Living on the east coast of southern Virginia has its advantages. Being minutes from the beach and having actual summers is great, but the "hurricane-prep" lifestyle is very real. One bad gust of wind and the whole neighborhood is in the dark for the foreseeable future, which is why having a way to keep the fridge and AC running is the only way to weather the storm.
As of Jan. 14, you can get the Bluetti Apex 300 portable power station for $1,499, down from $2,399 at Amazon. That's a 38% discount or $900 in savings.
The Bluetti Apex 300 is tiny but mighty, which is exactly why we ranked it best for whole-home backup. It can handle 120V and 240V output at the same time and has enough kick to run a full-sized fridge, an AC unit, or even an EV charger without needing a box full of adapters.
It comes with 2,764.8Wh of capacity built in, and if you’re worried about being off the grid for a few days, you can chain it with extra batteries to get up to 58,000Wh (that's enough to keep an entire house powered for about a week). It also charges from 0 to 80 percent in about 45 minutes, which is huge when you see a storm warning and only have a short window to top things off.
It weighs 84 pounds, so you aren't going to be moving it around on a whim. But with a battery designed to last about 17 years, it’s exactly what you want sitting in the garage when the wind starts picking up.
