BLUETTI AC70P vs DJI Power 1000

DJI has replaced the Power 1000 with the Power 1000 V2, so the AC70P is the only one of these two you can buy new. The old DJI still has the bigger inverter and battery on paper, which matters to anyone who owns one or finds one on a shelf.

The DJI Power 1000 has left DJI's range. DJI replaced it with the Power 1000 V2, and this page shows the original no price. So if you're buying new, there's one candidate here, the BLUETTI AC70P at $499.

The old DJI still matters if a neighbour is selling one or you already own one. If someone offered me theirs, I'd want to know how it stacks up against a new AC70P. On paper it has the bigger inverter, the part that turns battery power into wall power: 2,200 watts continuous against the AC70P's 1,000. It also holds 1,024 watt-hours to the AC70P's 864.

The AC70P's answers are that you can still buy it with a warranty, and it weighs 22.5 pounds to the DJI's 28.7. For CPAP nights, laptops and a tailgate it covers the job. For anything that pulls more than 1,000 watts, the comparison worth making is the AC70P against the Power 1000 V2.

02

What the Numbers Reveal

Each conclusion stated first β€” the numbers behind it on one line, the full analysis below.

F1

continuous output

Surge is the brief spike a motor pulls the moment it switches on. A fridge compressor or a corded power tool can push past the AC70P's ceiling at start-up. The DJI had more room for that spike.

DJI Power 1000 outputs 2,200W continuous and 4,400W surge against the AC70P's 1,000W continuous and 2,000W surgeThe Power 1000 is retired; DJI points buyers to the Power 1000 V2

Why it mattersIf you need that headroom in a new unit, the Power 1000 V2 is where DJI sends you now. The AC70P is for loads that stay under 1,000 watts.

F2

rated cycles

At daily use that's about 8 years for the AC70P against 11 for the DJI before each fades to around 80% of its capacity. Neither stops working at that point.

The AC70P costs $499 and lands at $0.19 per lifetime kWh over 3,000 cyclesThe DJI Power 1000 is rated for 4,000 cycles

Why it mattersFor someone buying a used Power 1000, the higher cycle rating is part of what they're paying for. Ask how many cycles it has already done.

F3

weight

Those strengths stand on their own. A light box that's full again in under an hour suits a weekend trip where you top up at a campground outlet.

The AC70P weighs 22.5 lbs against the DJI Power 1000's 28.7 lbsthe AC70P recharges 0 to 80% from the wall in about 0.8 hoursA2

Why it mattersIf you carry it a lot and stay under 1,000 watts, the AC70P is a fine pick on its own merits.

The specific dimensions that decide these two units β€” everything else is a tie.

What the Specs Don't Tell You

Selected because: The noise ratings come from two makers, and the Power 1000's retirement changes what its expansion and spec advantages mean for a buyer.

rated cycles

DJI rated the Power 1000 at 23 dB. BLUETTI rates the AC70P at 45, about the hum of a fridge. They're two makers' figures, each measured its own way, so I wouldn't treat the gap as a reading. Reviewers do describe the old DJI as unusually quietB1.

The DJI also took expansion batteries and the AC70P doesn't. That only matters now if you already own a Power 1000. For a new purchase, the AC70P's 864 watt-hours is what you get.

PowerScore Breakdown

Selected because: The score gap tracks the output, surge and solar differences.

overall power score

Our composite score has the old DJI ahead, and the reasons are plain. It had more than twice the continuous output, more than twice the surge and 800 watts of solar input against the AC70P's 500.

The AC70P is a smaller box built for a smaller job. If your loads fit inside 1,000 watts, the score gap describes headroom you won't use.

Lifetime Value

Selected because: Only the AC70P has a live price, so its cost per lifetime kWh stands alone.

The AC70P works out at $0.19 per kilowatt-hour over its rated 3,000 cycles. The Power 1000 has no live price, so there's no fair number to set beside it.

If you're weighing a used Power 1000, do the sum with the asking price and the cycles it has left. The 4,000-cycle rating describes a new unit, and a second-hand one has already spent some of them.

Your Life, Your Pick

Selected because: Both pass the CPAP night and the tailgate; neither covers the long days.

The camping weekend, the eight-hour blackout and the van day are too big for both. The remote workday is close for the DJI and short for the AC70P.

Both pass the CPAP night with room to spare and both get through the tailgate. The DJI finishes the tailgate with more left. The AC70P uses 91% of its usable battery, which is a pass with not much to spare.

Conclusion

October 25, 2026

Verdict: the BLUETTI AC70P

DJI has stopped selling the Power 1000 and points buyers to the Power 1000 V2, so the AC70P is the only live candidate on this page. On paper the old DJI had the bigger inverter, 2,200W against 1,000W, more battery and a longer cycle rating. The AC70P is lighter at 22.5 lbs and covers CPAP nights and tailgates. Buy it if your loads stay under 1,000W. If you wanted the DJI's output, compare the AC70P against the V2 instead.

Test Notes & Caveats

Hidden gotchas and advantages we spotted that you won't find on the product page.

[NOTE]

Two Makers, Two Noise Methods

BLUETTI rates the AC70P at 45 dB and DJI rated the Power 1000 at 23. Each maker measures its own way, so the difference isn't a like-for-like gap. Reviewers describe the DJI as unusually quiet. For a bedroom, I'd look for hands-on reports of the AC70P under the load you'll actually run.

[NOTE]

AC70P: Fixed Capacity

The AC70P is sealed at 864Wh, and that is the ceiling. Normally the counterpoint would be that the Power 1000 can add expansion batteries, but that isn't a live option here: the Power 1000 is no longer sold, and DJI points owners to the Power 1000 V2. For a new purchase the expansion question doesn't arise between these two, so the AC70P's fixed 864Wh is simply what you get.

[NOTE]

AC70P: Power Lifting to 2,000W

The AC70P has BLUETTI's Power Lifting mode, which runs a resistive appliance rated up to 2,000W from its 1,000W inverter. It does that by delivering less power than the appliance asks for, not more than the inverter has: the heater still works, it just heats more slowly. Two things follow. BLUETTI scopes the mode to purely resistive loads β€” a heater, a kettle, an incandescent lamp β€” so it does nothing for a fridge compressor, a pump or a power tool; for motor loads the figure to read is the AC70P's separate 2,000W surge peak, not this one. And it is not a reason to size down, because running a load that big from 864Wh is a short session either way. Genuinely useful if a heater or a kettle is why you're buying; beside the point otherwise. The Power 1000 publishes no equivalent.

[NOTE]

Warranty: No Difference

Both units carry the same 5-year warranty, so coverage isn't a tiebreaker here. Both figures are maximums rather than guarantees: BLUETTI's depends on buying direct from BLUETTI or registering the unit, since reseller purchases carry a shorter term; DJI's on buying from DJI's own store, which is where the full five years is advertised.

[NOTE]

Cycle Ratings in Years

The AC70P is rated for 3,000 cycles and the DJI for 4,000. At daily use that's about 8.2 years against 11 before either fades to around 80% of its original capacity. On a used DJI, the useful figure is how many of those cycles are left.

Analyst note

The Power 1000 is no longer sold, so there is no price to work its cost per kWh from, and this comparison doesn't quote one. On what you can actually buy today, the AC70P works out at $0.19/kWh over its rated life. If you already own the Power 1000, the hardware comparison still holds: over its rated life the AC70P delivers about 2,592 kWh and the Power 1000 about 4,096 kWh.

Brand trust

BLUETTI

Ecosystem

One of the broadest lineups β€” 15-20+ models from budget (AC2A) to flagship portable (Apex 300, 2764.8Wh). Includes specialized products: vehicle solar hubs, sodium-ion cold-weather units, and balcony storage systems.

Support

The most inconsistent support in the space. Heavily email-based with China timezone delays. Some users get smooth, efficient service; others report weeks of troubleshooting runarounds, being offered discounts on new units instead of repairs, and confusing third-party purchase claim processes. Buying direct from Bluetti's website tends to produce better support outcomes.

Community

Active and growing β€” Reddit r/bluetti has a dedicated community. Second-largest after EcoFlow in engagement.

App experience

Rated 4.5/5 iOS and Android β€” tied for best app experience in the category. V3.0 UI redesign was well-received.

Unique strength

BLUETTI runs a deep lineup with a strong reputation for value per watt-hour, and the AC70P fits that pattern.

Worth knowing

Support is the inconsistent part of owning a BLUETTI. Some buyers get smooth service and others describe long email delays. Buying direct from BLUETTI tends to go better than buying through a third-party retailer.

DJI

Ecosystem

New entrant (2024) β€” five power station models to date: Power 500, Power 1000 (since superseded by the V2 but still sold), Power 1000 V2, Power 1000 Mini, Power 2000. Buying a "Power 1000" listing? Check which revision it actually ships.

Support

Leveraging DJI's established global support and repair center network from the drone business. Generally positive reputation inherited from drone operations, but limited power-station-specific track record.

Community

No dedicated power station community yet. Discussions happen within r/dji (~250K members, mostly drone users). Very small power-specific presence on Facebook and forums.

App experience

Rated 3.5/5 iOS and Android (DJI Home app ratings reflect entire DJI ecosystem including drones/cameras, not power-station-specific). Users report the on-device screen is more reliable than the app.

Unique strength

DJI brings battery engineering from its drone business, and reviewers credit the Power 1000 with quiet running and a solid build.

Worth knowing

DJI is new to power stations, and the Power 1000 has already been replaced by the V2. Support runs through DJI's drone repair network. If you own an original, check what support and parts DJI still offers for it.

All DJI power stations tested β†’

Analyst note

BLUETTI has the longer power-station history and a broad lineup. DJI is newer to the category but brought real engineering with it. For this pair the brand question mostly settles itself, because only the BLUETTI is still sold.

Growth path

AC70P

FIXED CAPACITY

Fixed at 864Wh, with no expansion β€” so size it for your needs up front rather than planning to add capacity later.

Accepts up to 500W of solar. Suitable for a 1-2 panel setup.

Adequate ports for most setups, but heavy users may want a power strip.

Power 1000

EXPANDABLE

Supports DJI expansion batteries, so you can add capacity later without replacing the base unit β€” useful if your needs may climb past 1,024Wh.

Accepts up to 800W of solar. Suitable for a 1-2 panel setup.

Adequate ports for most setups, but heavy users may want a power strip.

Expansion batteries are DJI-specific. You're investing in the DJI ecosystem.

AC70PPower 1000

Analyst note

Growth only counts if you can still buy in, and the Power 1000 is no longer sold (DJI points owners to the Power 1000 V2). That leaves the AC70P: it is sealed at 864Wh, so buy the size that covers you now. The Power 1000's expandability still matters if you already own one, but it isn't a reason to pick it over the AC70P.

DJI Power 1000

Reviewers keep coming back to how quiet the Power 1000 runs. They describe it as nearly silent under normal loads, with the fan only becoming noticeable at high output, and then as a soft whoosh rather than a whineB1.

It also held up past its own rating. One test ran it slightly above its rated output for a sustained stretch without loud noise or a shutdownB2. Wall charging takes a little over an hour from empty, with the fan staying quiet throughoutB3. On a week-long camping trip it ran a compressor fridge, phones, laptops and lightsB4.

β€œWhisper-quiet operation β€” one of the quietest power stations in its class, nearly silent under normal loads; sound only becomes noticeable past 1,500W, and even then it's a soft whoosh rather than the high-pitched whirring you'd get from BLUETTI or EcoFlow.”

    β€œWhisper-quiet operation β€” one of the quietest power stations in its class, nearly silent under normal loads; sound only becomes noticeable past 1,500W, and even then it's a soft whoosh rather than the high-pitched whirring you'd get from BLUETTI or EcoFlow.”

    β€œAC charging takes about 70 minutes from 0% to 100% (about 50 minutes to 80%), and during full-speed charging the fan barely makes a sound.”

Who Should Buy Which

Buy the AC70P if you…

  • β†’You're buying new, your loads stay under 1,000 watts, and you want a unit that's still sold and supported.
  • β†’You carry it often. At 22.5 pounds it's 6.2 pounds lighter than the old DJI.
  • β†’You want quick wall refills between usesA2.

Buy the Power 1000 if you…

  • β†’You already own a Power 1000. It still has the bigger inverter and the expansion port, so there's no reason to swap it for an AC70P.
  • β†’You've found one second-hand at a fair price and you need more than 1,000 watts. Check its cycle count and compare against the Power 1000 V2 before paying.

If neither fits

If the real job is a camping weekend, a full blackout or a van day, both fall well short. Look at a station of 2,000 watt-hours or more rather than choosing between these two.

The Bottom Line

The DJI Power 1000 is gone, so the buying decision here has one live answer. If 1,000 watts and 864 watt-hours cover what you run, I'd buy the AC70P. It's lighter, refills fast and is still sold with a warranty.

If the old DJI's 2,200-watt inverter is what you wanted, don't settle. Look at the Power 1000 V2, which is where DJI sends buyers now. And if you already own a Power 1000, keep it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers drawn from the spec record and cited owner research.

Is the DJI Power 1000 still sold?

No. DJI has replaced it with the Power 1000 V2 and points buyers there. Some retailers may still have stock, and used units turn up, but the AC70P is the only one of these two you can buy new from its maker.

Which one should I buy for CPAP use?

Both cover a CPAP night with room to spare. It uses 44% of the AC70P's usable capacity and 37% of the DJI's. The published noise figures, 45dB for the AC70P and 23dB for the DJI, come from different makers measured their own way, so they don't settle which is quieter at a bedside. For a new purchase, the AC70P is the live option.

Can either unit run a fridge or window AC?

Compressor appliances draw a brief surge when they start. The AC70P is rated for 1,000W continuous and 2,000W surge. The DJI Power 1000 was rated for 2,200W continuous and 4,400W surge, so it had more headroom. Check your appliance's starting draw against the AC70P's figures before relying on it.

Is the AC70P a good value?

It works out at $0.19 per lifetime kWh over its 3,000-cycle rating. The DJI Power 1000 has no current price, so there's no live comparison. If you're weighing a used DJI, factor in its remaining cycles and the lack of a new-unit warranty.

Does either unit support battery expansion?

The AC70P doesn't. It's sealed at 864Wh. The DJI Power 1000 supports DJI expansion batteries, which matters if you already own one.
