I don’t want to sound alarmist or anything (although I admit I’m naturally pessimistic), but the way things are going, it’s a good idea to have an extra source of power for your home in case of storms and other outages. Luckily, EcoFlow is running a sale through March 26th, letting you save on several of its portable batteries and power stations. For example, the Delta Pro 3 is a scalable power unit that can power everything from a family picnic to an entire home during a blackout. It’s on sale at Amazon for $2,899, which is $700 off its usual $3,699 list price and the best price we’ve seen to date.

Our reviewer was very impressed with the Delta Pro 3, especially its versatility. It has the ability to power both 120V and 240V appliances, and can plug directly into your home’s circuit using an inlet box or manual transfer switch. It can be charged using 1000W and 16000 solar inputs or an AC wall charger, among other charging methods. And you can link multiple DP3 units together to increase their output, so that, say, three units connected to an EcoFlow Smart Home Panel 2 (which is also on sale at Amazon for $1,399, or $500 off) can provide enough power to keep a typical home running for a day and a half.

On the other hand, if you’re just looking for something to use when camping or enjoying additional outdoor activities, EcoFlow’s River 3 Portable Power Station is down to $189 (from $338) at Amazon with a 45W solar panel, which nearly matches its all-time low. It can quickly charge appliances with anywhere from a 300W to 600W AC output, and uses its own solar panel to completely repower it in a little over six hours. That means you can place it in the sun while you’re hiking around and use it to power your games at night.

$2893

EcoFlow’s new portable solar generator can scale to power your entire home during a blackout, a van or RV’s electrical system, or a party at the beach.

More deals to keep you entertained

If you’ve been thinking seriously about treating yourself with Apple’s latest iPad, now is the time: Amazon is already selling the 11-inch, 128GB device in yellow for $328.86, an approximate $20 discount (you can also get the blue, pink, and silver models for slightly more). The new base-model iPad is equipped with an A16 chip and 12-megapixel cameras on the front and back, but does not come with Apple Intelligence, which could be a distinct disadvantage. However, if that feature isn’t important to you, it’s definitely worth looking at.
The Solo 3 are neither the latest nor the greatest headphones from Beats, but Walmart is selling the black model for $99, a $100 discount from their usual $199 price. If you want something more colorful, but still want to save a bit of cash, the rose gold and red models are available for $114.99 at Amazon. Our reviewer found the sound quality of the Solo 3, which are especially geared toward iPhone owners, good but not subtle, however, if your tastes veer toward the loud and unsubtle, you may want to give them a try.

If you’re in the market for a high-end Android phone, before you go for a Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel, you may want to consider the new OnePlus 13, which got an enthusiastic write-up from our reviewer, who called it “a damn good phone,” with excellent battery life, a 6.82-inch screen, an IP69 rating, and a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. It’s currently on sale at Best Buy and OnePlus for $849.99, a $50 discount. Read our review.
