If you spend a lot of time outdoors (or just like to be prepared for anything), you know the value of having a reliable power source. Not everyone needs a whole-home generator, but a portable power station is a convenient alternative and a smart investment. While the popular Jackery Explorer 1000 comes with a hefty price tag, Amazon is offering 41 percent off right now thanks to a coupon, which is a pretty steep discount for the device.

The Explorer 1000 is a workhorse, and we named it the best portable power station that mixes size and power. Take it camping to run a coffee maker, lights, and an electric grill, all while charging everyone’s phones. In your RV, it can power a television, box fans, laptops, and even a refrigerator. When the electricity goes out at home, it keeps essential devices and appliances turned on (up to eight at a time).
Easy to set up and use, the portable power station takes about 5 hours of being plugged in to reach a full charge. A car’s cigarette lighter outlet works too, although that will take 11 hours. What makes this power station a standout, though, is the solar panel option, which charges your Jackery in about 6 hours. Note that it’s sold separately (but you can also buy the solar panel and power station as a bundle).
Eight plug-in options include two USB ports, two USB-C ports, a single DC 12-volt plug, and three regular AC plugs. The whole system delivers up to 1000 watts of power, so as long as whatever you’re charging doesn’t exceed this limit, you’re good to go. (For perspective, the average laptop uses about 55 watts per day.) Also nice: You can use the Jackery to power devices even while it’s charging itself. It only weighs 22 pounds, and the loudest it gets is around 45 decibels–the sound of a quiet library.
As for versatility, take it from this Amazon reviewer who put the Jackery Explorer 1000 to the test: “I plugged in my 52 qt DC powered fridge freezer and let it run almost 3 days in freezer mode. It ran without a single error. Now that is impressive… I even connected two sump pumps, each with 3 HP electric motors at the same time. Everything I threw at the Jackery 1000 ran without problems.”
This is one of the biggest discounts we’ve seen on the Explorer 1000—get yours now while the $350 coupon is still available. If that one isn’t what you’re looking for, we rounded up a few more portable power stations that are also on sale right now.
