power station

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 […]

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

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

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.

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

REVIEW – Travel chargers are all the rage these days.  The progressively smaller and more powerful chargers are getting all the press.  But what about those of us that need to charge stuff at our desks?  No love for us?  RAVPower has heard the call and responded with their new 4-port desktop charging station. What

REVIEW – Nomad has created a similar look and feel with all their products and the Base Staion line of products is no exception. The new Base Station Mini certainly takes its cue from previous versions while defining its own diminutive footprint that looks classy on any desk. Their 20w USB-C Power Adapter fits right

REVIEW – It is difficult to go through a day without needing some electrically powered or rechargeable device. When off the grid, be it intentionally while camping or involuntarily during a power outage, the TrekPow portable power station can keep these devices going. I have one to review. Read on to see what I think!

REVIEW – It seems like every few months we’re reminded of the fragility of our modern infrastructure with events like earthquakes, winter storms in Texas, pandemics, and other disasters.  The Bluetti AC200P 2000Wh/2000W Portable Power Station is an option for emergency battery backup, and on paper it would also be great for RV/cabin use or

REVIEW – It is the time of the year when the winter season is ramping up in the North East of the United States. I live near the ocean and power outages are par for the course. Having endured the outages for over 2 decades, I know the value of having a few powerful/capable Power

REVIEW – I’m always on the lookout for new ways to keep my gear powered when off the grid camping and to have backup power during hurricane season here in Florida. The RAVPower RP-PB187 Portable Power Station provides AC power, USB power, and a barrel plug that delivers 12V power which should cover most of

REVIEW – In my daily life, power is everything. I’m constantly in need of power, whether it’s my cell phone, laptop, or camera. Can the SNUGMAX Vickers 200 Portable Power Station keep up with my needs? Let’s find out! What is it? The SNUGMAX Vickers 200 is a portable power station with a 222Wh backup

REVIEW – In today’s world, it is hard to find people who are usually on the go not carrying around at least one mobile device. Folks like me carry several. Having a power source that is readily available and capable of charging multiple devices and/or recharging devices multiple times is fast becoming mandatory. The power
