The verdict

The Bluetti AC180 holds 128 Wh more — 13% more capacity, which on a fridge-freezer is the difference between 14 h 2 min and 15 h 30 min.

The UGREEN PowerRoam 1200 is 4.4 kg lighter, which matters if you carry it rather than wheel it.

On indicative prices the UGREEN PowerRoam 1200 is the cheaper at £649, and works out at £0.63 per watt-hour against £0.65.

Both use LFP cells, so long-term durability is a wash.

Bluetti AC180 refills faster from the mains — 1 h 5 min against 1 h 30 min.

Short answer. Buy the Bluetti AC180 if you want the hours and can live with 16 kg; buy the UGREEN PowerRoam 1200 if the price difference matters more than the extra capacity. Neither is a bad buy — they are aimed at different jobs.
