If a blackout has ever cost you a fridge full of groceries, Jackery has a fix for that now. The company is introducing FridgeGuard alongside three new HomePower Series batteries, giving you power backup options for different appliances.

FridgeGuard brings a sleek new look to fridge backup power

Jackery says FridgeGuard is the world’s slimmest refrigerator backup battery. It measures just 2.6 inches thick and weighs 23 pounds, allowing it to sit beside a refrigerator, lie flat, or be mounted on a wall. Inside, a 1024Wh battery delivers up to 15 hours of runtime, stretching to 30 hours with an optional expansion battery.

With a 10ms switchover, your fridge barely notices when the power actually cuts out. Jackery also built in a 1600W peak output to handle compressor startups, along with surge protection and a bypass mode that preserves battery health once it is fully charged. FridgeGuard can also support home offices, aquariums, and CPAP devices. It launches as a Costco exclusive at $559.99 for members.

Jackery HomePower Series brings home backup power in three sizes

For broader backup needs, Jackery is introducing three HomePower models:

  • HomePower 3600 Pro Max ($2,999) leads the lineup with 3584Wh of base capacity, scalable up to 43kWh, and can pair with a Manual Transfer Switch to back up your entire home automatically.
  • HomePower 2000 Plus v2 ($1,799) focuses on flexible scaling and solar charging. It offers 2048Wh that expands up to 12kWh through simple battery stacking.
  • HomePower 1000 v2 ($849) targets home offices with 1024Wh and built-in surge protection for sensitive electronics.

All three rely on LiFePO4 batteries rated for 6000 cycles, translating to roughly 16 years of use. The HomePower Series launches June 23 through Jackery’s website and Amazon.

Jackery is entering a growing category of home backup batteries designed specifically for refrigerators. Earlier this month, Anker introduced the Solix S2000, a compact power station that claims up to 35 hours of fridge runtime during a blackout.

Remember Samsung’s Ballie home robot? It may finally be inching closer to reality
Leaked app wireframes give the strongest hint yet that Samsung's Ballie home robot, first shown at CES 2020, might still be headed toward an actual release.

Samsung's rolling home robot has been the industry's longest-running "will it ever actually ship" joke, and I'll admit I'd mostly given up on it. Now, there's finally a glimmer of hope.

Samsung first unveiled Ballie as a concept at CES 2020. Then, it showed it as a significantly upgraded version four years later. However, the company never confirmed a release date or committed to releasing it at all.

The FCC has already made it much harder for foreign drone makers such as DJI to bring new products into the US. Now, the same crackdown is reaching a machine far more likely to be moving around your living room.

The US government recently added foreign-made advanced robotic devices to the FCC’s Covered List. The announcement appeared focused on humanoids, robot dogs, and industrial machines, but an FCC spokesperson has confirmed to The Verge that robot vacuum cleaners are covered too.

The GOKO M6 Robotic Lawn Mower Brings Industrial Robotics to Modern Lawn Care
7 reasons this AI-driven powerhouse makes hands-free yard work smarter than ever
Grass, Lawn, Plant

Robotic lawn mowers can save homeowners hours of manual yard work, but not every model is designed for challenging properties. While many perform well on flat lawns, larger yards with uneven terrain, steep slopes, and multiple mowing zones require a mower built for more demanding conditions.

Developed by GOKO, the consumer robotics brand of Robot++, the GOKO M6 is an industrial-grade 4WD AI-powered robotic lawn mower that brings more than a decade of industrial robotics expertise to residential lawn care. It combines AI-powered four-wheel drive, advanced navigation technologies, and AI QuadVision obstacle detection to tackle complex landscapes with less manual intervention.
