Update 10/10/24: Maybe the real journey was the deals we bought along the way. Most of the best generator deals have ended, but a couple good ones remain.
Amazon Prime’s Big Deal Days sales has come and gone, but there are some lingering deals. One item in particular that you might be interested in if you have a lot of tech is a portable power station. These stations hold power for your laptops, phones, and more wherever you are, effectively giving you an outlet to go. From Jackery to Ecoflow, you’ll find something to like, too. Pair one with your Big Deal Days TV deal for a day of entertainment out in the woods or your Big Deal Days Dell laptop deal to have an outside office day. While most power stations that you’ll find at this time will come from Amazon, we’ll also be checking out competing deals at the time, so if we find a better deal among Best Buy Big Deal Days offers, we’ll be sure to point it out. Here’s the best of what’s going on now.
If you’re a backpacker and are looking for a relatively light portable power station, then this 60,000mAh one from Anker is the way to go. Not only does it have a pop-out light for night-time, it even has a smart display so you can monitor it’s charge levels. It also has a nice little 7% discount on it, which isn’t big, but it was already a great buy beforehand.
The EF EcoFlow Delta 2 Max may not be the sort of portable power station you can carry in one hand, but if you’re going camping with a vehicle, this is a great device to have along. It has a 2048Wh capacity, many plugs to work with, and a nice screen to see everything, plus you can pair more than one of these together. More impressively, though, is the massive 31% discount, so if you’ve ever wanted one, now is the time to grab it.
With all of the portable power stations that are on sale for Prime Day, choosing the one to buy may look like an impossible task. However, we’re here to help you with your decision, which should begin with the brand. Since this device deals with electricity, dependability and safety are of utmost importance, so you’re going to want to stick to tried-and-tested brands in the portable power station space such as Anker, EcoFlow, Jackery, and Bluetti. You wouldn’t want to buy a portable power station that suddenly doesn’t work when you really need it, or worse, one that will put you or your loved ones in danger.
There are several characteristics that you should take a look at when choosing a portable power station. First and foremost, you’re going to have to determine the capacity that you need. In general though, you should get the highest capacity that you can afford. You should also take a look at the charging outputs of the portable power station, which may include AC outlets, USB-A ports and USB-C ports, to make sure that they’ll work with your devices. Charging inputs may also be a factor, especially if you’re planning to charge the device using solar panels, and if you’re thinking about using your portable power station outdoors, water resistance and weatherproofing would be important to protect them from the elements.
The primary goal of our recommendations for Prime Day portable power station deals is to make sure that you get the most value for your hard-earned money, so we made sure that we’ve highlighted devices that are worth buying. We picked portable power stations made by different manufacturers, with budget-friendly to premium prices, and with a variety of features, so that there will be options for everyone.
Amazon is not the only source of discounts for portable power stations during Prime Day, as competitors such as Best Buy and Walmart have also launched discounts of their own to try to draw traffic to their websites. That’s good news for shoppers, because that means prices will keep getting lower as the retailers try to keep up with each other. The offers that we’ve featured above are the lowest prices for these portable power stations across all websites, and we’ll keep checking as Prime Day progresses to make sure that you’ll be able to get them with the biggest savings possible.
Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.
Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.
With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.
Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
