power station

REVIEW – The TrekPow portable power pack I reviewed performs well for small loads when extension cords are impractical. But what if you need more power over longer periods? The VTOMAN Jump 1800 with solar panel, extended battery, and jump starter might be just your thing. I have one to review; read on to see

REVIEW – It seems like two or three times a year we lose power.  Thunderstorms, hurricanes, or high winds knock down trees and power lines, and suddenly everything in the house is off.  When these sorts of events happen, it would be nice to have some way to keep the computers, refrigerators, and other important

REVIEW – I have many power stations in various sizes. However, I didn’t have what I call a small power station. When the Aaoyun Portable Power Station came along, I knew it had the potential to be my favorite small portable power station because it had one particular feature. Read on to find out what

REVIEW –  Portable power options have blossomed over the past few years. No longer are the primary options just gas generators. The Pecron E1000LFP came up for review and I wanted to see how it stacked up against similar power stations I’ve seen. It looked like it met the sweet spot for me in size

REVIEW – Hurricane Helene left us without power for a couple of days.  When we lose power, there are two primary things that we want:  to recharge our cell phones and keep the refrigerator running.  Any size power station can do the former, but it takes a larger one to do the later.  Of course,

REVIEW – Hurricane Helene passed through town last fall and left us without any power. At times like this, it’s important to have a backup source of power for things like running a fan, turning on the TV to get local news, or recharging anything with a battery.  I’m testing out a medium-sized power station,

REVIEW – Here I go again. Everyone already knows that I am an Ecoholic, so expressing my joy and anticipation as I get to review another EcoFlow power station would be repetitive. Ecoflow power stations are simply what I believe to be the industry standard for these types of devices. So, without further delay, let’s

REVIEW – I have a 56V leaf blower that’s been working great for a few years but the battery is starting to go and replacement battery prices made me do a double take. I was contemplating what to do when BLUETTI asked me to review their new AC180P 1,440Wh portable power station and I got

REVIEW – Power stations are convenient gadgets for providing extra power any time I’m off the grid for a while, whether camping, picnicking, or whatever.  Smaller ones, like the FlashSpeed 300, can easily recharge phones and computers or provide power for lights and fans.  Rated at 300 watts, this power station is limited in what

REVIEW – Portable power stations are a dime a dozen, and most are relatively similar in terms of design and capability.  BLUETTI has evolved their lineup with their latest offering in the Elite 200 V2, which has impressive output and capacity while being incredibly efficient in terms of size and power delivery.  This is the

REVIEW – I have lived in Florida for almost my entire life. One thing I’ve never gotten used to is the hurricane season and the power outages that come with it. Thankfully, we’ve never had a devastating storm wipe us out like many in our state. We’ve talked about getting a whole-home generator in every

REVIEW – In our modern world, it seems we cannot get by without a battery charger for very long. Whether it’s for your smartphone, camera, GPS unit, or a CPAP unit to treat your sleep apnea, most of us need power in order to live our lives, even if we’re “roughing it” on a camping

REVIEW – My preferred non-airline travel behavior with respect to charging my electronic devices, be it a phone, watch, tablet, and computer, is to make sure I have the necessary charging cables, a decent-sized power bank supporting both USB-A & USB-C, and some way to charge the power bank, preferably with USB-C, and a charging
