A portable power station can be as helpful in an emergency as relaxing off-the-grid. While these mini generators tend to be an investment, one of our go-to brands is having a huge sale: From now through December 3, Bluetti’s Black Friday sale has up to half-off portable power stations. Plus, Bob Vila readers can take an extra 5 percent off at checkout with the offer code BOBVILA5. Dozens of power stations are featured in the sale, we’ve highlighted our top picks below.
Save $1,050 on a Bluetti AC200L Portable Power Station
For all the times you’re away from an electrical outlet or have lost power, the Bluetti AC200L Portable Power Station will cover all the basics and then some. With a 2,048 Wh capacity and 2,400W output, this power station can recharge a smartphone over 300 times and a 100Wh laptop 46 times, ensuring connection during emergencies—or the ability to work remotely over a weekend. The AC200L can also keep small appliances and equipment going: a 150W mini-fridge for more than 30 hours or a 40W CPAP machine for 115+ hours. It’s flexible enough to power multiple gadgets at a time, thanks to its four 120V AC outlets; two USB-C ports; two USB-A ports; one 48V DC/8A (RV) outlet; and one 12V/10A (car) outlet.
The power station recharges to 80 percent capacity from an AC outlet in 45 minutes and reaches full capacity in 1.5 hours. Or, connect solar panels (sold separately) and recharge the pack on the go. In optimal sunlight, the AC200L can fully recharge via a solar panel in 2.5 hours.
Need more power? Good news: Compatible battery expansion packs make it easy to scale up. Add the Bluetti B230 Expansion Battery and gain an extra 4,096 Wh, or connect two Bluetti B300 Expansion Battery packs to get up to a whopping 8,192 Wh. All are on sale for Black Friday.
What we love most: The Black Friday sale has the Bluetti AC200L down to a record-low price, and Bob Vila readers save even more. Right now it’s only $999, at a $1,000 discount. Add the BOBVILA5 offer code at checkout and save another $50.

Plus, Save $900+ on a Home Battery Backup
For a power station that can integrate into the home, check out the on-sale AC300+B300K. This home battery backup from Bluetti offers up to 3,000W AC output—about enough power for 1-day off-grid with your essential appliances. Run an air conditioner unit for nearly 3 hours or an electric hammer drill for a little longer. Electronics and appliances can plug directly into one of the power station’s six AC ports, five USB ports, or two car outlets. Or, choose a bundle that includes the Home Integration Kit (120V), starting at $2,398, and you can connect the system to your home’s main panel and maintain nearly uninterrupted service during an outage.
Like the portable power station mentioned above, it’s also expandable. An extra B300K could double your time off-grid while keeping the coffee flowing, the internet going, and even a dishwasher cycle. Use BOBVILA5 at checkout to take $80 off the already discounted price.
