I spent the first night of Prime Day without power. A typhoon came and destroyed the lines before I could finish charging my phone. Luckily, I’m testing the newest EF EcoFlow solar generator and it kept my phone on long enough to entertain myself and spend money buying old shirts on WhatNot. Today, Amazon is offering EF EcoFlow solar turbines at a heavily discounted price as part of the Prime Day sale. They are wonderful to have on hand in case of an emergency or when going on an off-grid adventure. There’s nothing better than camping with a margarita machine.
EF EcoFlow
At just $279, it’s a wonderful option if you just need to boost your devices when the network goes down for a while. It offers 4 AC outlets (two with 3 pins and two without), 3 USB-A ports and one USB-C. The built-in battery has enough power to power a computer up to seven times or a smartphone up to 41 times. This means everyone can keep their devices active at the same time. It only weighs 13. 3 pounds, making it easy to carry to the basement or shed when needed. You will be pleased to have this on hand.
