Why is it a good deal? 💰

This Prime-exclusive discount is pretty epic. Members get this top-notch power station for $188 when they apply the on-page coupon, which is an all-time low, according to our trackers. And peace of mind when the power goes out is priceless: You won't have to worry about missing important calls or watching the battery slowly drain on your laptop. You can even power a mini-fridge so essential foods don't spoil.

Why do I need this? 🤔

The Bluetti Power Station is equipped with a 600-watt inverter as well as a 268-watt-hour battery pack. There are nine total outlets, which is great for multiple reasons — but mainly because you can charge more than one device, and one type of device, at a time.

Despite all its functionality, this power station isn't overly bulky. The Bluetti weighs just over 10 pounds but is only 10 x 7.1 x 7.2 inches — small enough to be tucked into the back of a vehicle or a closet until it's needed. It's ideal for use in emergencies, but you can also take it along for just for a bit of extra power on camping trips or road trips.

According to Bluetti, this power station can keep a mini fridge going for three hours, recharge a phone 20 times or keep you warm with an electric blanket for just under two hours. It also recharges to 80% in just half an hour for when you need power fast. Its power supply is uninterruptible, which makes it a great option for powering computers.

What reviewers say 💬

Whether you need backup power for outages or you like to camp with fully charged gadgets, over 3,000 shoppers give this handy helper five stars.

Pros 👍

"I'm so glad I ordered this when I did, as it provided much-needed power during Hurricane Ian outages," shared a rave reviewer. "It charged quickly using the main power adapter when I first unboxed the unit (and already had approx. 60% charge) and provided plenty of power to keep phones charged when the power went out."

"I do have to say I'm quite impressed with this little beast," one user said. "I needed something for camping and to be able to use my CPAP if I use the DC cigarette lighter outlet plug. I can get through an entire night for eight hours using my CPAP and still have about 20% battery left while also charging an iPhone and an Apple Watch."

"This is probably the most versatile power bank you'll ever own," raved another five-star fan. "I even set it up to run the TV, DirecTV DVR, two lamps and the Wi-Fi router for over four hours. Comes in handy when you need 120vac to run a battery charger too far from house current, without breaking out the generator."

This shopper raved, "The fast charge is amazing! It does get a little loud from the fan but who cares, all the other brand units take like six-plus hours to charge, this one is approximately one hour! In a power outage situation, that is game-changing. I can recharge in my car (car charger sold separately) and be up and running in no time."

Cons 👎

Some users aren't wild about the app that goes with it. "The app is kinda required to get the full potential of the device, which has its pros and cons," said one. "Some users might find it annoying."

"How you interact with it without the app can get kind of confusing if you are dumb like me," admitted this four-star reviewer. "The app allows you to change certain settings, and while it's nice, I wish there was more to configure within the app such as setting a charge limit, or maybe configuring how long you want the screen on the power station to remain on. That being said, the app is more of a nice-to-have."
