What do I buy

[R8N XX]

Help needed to decide of what to purchase.

I want a power pack.

Jackery explorer 1000v2 with solar panel
Or Bluetti AC180.

I have a combo with a bed in there. Really want it just to run a fridge. Charge phones and hair drier etc. I’m bald so the hair drier is not for me lol.

Nothing more than that really.
What’s ya thoughts from those that have one.

I just recently purchased the Bluetti Elite 100 V2. Very similar to the ac180, but was cheaper. It's smaller, lighter and pretty much the same power. Unfortunately I can't really give any comparisons of how good it is, but we were away last week and Denise used her hair dryer 2 or 3 times and it worked fine.

@Dellmassive is prob the guy to give you the advice you need

I have a Jackery 1000 v2 and its not skipped a beat. But if it was my main power source I'd want to go for the biggest wh I could afford.

I picked up the Bluetti Elite 100 V2 when it was for sale at its introductory price. Nothing to compare it to but a great bit of kit and would highly recommend if in the market for that sort of spec, it's supposedly the upgrade to the AC180.

We got a Bluetti AC180 recently and have used it on several occasions now. It powers our awning compressor fridge, flagpole lights and rechargeables, Airfryer and wifeys Dyson hairdryer, oh, and the 1900 watt max coffee machine.
An extra 90Ah of power to play with, 1152Wh. £479 we paid through B&Q. So useful, especially with a Renogy 220 watt solar suitcase array to keep it topped up.
2 and a half days of compressor fridge use before needing a top up. Quality gear! Quite a lump, great with a sub £20 case/cover off the Bay.

I got swayed on a review that the elite model had a more efficient inverter so the difference was negligible, also me being a little weakling the weight saving with the elite did it for me

I’m exactly the same as @soldas. That said, I’ve also got a bit of case envy now I’ve seen the @Drive Wayne post. I do like the idea of accessing the panel just by dropping a flap - can’t do that with the Jackery bag which would cost a lot more if you don’t get it on a special.

The proper Bluetti bag was ridiculous money, our bag has flaps either side for the fans to vent, the access your 'outs and ins' flap on the front and a useful zippable top wires storage bit and they call it waterproof which the 'proper' one isn't! For £19 something, great product from ebay. I bet they do one for your Jack!

Pardon our interruption...

£18.12 at the moment! I'm sure they make them for a range of powerstations.
