How long will a BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 run a full-size refrigerator? (EU 230 V)
Yes, it runs it 15 h
Includes this load’s 85% duty cycle and the station’s 10 W idle draw — not a label-wattage guess.

0 – 1,800 W across the rails above
Two numbers decide this, and readers use them interchangeably: watts are the ceiling on what the inverter holds at any instant, watt-hours are how much energy the battery holds. A machine can have plenty of one and not enough of the other.
The verdict is a calculation, not a lookup; the hours are a division, not the nameplate watt-hours. The working is in the evidence below.
Where those numbers come from
A blank is never left blank. A field we have found no figure for says so, and a field whose sources disagree — two documents, or one document with itself — says that instead of picking one.
The surge ceiling on this page is ours, not the manufacturer’s
We have found no published surge rating for the EU 230 V build. So the start-up check runs against the continuous output instead — an inverter cannot surge below what it sustains, which makes that the safest number we can defend. Real inverters usually manage 1.5–2× their continuous rating, so a start-up call held back by this figure may well be fine in practice; we are not going to say so until the manufacturer does.
What a full-size refrigerator demands
That works out to 286 W, which is the figure checked against this machine's surge ceiling.
Start-up figure Category envelope — not a manufacturer figure
We have found no published inrush figure for this class. The multiple this site uses is therefore a category envelope drawn from standards tables: deliberately conservative, and not a measurement of any particular unit. A verdict held back by it may well be fine in practice — we will not say so until a manufacturer does.
What the BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 offers
This figure is ours, not the brand’s: the continuous rating used as a conservative floor because we have found no surge rating for the EU 230 V build.
The arithmetic: 1,024 Wh nameplate × 90% depth of discharge × 90% inverter efficiency = 829.4 Wh
BLUETTI publishes the coefficients but not this figure, so it is computed rather than copied.
What the machine consumes just being switched on. It sits in the runtime denominator alongside the load.

If this is not the pairing
BLUETTI Elite 30 V2 (EU 230 V) reaches the same conclusion on a full-size refrigerator at 600 W continuous, and it is €219. Cheaper is only cheaper when the answer is the same — this one is. See that pairing →
