SAVE 20%: Mashable's pick for the best camping power station is down to its lowest price ever. As of March 30, you can get the EF EcoFlow River 3 Plus for $239.20 at Amazon, down from $299.
Amazon's Big Spring Sale is almost over, but the retailer is still sneaking in a few record-low markdowns. Right now, you can grab the EF EcoFlow River 3 Plus for just $239.20, down from $299 (the lowest we've ever seen it). Since this is an active Lightning Deal, you'll need to move fast before it's gone — once it's fully claimed, the price goes right back up.
Pro tip: If you're stocking up on EcoFlow gear today, Amazon is also running a promo where you get a free item if you spend over $600 on qualifying products.
Mashable's power station expert, Lauren Allain, says the EcoFlow River 3 Plus is the best portable power station for camping. Because it weighs just over 10 pounds and features a built-in handle, you won't throw your back out hauling it to your tent. Spec-wise, you're looking at a 286Wh battery with three standard AC outlets. It delivers a steady 600W but can surge to 1200W for more demanding appliances.
It's also super practical for everyday home use. You can fully recharge it from a standard wall outlet in just an hour. Plus, it runs at a whisper-quiet 30 decibels and works as an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) — meaning it'll keep your WiFi router or desktop alive if the grid suddenly goes down.
