We see a lot of portable power station deals, and we’re glad we do! These are the types of workhorse devices that can essentially power an entire small to medium-sized campsite. We’re talking mini-fridges, lights, small TVs, and a handful of other appliances. They’re also great for charging must-have tech like our phones, tablets, and laptops. And as it turns out, one of the best brands in the business is seeing some markdown-love on Amazon today.

Right now, you’ll be able to purchase the Jackery Explorer 1000 Portable Power Station for $550. At full price, this model sells for $1,000. That $450 you’ll save can easily go toward some of the other Amazon deals we’ve been tracking down this week.

Why you should buy the Jackery Explorer 1000

Designed to keep the lights on your phone running when gridded electrical isn’t an option, the Explorer 1000 has got what it takes to travel for miles on your next wilderness trek. But thanks to its assortment of inputs and outputs, the Explorer is a terrific backup power option for your house or apartment, too!

Delivering up to 1,000W of power, the Explorer 1000 comes with three 120V AC outlets, one 12V DC port (for charging with a motor vehicle), two USB-A ports, and two USB-C PD connections. This covers just about any device you could ever need to connect to a backup generator. You’ll also be able to recharge the Explorer with its AC power, DC port, or solar panels (sold separately).

The beastly batteries this bad boy is equipped with are UL-certified, as is the entire chassis of the Explorer (Impact Resistance Class 9-certified). We’re also glad to see the addition of a sine wave inverter for consistent and clean voltage. While we’re not confident as to when this discount will vanish, now is definitely the best time to save. Take $450 off the Jackery Explorer 1000 Portable Power Station when you purchase through Amazon.

Traveling any time soon? In addition to your power station, you might want to look at a portable speaker for the long drive; and we have plenty of Bluetooth speaker deals for you to peruse!

The Google Home Speaker is impressive, until you look at the power cable

The Google Home Speaker hasn't even started shipping yet, but one lucky buyer managed to grab one early and share their first impressions. While most of the news is positive, there's one detail that won't sit well with anyone who cares about repairability.

For the unaware, Google announced the speaker back in October 2025, and pre-orders went live last week. Priced at $99, it's the company's first new speaker in six years, so people have plenty of questions.

I went looking for the best Prime Day bargains on Google hardware, and these are the winners

Prime Day discounts are hitting everything from Pixel phones to Nest cameras and the Pixel Watch 4. After digging through the listings, these are the deals that stood out the most.

Google Pixel 10 vs Pixel 10 Pro

Some Prime Day deals feel like discounts in name only, but after digging through this year's sale, I found a few Google deals that are genuinely worth your attention. Several Pixel 10 models are seeing triple-digit price cuts, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is at its lowest price yet, and a few Nest products are available at prices that are actually hard to ignore. Whether you're looking for a new smartphone, smartwatch, streaming device, or smart home upgrade, these are the Google deals I'd recommend before Prime Day wraps up on June 26.

This Prime Day, Sylvox Is Offering Up To 28% Off Its Frameless Outdoor TVs

Sylvox's Prime Day sale offers discounts of up to 28% across its outdoor TV lineup, including the Frameless Series, Deck Pro 3.0, and Cinema Series.

Indoors, Interior Design, Appliance

Prime Day is often associated with upgrading devices inside the home, but some of the most interesting deals this year are focused on the spaces outside it. From June 23 to June 26, Sylvox is offering discounts of up to 28% on its Frameless Series Outdoor TVs, bringing down the cost of a category that has become increasingly relevant as homeowners invest more in their outdoor living spaces.

The timing reflects a broader shift in how backyards, patios, and decks are being used. What were once occasional gathering spots are increasingly functioning as extensions of the home, doubling up as entertainment areas, outdoor dining spaces, and even wellness zones. As these spaces evolve, homeowners are paying closer attention to the products they bring into them—not just in terms of performance, but also how they fit into the overall design.
