Bluetooth Elite 100 V2 Review: 1KWH Pack Leader

The Bluetooth Elite 100 V2 is one of the brand’s most advanced portable power stations, bringing versatility, compact design, and affordability to a whole new level. With an output of 1,800W, an impressive 4,000 charge cycles, and an asking price of just Rs 99,799 (99,799), it’s an absolute powerhouse at a surprisingly good price.

We’ve spent some time testing this capable 1,024WH unit, and let’s just say it right off the bat – it’s a 1kW pack leader that won us over quickly.

Design, size, first impressions

At first glance, the Elite 100 V2 doesn’t look that different from other options on the market. It includes two ventilation grills on each side, an LCD panel on the front (which is plenty bright for easy use), and accessories, smartphones, and some power-hungry devices up to 2,700W.

Bluity advertises this model as smaller and lighter than other 1KWH units, and we agree with that claim. It weighs 25 lbs (11.5 kg), so it’s about 0.5 kg lighter than the Ecoflow Delta 2. Not only that – it’s also slightly more compact, measuring in at 12.6 x 8.5 x 9.8, compared to 15.7 x 8.3 x 11 in EcoFlo’s 1KWH model.

And yet, we found the Delta 2 a bit easier to carry, likely thanks to its two built-in handles on each side. The Blutitude one, meanwhile, is positioned in the upper rear, so its weight isn’t quite balanced. Definitely not a deal breaker, but worth mentioning nonetheless.

When it comes to ports, the Elite 100 V2 has plenty. Here’s a quick look at everything it has to offer:

Its 1,800W output is impressive on its own, but the app’s power-lifting mode lets you push it up to 2,700W for power-hungry appliances. Behind it all are advanced LIFEPO4 battery cells with a solid 4,000+ charge cycles at 80%—that’s more than 10 years of reliability when you need it most.

Charging the Elite 100 V2 is as easy as using it. The device supports a massive 1,000W solar input and 1,200W AC output (you can connect the two for quick charging). Like other 1kW options on the market, it also allows for top-ups via vehicle or generator.

But how long does it really take to get from 0% to 100%? In our testing, the model reached 100% in about 70 minutes — about the same as Blutet’s own estimate. Keep in mind that you will need to use 1,200W maximum input through the mains to achieve this result. We usually charge at 600W to preserve battery life.

Now, this all sounds impressive on paper – but how does the Elite 100 V2 handle everyday use?

Real life testing and app controls

Simply put, the Elite 100 V2 handled everything thrown at it. We tested it in a variety of scenarios, powering home appliances, gadgets and appliances. And we were not disappointed with the results!

Although it has a 1,024WH capacity – the same as the Delta 2 – we found this model to be much more refined. For one thing, it loses a bit of battery when you receive smartphones. In fact, we managed to get about 55 full smartphone charges before the unit needed a top-up. Really impressive.

But that was not all. Our colleague vacuumed the office with a 1kW vacuum cleaner for over 30 minutes, and the station only lost 30% of its charge. We estimate that it can give you well over an hour of runtime on such devices. Here are the other results we got from our tests:

The only downside we noticed is the number of AC sockets on the European version. Although the Delta 2 could be less optimized, its four outlets make it more convenient for indoor use. We wish Bluetooth had included a wireless charging pad like its EB3A. But alas, we don’t get one.

What we really appreciated besides the impressive output is the noise. Or, rather, the lack thereof. The Bluetooth Elite 100 V2 does the trick: we never heard a cooling fan, even when it was powering a massive 2 kW heater.

And the app is equally amazing. It’s not only convenient for checking battery life and output, but also allows you to toggle various features, including power lifting mode. You can download manuals, set screen timeouts, and even monitor estimated power savings, among other things. Keep in mind that you’ll need to pair the station with your phone via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth to access all of the app’s controls.

Pricing, Availability, Alternatives

The Bluetooth Elite 100 V2 is available in the US and Europe, with a standard price of 99 799 (99 799). You can buy it directly from the Bluetooth store or through Amazon. While it’s also cheaper than standard price, both retailers frequently offer significant discounts, sometimes more than 30%, so looking for deals will definitely pay off.

But it’s not the only 1 kW unit on the market, so let’s look at some alternatives.

Ecoflow Delta 3

The successor to the EcoFlo Delta 2 has a capacity of 1,024WH and an output of 1,800W (2,600W increase), so it is very similar to the Elite 100 V2. It includes 13 outlets and offers Turbo Fast recharging to 100% in just 56 minutes. The model packs two extra AC sockets (6 vs. 4), making it a bit more practical for home use.

The Delta 3 also has an IP65 rating, while the Elite 100 V2 doesn’t offer water or dust resistance. However, the EcoFlow Station supports more than half the solar input (500W max), plus it doesn’t include a 140W USB-C port. This option has an MSRP of $699, but you can sometimes find it for less on Amazon and the Echo Flow store.

Inker Solux C1000 Gen 2

Anker’s latest 1KWH unit is another solid Elite 100 V2 competition. This station offers a massive 2,000W output and has a 3,000W peak. It is also very rich, port wise. You have 10 outlets, including five AC sockets and two USB-CS ports for added convenience.

The highlight here is super fast recharging. Anker has upgraded its HyperFlash technology, giving you a 0-100% top-up in just 49 minutes. When it comes to pricing, the C1000 Gen 2 costs the same as the Elite 100 V2 – $799.

JACKRY EXPLORER 1000 V2

Jackery also has a 1KWH unit worth considering. The Explorer 1000 V2 is ideal for home and outdoor use, boasting 1,070WH capacity and 1,500W output. It packs two USB-C ports, one USB-A, three AC outlets, and a single car outlet (12V). In total, it has seven outlets, so the Elite 100 V2 wins on that front.

Still, Jackree equipped this unit with an LED light. It’s an incredibly useful addition that most users will definitely appreciate as frequent campers. The Explorer 1000 V2 is listed for $9,799, though both Amazon and Jacky.com often sell it for less.

Should you buy the Bluetooth Elite 100 V2?

Bottom line: Bluetooth Elite 100 V2 does everything right. With convenience, improved performance, impressive runtime on everyday equipment, and multiple ports for quiet operation, it’s more than your average backup power source.

Factor in the compact design, advanced LifePO4 battery cells, and affordable asking price, and you’ve got a choice for home and outdoor use.
