BLUETTI launches refrigerator backup power system in Canada

BLUETTI has brought its FridgePower battery backup system to Canada after a Kickstarter campaign that raised more than US$2.19 million. The launch targets households facing outages from extreme weather and grid disruptions, with early-bird pricing available through July 15. Why it matters: - Canadian households are dealing with more outages from extreme weather, wildfires, storms and grid disruptions. - FridgePower is designed to keep refrigerators running, helping protect food, medication and other temperature-sensitive essentials. - The launch gives consumers a dedicated backup option for one of the most important appliances in the home. What happened: - BLUETTI announced the official Canadian launch of FridgePower on June 16, 2026. - Frost & Sullivan recognized FridgePower as the world’s first ultra-slim smart backup power system purpose-built for refrigerators. - The product follows a Kickstarter campaign that raised more than US$2.19 million from backers worldwide. - BLUETTI is offering limited-time early-bird pricing through July 15, 2026. The details: - FridgePower has a 2,016Wh battery capacity and 1,800W output. - The system can provide up to 21.6 hours of backup power for a standard refrigerator. - Three BlueCell 200 expansion batteries can increase total capacity to 8kWh. - Expanded capacity can extend backup coverage to up to four days. - FridgePower can also power Wi-Fi routers, CPAP machines, aquariums and other everyday electronics. - The system switches to battery power in less than 10 milliseconds during an outage. - Users can manage the system through the BLUETTI App with intelligent UPS modes, Extreme Weather Alerts and remote monitoring. - FridgePower has a 2.95-inch profile and is built for homes, apartments and condos. - The system can sit beside a refrigerator or mount on a wall. - FridgePower operates at 30dB and is intended for permanent indoor use. - The battery uses LiFePO₄ technology rated for more than 4,000 charge cycles. - FridgePower is certified to UL 1778 and UL 1741 standards for residential backup power applications. - The early-bird price is CAD $1,199 for FridgePower alone. - The FridgePower plus BlueCell 200 bundle is priced at CAD $2,298. - Customers can take an additional 5% off with promo code BLUETTICAPR5. - BLUETTI also launched a Prime Day Pre-Sale Event with early pricing on other portable power and home backup products. - Featured pre-sale offers include the Apex 300 + B300K Home Battery Backup for CAD $3,499, the Elite 200 V2 Portable Power Station for CAD $1,199 and the Elite 100 V2 Portable Power Station for CAD $599. - A sitewide 5% discount is available with promo code BLUETTICAPR5. - The pre-sale is aimed at shoppers preparing for summer travel, RV trips, camping and seasonal power outages. Between the lines: - BLUETTI is carving out a narrower product category instead of competing only in whole-home backup. - The refrigerator-first pitch is meant to appeal to households that want lower-cost protection for essentials without buying a full-home system. - The Kickstarter result suggests some consumer demand for compact backup power built for smaller living spaces. What’s next: - The early-bird offer runs through July 15, 2026. - BLUETTI’s Prime Day Pre-Sale Event continues ahead of Prime Day. - Consumers interested in backup power will likely compare FridgePower against broader portable and home battery systems as outage risk continues through summer.
