Generark HomePower 2 Backup Battery Power Station and SolarPower 2 review – an impeccably dressed monster

Generark HomePower 2 8

REVIEW – In late 2020, I reviewed the Generark HomePower One, a beast of a portable solar generator at 1000 watt-hours strong. I also chided Generark, because the HomePower One is a clone of the Japanese version of the Jackery Explorer 1000. That’s not a slight, because, with its fold-down handle, the Japanese Jackery is […]

Oupes 600W Portable Power Station review

Oupes 11

REVIEW – Have I been called a prepper?  Guilty.  I try to be super prepped for an earthquake, which is far and away the most likely natural disaster to hit Southern California.  When the Oupes power station came up for review, it was one piece of equipment that was missing from my kit, and I

Goal Zero Yeti 1000 Core Portable Power Station review – Power all the things!

GoalZero1000 Rev 072

REVIEW – In my never-ending quest to always be prepared for any eventuality I’ve accumulated quite a few portable power units. Large and small, these power packs are strewn about my apartment, stored in pockets and backpacks, or stashed away in bins patiently awaiting the apocalypse. None of the many battery packs I own though

OKMO 1000W portable power station review – Power that goes anywhere

OKMO G1000 1

REVIEW – Our power doesn’t go out very often here, but when it does, it’s very inconvenient because my wife and I both work from home. When the OKMO 1000W Portable Power Station review offer came along, I jumped at the chance to have a little backup power. What is it? The OKMO 1000W Portable

Puleida Portable Power Station review – Definitely portable and powers most things

Puleida power 12

REVIEW – We’ve been getting quite a few power stations sent to us for review here at The Gadgeteer lately. The Puleida Portable Power Station caught my eye because it was the antithesis of the last power station I reviewed (the massive Bluetti AC200P power station – which is most definitely not very portable). Puleida’s

Joyzis BR300 Portable Power Station review – Lots of power in a compact package

joyzis BR300 3

REVIEW – Camping. Backyard parties. Power outages. These and many other activities may require power for lights, speakers, music players, and who knows what else. You can run extension cords but they’re unsightly, people can trip over them, and in the case of a power outage, they might not even be an option. Enter the

BigBlue Cellpowa 500 6

REVIEW – Being able to power my several mobile devices off the grid has become very important to me. For the past 16 months, I have been working remotely, and having portable power allows me to sometimes leave the confines of my home office for some much-needed fresh air while maintaining my work responsibilities. Since

Jackery Explorer 1500 Portable Power Station review – Absolute power

REVIEW – When the Britisher Lord Acton famously said in the 1800s, “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely,” he obviously wasn’t referring to portable power stations—electricity wasn’t even in homes yet. However, today the opposite is true. Getting absolute power from portable power sources like the Jackery Explorer 1500 Portable Power Station corrupts nothing.

Pecron E1500 Portable Power Station review – Power to the people

Pecron 1500 17

REVIEW – Is it my imagination or are portable battery power stations becoming “a thing”? It seems like every week I see more and more ads or reviews on these large (and heavy) battery backups—and that’s a good thing! I live in Central Florida and each summer, we keep an eye on the weather radar

Mophie Powerstation Go Rugged with Air Compressor review – A portable battery with extra features

mophie powerstation go rugged air 16

REVIEW – About 20 years ago, I had one of those older lead-acid jump start battery packs. It was very heavy, but it saved the day more than once. It even had an air compressor on board! Newer jump start battery packs are much smaller with lithium batteries. Today I get to try one with

Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 1000 review

jackery SolarGenator1000 1 1

REVIEW – We live pretty far out in the sticks which definitely comes with its pluses and minuses. One of the biggest hassles being when the power goes out. Now I grant you this occasionally happens to everyone but one tree can take us off the grid for days, if not weeks at a time.

Kensington SD2500T hybrid nano docking station review – small powerhouse of a docking station

kingsington nanodock09

REVIEW – The Kensington hybrid nano docking station enters a crowded market of docking stations and hubs.  What sets it apart from the numerous other options?  My answer would be: it’s both a Thunderbolt™ 3 and USB-C dock, it takes up very little desk space compared to most, and Kensington has a reputation for quality

REVIEW – Power.  We all use it.  Cell phones, Bluetooth speakers, wireless headphones, laptops – the list goes on and on.  Usually, we need to be somewhere near a power outlet to keep our electronics happily powered.  There are a ton of small battery packs that can provide power for a recharge or two, but
