Same inverter on paper, two opposite ideas of where a backup battery should live.
The BLUETTI Elite 320 is a 75 lb rolling station with 3,200Wh, four US outlets, USB, a 12V socket and a 10ms UPS, but BLUETTI US has never sold it: it is listed in Europe and Australia. The BLUETTI FridgePower, sold by BLUETTI US, packs 2,016Wh into a 3-inch slab that sits on the fridge or hangs on the wall, with the same 1,800W, 3,600W surge and 10ms switchover, two outlets, and a port for three BlueCell 200 batteries, up to 8,064Wh. Buying in the US, the FridgePower, or the Elite 300 if you need the capacity and the ports in one box.
Below: every difference with numbers, a 20-second calculator for your own gear, seven modeled situations, the Elite 300 as the current BLUETTI pick near the Elite 320’s capacity, and what published tests found.
If you’re buying in the US, the FridgePower or the Elite 300: BLUETTI US doesn’t sell the Elite 320. The two share the same 1,800W, 3,600W surge, 10ms switchover and UPS modes. The Elite 320 has 1,184Wh more out of the box, wheels and a full set of ports; the FridgePower is 31.6 lb lighter, fits on top of a fridge and takes extra batteries.
- you want 3,200Wh in one box
- you charge USB and 12V gear
- you roll it room to room
- it guards a fridge 24/7
- space is tight: 3 in thick
- you’ll grow to 8,064Wh
The five differences that decide it
Both are 2026 BLUETTI LFP units with 1,800W of continuous output, a 3,600W surge, Power Lifting, a 10ms UPS with the same four modes, 1,440W Turbo charging, 1,000W of solar, an IP20 indoor rating and Wi-Fi. These five gaps decide it.
Will it run your setup? Check in 20 seconds
Estimates use 85% usable capacity and 70% of rated solar output. Real results vary with temperature, inverter load, shade and appliance cycling. Fridge and freezer watts are daily averages and do not include compressor startup surges.
Runtime by appliance, one at a time
Simple energy estimates, not measured runtimes. About 2,720Wh usable on the Elite 320 and 1,714Wh on the FridgePower before extra batteries. Reviewers measured 1,558 to 1,749Wh out of the FridgePower.
Appliance for appliance, the Elite 320 lasts 59% longer than the FridgePower.

What the current options cost today
BLUETTI rates the FridgePower at 4,000 cycles and the Elite 300 at 6,000+, both to 80%, and publishes no cycle rating for the Elite 320. The cycle rows divide today’s price by cycles × capacity, a ranking rather than a bill. The Elite 300 is the closest BLUETTI US unit to the Elite 320: 3,014Wh, 2,400W, the same 10ms UPS and a full set of ports, at 58 lb, without wheels or expansion.
The third option: the BLUETTI Elite 300 at $1,199
BLUETTI Elite 300: $1,199 today
The closest BLUETTI US unit to the Elite 320: 3,014Wh and 2,400W from four 20A outlets and a TT-30, 4,800W Power Lifting, the same 10ms UPS, 1,200W of solar and a 12V/30A port, rated for 6,000+ cycles, at 58 lb. It has no wheels and no expansion. Pick it over the FridgePower if you want about 3kWh in one box with USB and 12V. Our Elite 300 review goes deeper. See the Elite 300 at BLUETTI.
Seven modeled situations, worked out
Same formula as the calculator above, with no extra battery unless stated. The fridge averages 60W, about 525kWh a year, in the range printed on typical EnergyGuide labels; that average does not include compressor startup surges.
24-hour outage, essentials only
The Elite 320 covers a full day on its own; the FridgePower about 19 hours, and a day and a half with one BlueCell 200. Phones charge from the Elite 320’s USB ports; on the FridgePower they need their AC chargers.
The fridge alone, for as long as it takes
About 45 hours on the Elite 320 and 29 on the FridgePower out of the box. Three BlueCell 200 take the FridgePower to about four days.
A sump pump through a storm
Identical ratings: both start and run it, and both take over in 10ms. The FridgePower’s app pushes an outage alert and can fast-charge ahead of a storm from local weather data.
Home office through an outage
Both switch fast enough for a desktop PC: 10ms against the roughly 16ms an ATX power supply rides through. The Elite 320 lasts longer; BLUETTI rules out servers and workstations on both.
Refill from solar, each at its maximum
Same 1,000W input, so the smaller FridgePower is full sooner. Both take 12 to 60V.
Kitchen, closet or laundry room
The FridgePower is made for it: flat on the fridge top, upright on a wall bracket or in a cabinet, with 3.94 in free above and 1.97 in on the left. The Elite 320 takes a corner of the floor.
Moving it
The Elite 320 rolls on wheels but takes two people to lift into a car. The FridgePower has no wheels and no handle, only handle holes and a strap: it is meant to be placed once.
Eight more differences, the spec sheet and the box
Smaller gaps that rarely decide the purchase, then the full specifications and what ships in the box.
Elite 320 and FridgePower weight, dimensions and full specifications
Weight: 75 lb for the Elite 320 and 43.4 lb for the FridgePower. Dimensions: 15.9 × 11.2 × 18.1 in and 22.83 × 13.78 × 3.07 in. Elite 320 figures are the US 120V model’s, from BLUETTI’s EU manual; BLUETTI US doesn’t sell it.

FridgePower
Practical consequence: the Elite 320 has a port for every small device; the FridgePower is two AC outlets for a fridge and one more appliance, and anything with a USB cable needs its own charger.
09 · NoiseNoise and heat: Elite 320 vs FridgePower
Only the BLUETTI FridgePower has figures: 50dB at most and about 30dB in Silent charging per BLUETTI, just under 45dB at 1 m at 1,800W per The Technology Man. There is nothing published for the BLUETTI Elite 320.

App, UPS and smart features
Close: the BLUETTI Elite 320 and the BLUETTI FridgePower share a 10ms UPS, Wi-Fi and the same UPS modes. Only the FridgePower takes extra batteries and prepares for storms.
Same app and switchover. The gap is expansion and the storm alerts.Green zone: a switch under about 16ms, which most desktop PCs ride through without restarting.
Can you add a battery later? The BLUETTI Elite 320 has no battery port; the BLUETTI FridgePower takes up to three BlueCell 200 batteries, for 8,064Wh.
Does it prepare for storms? BLUETTI lists no storm mode for the BLUETTI Elite 320; the BLUETTI FridgePower fast-charges ahead of storms from local weather data.
Does it work as a UPS? The BLUETTI Elite 320 switches in 10ms; the BLUETTI FridgePower switches in 10ms or less (The Technology Man measured 6.2ms).
How does the app connect? The BLUETTI Elite 320 connects over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth; the BLUETTI FridgePower connects over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and works with Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant.
Can it charge off-peak? The BLUETTI Elite 320 has a Time Control mode; the BLUETTI FridgePower has a Time Control mode, though Trusted Reviews saw it keep drawing about 60W from the grid at peak.
Can it run a heater or kettle above its rating? The BLUETTI Elite 320 runs resistive loads up to 2,700W in Power Lifting, at 1,800W real output; the BLUETTI FridgePower runs resistive loads up to 3,000W in Power Lifting, at 1,800W real output.
Warranty and support
BLUETTI Australia lists the BLUETTI Elite 320 at 5 years, in its country of purchase; BLUETTI US lists the BLUETTI FridgePower at 5 years (60 months) from the purchase date.
Same term on paper; only the FridgePower is covered by BLUETTI US.Subject to each brand’s warranty terms and eligibility.
BLUETTI rates the FridgePower at 4,000 cycles to 80%, about 11 years at one full cycle a day, and publishes no cycle rating for the Elite 320. A backup that mostly waits on grid power cycles far less.
- Buy the FridgePower from BLUETTI or an authorized seller and keep proof of purchase.
- For an Elite 320, keep the receipt from the country where it was bought: the warranty is limited to it.
What reviewers report
We have not lab-tested these two units. Here is what 9 published reviews found, with the source, author and date for each point. Reviews of UK and EU units are flagged: those models charge from 230V outlets and have different sockets, so their charge times and outlet findings don’t carry over to US units.

Practical limits before you buy
- BLUETTI US doesn’t sell the Elite 320. A unit from Europe or Australia has 230V outlets and a warranty tied to its country of purchase.
- The FridgePower has two AC outlets and nothing else. No USB, no 12V socket and no screen; you read it in the app or on the optional Display 1.
- It is built to stay put. 43.4 lb in a 3-inch slab that sits on the fridge or hangs on a wall; there are handle holes and a strap, no carry handle.
- Leave it room to breathe: 3.94 in clear above and 1.97 in on the left. iPhone in Canada found that, on top of a fridge, it covers the space the fridge vents through.
- Turn ECO mode off for a fridge. BLUETTI warns it can cut the outlets during the compressor’s quiet phases.
- Charging stops at 90% by default on AC and solar; raise the limit in the app if you want the full 2,016Wh.
- Idle draw: BLUETTI says about 4W; The Technology Man measured about 12.1W with AC on and nothing plugged in.
- The Elite 320 can’t be expanded and weighs 75 lb: the wheels handle floors, a car takes two people.
- Power Lifting is for heating loads only on both; actual output stays at 1,800W.
- Elite 320, per its EU manual: Power Lifting runs resistive loads of 1,800 to 2,700W, but actual output stays at 1,800W.
- Elite 320, per its EU manual: The car socket and the two DC5521 ports share 10A in total.
- Elite 320, per its EU manual: Not for data servers or workstations that need a high-performance UPS.
