RV FEATURE
No problem . I just grabbed the AC50B , an extension cord and the trimmer , and I did the whole driveway in a little under an hour . This may seem mundane but consider the trimmer was rated at 500W . Without the Bluetti , I would have needed to drag a heavy petrol generator down there to do the job . That would have been inconvenient , to say the least , given the distance between the shed and the driveway was about 150m ! The lightweight and portability of the AC50B made the task so much easier .
FINAL ASSESSMENT
Just like my old WRX , the Bluetti AC50B shows that when a manufacturer focuses on performance , simplicity and the overall user experience , forgoing some of the unnecessary bells and whistles , a great product is the result .
Yes , there is room to improve the Bluetti AC50B , as is the case with any product . I would have liked at least one more 240V outlet and perhaps a slightly higher solar input limit , but these are minor quibbles .
Bluetti has hit a real sweet spot with the AC50B in terms of its performance and usability . They ’ ve also put a realistic price tag on it with a recommended retail price of just $ 599 . Combined with Bluetti ’ s generous five-year warranty , that is excellent value for money .
The AC50B is not much bigger than Bluetti ' s smallest unit , the AC2A , yet it offers twice the battery capacity and twice the 240V power output .
