BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 Review (UK)

Name: BLUETTI Elite 100 V2
Brand: BLUETTI

The 1 kWh station with the most solar input and the fastest mains charge of the four we compare, a 10 ms UPS and a 5-year warranty, at the lowest direct price. It gives up 200 W of output to the Anker and cannot be expanded.

How We Reviewed It

We have not tested this unit ourselves. This review is built from BLUETTI's UK product page and FAQ, the EU/UK user manual linked from it and BLUETTI's UK warranty policy, read on 21 October 2026, and compares it with three rivals on their makers' own figures. Where BLUETTI's documents disagree, we say so. Prices come live from the brands' UK stores and from Amazon, and update twice a day.

Verdict

The Elite 100 V2 is the 1 kWh station with the most solar input (1,000 W, level with the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus) and the fastest mains charge (80% in 45 minutes) of the four we compare, with a 10 ms UPS and 5 years of warranty. It gives up 200 W of output to the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 and cannot take an expansion battery. On 24 Oct 2026 it was £499 at BLUETTI UK (list price £599) and £499 on Amazon. At that price it is the cheapest of the four 1 kWh stations we compare bought direct, and the one to pick for solar.

Buy it if

You will charge from solar: 1,000 W of panels, a full charge in about 70 minutes by BLUETTI's figure
You want the fastest mains charge of the 1 kWh class here: 80% in 45 minutes
You want a 10 ms UPS for a router, CPAP machine or PC
You want 5 years of warranty without registering

Skip it if

You need more than 1,800 W: the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 gives 2,000 W
You may want more capacity later: the Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus v2 and EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus expand, this does not
You want the lightest 1 kWh station: the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 is 10.8 kg against 11.5 kg
You want the solar cable in the box: it is an extra

UK Price and Where to Buy

BLUETTI sells the Elite 100 V2 on its own UK store, with panel and alternator-charger bundles, and it is listed on Amazon UK. On 21 October 2026 the Amazon buy box was a marketplace seller rather than BLUETTI UK; BLUETTI's warranty excludes purchases from unauthorised resellers, so check who is selling before you buy there. The UK store gives a 30-day money-back guarantee.

BLUETTI UK bundles

BLUETTI also sells the station with a folding panel and with its alternator charger. Prices come from BLUETTI's store at build time.

What It Will Run, and for How Long

The two UK sockets give 1,800 W continuous, and Power Lifting mode runs kettles and other pure resistive loads up to 2,700 W, so every device in the table runs. The runtimes below use Jackery's runtime calculator, the only runtime formula a maker publishes: 82% of the 1,024 Wh is usable, and AC loads also pay the inverter's own 15 W. BLUETTI publishes no formula of its own, so treat these as estimates. Real runtimes vary with the device and the temperature.

Device	Power used	Connects by	Approx. runtime
Dometic CFX3 35 compressor coolbox, 32°C outside source	About 12 W average (0.98 Ah an hour at 12 V), 282 Wh a day	12 V socket	71 hours
ResMed AirSense 11 CPAP source	56.1 W typical (73.2 W peak)	AC	12 hours
Beurer TS 15 double electric blanket source	Up to 100 W	AC	7.3 hours
Russell Hobbs 23840 travel kettle source	1,000 W	AC	50 minutes
Goal Zero Lighthouse 600 lantern (recharges) source	19 Wh battery, 5 hours on high	USB	44 full charges
Samsung Galaxy S25 phone (recharges) source	About 15 Wh (3,885 mAh; we assume 3.88 V)	USB	55 full charges
MacBook Air 13-inch (recharges) source	53.8 Wh battery	USB	15 full charges

Charging: Mains, Solar and Car

Mains

Turbo mode (1,200 W) reaches 80% in 45 minutes at 25°C, and BLUETTI's page gives a full charge in 1.8 hours. Standard mode takes about 2 hours. Silent mode, switched on in the app, charges more quietly.

Solar

Up to 1,000 W at 12–60 V and 20 A through the XT60 input; BLUETTI quotes a full charge in 70 minutes. The MC4 to XT60 cable is sold separately, and the manual says the panels in each series string must match (for example two 200 W, 20 V/10 A panels of the same type).

Car

From a 12 V socket with the optional car cable, or faster from BLUETTI's Charger 1 alternator charger, sold in a bundle. BLUETTI gives no wattage for the plain car cable on its UK page.

BLUETTI's figures differ slightly between documents: the manual gives 80% in 45 minutes and the product page a full charge in 1.8 hours in Turbo mode; the manual's own charging-mode table lists about 2 hours for the other modes.

Elite 100 V2 vs Anker, Jackery and EcoFlow

All four are 1 kWh LiFePO4 stations. The BLUETTI has the most solar input (level with the EcoFlow) and the quickest mains charge after the Anker; each rival beats it on at least one of output, weight or expansion. Figures are from each maker's UK page.

Anker's UK warranty policy gives its LiFePO4 stations 5 years but doesn't name the C1000 Gen 2 in its model table. Jackery's new Explorer 1000 Plus v2 (1,800 W, expandable to 11 kWh, 400 W solar) is compared in our portable power station guide.

The warranty is restricted to the country of purchase: a unit taken or shipped abroad loses it.
Orders can be cancelled within 48 hours, and the UK store gives a 30-day money-back guarantee.
The manual asks for a full charge cycle every 3 months in storage and storage at 40–60% charge.

Frequently Asked Questions

On paper it is the best 1 kWh station we compare for solar charging (1,000 W of panel input, a full charge in about 70 minutes by BLUETTI’s figure) and the quickest to charge from the mains after the Anker (80% in 45 minutes), with a 10 ms UPS and a 5-year warranty. Its 1,800 W output is below the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2’s 2,000 W, and it cannot be expanded. At its usual £499 direct price it is also the cheapest of the four.

The BLUETTI gives 1,800 W against 1,500 W, 1,000 W of solar input against 400 W, a 10 ms UPS against 20 ms and 5 years of warranty without registering. The Jackery is 0.7 kg lighter, has Jackery’s app and UK support, and is often cheaper on sale. For solar charging or power-cut backup, the BLUETTI; for the lightest unit to carry, the Jackery.

About 45 minutes to 80% in Turbo mode (1,200 W), with BLUETTI’s page giving 1.8 hours to full; about 2 hours in Standard mode. From 1,000 W of solar, BLUETTI quotes 70 minutes. Mains and solar together are limited to 1,200 W.

Yes, within 12–60 V and 20 A at the XT60 input, using an MC4 to XT60 cable (sold separately). The manual says panels wired in series must match in type and number per string, for example two 200 W (20 V/10 A) panels of the same type.

Yes. BLUETTI quotes a switchover of 10 ms or less when the mains fails, set up in the app, and names CPAP machines, routers and sensitive devices as the use. Keep the charging cable plugged in for it to work.

No. BLUETTI lists no expansion battery for it. If you may want more capacity later, the Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus v2 (up to 11 kWh) or the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus (up to 5 kWh) take extra packs.

Up to nine, per BLUETTI: two AC sockets and seven DC outlets (two USB-C, two USB-A, two DC5521 and a 12 V car socket), within 1,800 W of AC and 1,900 W of AC and DC together.

Yes, and sometimes for less than BLUETTI’s own store, but on 21 October 2026 the buy box was a marketplace seller rather than BLUETTI UK. BLUETTI’s warranty excludes unauthorised resellers, so check the seller on the listing before you buy.

Five years, per BLUETTI’s UK page and FAQ, with proof of purchase from an official store or authorised reseller. The warranty is restricted to the country of purchase.
