Bluetti EB70S Power Station review: good value for money, minor issues

Portable power stations were once a bulky and expensive way to keep electrical equipment running, but in recent years have become smaller, sleeker, and less expensive for everyday users. No longer just for backcountry campers and preppers, they now come in a variety of sizes and capacities, with a variety of features and prices.

Bluetti is a good example, offering more than a dozen different models ranging from 300W all the way up to 2400W. In this review, we’re looking at one of their mid-range options: 800W EB70S Portable Power Station.

I spent several months testing the power station, testing its performance both at home and outdoors. I didn’t have the opportunity to take it on a full-scale camping trip during that time, but I’ll update this review when that changes.

Here’s how it performed in my testing, and what I found to be the strengths and weaknesses of this particular unit. I’ll go over its most notable features, and finally what I think the EB70S is best suited for.

OK, let’s get started!
