- BLUETTI launched FridgePower, a $849 refrigerator-specific battery backup with a 2.95-inch slim profile and automatic switchover when grid power fails, following a $2.2 million Kickstarter campaign and earning a 4.5/5 review from TechRadar.
- FridgePower includes a separate access panel showing live battery capacity and interior fridge/freezer temperatures, plus an Extreme Weather Alert that pre-charges the unit to 100% when severe weather is forecast for the area.
- BLUETTI's Elite 300 (3 kWh capacity, 2,400W output across 11 outlets, dedicated TT-30R RV port) was named "Best Overall" by WIRED's Best Portable Power Station List and is offered as a $1,449 bundle with two 200W solar panels during the sale.
- The Elite 400 packs nearly 4 kWh of capacity and 2,600W of output into a wheeled, retractable-handle chassis for easier movement around a home or worksite, sold as a $1,599 bundle with a 350W solar panel.
- The Apex 300 delivers native 120V/240V split-phase output (2,764.8 Wh, 3,840W) and expands up to 58 kWh of storage and 11.5 kW of output when stacked with B300K battery packs, with the bundle starting at $2,349.
- BLUETTI's Prime Day 2026 sale runs through June 26 on Amazon and the Bluetti Official Store, with Electrek readers using code ELECTREK5OFF for additional savings — covering the $749 Elite 200 V2, $199 Elite 30 V2, and $107 pocket-sized Elite 10.
- Established in 2013, BLUETTI now operates in 120+ countries selling solar generators and home battery backup solutions for emergency preparedness, RV travel, and off-grid use.
Why it matters: For households preparing for summer storm outages, BLUETTI's June 26 Prime Day sale offers portable power from $107 (Elite 10) to $2,349 (Apex 300 bundle), with the new $849 FridgePower auto-switching a refrigerator to battery power without anyone having to plug anything in at 2 a.m. — a specific gap that whole-home and generic portable stations miss.
