This week isn't just about gearing up during Amazon's October Prime Day—Walmart has officially gone live with its Holiday Deals Event, hosting tons of amazing markdowns on outdoor gear like sleeping pads, camp kitchen essentials, and even easy-to-pitch tents. One of the standout discounts of the sale is on this renowned portable power station from EcoFlow, which is over 40% off and a must-have for fall camping.
EcoFlow’s River 2 Pro 700 Portable Power Station is now on sale at Walmart for $339—43% off of the retail price of $599. This powerful portable generator has satisfied many shoppers, with more than 250 five-star ratings from happy shoppers who have called it “a game changer for camping” and noted that it's “easy to use.”
Portable power stations have advanced quickly in the past few years—now they are lighter, more powerful, and faster-charging than ever before. This model is a great example of that. Weighing in at a mere 17 pounds, it boasts the “fastest charging in the industry,” claiming it can recharge fully in only 70 minutes when plugged into a household outlet, and only takes 3.5 hours with a 220-watt solar input. The unit can output up to 1,600 watts, which will let you run about 80% of all your appliances, even the high-wattage ones like toasters and hair dryers. It also has an impressive 10 outlets—including three AC outlets, one car output, two USB-A ports, one USB-C port, and one USB-A fast-charge port—for powering up a variety of devices.
The main thing shoppers love about this lightweight power station is the way it can power a whole host of devices. “This little guy will allow me to make coffee, heat water and plug in my single-burner stove,” one shopper said. Another said, “I plugged in various items such as an Xbox, TV, cell phones, and a laptop—handled them all like a champ!”
Other shoppers raved about the speed at which it recharged. One shopper said that it “charges up quickly…and the battery power is great.” Another satisfied customer echoed that, saying, “Most importantly, it holds an incredible charge, and never seems to run out.”
The proliferation of power-hungry devices and the increase in natural disasters have made a power station like this one indispensable, whether heading into the woods or preparing for a hurricane landing. They can be pricey though, which is why this high-quality unit from EcoFlow is such a great bargain—it’s a solid $260 off of the normal price, which means it’s going to sell fast, so make sure to jump on this powerful unit before it’s gone.
