One of my favorite portable power stations is on sale right now - and it's well worth a look if you need reliable off-grid power for your home or work. The Anker Solix C1000 Gen 2, now $470 (was $799) at Amazon.
When we tested the Solix C1000, we awarded it 4.5 stars out of a possible 5, and called it "a reliable and robust portable power station with high energy capacity and versatility."
Since first finding this deal, I've updated the deal price, which has risen from $429 to $470. But it's still such a great deal for a power station that earned 4.5 stars out of 5 in our review.

In our review we described the Anker Solix C1000 as "powerful, has a great port offering, is super easy to use in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-only environments, is expandable, and so much more. If you're looking for a portable power station, check out the Solix C1000 as a baseline at a minimum of what you should be looking for."
In practical terms, its output is enough to keep essentials like lights, Wi-Fi routers, laptops, CPAP machines, refrigerators, and small kitchen appliances running during an outage.
With 10 output ports, it can power several devices at once without adapters or workarounds.
Recharging is fast enough that you’re not waiting around for hours. Using a wall outlet and Anker’s HyperFlash mode, it can go from dead to full in just 49 minutes, with the setting enabled through the Anker app.
For off-grid use, it supports up to 600W of solar input and can fully recharge in around 1.8 hours in good conditions, making it practical for camping, RV use, or remote setups.
The LiFePO4 battery is rated for 4,000 cycles while still retaining at least 80% of its original capacity, which works out to roughly 10 years of regular use.
It’s also smaller and lighter than many comparable 1kWh power stations, making it easier to carry, store, or move from room to room.
With features like a sub-10ms UPS switchover for sensitive electronics and app-based power management, this is a fantastic backup option that works just as well at home as it does outdoors.
