It goes without saying that hurricane season brings its fair share of inclement weather and power outages. (In fact, I’m writing this very story in the midst of an all-day rainstorm down in the South.) So, when I saw that this Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 Portable Power Station was on sale on Amazon, my interest was immediately piqued.
This power station is made by a popular, reviewer-loved brand, and it boasts a 4.6-out-of-5-star rating from hundreds of shoppers. Here’s why I’m seriously considering adding it to my cart.
This high-capacity power station has a total output of 2200W and a massive 2042Wh capacity. It includes three AC ports, which can power appliances like fridges, coffee makers and microwaves. It also has multiple USB-C ports for charging phones, laptops and other electronic devices, as well as a USB-A port and a DC 12V 10A port. You can charge the Jackery Explorer from zero to 80% in as little as 66 minutes, and its LiFePo4 battery lasts up to 10 years.
At nearly 40 pounds, the Jackery Explorer will require some upper body strength to move around, but the carrying handle makes the task much easier. And since it’s a power station as opposed to a generator, it’s a more eco-friendly alternative to gas-powered devices that create fumes, and it’s safe to use indoors.
Reviewers are calling the Jackery Explorer a “portable powerhouse,” praising its long battery life and super quiet noise level while in operation. “Great for power backup, excellent in an emergency,” says one reviewer.
“Very versatile when the power goes out,” another shopper writes. “This model has been a lifesaver so I can keep working with my computer and drives during outages. Also charges phones and iPads!”
So, if you (like me) could use an extra backup for your next power outage, or even if you’ve got a camping trip coming up and want some juice for your phone or laptop, then snag this Jackery power station while it’s nearly half off!
