My husband and I appreciate and value your reviews. When describing our equipment to others you are always mentioned and told we consider you the gold standard for making reviews. We've started with the Bluetti AC50S followed with the EB70 in 2021 These batteries were used until September 2023 in out tiny house travel trailer. In 2023 we moved up into the faster charging bluetti models. Needed something light and portable so we replaced our very first Amazon battery purchase with the Bluetti EB3A. Had been studying for several months after that purchase which model could consolidate the two older batteries. The dimensions and weight were always the problem. Finally we saw the AC180 which was perfect. What a game changer for us. We don't have solar so we added the AC70 a month later. Totally pleased with the fast charging aspect so we're in no hurry to get the solar. We operate 2 chest refrigerators totaling 87 quarts, with 28 operating as a freezer. At some point solar is inevitable. (Yes, Rick the refrigerators are 64 qt.Bodega and 23 qt.Alpicool so we can see your influence in those purchases.) We've watched your videos since the summer of 2020 and have learned from both of you. Linda love the cooking episode, but have learned from both of you about hiking safely in unknown areas. I'll close with, 🍰 keep the pie coming🥧. Take care Lee and Connie
Amazing times. How wonderful are the times we live in. It boggles my imagination, not only the things that we currently have, but God only knows what will be available in the future. The traveling/nomad lifestyle may hold great appeal for future generations. The times, they are a'changin... Looking forward to seeing that refrigerator review. Thanks for keeping us on the cutting edge Rick.
Good timing on the video 29 low teens on the wind chill factor and falling in deep south tx .next two days are going to be colder. We sure don't need a Texas repeat
I have a Bluetti that I can use in the summer but in the winter Michigan is too cloudy to recharge the Bluetti with solar. So I have a Honda generator for the winter. The winter is when my electric usually goes off most of the time, sometimes for 10 days at a time. Nice review Rick.
I love my old Rayo, Aladdin, and perfection lamps. I have several fueled and ready for the winter. I wish bluetti would send me a power station. Never hurts to dream. God Bless.
Great review on the Bluetti AC180T. I started with a EB70 and later got the AC200L. I gave the EB70 to my son, now he's a Bluetti guy too. The upcoming multi refrigerator sounds awesome. You and Linda do great reviews Rick. My wife and I enjoy all your videos, traveling, reviews, whatever. I sure liked hearing the old theme song all the way though at the end of this video. Wink/wink
You will get your wife to move it? Giggles I am looking forward to the refrigerator review. I would go look for it now, but I want to use your link next month, so you get credit for me doing that. Thank you for this review. These are exciting times n the RV industry. :)
I LOVE this one. I have an old EB150 that I have loved for years now. Pretty excited about this one and can't wait to see that refrigerator!!! Very happy with my Bluetti.
Awesome thanks for the great videos of the things that you need when you are on the road traveling and even at home as well have a wonderful week and Than You.🇺🇲☀️☀️🇺🇲
I like my AC200P and have two of them. I can see that being able to remove the two batteries would also make the unit lighter to move around, but not sure I would want to cut my main power unit almost in half if I couldn't afford extra batteries. Thanks for the review.
The AC200P remains on Bluetti's product list and is a dependable workhorse. We like ours. The handles on the AC180T aren't as easy to hold onto, but removing the batteries makes carrying it really easy.
Helen and I have two of the Bluetti products and have been very happy with them. This new Bluetti looks to be a real game changer. Thanks for the heads up Rick.
:) GO Rick! GREAT review, product and video! May have to wait for income tax return to maybe buy one :) LOVE my 50S that my Daughter took :) ALL the BEST, Happy New year to you, Linda, Family and Friends! Cheers from Left frozen Coast! :)
Funny. Had to use my kerosene lamp this morning. Power out 3 hours in this crazy below zero temps. Also using the bluetti to run my modem so I could have internet lol. That really is a very nice large power station. Ours isn't even close to that power. We just have the eb70s. It works great for small jobs, but wouldn't be able to run a heater on it very long. But that's what we have the buddy for, so it's all good. Maybe one day we'll get one of these bigger units.
Good job as always , Rick. Quartzite did not work out for us this year. Hope you and Linda and family stay safe in this arctic blast. I don't know how you guys do it. It will be 5 degrees in ChattanoogaTn and I see you are in double digit negative weather.
Yeah, minus 28F here this morning. I'm sorry that Quartzsite didn't work out. We're not going in January anymore because it's just too windy and cool to enjoy camping! We're delaying an extra month this year.
Sitting inside after coming off a -18F period and shoveling 11" of snow. Now a balmy -1 F. I'm really looking forward to some of those BLUETTI ice cubes.
I know what you mean. It's +6 so I was out in shorts and a light sweatshirt shoveling. I did weenie out and put shoes on this time. Don't need socks yet though.
Great review Rick ! Jeff, wife & cats just arrived at Hobocamp. Been chilly but next week is gonna be low 70s day & upper 40s night 😁👍 Bout time for you & Linda to escape the Great White North !
@@gonagain I had a similar issue with Dr appts. Waited too late to make them. I was ready to leave in Nov but had to wait till after Thanksgiving. One appt was for mid Dec but at last minute they cancelled and wanted to reschedule for Jan..I said no way ! I'll be back in April..it can wait till then..lol. I had already seen my primary & other heart Dr..so it wasn't really necessary in my opinion. Next year I will definitely make the appts way early..no later than Sept so I can leave when I want to 😁👍
I like the extra battery idea. This is still on my list of things I would like to have. Portable power is one thing I need at my remote hunting property. The local power company wants 36k to bring power to my cabin.
I think I'd go solar and have a small generator to top off the batteries during extended cloudy days. One of the great features of this new AC180T is that you can get additional batteries to save more power. I'm thinking that these extra batteries may be less expensive because they won't need a built in MPPT controller for charging because they will just drop into the AC180T to recharge. The prices should be available soon and I'll get them posted asap.
I'm a casual nomad at this point. I'm picky about my UA-cam watching. This channel is one of the few I always watch .
That's quite the compliment, thank you very much!
I would totally love the e bike battery and the ice
Count me in on that
Good information. Thank you

This is like watching Home Shopping Network. Not what I am looking for.
Great review Rick👍👍
Thanks 👍

It's been cold everywhere. Today it warmed up to 17F here and it felt really warm.
Looks great please don't send me wrong

I guess that's one of the nice things about winters in MT --- the sun is almost always shining. At least on our side of the Rockies.
Wow! 🙃
That's a nice power station Rick.
Thanks, JT. Hope you and your boss lady are staying warm.
@@gonagain
It's so cold here, I think I saw a politician with his hands in his own pockets 😳
Like the removable batteries
It also makes it a lot easier to move the unit with the batteries removed.
Wait. Not even a cameo from Linda? 😢
She usually leaves the reviews to me, but not always. She might want to help with the review on the refrigerator when it arrives.
That Be Nice & make a 😊Fruit Smoothie Through😅 iN With ice Cubes Fridge Review@ End, Lol
I love my old Rayo, Aladdin, and perfection lamps. I have several fueled and ready for the winter. I wish bluetti would send me a power station. Never hurts to dream. God Bless.
Rick & Linda we so enjoy watching your videos. Stay Safe & Warm 😊

Thanks, Allen! Appreciate hearing from you.
Dang!! Ice Cubes😊Lol
I know, right?
@@gonagain sounds Like a SLightLy Tropics Crush'd PineappLe Smoothie Time, Or a BLend'd Coffee Lol
Linda can make a lot of pizzas with that bluetti.
Boy I really need one.
We liked that last video you posted on IG, made us homesick for the desert.
Yeah, you guys have a open invitation to come on down
What's the cost of the Bluetti?
It's not on the market yet and we'll post it when we find out. It should be out later this month yet.
I love the idea of removable batteries and the refrigerator sounds like a winner already. I can see so many uses for it
You will get your wife to move it? Giggles

Wait until you see their new refrigerator, it's a lot better than anything else out there right now.
You need to put up a Montana State Flag on the wall, and make sure you fly the American Flag Center and on the top. Have a good day.
Not a bad idea.
:) GO Rick! GREAT review, product and video! May have to wait for income tax return to maybe buy one :) LOVE my 50S that my Daughter took :) ALL the BEST, Happy New year to you, Linda, Family and Friends! Cheers from Left frozen Coast! :)
Thank you, Marty. Same to you! My daughter has my AC50 and my friend absconded with my AC50S. Those are great little units.

I had my fingers crossed for you guys during the AC200L give away.
@@gonagain that would have been awesome. Guess it just wasn’t meant to be😊

Nice!
I bet that your wife can move it by herself, just take the batteries out, move it and then put the batteries back in.
I've been doing that myself and it makes it really easy.
How does it do in cold weather? Say 15 degrees?
You can use it down to -4deg F but you can't charge it below 32deg F.
Ok so I didn’t win the Bluetti but didn’t you tell them that everyone that responded to the contest should receive one :)
I wish that it could be so.
Sitting inside after coming off a -18F period and shoveling 11" of snow. Now a balmy -1 F. I'm really looking forward to some of those BLUETTI ice cubes.
Amazing how -1F feels warm after -18! Today it warmed up to +17 and it felt like summer had arrived.
I know what you mean. It's +6 so I was out in shorts and a light sweatshirt shoveling. I did weenie out and put shoes on this time. Don't need socks yet though.
Great review Rick ! Jeff, wife & cats just arrived at Hobocamp. Been chilly but next week is gonna be low 70s day & upper 40s night 😁👍 Bout time for you & Linda to escape the Great White North !
I wish we could leave right now! We are stuck here until the middle of February or so for appts.

It just keeps getting better and better with off grid power.
Excellent review. Thanks. Keep up the great videos.
