Just plug it in for a recharge, or buy a compatible solar panel to juice it up away from outlets. (Walmart)
Losing power can be a stressful scramble, but with the new year around the corner, it's the perfect time to get prepared. Whether you're bracing for winter storms or gearing up for an off-the-grid camping trip, there's good news: The Qunler 200W Portable Power Station is on sale at Walmart for just $90 — that's half off its regular price of $180. Compact yet powerful, this handy gadget ensures you'll have all the juice you need, even when you're suddenly in the dark or miles away from an outlet.
If you want to save a little on an Apple wearable, the Series 10 is still worth the investment. It boasts an always-on Retina display and comes with useful features like ECG apps, a fitness tracker and more. And while the Series 11 has just been released, it sports the same processor, same design and nearly all of the same features. In other words, you're getting the bulk of the 2025 Apple Watch here, but at the 2024 discount.
"I upgraded from a Series 5," said this watch wearer. "The battery life is phenomenal, I can literally go two days without charging. When I do have to charge it, it's full in about 30 minutes. The price is on par for the quality. The health sensors are nice. I know I have sleep apnea and never got around to taking care of it. The watch notified me after about a month of use and provides data to bring in to the doctor's office."
With nine ports and a built-in flashlight that "lights up a whole room," this power station will keep you going on even the stormiest days.
This is a highly versatile power bank that can be helpful in daily situations or even in emergencies, and that's worth it on its own — but the 50% discount doesn't hurt, either.
Let us count the ways ... err, reasons. For starters, it's only 3.3 pounds. That's incredibly light for something so versatile. It's easy to pack if you're going camping and can be lifted easily. It has a built-in flashlight with two different emergency modes (SOS and flashing) and a continuous light mode that can last up to 60 hours on a full charge.
What's even more impressive is that you can power up to nine different devices simultaneously. It has two AC outlets, one USB-C port, one 18-watt fast-charge port, two USB-A ports, and three 12-volt DC ports. And if the power bank gets low, you can charge it up through any AC outlet in your home, from your car, or with a solar panel (not included).
An integrated battery management system protects the power supply from getting too hot or building up too much charge, and two fans help further regulate the heat while in use. The power station is rated for 1,339 charge cycles, so you'll have this for the long haul.
Over 300 shoppers have given the portable power station a powerful five-star review for its portability and utility. It's "small but mighty," said one.
A lot of reviewers mentioned how useful it was while camping, but this sums it up best: "This is a workhorse. Fully charged, then plugged in two phones a small fan, and a lamp. Battery still had juice at two days and then some."
Another user praised the power station for its ability to keep medical supplies on. "I feel so safe now that I bought this portable power station. I use a CPAP as well as oxygen at night, and in Missouri, many storms cause power outages. Now I can plug into my new power station and sleep without worries."
Another backed this up: "Absolutely love this item. Great for camping trips or power outages. I can even recharge it in my car. Best gadget I've gotten for USB and regular plug-in charging. The flashlight is also great to leave on during an outage; it lights up the whole room."
One shopper who lives in Maine said, "I used it for the last three days with no power. I used this to power my iPad, phone and other devices for more than 24 hours and was at 30% charge."
One reviewer lamented the lack of an included solar panel. "You need to buy the solar panel separately, which is a pain in the neck, honestly. I would have been willing to pay more to have it included or at least be given the option to add it to the purchase when buying it."
Another pointed out: "I find it annoying because you can't use the device and charge it at the same time."
