BLUETTI’s Elite 30 V2 Powers Easy, Breezy Mornings and Fun Lake Days

Here are a few of my favourite things: brunch, lazy lake days and spending time with my family.

So when BLUETTI asked me to review the new Elite 30 V2, I knew exactly what type of adventure I wanted to go on.

My partner, Tavis, and I picked up my sister-in-law Brianne and headed to a beautiful lake on a hot summer day to test the power bank in three unique ways.

Brewing Coffee

We found a stretch of rocky beach and Tavis got to work brewing coffee. Weighing less than 10 pounds, the Elite 30 V2 is easy to carry to your spot for the day. It’s also whisper-silent to use, so you don’t have to worry about disturbing your neighbours, annoying your camping buddies or scaring off wildlife in the area.

Tavis turned off eco-mode and plugged our kettle into the Elite 30 V2’s AC outlet.

Meanwhile, I prepped our camping mugs; scooping our favourite Kicking Horse coffee grounds into our sturdy Stanley pour over. It took a few minutes longer to boil the water than it would have at home, and the kettle drained the BLUETTI’s battery faster than I’d expected, but after about 15 minutes, the water was hot enough to use for both coffee and tea, and the Elite 30 V2 still had over 40 per cent of power left.

Cooking Waffles

Next, it was time to make waffles! Tavis spooned globs of pancake batter into our mini waffle irons while I finished making the coffee. These small waffle makers are also 120V and took a minute or two to heat up with eco-mode off.

Within 10 minutes, we had plates of hot, fresh waffles ready to be smothered in maple syrup.

Paired with fragrant java and freshly steeped tea, the three of us munched breakfast and sipped beverages surrounded by trees, mountains and turquoise-tinted waters.

Inflating Floaties

Finally, we used the BLUETTI Elite 30 V2 to inflate our floaties. I’d recently purchased a giant beaver-shaped inflatable tube from Float-eh, and I knew it would take awhile to blow up manually.

Thankfully, with the help of the Elite 30 V2 and a portable air pump (110V), the beaver was plump and buoyant within seconds!

I jumped into the cool, refreshing water and felt the luxurious liquid soothe my warm skin. I propelled myself onto my floatie to spend the day in utter bliss.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast, I had a happy tummy and a caffeinated mind. Now, I had a trusty floatie to chill and relax on. If needed, we would have been able to charge our dwindling phone batteries with the remaining percentage of BLUETTI’s Elite 30 V2.

This unique gear item worked overtime to help power up the best beach day.
