BLUETTI

Typically, when a new launch happens you don’t see a significant discount for a while, and for good reason. But perhaps because it’s so close to Black Friday and the holiday discounts, BLUETTI just dropped a new release and an incredible deal. The brand-spanking-new Elite 200 V2 is $900 off the regular price. That means you can take home the Elite 200 V2, a 2073.6-watt-hour portable power station, for $1,099, instead of $1,999. That discount is good until December 3rd, so don’t wait around if you need one. With another storm brewing off the coast of Florida, now’s a good time to get a backup power solution if you don’t already have one.

Right off the top, $900 is a lot of money to save. But when you look at the features, capacity, and improvements in the new BLUETTI Elite 200 V2, that’s when things start to get really crazy. Let’s break it all down. It offers unmatched power and capacity, with a 2,073.6 watt-hour capacity, 2,600 watts AC output, and 200 watts DC output. It can power up a wide range of devices from small appliances to electronics and beyond.

Moreover, it’s compact and portable, precisely what you’d want a portable power station to be. That means you can take it and use it virtually anywhere. Take it with you camping, in your van or RV, use it in the backyard, or just power your gear when there’s a power outage. They’re super versatile and super handy.

And yes, the BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 connects to solar panels so you can charge it even if there’s no traditional grid power available. Plus, you get fast, convenient charging with battery levels hitting 80% in just 45 minutes when using the dual AC and PV inputs. TurboBoost technology can speed up charging to 80% in just 1.1 hours, or 2.4 hours with solar. Thanks to the LiFePO4 technology, this battery lasts a long time, too. Lifespan is up to 17 years, with over 6,000 discharge and recharge cycles.

I can’t remember the last time I saw a product launch with a discount this hefty. Never mind a discount this big on a new portable power station. If you don’t already have a home power backup option or want to empower your off-grid lifestyle, this is the way to go. You might even consider adding some solar panels to your order. Either way, the BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 is $900 off, which brings the price down to $1,099. That’s good until December 3rd, and it’s live now, just in time for Black Friday and the holiday shopping season.

This EcoFlow portable power station is only $119, with a catch

There are so many uses for a portable power station, and if you don't have one yet, you don't want to miss this opportunity to buy the EcoFlow River 2 for only $119. That's half-price following a $120 discount on its original price of $239, but there's a catch -- you'll be getting a refurbished model. If you're willing to take this deal for the huge discount, you better hurry -- it's part of EcoFlow's Outdoor Sale, and there are only a few days remaining before the event ends.

Why you should buy the EcoFlow River 2 portable power station
The EcoFlow River 2 is a smaller and more affordable version of the EcoFlow River 2 Pro, which received a rating of 4 out of 5 stars in our review. If you don't think you'll need the larger capacity of the EcoFlow River 2 Pro, and if you're on a tighter budget, there's no problem with going for the EcoFlow River 2 instead. Its capacity of 256Wh is enough for power outages, and to serve as a backup energy source for outdoor adventures. It's also much lighter at only 7.7 pounds and more compact than the EcoFlow River 2 Pro, so it's less troublesome to pack.

The Jackery Explorer 300 Plus portable power station is $240 today normally $300

Time and time again, I recommend that everyone have a portable power station or backup power solution handy. It doesn't matter if you live in a traditional family home, an RV, or a cabin, or if you're off-grid somewhere in a remote location -- I'm jealous if you are -- you need power. You'll need it to power small appliances for cooking, to charge your phone or devices to stay in contact with friends and family, or just about anything else electronically-inclined. A power station gives you the option to charge from anywhere, anytime. Often, they have super convenient features like being able to charge the station with solar power by connecting a solar panel. Today, Target has the Jackery Explorer 300 Plus portable power station on sale for $240, normally $300, which saves you $60. It has a 78,00 mAh battery capacity with fast-charging support, smart app controls, and much more.

 
Why the Jackery Explorer 300 Plus portable power station would be good to have
This power station has a 78,00 mAh battery capacity. That's enough to charge most smartphones 25 to 30 times. You can also charge most laptops three or four times, keep a CPAP machine going for up to four nights, or power a small refrigerator for about four or five hours. Of course, it will also power up lighting, charge other electronics like drones or game consoles, power a coffee machine, and more. Plus, with fast-charging support, it only takes two hours to get the station fully charged through an outlet. It takes about 9.5 hours to charge with a single Jackery SolarSaga 40-watt solar panel.
