Thanks for making that review video Jon and Thanks Tracie for editing 🙂 looks like a great product

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Any time! Hope you got some info out of it. Thanks for watching 👀

[@OzTravelLog]

Jon well done on the video (Watch out,Tracie might get jealous 😂) Have to agree that power bank could be a game changer.👍

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

He did pretty good 👍 Mind you if you can imagine the olden days editing room with miles of cut film on the floor then thats what it was like editing 😆 Thanks for watching.

[@grahamwhittaker8844]

👍👍make sure you check your caravan aircon manual for power consumption and start up power requirements before choosing the correct power ,you may need the ac200L or even the ac300 if you want to run the aircon on some vans ,if you’ve got the money an ac300 and two b300 batteries will run any van all night. Yes a lot of money but you’ll have the ability to run anything anywhere 👍👍plus bluetti is now available at Bunnings,so Australia wide backup. I’ve been seriously looking at them for a while now and you really need to get your calculator out and decide cost of units into costs of plug ins at van park or were ever, cost of purchasing and running a generator and the value you place on the ability to go off grid and still have it all 👁️👁️😎😇❤️🇦🇺

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Our caravan can handle off grid just not the air-conditioning. This Bluetti will be used mainly for Tracie to use the computer during the night but also when we are in the swag. Thanks for watching 👀

[@user-wj9wh9ut7j]

Thanks John that was very interesting

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Thank you 😊

[@kiaoraable]

That’s a game changer Jon, I’m going to look into one, awesome thanks so much. Cheers Judy

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

No problem 👍I think it will serve its purpose for us ok

[@Roberto.Giuseppe]

Hi guys , great video. I just bought one last week, its a great unit, I have been testing the ac180 at home for my caravan. As carting a generator with its footprint and weight wasn't great. Its an amazing unit and using it in the ute as a 2nd battery and it being portable outside the ute is a game changer! Also the power grid at our rural home isn't as reliable with at least 2-3 power outages over a year. Its able to run the pump from our water tank so at least we have water in the house. Great review look forward to your next vid!

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Sounds awesome . Jon was just saying it will be great if we have a black out while in a house. Thank you for letting us know how good its been for you, we look forward to using it more

[@dotharbour4514]

Just watched your Bluetti Got online and ordered one from Bunnings $1,099 free delivery I’ll be able to power the fan heater when I get out of the shower. (When off grid)

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Oh that will be nice. I might have to do just that lol. Thanks for watching 👀 🙂 🙏

[@user-ph2ys8el3g]

Hi. You did all the testing and was your fridge running on AC at the same time? Also, is your fridge 3way or compressor? Where do you go to get the discount?

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

The fridge is a 3 way fridge so when off grid and needing the bluetti then the fridge would be on gas. The code and link is in the description. Thanks for watching

[@user-ph2ys8el3g]

When you plug in the Bluetti to the AC point of your van and run the whole van on AC, I Would assume that your fridge would have been now running on AC, not gas.

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

@@user-ph2ys8el3g we have the fridge turned off at its on/off switch as we are staying in a friends house for awhile. No need for the fridge to be on

[@mickemery4486]

I liked the idea of having one of these as a back up, but after watching the video I checked out the bluetti website and for this model it says NOT to run air conditioner or washing machine, so you didn't read the instructions properly and if bluetti approved your video that is false claims about that product 😮

[@rossharvey1496]

If you do not have an inverter "soft start' air con then the start-up power drain will trip most set-ups. Jon said his was an inverter type so the Bluetti was obviously up to task with a softer initial draw. I think he said the Bluetti has a 2700 Watt capacity and I know I could run our van's air con from a 2000W generator. It isn't all that simple (like max amp draw, cable thickness etc.) but it looked like it wasn't going to trip. Having said that I'd not want to trash the warranty if the instructions do not recommend running such things as you mentioned.

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Thank you for watching - In response to your comment we would not use this on a household aircon however it was shown in our video that it could run our caravan air con -here is what the people at Bluetti say.... The AC180 is a portable power station, and whether it can run an air conditioner depends on the power requirements of the air conditioner and the output capabilities of the Bluetti AC180. Here are some key parameters: - Bluetti AC180: - Output Power: 1800W (rated), 2700W (surge) - Battery Capacity: 1152Wh - Typical Household Air Conditioners**: - Small portable air conditioners typically have power requirements ranging from 500W to 1500W. - Medium or large air conditioners can require power above 1500W. If you're looking to power a small portable air conditioner with a power draw within the 1800W output range of the Bluetti AC180, then it should be able to run it. However, if the air conditioner requires more than 1800W, the Bluetti AC180 might not be able to sustain it, especially considering the surge power required during startup. To provide a precise answer, you need to determine the specific power requirements of your air conditioner and compare them with the output capacity of the Bluetti AC180.

[@drewbear187]

How much power it takes for airbrushing?

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

I would imagine that depends on each individual machine and how much wattage it draws. Thanks for watching

[@jeep2701]

How many KZbinrs have been given one of these units to “test” …..maybe if they didn’t give away so many they might be cheaper. Anyway all the best on your “review” and travels. Ps no where near a dual battery system cheers

[@Mixos_place]

I was thinking the same thing...

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

Thanks for watching 👀

[@ottoswinebar]

They are very pricey, too many give always 😂

[@Coolybanana]

They had on sale for $1099 last week on their website. Mine got delivered this morning...

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

@@Coolybanana Enjoy using it, we have. Its been great
