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.

Fraimic’s E Ink art frame generates art from your voice and looks incredible doing it
Fraimic's AI art canvas is one of the most thoughtfully designed smart frames I've come across.
Indoors, Interior Design, Person

We’ve seen a lot of "smart art frames" at CES over the years. Most of them feel like glorified digital photo frames in turtlenecks. However, there’s one that feels genuinely different: Fraimic, and I say that as someone deeply skeptical of this category.

The pitch appears quite compelling at first. Speak a prompt into the device, and its built-in mic sends the command to OpenAI's GPT Image 2.0, which then generates full-color artwork that lands on a Spectra 6 E Ink display.

Google is rolling out a fresh batch of updates to Gemini for Home and the Google Home app, and the headline change is one that could get more users to try out automations. Version 4.20 of the Google Home app adds a handful of pre-built routines to the Automations tab, so instead of building one from scratch, you can pick one and turn it on with a tap.

Roborock brought FIFA World Cup fever to Miami and it was blast to experience
Roborock Miami Fifa World Cup event

World Cup fever has hit Miami, and I experienced a bit of it myself at the famed Aventura Mall. Robotic vacuum manufacturer Roborock hosted a pop-up event there all weekend, allowing guests to play games, win prizes, and find out about the company’s current lineup.

The installation, dubbed “Your Home, Your Stadium,” ran in collaboration with two of Roborock’s partnerships: Real Madrid and Miami Lighthouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired. So, naturally, there was plenty of Real Madrid memorabilia on display, including a shirt signed by France striker Kylian Mbappe. Real Madrid and Brazil legend Roberto Carlos was present on the last day of the installation to greet fans.
