REVIEW – We recently lost power for three days due to a big storm. Fortunately, a friend let us borrow a generator that saved all of the food in our fridge/freezer, and we used some small battery chargers for our phones. Since then, we’ve been thinking about a portable power option for our electronics, a […]

REVIEW – Portable charging devices can come in a lot of sizes and prices. They are incredibly useful in providing that extra bit of charge for power-hungry smartphones, tablets, or laptops.

REVIEW – We’ve never reviewed any portable power stations here at The Gadgeteer before, so I jumped at the chance to review the BLUETTI EB70S. -You know I jest.- We’ve actually reviewed a bunch of these large, portable, power-boxes, but this is MY first. BLUETTI is a brand I knew, and I was eager to

REVIEW – The first thing that came to mind when I saw that Anker had come out with a power station was, “It’s about time!” I mean seriously, Anker has been at the forefront of small to mid-sized power backups that I and many others have used and trusted for … ever. Over the past

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,

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. For whatever situation you’re in, the Fanttik EVO 300 Portable Power Station can give you power for a good long time – at least, that’s what the marketing material states. I was
