Why is it a good deal? ??

Amazon just slashed the price of this top-notch power station by over 30%, saving you over $100, so it's no drain on your wallet. And if the power goes out, you won't have to worry about missing important calls or watching the battery slowly drain on your laptop. And you can even power a mini-fridge so your favorites don't spoil. (Because the power always seems to go out after food shopping.)

Why do I need this? ??

The portable power station is equipped with a 600W inverter as well as a 268Wh battery pack. There are nine total outlets on the station, which is great for multiple reasons — but mainly because it can charge more than one device, and one type of device, at a time. The whole family can benefit if the power goes out.

And yet, despite all its functionality, it isn't overly bulky. The Bluetti weighs just over ten pounds but is only 10 x 7.1 x 7.2 inches, which is more than small enough to be tucked into the back of a vehicle or a closet until it's needed. It's ideal for use in emergencies, or just for a bit of extra power on camping trips; after all, who says you have to be totally disconnected from your phone to enjoy nature?

According to Bluetti, this power station can keep a mini fridge going for three hours, recharge a phone twenty times or keep you warm with an electric blanket for just under two hours. It also recharges to 80% in just half an hour for when you need power fast. And its power supply is uninterruptible, which makes it a great option for use with computers.

What reviewers say ??

Whether you need backup power for outages in a storm or you like to camp fully charged, there are nearly 3,500 shoppers who get behind this.

Pros ??

"I'm so glad I ordered this when I did, as it provided much-needed power during Hurricane Ian outages," shared a rave reviewer. "It charged quickly using the mains power adapter when I first unboxed the unit (and already had approx. 60% charge) and provided plenty of power to keep phones charged when the power went out."

"I do have to say I'm quite impressed with this little beast," one user said. "I needed something for camping and to be able to use my CPAP if I use the DC cigarette lighter outlet plug. I can get through an entire night for eight hours using my CPAP and still have about 20% battery left while also charging an iPhone and an Apple Watch."

"This is probably the most versatile power bank you'll ever own. I even set it up to run the TV, DirecTV DVR, two lamps and the Wi-Fi router for over four hours. Comes in handy when you need 120vac to run a battery charger too far from house current, without breaking out the generator," gushed a final five-star fan.

Cons ??

Some users were not a fan of the fan noise that can occur when powering. Said one: "The really loud fan kicks on often, and it also makes odd sounds before the fan really runs."

"Just from charging you may hear the fans go on at full blast from time to time then it goes quiet," reported another. "I hope they fix these issues in future designs."
