“I was told to mention it could power my saw… it cannot power my saw” 😆🤣

I have an AC200P in my 2010 transit connect and 2 Windy Nation 100w solar panels on the roof wired in series. The AC200P easily powers my 1650 watt coffee bean roaster. My fridge is a Dometic CC40 and I have a MaxxFan on the roof. Prior to getting the Bluetti I had a Jackery 1000 and it served me well.

Bluetti AC200P has been perfect in my converted camper van for 9 months. I would recommend people buy one because it's easy. I have 800 watts of solar connected in series on my van plugged in the AC200P. It runs my Maxxair fan, fridge, induction cooktop, blow dryer, etc. It's perfect for vanlife.

Awesome! I have this too but how did you fit 800 watts of solar panels on your van???

Thank you Josh. Nice to hear an honest appraisal. Things are changing so fast in this market. I don’t need a power station now, but it will be interesting to see what’s out there in the near future. Someone will come up with the perfect unit for me. 👍😎

Thanks! I agree, I think portable power stations will keep getting more and more popular and accessible (I hope)!

I move mine around in my house and actually pulled a muscle in my back. So I bought a 12 x 18 furniture mover from Harbor Freight. For the little I need to move it, this was a good solution.

Thank you for being so honest, that really opened my eyes as to which direction to go! ❤️

Great presentation, IMO this should set as an example of how they're all done.

Appreciate it!

I think this is the best review I have ever watched on KZread. You discussed the good and the bad.

Thank you for the honest review! It would work for some people that want a kind of plug and play. I think most people planning a van build would rather go with a person knowledgeable in solar design and installation. The ability to consult with a pro and relay the kind of desired performance of said electrical system is invaluable!!!

A truly honest review. I appreciate that.

I really appreciate this kind of review: careful, clear, balanced and honest. BTW, this weighs 60 lbs. (Yep, that's heavy!) That information wasn't on the Bluetti web page. Now I'm going to watch your review of Jackery's power station...

My bluetti EB70S performs very well. I love their products.

Really Great review. I purchased two flooded RV 100AH batteries so I can run small electric heaters during winter. I am not sure if I would have been better off buying a power center. I understand you cannot operate lithium batteries below 32F degrees. I often end up in cold locations so it does seem my old fashioned Flooded RV cheap batteries are my best choice.

Thank you for the great information!

Thanks for your honest review.

Josh, I don't know you from Adam, but I have been following your work for a while. When it comes to ethics you seem to have them in spades. It is so refreshing to hear an honest review that I think I could rely on to help with a decision on equipment. Thanks Josh

Thank you! Glad to hear it was helpful

I don't like this AC200P one bit. I always work and do projects in broad daylight and it is really difficult to see the LCD display at times.

Good review

I am afraid the AC200P is not right for me. It charges slow and is really quite bulky and heavy compared to the others.

I'm really torn over the issue of a power station. I have NO experience in wiring a battery / solar system, so the Bluetti seemed like the next best thing for my small camper build. However, I've heard a alot of mixed reviews and so I'm hesitant to spring for such a high dollar power station that "might" prove to be a mistake! 🤔

What Lori said. Will demonstrates building your own as well. Love both channels!

Good job

$1600 for that pos. Lol, 100ah deep cycle at Walmart is $60. Its lead acid, but just grab an inverter and a battery box.. lol. Much love from over here though. Your builds are tight and clean. 💪

OMG How dare you say such a word! ! ! The product is very nice! ! !

Just think if every review was honest as this....any company listening this the guy to review your product!!...if its good he will tell you

Portable, at 60 pounds I don't think so, I would stay away from it. Thanks for that info. If we don't get honest opinion from a person like you, then why bother buying it.
