BLUETTI Elite 100 mini review

BLUETTI Elite 100 mini Portable Power Station (1,004.8Wh)

By Tom Calder

Our verdict · Researched
3.5 / 5

About 1 kWh of LiFePO4 in BLUETTI's smallest-footprint 1 kWh box, at 23.6 lb. The catch is the output: 700 W continuous, with surge BLUETTI puts at 1,050 W for 2 seconds. That's plenty for a router, lights, a CPAP and phones through the night, but it may struggle to start a fridge and won't run a microwave, kettle or space heater.
