Frequently asked questions
-
-
- Q1: What Is a Blizzard?
- A blizzard is a severe winter storm characterized by strong winds and heavy or blowing snow that significantly reduce visibility. During whiteout conditions, people can become disoriented and lost—even when traveling short distances.
-
- Q2: What Is a Multi-hazard Event?
- A multi-hazard event occurs when two or more extreme weather phenomena strike simultaneously or in rapid succession—such as windstorms combined with blizzard conditions, or consecutive named storms arriving within days. These compounded impacts overwhelm infrastructure and stretch emergency resources, significantly extending power restoration times.
-
- Q3: What Is a Windstorm?
- A windstorm is a severe weather event characterized by exceptionally strong winds — typically sustained winds exceeding 90 km/h (55 mph) or gusts exceeding 100 km/h (62 mph) — capable of causing widespread damage to infrastructure, power lines, and trees.
-
- Q4: Is a Blizzard Just a Snowstorm?
- No. While both involve snowfall, a blizzard is far more dangerous because it includes powerful winds and near-zero visibility, making travel and outdoor activity extremely hazardous.
-
- Q5: Why Are Blizzards Dangerous?
- Blizzards are dangerous because heavy snow and extreme winds can bring down power lines and damage electrical infrastructure, leading to widespread and prolonged power outages. Blocked roads and near-zero visibility also prevent repair crews from reaching affected areas, significantly delaying power restoration.
-
- Q6: What Is the Difference Between a Windstorm and a Blizzard?
- A windstorm brings powerful gusts—often exceeding 80 mph—but little or no snow, causing damage mainly through falling trees and flying debris. A blizzard combines strong winds with heavy snow and near-zero visibility, adding extreme cold and blocked roads to the disruption. Both can cause widespread power outages, but blizzards also threaten heating supply and make rescue and repair operations far more difficult.
-
- Q7: Is It Safe to Go Outside During Freezing Rain?
- No. Freezing rain makes roads and sidewalks extremely slippery, greatly increasing the risk of falls, vehicle accidents, and injuries. It’s best to remain indoors until conditions improve.
-
- Q8: Can a Blizzard Cause a Power Outage?
- Yes. Blizzards and ice storms frequently cause power outages due to: High winds knocking down power lines Heavy snow or ice accumulating on trees and infrastructure
-
- Q9: What Should You Do If the Power Goes Out During a Blizzard?
- Stay warm: Use blankets or sleeping bags and dress in layers Use safe lighting: Flashlights or battery-powered lanterns are safest Keep devices charged: A portable power station can help maintain communication and power essential devices Avoid using charcoal, gas stoves, or grills indoors due to carbon monoxide risk.
-
- Q10: Is the Government Giving Out Free Generators?
- In some emergencies, local governments or charitable organizations may offer temporary assistance, but free generators are not typically provided. Some households may qualify for subsidies or emergency relief depending on location and circumstances.
-
- Q11: What Size Generator Do I Need During a Power Outage?
- The right size depends on what you want to power: 1,000–2,000 W: Phones, laptops, lights, routers 3,000–5,000 W: Refrigerator, lights, small heater 5,000+ W: Multiple appliances or partial home backup Many households choose portable power stations for quiet operation, indoor safety, and ease of use during short-term outages.
-
- Q12: Is It Safe for a Generator to Get Wet?
- No. Generators should never be exposed to rain or snow. Even outdoor-rated units must be kept dry and well-ventilated to prevent electrical hazards and carbon monoxide poisoning. Use a weatherproof generator tent if necessary.
-
- Q13: How Do You Safely Use a Generator During a Snowstorm?
- Place it outdoors in a well-ventilated area, far from windows and doors; Protect it from snow and moisture; Never operate a generator indoors or in garages.
-
- Q14: How Long Will Food Last in a Refrigerator Without Power?
- Refrigerator: 4–6 hours if the door remains closed; Full freezer: Up to 48 hours; Half-full freezer: About 24 hours.
-
- Q15: How Can You Keep a Refrigerator Cold Without Power?
- Keep doors closed as much as possible; Use ice packs or dry ice; Transfer perishable food to insulated coolers if outages are prolonged.
-
- Q16: What Should You Do If Pipes Freeze During a Blizzard or Ice Storm?
- Leave faucets slightly open to relieve pressure; Apply gentle heat using warm towels or a hair dryer; Never use open flames; If a pipe bursts, shut off the main water supply and contact a plumber.
-
- Q17: How Should You Prepare for a Winter Power Outage?
- Emergency kit: Flashlights, batteries, first-aid supplies; Backup power: Generator or portable power station; Warmth: Extra blankets, insulated clothing, sleeping bags.
-
- Q18: How Do You Prepare for a Winter Emergency?
- Install winter tires before snow season; Keep a vehicle emergency kit with blankets, food, and water; Insulate exposed pipes and seal drafts in your home; Stock essential food, water, and medications.
-
- Q19: How Can You Stay Connected During a Blizzard or Ice Storm?
- Fully charge devices before the storm; Keep power banks or a portable power station ready; Use a battery-powered radio for weather alerts and emergency updates.
-
- Q20: What If Charging Devices Becomes Difficult in Freezing Weather?
- Charge backup batteries in advance; Use a vehicle charger only in open, well-ventilated areas; Store power banks indoors to preserve battery performance.
-

What Our Customers Say
Apex 300, the best inverter?
After using and testing the EU version of the Apex 300 station for two weeks, I can say that it is one of the best portable inverters on the market, with impressive performance for a portable station, at least still portable at 38 kg. I would say that the Apex falls between the AC300 and the AC500, but with enormous potential for expansion that its predecessors do not have, with the possibility of connecting up to three stations in parallel to triple the power, the addition of a 700W DC module, and a solar module that can support up to 4000W of solar panels. But on its own, it can be sufficient for many uses (vans, self-consumption, backup power at home or on construction sites).

Good news: testing with the Apex 300 is going well.
Today I confirmed that my condensing boiler works perfectly when powered by the BLUETTI Apex 300. Even when it’s not connected to the grid and the power station outputs split-phase current, the boiler starts up without any issues. With all the other power stations I’ve tested so far, the boiler never worked under these conditions. The same goes for charging the BLUETTI AC500: it never started charging from a split-phase power station, but with the Apex 300, it works. This is another strong point in favor of the Apex 300. For some, it might seem like a small detail, but during a winter blackout, it means you won’t be left in the cold — and that makes a real difference.

BLUETTI Apex 300 Versatile Power Station | 3.840W 2.764,8Wh
Must-have for emergency backup
Initial tests confirm that it accepts split-phase power for charging, which is great because it will be compatible with most gasoline generators. I’m really happy with it: I’ll be using it both at home and in my gas-free camper, and it will allow me to run all my appliances at the same time, like the air conditioner and the hair dryer

Excelent balance of price and capacity
Before buying a power station, I did a lot of research and compared several brands before settling on the BLUETTI Elite 30 V2. It fully covers my needs as a backup during the constant electricity blackouts we experience. It charges really fast and offers multiple charging options — AC, solar panel, and car charger. It comes with a modern LiFePO₄ battery rated for 3,000 charging cycles, which gives me great peace of mind. It's also super lightweight — even my mum can carry it with no trouble at all. It's been incredibly handy for camping trips too, especially paired with a BLUETTI solar panel. My order was processed within a week with free delivery to Germany, and from there I arranged shipping to Ukraine. The BLUETTI support team were quick to respond and really helpful throughout the process. I'm already planning to pick up a BLUETTI solar panel next!

BLUETTI Elite 30 V2 Portable Power Station | 600W 288Wh
Excelent balance between price and power
This station has been a lifesaver for keeping my workspace powered during blackouts. I tested it with my fridge, and it kept it running for a solid 7 hours (the fridge draws about 150 watts). As someone living in Ukraine, I really appreciate what BLUETTI is doing — these products make a genuine difference in our daily lives!

Necessary home backup during blackouts
The BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 is a versatile and powerful portable power station, ideal for off-grid living, camping, or as a backup power source. Mostly I am using it as home electricity backup which saves me during blackouts
- Álvaro Navarro
BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 Portable Power Station | 2.600W 2.073,6Wh
Kept my essentials running during an outage
I would say perfect even for home. A refrigerator, TV and several lamps provides excellent for more than 4-5 hours of operation. A good choice during a blackout. Charges quickly - as stated. which is important in conditions of short network access time.

Very reliable for outages
An extremely useful, silent, and powerful electric generator. It’s perfect for off-grid locations and as a backup during blackouts. I'm currently fine-tuning the solar charging system. Great product

Quality product with decent capacity
I bought the BLUETTI Elite 30 V2 mainly for home use during power outages and for camping trips, and it’s been great so far. At home, it easily keeps my Wi-Fi router, lights, phones, and other small devices running when the power goes out, which is a huge relief. Everything works smoothly and quietly. For camping, it’s super handy. I use it to charge phones, run a small fridge, lights, and other gear, and it handles all of that without any issues. The handle makes it easy to carry, and I really like that I can recharge it quickly or use solar panels when I’m off-grid.

BLUETTI Elite 30 V2 Portable Power Station | 600W 288Wh
Very good compact powerstation
Suitable size and versatile use possibilities with a wide range of equipment both at home and on the go. Easy to use, so you will be taken on a trip and kept in use instead of in the corner of the warehouse. Of course, the capacity is not endless, but with moderate use it also served as a good backup plan for short power outages.
