Introducing the Bluetti FridgePower
The Bluetti FridgePower is an ultra-slim backup power storage system designed to keep refrigerators and other essential appliances running during power outages. Unlike traditional generators, it is compact and unobtrusive, making it ideal for modern homes.
What sets the Bluetti FridgePower apart is its size. At just 2.95 inches wide, it is built to fit into narrow spaces next to a fridge, sit on top of a fridge or cabinet, or mount on a wall. This design makes it practically invisible in a kitchen, apartment, or office setup, offering a seamless solution for those with limited space.
Most home backup solutions are either loud, heavy, or too large for practical use in a real home environment. The FridgePower is specifically designed for modern kitchens and tight spaces, featuring a plug-and-play setup that doesn’t require professional installation.

Key Features of the Bluetti FridgePower
Nearly Invisible Design
FridgePower is super slim, at 2.95 inches, and built to disappear into the dead zones of kitchens next to appliances. If you live in an apartment, smaller home, or any kitchen where every inch counts, the biggest barrier to backup power is often finding the space.
Low Idle Draw for Longer Real-World Protection
Bluetti positions FridgePower as a fix for energy leaks, which are the background power drain that can shorten runtime. According to the company, FridgePower can limit idle power draw to 4W. Under the same capacity conditions, it claims that FridgePower can deliver additional runtime versus standard units for a loaded refrigerator.
24/7 Smart Monitoring
FridgePower includes app-based features built around outage anxiety:
- Storm Watch: syncs with local weather data and can fast-charge before predicted storms
- Real-time alerts: notifications for outages, low battery, and anomalies
- Remote management: scheduling + remote on/off controls
UPS-Style Switchover
Bluetti says FridgePower supports a 10ms seamless switchover, designed so critical loads don’t lose power during an outage. It also includes an intelligent bypass design: as long as the grid is active, the fridge stays powered even if the storage unit encounters an issue.
Additional Uses for FridgePower
If you’re building an emergency-ready setup, FridgePower is also useful for:
- CPAP machines
- Aquariums
- Sump pumps
- Wi-Fi + home office essentials
- Other small-to-mid essential appliances during outages
