BLUETTI Premium 100 V2 review
BLUETTI Premium 100 V2 Portable Power Station
By Tom Calder
BLUETTI's description of the Premium 100 V2 is word for word the Elite 100 V2's, and the published specifications match too: 1,024Wh, 1,800W, 11.5kg, the same nine outlets and 10ms UPS switching; BLUETTI's flyer adds a 2,000W combined AC-and-DC maximum. At £619 against the Elite 100 V2's £399 on BLUETTI's store on 10 October 2026, we can't find £220 of difference, so buy the Elite unless BLUETTI tells you what the Premium adds that you need.

Our review
BLUETTI's Premium 100 V2 is a 1,024Wh, 1,800W unit at 11.5kg with nine outlets, a 10ms switchover and a 70-minute recharge. The one thing to know is that every figure on its flyer, bar a 2,000W combined AC-and-DC ceiling against the Elite 100 V2's 1,900W, also appears on the Elite's spec sheet, and BLUETTI UK has listed the Elite for less at every check we have made. It suits a buyer who finds it on sale below the Elite.
What the numbers mean
1,024Wh is about one unit of electricity, of which roughly 780Wh reaches the sockets by the site's planning method (90% depth of discharge, 85% inverter efficiency, 10W self-consumption). BLUETTI's own runtime formula on its product pages uses the same 90% and 10W, with an inverter efficiency above 90%. 1,800W continuous covers any single plug-in appliance below a kettle; Power Lifting mode admits purely resistive loads up to 2,700W (the Elite manual the flyer pictures says real output stays at 1,800W), and the flyer gives a 3,600W surge for motor starts. The flyer rates the LFP cells at 4,000 cycles to 80%, about eleven years of daily cycling, and lists charging at 0°C to 40°C and discharging at -20°C to 40°C.
In a UK power cut
By our runtime method over the appliance-draw dataset, a fridge-freezer lasts 13 to 36 hours, a router 33 to 42 hours, a CPAP on blower alone 26 to 56 hours (9.5 to 25 hours with a heated humidifier), a laptop 10 to 20 hours, a television 3.5 to 18 hours and a gas combi boiler's electrics 6 to 17 hours. Fridge-freezer, router, four LED bulbs and a charging phone together give 4.5 to 14 hours; with the combi boiler, 2.5 to 8.5 hours. BLUETTI's flyer gives a fridge using 1kWh a day 19.9 hours and an 85W television 8.9 hours. Boilers are hard-wired, so that needs an electrician's changeover first. A 2.2kW kettle runs only in Power Lifting mode, slowly, taking about 30Wh a minute, roughly 4% of the usable battery.
How it compares
The BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 is the comparison that matters. BLUETTI's flyer for the Premium and its manual for the Elite agree on 1,024Wh, 1,800W, 2,700W lifting, 1,200W AC charging, 1,000W solar at 12 to 60V, 10ms UPS, 11.5kg, 320 by 215 by 250mm and nine outlets of the same types; the one line that differs is combined AC-and-DC output, 2,000W here against 1,900W. BLUETTI's UK store has listed the Premium above the Elite at every check in our price data, so compare the live prices before choosing. The EcoFlow DELTA 3 Classic matches the capacity and output at 12.1kg with two sockets, 500W of solar and no 12V outputs; the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus adds four sockets and expansion to 5kWh. The brand's line-up is on BLUETTI power stations.
Living with it
The flyer quotes 80% in 45 minutes and full in 70 minutes from the mains at 1,200W, the same 70 minutes from 1,000W of solar, and alternator charging that BLUETTI calls six times faster than a standard car charger. A full charge from empty costs about 27p at the Ofgem price cap rate of 26.32p per kWh for October to December 2026, before losses. Outlets are two mains sockets, a 140W and a 100W USB-C, two 15W USB-A, a 12V 10A car socket and two DC5521 barrels sharing 8A. BLUETTI claims 30dB under 600W, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and a five-year warranty. Its product page FAQ answers that the unit is not waterproof and says nothing about expansion; BLUETTI's FAQ lists an AC cable, a solar cable, screws and a manual in the box, and the flyer's documentation picture is the Elite 100 V2 manual. BLUETTI UK takes unused returns within 30 days.
Our verdict
Unless the price has fallen below the Elite 100 V2's on the day, buy the Elite: the published specifications match, and the Elite has a manual that names it. If a sale does put the Premium lower, it is a good 1kWh power station at a good price, with the caveat that BLUETTI has not said in writing what the Premium label adds. Deciding between brands rather than labels? Start with EcoFlow vs BLUETTI and keep the lithium battery fire safety guide to hand.

Who shouldn't buy this
Don't buy it if the Elite 100 V2 is available: it has the same published spec for much less.

Questions
What is the difference between the BLUETTI Premium 100 V2 and the Elite 100 V2?
On BLUETTI's own documents, only the combined AC-and-DC output: 2,000W on the Premium's flyer against 1,900W in the Elite's manual. Capacity, AC output, lifting power, charging, solar input, UPS time, weight, size and outlets match line for line.
Can the Premium 100 V2 run a fridge-freezer?
Yes. A fridge-freezer averaging 12 to 51W runs 13 to 36 hours on 1,024Wh by the site's runtime method; BLUETTI's flyer gives 19.9 hours for a fridge using 1kWh a day. The 3,600W surge covers the compressor start.
How long does the Premium 100 V2 take to charge?
BLUETTI's flyer says 80% in 45 minutes and 100% in 70 minutes from a UK socket at 1,200W, or 70 minutes from 1,000W of solar in ideal conditions.
Is the Premium 100 V2 expandable?
BLUETTI does not say. The flyer and product pages list no expansion battery or power-bank mode, so plan on 1,024Wh. For a 1kWh unit that grows, the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus goes to 5kWh.
