First look at the Bluetti AC240 portable power station 

So far, I love my 180 as well! It's such a difference from the little jackery I have and I can't believe how quickly it charges! I've yet to use the solar charger, however I have big plans over the next few months. It is smaller and more manageable than yours, but it's still big. However, I don't care as right now I'm still basking in the excitement of using my electric blanket all night😂. Let's compare notes at the end of this camping season! Vintage A-frame! I hope so!❤

I like that the ports are covered. What I don’t like is the lights. The mfg don’t take into account the units will be used inside a vehicle. They should give us a dimmer switch, I use blue tape over mine.

Wonderful addition! I have a thought to share, though, which is that I wouldn't want to be driving with that behind me if it wasn't strapped down for safety. If you have any kind of an accident, it will become a very dangerous airborne missile inside your 4Runner.

Having this power is never overkill. It's perfect for any type of camping or household. Love it! I have the AC200P 😊

Great video. I have the AC180. It was malfunctioning right out of the box. Customer service was horrific. Basically useless until I made a comment in a RU-vid video and the guy (who was sponsored by Bluetti) reached out to his contact for me and they finally got in touch with me. Extremely kind of him but one shouldn’t have to do that to get problems addressed. The 180 a small and compact size but it dies extremely quickly. if I were to do it all over again I would go with one like the 240. Yes it’s bigger and heavier, but it has plenty of power. My recommendation is to anyone that wants to power a fridge for more than 12 hours, whatever you do, do not buy the 180. The 240 looks like a really nice unit. I hope you enjoy it !!

First off you need stickers of you holding the saw!😂 My guess is A frame rehab or tear drop trailer!

Happy for your new power station, but let's talk about that fridge..did I miss a video? 🤔

That is differently a game changer. Enjoy!

AWESOME ADDITION TO YOUR CAMP GEAR!!!

Thank you for reviewing this power station. I ended up with the Bluetti AC 180, because the weight was the most my tired old verticality challenged body can easily handle to carry and move it. It has not disappointed me. I am looking at getting a bigger unit for homebase backup power though... Thank you again for all your videos. Safe travels.

Looks like you have a new fridge and a different sleeping pad set up. Can you share some details on those? That Bluetti is a monster but I’m sure it’s useful!

Very cool! I would think that with the expandable batteries, you could just get one of those to run your fridge in the 4 Runner to have the option of where to put a fridge yet be able to run other DC and AC appliances with it in various locations. They charge independently even with solar. Plus one expansion battery can have a larger capacity than 1500+ WH. They don’t have a screen to view but you can see input and output data through the Bluetti app. Ok I didn’t address a solution for the “elephant” weight and size, but hey, it’s just so amazing being water and dust resistant! 😃

Thanks for the review…and that “Vintage 1970’s A-Frame cabin in need of a rehab somewhere in the mountains” was oddly specific. 😂😂😂 I can’t wait to find out!

I do love my current 800w Bluetti. I've had it for 2 years without issue. I just got the spring deal on the AC180. I now have 2600w total and can get more with the extra betteries if i ever need them. This new one was too big for my space (im also im a 4 runner) and was way more expensive.

Loving my Bluetti AC180 so far, but that one looks like it’d be a pretty good upgrade, for increased power and especially for the IP rating. I’ve already lost count of how many times the dogs have flung water over mine after taking a drink in the van. 😂

I see a new bed set up over your Bodega slide out fridge. Is your bed resting on the fridge now? I guess I missed some videos where you changed all that. That Bluetti is a beast

I've sort of been on the fence about Bluetti...I've seen some good reviews and I've heard some customer service nightmares. I like your honesty and excited to see how your unit works with the test of time. P.S. NICE FRIDGE!!!! Love how it opens!

If you get an adaptor. You can also charge this up at car EV staions via the 12v-30amp. This is great with there is no sun for the solar panels.

Looks like it makes a nice table, too.

Suggestion : USE it for a FULL YEAR, .... Then do a review ...... Because, as with MANY of these "power Stations", things "fail" (like as with your previous one....) !! A year of CONSTANT use for most of us, will be an actual TEST to it's hefty price tag .......... "thanks" 😉

Bought the EB3A last Spring. It provides enough power for phone charging, electric kettle and charging my Ryobi batteries (fans for the summer). Tiny compared to the AC240, but is great. Plan on getting the AC180 for longer trips and the house. I let mine run all the way down before recharging. Use it to recharge items after a trip, then recharge the Bluetti. That said, did you see their fridge? Battery operated fridge that last 4-6 days before needing a charge. They released 100 earlier this year. Hoping there will be another release once any issues from 1st release are addressed.

Wow…that bluetti is a beast. I like the bodega cooler too (:

That's quite an upgrade from the Ecoflow. Is the Ecoflow still under warranty? I've been using my River Pro for about 3 years without issue. After seeing the section of video of "movie night" I wonder if those lights on the Buuetti time out or can you turn them off? I can't imagine trying to sleep with them on. Also, What fridge do you have with the sliding drawer? Me likey! I thought I was all up to date on your videos but I must have missed this one. I'm looking forward to seeing what is in store for the Buletti.

❤

The outlet covers are awesome. And the lightning fast charging is a game changer for sure. Do you know how that compares to the Ecoflow, as far as charging speed? I am looking to upgrade my Jackie’s.

Can you please do a Daiso camping gear review? They have the aluminum mess tin with the steamer insert (sold separately). 😉

Subbie here. With these power stations, is it best to allow them to completely drain down before recharging? I've heard that it's best for lithium ion batteries. Currently, I have a Jackery. Thank you.

Looks like a great solar generator, powerful, quick to charge…etc….now about your fridge, what brand and model is that? I am looking for a pull-out cabinet door similar to that…thanks!

Do you have a list of your equipment somewhere? Maybe an Amazon store? I'd love to support you by buying through an affiliate link.

How much does that weigh?

okay good review but never mind the Bluetti, what's that weird toddler toilet looking thing on your picnic table?

Any chance you hail from a New England city...caught "wicked" more than once...that would be wicked pissa!!

It looks heavy
