Don’t Buy a Power Plant During an Emergency, Buy It When It’s on Sale for 50% Off (Like Right Now).
Like much of the eastern US this winter, I experienced several heavy snowfalls with freezing rain. Now that I’ve seen what can happen in any winter, I wasted no time in buying myself a portable power station. Now’s the perfect time, as the Anker SOLIX C1000 portable power station is on sale for 50% off for $397 (original price: $799). This is the lowest price ever, according to price tracking tools .
Many people in my city had to endure subzero temperatures without power. Luckily, our power didn’t go out, but I still had to prepare for the worst. I decided to finally delve into the world of power plants and was surprised to learn that some of them can power refrigerators. The Anker SOLIX C1000 can power a refrigerator for approximately 32 hours, depending on its size. This could be the difference between losing all the food in your refrigerator during a power outage or feeding your entire family.
Anker power stations are among the best on the market. Like most high-end power stations, they come with optional accessories, such as solar panels or additional batteries, which can be purchased separately if you need a longer-lasting or more eco-friendly option in the future. They also have a great app that tracks energy consumption and allows you to customize the battery’s output. As Mashable’s review notes, they’re also a versatile tool that can be taken on camping trips to power TVs, cookware, phones, and more.
Having your own home power plant is worth the cost. If you’re considering buying one, buy now while the 50% discount is on, not before the next storm.
