rest on top of your fridge. It stands at less than three inches high and includes anti-slip silicone feet for enhanced stability.

Bluetti’s analysis shows that the FridgePower’s 2,016Wh battery can sustain a refrigerator for almost 22 hours, assuming the unit uses around 2,000Wh each day. Instead of fretting over food spoilage during an outage or hurriedly retrieving milk from the fridge, you will have the peace of mind that your fridge will stay powered for nearly a full day.

Bluetti FridgePower specifications:
– Capacity: 2,016Wh
– Battery type: LiFePO4
– Continuous output: 1,800W
– Surge power: 3,600W
– UPS: under 10 milliseconds
– Weight: 43 pounds
– Dimensions: 22.83 in. × 13.78 in. × 2.95 in.
– Warranty: 5 years

Adaptable design and extensive expansion capability:
Besides placing the FridgePower directly on your fridge or in an upper cabinet, you can also mount it vertically on a nearby wall. The FridgePower features integrated wall mounting brackets and includes a mounting kit, making it easy to install on a wall next to the fridge in the kitchen or in the garage to power an additional fridge or chest freezer.

If the 2,016Wh capacity does not meet your needs, you can connect up to three BlueCell 200 expansion batteries for a total of 8,064Wh. Each BlueCell 200 matches the FridgePower’s dimensions perfectly for stacking.

Advantages of a dedicated fridge backup:
I’ve tried various power stations, and one of the most beneficial uses is powering the fridge. This not only halts food from spoiling but is vital for homes with medical supplies that must be kept cool. Most power stations I’ve encountered can keep a refrigerator running for different periods, but integrating the Bluetti FridgePower into your home enhances convenience.

When my house experienced a power outage for nearly 24 hours in December, I connected the refrigerator to a 2,000Wh power station and left it on the kitchen floor. However, when I needed to charge my phone using the portable power station, I was confined to the kitchen floor since it was operating the fridge. The Bluetti FridgePower, acting as a dedicated fridge backup, allows you to use any other portable power station around your home for lights, your WiFi router, and phone recharging.

Abundant recharging options:
Using standard AC wall charging, the Bluetti FridgePower charges from 0 to 80% in approximately one hour and takes about 105 minutes to fully charge. With a 1,000W solar panel, it requires a little over 120 minutes to achieve full power. Bluetti also plans to introduce the Alternator Charger 2 soon, which will enable you to recharge the FridgePower using your car’s alternator.

How to pre-order the Bluetti FridgePower:
Bluetti is launching the FridgePower on Kickstarter with significant pre-order discounts. From April 16 to May 31, early orders can save at least 42%. Bluetti anticipates shipments to commence in early June, just in time for summer storms and hurricane season.

Bluetti FridgePower preorder specifics:
– Starter bundle: Bluetti FridgePower for $759 (save $540)
– Plus Bundle: Bluetti FridgePower + BlueCell 200 for $1,398 (save $1,100)
– Pro Bundle: Bluetti FridgePower + two BlueCell 200 for $2,097 (save $1,600)
– Max Bundle: Bluetti FridgePower + three BlueCell 200 for $2,699 (save $2,197)

Bluetti notes that these promotional prices are super early bird offers. Once they sell out, prices will transition to standard early bird pricing. These will still be favorable deals, just not as enticing as the super early bird offers. For instance, a standalone FridgePower will go from super early bird $759 to early bird $819.

If you reside in an area susceptible to power outages and food spoilage is a significant issue, the Bluetti FridgePower might be the ideal backup solution.
