BLUETTI Premium 30 V2 review
BLUETTI Premium 30 V2 Portable Power Station
By Tom Calder
BLUETTI's own listing for the Premium 30 V2 repeats the Elite 30 V2's description almost word for word, and the published specs match: 600W, a 140W USB-C port, 10ms UPS switching and low standby draw. The difference is capacity, 320Wh against 288Wh, about 11% more, for £269 against the Elite's £199 at BLUETTI's prices on 10 October 2026. That's a lot to pay for 32Wh, so we'd buy the Elite 30 V2 unless the Premium is on offer at a similar price.

Our review
A 320Wh, 600W power station weighing 4.3kg, with a 10ms UPS and a 140W USB-C port, which makes it a tidy desk or bedside backup for a router, a laptop and a CPAP. Its difficulty is a near-identical sibling, the Elite 30 V2, which has 32Wh less and has been noticeably cheaper whenever we have checked.
What 320Wh and 600W mean
320Wh is a third of a kilowatt-hour: enough for a full night of a router and phone charging with plenty spare, but only a few hours of anything that heats. 600W is the output from its single UK socket, with Power Lifting up to 1,500W for resistive loads such as a small kettle. The lithium iron phosphate cells are rated at 3,000-plus cycles to 80%. BLUETTI's flyer lists the ports as one mains socket, a 140W USB-C, a 100W USB-C, two USB-A sharing 15W, a 12V car socket and two DC5521 barrel outlets, and gives the ingress rating as IP20, meaning indoor use only.
In a UK power cut
Its best trick is the 10ms UPS. Plug a router and full-fibre box through it and a cut is invisible to the connection. On the method our guides use (capacity × 0.9 depth of discharge × 0.85 inverter efficiency, divided by the load plus the unit's 10W), about 245Wh reaches the sockets: a router for 10 to 13 hours, a CPAP for 8 to 17 hours without its humidifier (3 to 8 with it), a laptop for 3 to 6 hours, LED lamps for 11 to 16 hours and a TV for 1 to 5.5 hours. BLUETTI's own figures on the flyer are a 90W electric blanket for 2.8 hours and a 10W camping light for 27.4 hours.
A fridge-freezer averaging 12W to 51W runs for 4 to 11 hours, but with no published surge rating beyond the 1,500W lifting figure it is the wrong tool for that. Our CPAP guide has the detail for medical use.
How it compares
The Elite 30 V2 is the comparison that matters: 288Wh against 320Wh, the same 600W, the same 4.3kg, the same 10ms UPS and 140W USB-C, in a case of the same dimensions. BLUETTI's UK page for the Premium even refers to the app controlling 'your Elite 30 V2'. BLUETTI puts the Premium's own draw at 4.5W with only the mains side on and 9W with mains and DC both on. EcoFlow's RIVER 3 Plus offers 286Wh and 600W at 4.7kg, with three mains sockets and the option to clip on an extra battery up to 858Wh. Our Elite 30 V2 vs RIVER 3 Plus guide applies almost word for word to the Premium.
Living with it
Mains charging is 380W, 80% in 45 to 50 minutes on BLUETTI's figures, with a 980W bypass so it can feed loads while charging. Solar input is 200W at 12 to 28V, and BLUETTI gives 2.2 hours from a 24V car socket or its 200W Charger 1. A full charge draws at least 0.32kWh, roughly 8p a full charge at the October to December 2026 price cap unit rate of 26.32p per kWh. The app works over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. BLUETTI rates noise at 30dB with a 200W load, so it can sit in a bedroom. It is not waterproof and is listed with a five-year warranty.
Safety
Charge between 0°C and 40°C, keep it in a cool, dry place away from anything flammable, and keep the fan openings uncovered. The IP20 rating means no rain and no damp sheds. Our lithium battery guide covers the rest.
Our verdict
If the Premium 30 V2 is on offer at or near the Elite 30 V2's price, it is the better of the two by 32Wh and a fair buy for a router, laptop and CPAP backup. When the gap is as wide as it has been on our checks, buy the Elite instead. Neither is a fridge-freezer solution; for that, start at 768Wh.

Who shouldn't buy this
Don't buy it if you can get the Elite 30 V2 instead: it's the same design, so compare the two prices.

Questions
Is the Premium 30 V2 the same as the Elite 30 V2?
Almost. BLUETTI's published specs match on output, weight, size, UPS speed and the 140W USB-C port; the Premium has 320Wh to the Elite's 288Wh, and BLUETTI's UK description for it still names the Elite.
Can the Premium 30 V2 run a CPAP overnight?
Yes. On our method a CPAP without its humidifier runs for 8 to 17 hours; with a heated humidifier it is 3 to 8 hours, so turn the humidifier off for a long night.
How long does the Premium 30 V2 take to charge?
BLUETTI quotes 80% in 45 to 50 minutes from the mains at 380W, and about 2.2 hours from a car's 24V socket or its 200W Charger 1. It takes up to 200W of solar.
How loud is the Premium 30 V2?
BLUETTI gives 30dB with a 200W load on its flyer and calls it whisper-quiet, which makes a bedroom or an office a reasonable home for it.
