REVIEW – Living in the middle of nowhere means that you have to be self-sufficient. While I don’t live off the grid, large storms can easily knock out my power for hours. It isn’t bad enough that I need a backup generator but I still need to be able to charge phones and lanterns while

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a handful of portable (and semi-portable) power stations over the years, and there are a couple of things I look for in a good power station now: good battery-to-price ratio ($1 per watt-hour of battery capacity has been the average going rate for a few years now), an informative display that

REVIEW – What a difference a few years can make. It seems like only yesterday that you couldn’t find battery power stations because … they didn’t exist. Then Jackery and others came along and made them a popular household item. Portable power stations are just so handy to have around. Plus, they fit any budget,
Togo Power Advance330 review – a funky little portable power station Read More
REVIEW – Despite how many years have gone by, I will never forget my ordeal during Hurricane Sandy in New York. During the 14 days that I spent without power, I really learned the lesson of making sure that I always have adequate power on standby for phones and to power radios, small fridges, etc.

REVIEW – Whether it’s due to a natural disaster or a choice to go somewhere off-grid, we sometimes find ourselves needing portable electricity.

Fanttik EVO 300 portable power station review – power for your next emergency or outing Read More
REVIEW – The world of power stations is one of choices: How many devices do you need to charge? How many watts will they pull? How long do you need them to run? If your answer to these was “quite a few”, “up to 1000 watts”, and “1 hour to multiple days depending on the

REVIEW – I previously reviewed EcoFlow products like the EcoFlow River Mini Portable Power Station and EcoFlow Delta Pro portable power station and found their products well-engineered, solidly made, and innovative. Adding to their already impressive specs, EcoFlow’s 110-Watt solar panel makes powering their equipment even in the most remote locations portable, efficient and

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a couple of power stations in the past, and I still have them. The problem is that you most often need power in several places during a power outage, so having several is nice. The ISSOMI Power Station review offer came along, so I decided to try it out. I wanted
ISSOMI power station – bring the power with you! Read More
REVIEW – My son/co-reviewer has been wanting one of these for years. At first, it was for camping. Then as a power back-up for our house, when the power goes out. And most recently, for his car as an additional power source. I kept putting him off, thinking the idea was silly. But when we

SPONSORED NEWS – It all started with the EB150 and EB240 solar generators, Bluetti’s first products launched back in 2019. Approximately one year later, they released their flagship model the AC200 on Indiegogo (which was powered by NCA cells), as a crowdfunding campaign. This project pulled in nearly 7 million dollars in two months. Since
What makes BLUETTI’s solar generators last longer? – LiFePO4 battery cells Read More
REVIEW – I’ve seen portable power stations with lead acid batteries. They’re all pretty heavy! LiFePO4 batteries are more commonplace, and a quick Amazon search will turn up many. Today I’m trying out a 500 watt-hour power station from ITEHIL with a matching solar panel. What is it? The ITEHIL 500Wh Portable Power Station can

REVIEW – As long-time (well, the past 4 years) readers may remember, in addition to my day job and my duties as a reviewer for The Gadgeteer, I am actively involved with the Boy Scouts.

REVIEW – We’ve been reviewing a lot of power stations lately here at The Gadgeteer, including models from Oupes, OKMO, and Puleida. Whenever you look through the marketing material for these stations, they always have pictures of people camping. While that is a fine use for one of these gadgets, we have a somewhat different
Jackery Explorer 300 review – a rugged yet practical portable power station Read More
REVIEW – It’s weird reviewing a small portable power station right after testing a monster power generator—the Generark HomePower 2 power station. But if you’re serious about being able to weather storms (pun intended), then smaller generators can be as useful as their larger, more powerful cousins. Sometimes, you just need something you can easily

REVIEW – We’ve written about a number of power stations here at The Gadgeteer. The legions of gadget-faithful rely on power to keep the geeky goodness up and running, and in the event of a power outage, these power stations can provide those much-needed electrons for the nerd accouterments.
