This winter is looking rough, with one of the biggest winter storms hitting nearly half the U.S. this weekend. It’s safe to assume many people will be without power, especially those in cities without the proper infrastructure to take on record-breaking winter storms. A power station is a great device to keep the lights running in a pinch—and the standalone Anker SOLIX C1000 is 41% off, with the options with Solar Panels going for up to 56% off right now. Mashable voted the Anker SOLIX C1000 the best one for most people.
There are many different types of power stations, with portable ones being the most popular: You can take these camping, to tailgate parties, to help complete outdoor DIY projects, and of course, for emergencies.
The Anker SOLIX C1000 is a versatile power station and blends practicality and power, as you can read in Mashable’s review. It includes a companion Anker app that is user-friendly, with useful information about battery level and usage. It has a 1,056Wh power capacity, which is mid-tier when compared to other power stations, but it’s cheaper than others in that tier. You can keep things like lights, hairdryers, and CPAP machines going for hours. It’s also lightweight enough to carry around easily.
What do you think so far?
The USB-C power output maxes out at 100W, but you can always use the three-prong plugs for more power. The recharging is quick, and you can opt for one of the portable solar panels, which are also seeing significant discounts right now.
