Power outages are never fun, but they can be especially difficult in the winter when howling storms and cold weather make living without electricity especially difficult. But downed power lines don’t have to send you back to the 18th century: All you need is a portable power station to get you through the night. Now’s a great time to invest in one, as we’ve seen notable deals on power stations from PowerSmart, Bluetti, and Jackery ahead of the holidays, but Walmart just spun up another great deal on this 300-watt unit, and it's selling for less than $150.
The Qunler 300W Portable Power Station is on sale for $120, a 70% discount on its normal price of $400. This battery-powered unit is ideal for camping or as a backup during power outages, and Walmart shoppers have been really happy with it, with one reviewer specifically noting that it “stays charged for hours” even when powering a TV and DVD player.
This 300W power station is highly versatile, and it packs enough juice to run all kinds of devices. Its lithium-ion batteries can produce up to 600 watts of peak power (via the AC outlets), and it includes an array of safety tech to prevent electrical issues, including temperature control to prevent battery overheating, overvoltage, overcurrent protection, and short-circuit and overload detection (TLDR: If you overload this unit or wire things up incorrectly, it’ll alert you before a more serious issue arises). It’s built with a wide array of ports—like four AC outlets, two USB-A ports, and a USB-C port—to work with all kinds of devices, from TVs to laptops and more. It’s easy to charge up, too: Plug it into a normal AC outlet or charge it on the go using the included car cigarette lighter adapter. It’s also a snap to tote around—it weighs just 6.6 pounds and measures a tidy 8.1-by-8.5-by-5.9 inches.
Walmart shoppers report this unit hits the mark for reliable power and ease of use. “We had a power outage and we were able to have a fan, a light, and charge our phones and it barely used any of the charge,” a shopper said. Another reviewer agreed, simply saying, “Compact. Simple. Always ready when needed.”
“I am amazed and impressed with function and value,” said another reviewer. “Size is smaller than most car batteries and weighs less.”
With this Qunler Portable Power Station, you’ll have peace of mind that a power outage won’t leave you stranded with dead electronics. While watching TV during a snowstorm sounds great, this power backup isn’t just convenient, it could also be a lifesaver in an emergency. At just $120, investing in this handy device is a smart move, but act fast, because this limited-time clearance pricing won’t last long.
