REVIEW – If you’re in an area that gets occasional power outages, having backup power options on hand might be worth the investment.  Even better, if you can find something that can serve in a dual role as a power station and on-demand battery backup for sensitive equipment.  We’re looking at the ALLPOWERS 1500 to […]

REVIEW – Most people know what to look for in a portable power station. The technology is starting to level off between manufacturers. Things like using LiFePO4 batteries, super fast recharging, USB-C ports, and apps for your phone are all becoming more normal and expected. To separate itself, Anker has developed the SOLIX C800 Plus

REVIEW – Our modern society revolves around electrical power. Over the last few years, many companies have come out with portable power units. Recently, OUPES has come out with its Mega 2 Power Station, and it has all four things that I find make the perfect power station. What is it? The OUPES Mega 2

REVIEW – Recently, Goal Zero released three new portable power stations: the Yeti 300, 500, and 700. Each provides—you guessed it—appx. 300, 500, and 700-watt hours of power using the newer LiFePO4 battery technology—more on that later in the review. A few years ago, this announcement would have been big news. Today—not so much because

REVIEW – I’ve noticed a couple of trends in the power station product category over the last few years that I’m excited about: LiFePO4 battery chemistry (for longer lifespans), faster charging (both through solar and AC inputs), and UPS functionality (the ability to use the power station as a backup emergency power source with items

REVIEW – If you’re looking for power stations in the 1000-2000 Wh range, there’s a huge range of options so you’ll probably be looking most closely at factors like longevity, port selection, and cost. One of the features I have rarely seen so far is the inclusion of a high-amperage RV style port, but today

REVIEW – Power is paramount these days, but portability can be a problem.  In the past several years, portable power solutions in various shapes, sizes, and capacities have exploded onto the market. A recent addition to this product space is the Anker SOLIX C1000 Portable Power Station.  Let’s check it out! What is it? The

REVIEW – I recently reviewed the ALLPOWERS S2000 Pro Portable Power Station, which is a good all-around power station without any glaring faults. ALLPOWERS also sent the S2000 non-Pro for review, so I also tested it out, and the big question is whether or not it’s worth saving $100 over the Pro version or not,

REVIEW – It would be ridiculous if they weren’t so useful. I’m referring to the mind-boggling selection of power stations available today. Large, small, and everything in between, power stations deliver juice in spades to our power-hungry gadgets. This review covers the Ugreen PowerRoam 2200 Portable Power Station. It’s big, it’s heavy, it’s powerful and

REVIEW – After suffering a power outage for a day and a half from a freak snowstorm in October, I decided I would pick up another portable power station. The VTOMAN Jump 1500X Portable Power Station review offer came along, and although it wasn’t exactly what I wanted, I ended up taking them up on

REVIEW – Five years ago, I reviewed my first power station, the Jackery Explorer 240. In those five short years, it’s become clear that we’ve come a long way. Today, there are countless makers of small—and large—power stations and Bluetti is at or near the top. While they make massively powerful stations (some can power

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed so many power stations so far that differentiating them can sometimes become difficult: there’s only so many variations in the 1000-2000 Wh power station category. However, the OUKITEL BP2000 Home Battery Backup caught my eye because it’s advertised as specifically a home backup battery solution, and not just another standard portable
