Great idea with the fridge test. You can extend that long obviously with solar option. Also if you were in a true blackout, and you couldn’t use solar… the fridge will last the first 4 hours without anything spoiling provided you don’t open it. So you technically can wait a bit to hook up the fridge, let it run for about an hour or so to get cold, then unplug it and repeat. That will allow you to extend that 6 hours significantly.

FWIW, I think there's a physics issue here that is overlooked. While it might help some (because the insides won't maintain the 40 degree temp desired (0 for freezer)), one could do the same thing by pushing the fridge temp setting up some. The reason I don't think it's going to help a lot is because when the fridge is turned back on it will be running the compressor constantly for a long time to try to bring the temp back down. In normal continuous powered operation, it's going to cycle on and off like a thermostat does with the AC in a house. So it's kinda already doing the on-off cycling. It's just maintaining the internal temperatures more constant if the Bluetti is left on. I wonder what average temperature is OK for food over a 12 hour or day-long period ?
@Knucklesmd

Plugging and unplugging won’t help it last longer. A fridge only runs periodically and takes power when the compressors on when it gets over the 40° or whatever you have it set at. If it’s uplugged for a time it’s gonna go way over when you plug it back in the fridge will run and draw power for an hour straight.

Bluetti EB3A and refrigerator Warning - consider all load scenarios when evaluating inverter capacity. I bought the EB3A to serve as a backup and UPS for our main full size refrigerator. I had some concern whether it could handle it since the fridge nameplate is 10A but the running load of the fridge is less than 300W and the startup is just a momentary surge. So I hooked it up and all was good until the first time we tried to get ice from the ice dispenser. To my surprise the ice dispenser runs over 600W which is the max rating of the EB3A inverter. So, it trips off on overload. After replicating the issue multiple times it is clear that the EB3A will not work for our fridge. This is unfortunate as any of the larger units come a noticeably higher cost. I’m sharing this as a warning to consider all load scenarios when evaluating the size needed for a battery unit. The unit seems to work fine for normal fridge operation but the ice dispenser is a needed daily function.

But still.. that's just wild, probably wouldn't have went much more than an hour but impressed!!. Realistically this is more about the ac since the eb3a but I didn't have any expectations of eb3a working for an 8000 btu ac at all , I have a pecron e2000 lfp for the ac unit and it will run it for about 7 hours give or take depending on factors that change, but nice to know the little eb3a could step in for a bit if needed, as I'm in Arizona and we need our ac units when power goes down

I wish Bluetti (and Jackery and others) would quote more info on the surge-power rating - specifically: how long will the EB3A put out it's rated surge power of 1200W? It's one thing to have a nice 2x factor for "surges" (the EB3A is a 600W unit), but without knowing how long you can expose the unit to that surge power level, the spec is not useful. Of course refrigerators only quote their run power (usually conservatively), so we don't know what their surge is or how long it lasts either :-( FWIW, I took my EB3A and hooked it to an 800Watt PTC heater and it cut out in less than a second. So the surge rating is not useful for anything 1 second or longer. Not Bluetti's fault - same with Jackery, etc. - which is why real-world fridge testing like you did is so valuable. Thanks for the video !

You misunderstood what surge means. It's for fridges and things like that - that normally run at a low wattage of say 200 watts or less, but when the compressor kicks in, it surges up to say 1000 watts or so, but only for a second.... you hope...lol. Some new eco friendly fridges might do better than older power hungry fridges. It's a hit and miss thing. But your heater doesn't work like a fridge does. You connected your EB3A to a 800 watt heater. It won't run that high.... not in normal mode. Maybe in power lifting mode it might run it but then the heater will only be putting out 600 watts of heat.... not 800. You see? I live in South Africa now and have to deal with this garbage all the time. It's my life now......hope this helps. Cheers!

I'd be interested to hear what you think about its pros and cons, versus the Delta Mini. I think I'd like having a smaller unit to power at least my modem upstairs, so I don't need to run a 100-ft extension cord down to the larger unit where it's powering the fridge. By the way, my Delta Max kept my older fridge and mini fridge going all night during an extended power outage last week, with 25% charge left to spare!

Even with our expensive electricity prices. The cost of a good bluetti panel is prohibitive. If I were to just charge my Bluetti EB70, It would take me around 820 recharge cycles to recoup the cost of the solar panel. Which will be 3-5 years depending on use case. I do understand though, there is definitely a use case for the solar panel if a AC wall power is not available e.g. outdoor camping.

You made a really great video. It was detailed without being boring and I hung on 'til the bitter end, but I was ultimately disappointed. The very thing that I was most interested in hearing your take on just got glossed over with no testing, whatsoever. That would be the Power Lift Mode. I have two of these units and they simply don't do what I was lead to understand they should do in Power Lift Mode (I'll refer to it as PLM going forward) I've seen less competent YT reviewers try the PLM with inductive loads and with resistive loads that exceed the 1200 watt maximum, but none that actually test the unit the way it should be tested. All of those reviewers have proudly pointed out that the PLM was working while, at the same time, displaying instrument readings that clearly show that much less than 600 watts was being delivered to the device. Maybe you could do a Part 2 and test that feature properly with a strictly resistive load (no fan or blower motors involved, as in a 1800 watt heat gun) that was no more than 1200 watts. My own tests, with both my units, running a 900 watt toaster, shows a power output to it that is closer to 250 watts than 600 watts. I got similar results with a drip coffee maker. Based on the actual instruments being displayed in those videos that I mentioned, nobody else is getting 600 watts in PLM either, they just didn't understand what they were seeing well enough to know that they weren't or they didn't understand how PLM was supposed to work. I look forward to your further testing, if you think it would be worthwhile.

Fantastic review! I think on cons, you'd have to add the buzzing sound from the fan. I think as far as suggestions, in addition to a setting for how long the screen stays on, a setting which would turn on the light automatically if disconnected from power, would be great for a power outage at night. Question: can you turn off the bluetooth? obviously it's handy, but it would be nice to have a way to turn it off when you don't need it. Overall, I'm very interested in getting this, and I don't consider any of the cons to be obstacles. I had hoped to find something exactly like this, but _ideally_ it would have a couple hundred more maximum watts of output rate, so it could do double-duty as a UPS for a _desktop_ work computer (one which draws 800+ watts under load). It's certainly not a requirement, I can get a separate UPS for computer. But it would have been nice if this killed 2 birds with one stone.

Thank you so much for making this video! I appreciate the way you used real devices in your examples because I'm not an electrician and I don't know a an amp from a watt. All I need is an estimate of "about" how long a power device can give me power during an outage. I won't be powering my fridge; I just won't open the door as often. If you plan on making future videos, I'd love to see one with a unit that charges the following while the public power is out: - One 30"-50" flat panel tv (perhaps a DVD player) - One laptop - One 75-100 watt lamp - One floor fan To be honest, when you started talking about the roku and routers and the blah, blah...I stopped paying attention because it didn't apply to me (and I don't think most will care about their security cameras during a power outage). BUT...during a power outage I do want to be entertained. The laptop is mandatory, the tv could be optional in a pinch, but during the summer I'll really need the fan. My internet has a built-in battery backup of it's own, so I won't power it. If you were to do another real world example of minimal devices, that would be great. OR, OR, or, you could do this. All electrical devices have a label that shows volts, watts and all that stuff. Tell me what to look at, and count up on these labels so I know what size watts or volts or amps I need to run the stuff in my house. That way "everybody" can see how much power they use. I know...I can't tell you what to do. I know, I could make my own video. Please allow me to be clear; I'm only suggesting. Your video is GREAT and I've got no complaints. All I'm saying is, if you're thinking about another video, I'm suggestion one for the average Joe. Some folks wanna know how long their CPAP machine will run, not everyone has a house and just want to keep a single room air conditioned, others need a tablet to run so their kid won't go bezerk (teach a Bro to fish, why don't cha). I will say this though; if you can spend $300 and keep your food from spoiling for 5-6 hours, that's pretty (explative) good, because short of a hurricane, six hours is plenty (for me). Second big thanks for reading this to the end. :D

I just ordered this generator. I'm elderly and had no idea what to order as well as a solar panel inexpensive 100 watt. Hope it works. I'm on SS so couldn't get an expensive one. This is the best in depth video I've seen. You explained things I haven't seen or surely wouldn't know. Such a great help for me. Our electricity went out a couple weeks ago and I was litterly pouring water over my head until I got a small 5000 window unit. My HVAC is out but I have no idea how many watts it uses. We're having a very hot summer here in Louisiana so far. I barely get out of in front of this little ac. K have COPD so it's very hard to breathe outside. But in the winter, I use a 100 watt electric throw. Thank you so much for showing us this in depth review. I did sub. 🙏

Great video and I’ve now subscribed, however you never mentioned that you need to turn on the DC to use usb! I recently bought this unit after having an Anker 521 due to its higher rated ac inverter so that can boil a small travel kettle in my campervan. However I have found the efficiency very poor when charging via USB and have been getting only 7 or 8 phone charges before the unit is depleted which is even less than the Anker which I thought was very poor compared to the claimed battery capacity. What are you thoughts on this?

The price that they're selling this unit at and what you're getting is actually pretty good but keep in mind getting a larger battery will always cost more. This unit obviously is an expandable like many small units you might want to look at a Delta 2, not only is it more powerful but you can also buy expansion batteries. The unit is bigger but not much bigger when you weigh out what you get for your money, right now it's $100 off definitely will cost you more money but you will get a whole lot more for your money here's the link take a look when you have time amzn.to/3glxwSG

These are not a true UPS, DO NOT plug power sensitive devices into this, buy an actual UPS. The "power off" test is not realistic. IF the power is truly off at your property, (outage in your area), the internet modem may or may not work and if it does, it will not work for long. The connection out in the street requires power also. Their UPS may or may not last very long, The one advantage the old phone system had over cell phones, they are powered elsewhere and usually stayed working. IF you are buying a battery backup system, of any kind, to stay online, you are most likely, you are wasting your money.

Hi Alfie thank you and I did notice it does get a little warm. Just make sure you check for any firmware updates on the app. They do end up fixing some things that maybe you’re not experiencing right now. Also, my recommendation try not to charge it past 90% and try not to let it drop below 10%. That’s just battery maintenance that’s all. Of course, if you need to use the full 100% you can, but don’t do that too often.

I've preached in Ukraine years ago.... in and around Kiev. I'm living in South Africa now where the power grid goes off everyday. We own an Ecoflow Delta 2. You want the Delta 2 because it has the better Phosphate battery. We might also buy a Bluetti. Both are of world class quality. The ecoflow may charge a bit faster but Bluetti has some cool features I like....such as the light, and phone charger on the top. I'm praying for you all and your country. I still have a former step son lving in Kiev with his grandmother. My American missionary friend who has a church there in Kiev....had to return to the states with his wife, until things get better.

i see your outlet is only 2 prong and you are using a cheater plug. better a cheater plug than breaking or cutting off the 3rd prong. i have seen many 3 prong cords where the 3rd prong went missing because people removed the 3rd prong. the ground prong is there for safety should an internal short happen it should cause a short that should cause the breaker to trip or fuse to blow. the cheater plug works by having a ground wire you can connect to the metal box of the outlet or the ground is internally connected to the neutral wire. the battery is in the bottom of the unit. there is a teardown video on youtube you can watch where they show the insides of the unit
