Bluetti FridgePower: The Slim Power Station That Keeps Your Food Fresh

### Key Features - **Price:** $1,650 (converted from £1299) - **A slim power station for fridges** – This power station is designed to keep your fridge running through a power outage. It stores enough power to last a modern fridge/freezer around a day, and it can even handle some other more power-hungry kitchen devices. - **Quite specialised** – The FridgePower has only two mains output sockets, with no USB or DC outputs for charging phones, so it’s not really built as a general-purpose power supply. ### Introduction If you live out in the sticks, or you’re often on the road in a camper van, you might be familiar with the problem of keeping a fridge running when you’re away from a reliable source of power. The Bluetti FridgePower aims to provide an answer: it’s a slimline battery power station for fridges, designed to slip in alongside them or sit unobtrusively on top. Its narrow section is deceptive, as Bluetti has squeezed in enough batteries to store just over two kilowatt hours (kWh) of power. In theory that’s enough to last a modern fridge freezer for over a day of running; perfect for riding out even a significant power cut. And if you live in an area that frequently sees multi-day outages, you can even add up to three expansion batteries, potentially keeping the milk fresh and your peas frozen for a week or more. While most of today’s fridges top out at only 200-300W of consumption – and typically use quite a bit less – the FridgePower can deliver up to 1,800W. That means you could use it to backup a couple of coolers and perhaps even a microwave or two-slot toaster, but it doesn’t have the grunt for very powerful appliances such as a kettle or oven. We wanted to put this specialised power station through our usual tests, and more. ### Design and features As you might expect, this power station’s 2kWh of batteries make it rather heavy – almost 44 pounds in fact – but it comes with a screw-on handle if you do need to cart it around. There’s also a sturdy wall mount if you want to keep it off the floor or counter top. The other recommended orientation is to place the Bluetti FridgePower on top of the fridge – that’s how I positioned it, but I’d advise taking great care when lifting it into place or back down again. This isn’t built as a general-purpose battery power station, so its ports and inputs are comparatively limited. Around the back you’ll find a standard mains power input and an XC60 connector for DC sources including solar panels. There are also just two mains output sockets on the front, which limits what you can plug in simultaneously. ### Performance We tested the FridgePower with a typical fridge freezer and found it kept it running for just over 24 hours. That’s impressive for such a slim unit. It also handled a microwave and a toaster without breaking a sweat, although we wouldn’t recommend running both at the same time. ### Conclusion The Bluetti FridgePower is a niche product, but for those who need it, it’s a lifesaver. It’s not cheap, but it’s well-built and does exactly what it says on the tin. If you’re looking for a general-purpose power station, look elsewhere. But if you want to keep your fridge running during a power outage, this is one of the best options out there.
