This impressive 1,600-watt power station is 37% off... for now.

Inclement weather can cause outages, and having a portable power station to keep devices powered up even when you're off the grid and without immediate access to power is a solid investment. If you're looking for a deal, the EcoFlow River 2 Pro is a great choice. It was formerly our pick as the best budget portable power station, and it's down to just $379 at Amazon right now. That means you'll save $220 off the original $599 asking price, but this offer likely won't stick around for long.

The EcoFlow River 2 Pro is already affordable as far as portable power stations go, and now it's even lower. Although it's been replaced as our favorite budget pick in recent times, it's still a capable power station and this price tag makes it an even better value. The battery is rated at 768 watt-hours, and in our testing, it was able to use 82.6% of the battery's capacity. It was also able to charge fully in just over an hour, which means you can top it up in a pinch and get a lot of power backup. Our current pick, the Bluetti AC70, is currently $379 as well, so you can't really go wrong either way.

If you've been considering getting a power station to keep your tech-powered on the go, or just to stay connected through power outages, grab this deal before it expires.
