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!

ECOVACS top deal gets you $400 off a robot vacuum and all-in-one docking station

ECOVACS DEEBOT T30S robot vacuum and mop with AIO docking station

If you want to get your hands on a robot vacuum, window cleaning robot, or other smart home gear, you should definitely take a look at ECOVACS' entire Black Friday deals lineup. For this feature, we're going to highlight a single, specific deal that we're pretty excited about. Okay, maybe it's just me excited, but you get the point. The DEEBOT T30S robot vacuum and mop combo is the best-selling Omni robot in the country and for good reason. One of its best inclusions is the all-in-one dock that it comes with. This thing washes the mop with hot water, self-refills the tank, empties the dustbin, and much more.

What does that mean for you? Less time spent dealing with the vacuum and its maintenance. You can remain hands-off for weeks at a time, while the vacuum operates out of its dock and cleans the floors. Of course, you're here because of the Black Friday discounts and I don't blame you. Let's discuss.

These are the best Dewalt Cyber Monday deals on tools, accessories, and more

If you picked up a Cyber Monday TV deal, you might need to shop for a Cyber Monday cordless drill deal to get it properly mounted yourself. DeWalt, which not only makes great tools but also has some CamelCamelCamel-verified Cyber Monday deals, makes more than just the drill. The following deals represent the best Cyber Monday power tool deals you can get from DeWalt, plus some extra equally well-made DeWalt goods. It might also be worth checking out our general Cyber Monday deals roundup for any other deals that might interest you.
Our top pick: DeWalt 20V Max Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Kit — $299 $409 27% off

This is the bread and butter of DeWalt Black Friday deals right now, as it has not only the most essential tools of any kit — the drill and driver — but also a pair of batteries and a charger to keep them ready to go and a nice duffel as well. Get this kit for $299 to get started with DeWalt's 20V products in the best way possible. I personally own this kit, and I use it weekly, if not most days. I'm always hanging something up on the wall, fixing something that's broken around the house or just building some new contraption. The small drill is excellent for quick tasks, while the hammer drill is great for drilling into tough materials.

Travelers: Come one, come all for these Bluetti Black Friday hauls

BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 portable power station deal -- hero

If you've been paying attention, and I'm sure you have, you already know that a bunch of BLUETTI Black Friday deals have dropped, including on its latest Elite 200 V2 portable power station, and more gear like the Charger 1. But if you thought it all ended there, you were mistaken. There's a lot more on offer this year and now's a great time to stock up on portable power, accessories -- like solar panels -- and much more. See, the idea is to make sure you have home backup and off-grid power before any big events happen. Before all those hurricanes and tornadoes and big storms. Being from Florida myself, I know better. But either way, you should consider these deals and I highly recommend grabbing something, so let's get into it.

As an aside, right now you can use code DT01 for an extra 5% discount on top of all sale prices. That code is exclusive to Digital Trends readers and applicable to all products on BLUETTI's website.
