Between knotty storms and brutal heat, current failures were common this spring and summer here in New York. Consequently, my assortment of portable power plants and solar generators was regularly used. Currently, Bluetti has just about all the portable power plants it makes for the lowest price of the season. They tend to go out out of stock or backwards once the storm season really beat, so take one now and take it when you need it. You do not need to be a trainer to appreciate the electricity when the grid is broken.

It’s a big size if you just want to keep[ some essential devices alive when the grid goes down, or you want to take it camping. It’s smaller than a typical cooler and weighs just 22.5 pounds. But, its 768Wh capacity is enough to power critical devices like CPAP machines and fully recharge smartphones, tablets, and laptops. I have used a solar generator this size to keep my internet connection running because the people need deals whether the grid is working or not.

It offers a pair of typical AC outlets, two USB-A ports, and two USB-C ports. The DC out makes it great for RV living or camping. Plus, this is a newer LiFePO4 battery, which lasts much longer than the older lithium ion models, even with very regular use.

If you just want something to keep all of your devices up and running, this compact model is a great way to do it on the cheap. It weighs less than eight pounds and includes a total of eight outlets: a pair of AC outlets, three USBs, and a DC out. It charges up quickly and stores easily with your emergency or camping gear.

This 54-pound model offers a ton of capacity for powering larger devices. Built-in handles make it relatively easy to lug around. There are four AC outlets on the front, as well as four USB ports. Deals on this model only typically last a few days, so if you want one of these for cheaper than its $1,699 regular price, don’t sleep on it.
