It's been a grueling winter for most of the country with the kind of weather that makes you think twice about emergency preparedness. Between snow-related outages and wildfires, many folks are finally springing to get a portable power station.

"Best money I ever spent." No matter the situation, being without power is scary and daunting. Whether you are camping, traveling, or lose electricity during a storm, it's important to have a backup power source.

Amazon has dropped the price to just $169, down from its regular $259 price tag. This 35% discount ($90 off) represents one of the best values we’ve seen for a portable power station of this capacity. For perspective, this brings the cost per watt-hour down to less than 60 cents, making it one of the most affordable options in its class.
