Summer storms and tornadoes are increasing outage risks across the US, leaving households vulnerable to massive food spoilage, compromised essential medications, and the loss of expensive premium meats. But earlier this spring, BLUETTI introduced the ultimate answer to grid vulnerability – the FridgePower, a dedicated refrigerator battery backup. After crushing its crowdfunding phase with $2.2 million in backing, this highly anticipated hero has officially hit retail on the BLUETTI Official Store and Amazon.
For buyers who were waiting on the sidelines to see how the product performed, or for those who simply prefer the bulletproof assurance of buying through official retail channels with full warranty backing, your window has officially opened. The system has even bagged a Frost & Sullivan recognition as the world’s first ultra-slim backup system built specifically for appliances. BLUETTI is celebrating the retail launch with massive introductory discounts just as peak summer storm season kicks into overdrive.
Pure plug-and-play that slides into hidden space around your fridge

Traditional home battery backup means dragging a 60-pound, industrial-looking metal box into your kitchen and tripping over cables in the dark. FridgePower tears up that old playbook by acting like a stealthy kitchen appliance rather than garage hardware.
With an ultra-slim 75mm (2.95-inch) profile and a clean off-white finish, it supports both flat and vertical mounting. You can slide BLUETTI FridgePower right into the tight dead space next to your fridge, hide it behind it, or even place it flat on top of the appliance.
This permanent, hassle-free setup is exactly why it beats a standard portable power station. You don’t have to push your heavy fridge around just to get backup power. With FridgePower, you plug it in once, and you’re done, making it an absolute game-changer for renters or apartment dwellers who want seamless backup without heavy installations.
From over 20 hours of standalone backup to 4 days of scalable power

Don’t let the sleek look fool you; there is serious muscle hidden inside, designed to handle actual emergency timelines. On its own, BLUETTI FridgePower’s standalone unit packs 2,016Wh of capacity and 1,800W of continuous output – easily covering 21.6 hours of pure backup time for a standard refrigerator, which gets you through most standard blackouts without any extra hardware.
However, if a major storm knocks out your neighborhood infrastructure for days, the system scales to alleviate your anxiety. You can stack up to three BlueCell 200 expansion batteries to reach a massive 8,064Wh, stretching your timeline to four full days of continuous protection.
When the grid is running normally, BLUETTI’s bypass-first design and ultra-low idle power draw ensure power flows directly to your fridge without constantly cycling the battery and wearing it out. That maximizes energy efficiency and extends the hardware lifespan.
A smarter UPS built for fridges to handle overnight and away failures

When a severe storm knocks out the power in the middle of the night or if you’re away from home, you shouldn’t have to scramble in the dark or worry from afar. FridgePower protects your refrigerator and other critical home appliances automatically via its built-in 10ms UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) featuring four intelligent UPS modes tailored to different household needs: Standard for bulletproof 24/7 backup, PV Priority to maximize solar savings, TOU (Time-of-Use) to dodge peak electricity rates, and a highly flexible Customized mode.
While it is engineered primarily for the fridge, its appliance-first design makes it the ultimate savior for other temperature-sensitive or life-sustaining home systems—such as premium aquariums and fish tanks, where a sudden blackout can shut down vital oxygen pumps, filters, and lighting, putting expensive aquatic life at immediate risk.
All of these modes can be monitored and toggled effortlessly via the intuitive BLUETTI App. Through the app, you also unlock the smart Extreme Weather Alert feature, which tracks live weather forecasts and automatically charges the battery to 100% the moment a severe storm warning is issued in your zip code, giving you true peace of mind.
Open smart home integration and over a decade of reliability

As a massive bonus for smart-home enthusiasts, FridgePower boasts exceptional universal compatibility. It works seamlessly with major platforms, including Alexa, Google Home, and Home Assistant, allowing users to set up personalized energy management profiles directly within their existing ecosystem.
Beyond its smart connectivity, the hardware is built to remain completely non-intrusive for the long haul. Powered by premium LiFePO4 cells, it delivers over 4,000 cycles for over a decade of reliable defense. Plus, at a whisper-quiet 30 dB – equivalent to a soft library hum – it provides permanent protection right inside your living space without ever becoming a noisy distraction.
