Why you should buy the EcoFlow River 2 portable power station

Portable power stations like the Jackery Explorer 1000 and the Bluetti AC180 are the heavy hitters when it comes to name recognition, but the EcoFlow River 2 portable power station knows a thing or two about chipping in around the house. It beats the industry standard for charging speeds, as it’s able to reach a full charge in only 60 minutes. That’s five times faster than other portable power stations, and it’s a huge improvement over previous EcoFlow models. This makes the River 2 an excellent power station if you live in areas that deal with periodic power outages due to weather, or if you’d like some extra power out in the yard.

But the EcoFlow River 2 is a portable power station, and it makes good use in such a way. It’s good accompaniment on road trips, camping trips, and other outdoor adventures. It can easily keep devices charged up when you’re on the road, and it’s a nice alternative to the best portable power stations in that its simplicity helps keep its price low. Bundled with the EcoFlow River 2 for this deal is a foldable 110-watt solar panel, which makes the portable power station even more portable, as the panel can be used to recharge the River 2 when you’re far from an outlet. Whether you need some extra oomph around the house or in the wild, the EcoFlow River 2 is a good option for it.

You can add the EcoFlow River 2 bundled with the foldable solar panel to your home for just $308. That’s a savings of $283, as purchasing the two individually would regularly cost $588. Best Buy is including free shipping with a purchase.

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

The front of the Jackery Explorer 300 Plus.

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.
