Pros and cons

Best 768 Wh for SolarModel AC70

BLUETTI AC70 Portable Power Station

The mid-size pick for solar charging and USB-C devices. If weight matters more than solar input, the RIVER 2 Pro is lighter.

Pros

  • 500 W of solar input, more than double the RIVER 2 Pro's 220 W
  • 1,000 W of AC output with a 2,000 W power-lifting mode for kettles and hair dryers
  • Two 100 W USB-C ports
  • LiFePO4 cells rated for 3,000+ cycles, backed by a 5-year warranty

Cons

  • Only two AC outlets
  • 22.5 lb, heavier than the 18.2 lb EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro
  • Power lifting runs resistive heaters at reduced power; it is not a true 2,000 W output
  • BLUETTI's pages give different surge figures, so we leave surge out
Model RIVER 2 Pro

EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro Portable Power Station

A good weekend-camping station when weight matters more than output. Its 800 W inverter is the limit to check against what you plan to plug in.

Pros

  • Full recharge in 70 minutes, by EcoFlow's figures
  • About 18 lb with 768 Wh on board, easy to carry in one hand
  • LiFePO4 cells rated for 3,000 cycles, with a 5-year warranty
  • Automatic backup switchover in under 30 ms

Cons

  • 800 W of AC output rules out most kettles, microwaves and space heaters at full power
  • Solar input is limited to 220 W, so a full solar recharge takes several hours
  • USB-A ports are limited to 12 W each

Choose the BLUETTI AC70 if

  • You recharge from solar panels.
  • You run appliances near 1,000 W or kettles in power-lifting mode.

Choose the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro if

  • Weight matters most, for example for hiking to a campsite.
  • 800 W covers everything you plan to run.
