Natural disasters can strike at any time so it’s important to be prepared for the unexpected. Buying one of the best portable power stations is a crucial way of ensuring you never run out of electricity no matter how serious your situation may get. One of the best brands to consider for keeping your family safe is EcoFlow. Offering plenty of great power stations with the cheapest unit costing just $349, it will give you the peace of mind you deserve during power outages even if the lack of power goes on for longer than you expect.

EcoFlow is passionate about keeping you and your loved ones safe during the worst of times, all by providing you with the right tools for a disaster. For just $349, you can buy the EcoFlow RIVER Portable Power Station which is able to power up to 10 devices simultaneously. The portable power station offers three 600W AC outlets with a 288Wh capacity so you can run all your essential devices for hours. It can even power some devices up to 1,800W if you need it to thanks to a special X-Boost mode.

Thanks to intelligent patented X-Stream technology from EcoFlow, the RIVER Portable Power Station recharges fast, too, with it taking less than an hour to go from 0% to 80%. A full recharge takes just 1.6 hours or you can switch to a quieter charging mode via the app, all depending on what matters most to you at the time.

Compatible with 80% of home appliances, the portable power station will power all kinds of kitchen appliances as well as DIY tools and anything else you can need. There’s always the option of doubling its capacity as well, with an extra battery thanks to EcoFlow implementing a modular design. It’s mobile, too, weighing just 11 pounds and only measuring slightly larger than a toaster.

Alternatively, if you want to invest in the most high-end product that EcoFlow offers, there’s the EcoFlow DELTA Pro. Currently available via a Kickstarter project, it promises to be the world’s fastest charging portable power station and capable of powering pretty much anything. It is the world’s first portable home battery with an expandable ecosystem for home backups along with smart energy management, too. With AC output of between 3,600 and 7,200W, it’s near impossible to think of something this device can’t handle. If you live in an area prone to power outages, you won’t have to worry with this portable power station covering you. It can even power window air conditioning units and washing machines.

Charging is possible via wall outlets, smart generators, car charging, EV charging stations, and even solar or wind charging, so there’s plenty of flexibility here. A full charge takes just under 2.7 hours via a wall outlet, too.

Other great features include its vivid LCD screen, and there’s app support for maximum control of your portable power station, too. The app can help you run your home more efficiently even when there isn’t an outage thanks to its ability to combat time-of-use rates, storing energy during off-peak hours and helping you view a full breakdown of your energy consumption each day.

Whatever you decide on, EcoFlow units are here to help you out. Great for giving you peace of mind whenever there’s a power outage, you can be rest assured that your family will be kept safe and in comfort once you have a EcoFlow power station in your home. Prices start at just $349 with plenty of options for every situation and budget.

Jackery is one of the most trusted brands for shoppers who are planning to buy from portable power station deals, and here's a bargain from Amazon that you wouldn't want to miss -- the Jackery Explorer 300 for a discounted price of $199, for savings of $80 on its original price of $279. We're not sure how long you've got to take advantage of this limited-time offer though, so you should act like this is its last day. Add the portable power station to your cart and finish the checkout process as soon as you can, as it would be a shame to miss out on this chance to get it at 29% off.

Why you should buy the Jackery Explorer 300 portable power station
The Jackery Explorer 1000 received a rating of 9 out of 10 stars in our review, so we think very highly of its smaller cousin, the Jackery Explorer 300. Like its larger counterpart, it offers a wide variety of ports for charging all kinds of devices, including USB-A, USB-C, AC, and DC ports. You'll be able to recharge the portable power station to its maximum capacity of 293Wh by either plugging it into a wall outlet, connecting it to your car outlet, or using the Jackery SolarSaga 100 solar panel, though that's going to be a separate purchase that will cost you $299.

Dabbsson DBS1000 Pro portable and being carried on trip

There's no hiding the fact that the portable power market is oversaturated these days. There are so many one-off brands, so many portable power stations to choose from, home backup power solutions, portable power packs, and expansion batteries -- there are just a lot. So you better believe that anything new hitting the market needs to have some really nice features, offering quite a unique experience, at least in comparison to everything else that's available. Well, color me surprised when I got my hands on Dabbsson's new portable power bundle, including the DBS1000 PRO power station and DBS2000B battery pack.

With a base capacity of 1,024 watt-hours, the DBS1000 Pro station can be expanded to 3,072 watt-hours with just a single expansion battery. You can even connect up to two DBS1000 Pro plus four 2,048-watt-hour expansion batteries (DBS2000B) to build up to a maximum of 10,240-watt-hours. That's impressive and ideal for active, adventurous travelers, but most importantly, anyone who needs a modular energy option. It's all the power you'll ever need while camping, taking a road trip, or living off-grid out of a van or RV.
