You can use power tools outdoors with a Bluetti power station – and they’re discounted for Black Friday

We test many products at Homes & Gardens, and they all need power to keep them running. Keeping every product hooked up to electricity can be tricky, especially when we’re reviewing power tools out in the yard, far away from any outlet.

That’s why Bluetti power stations are so useful. They offer remote power unconnected to your utilities, bringing electricity to anywhere you need. Whether you’re grilling, drilling, or just want to charge your phone, Bluetti power stations offer mobile power anywhere in the world.

Best of all, we’re heading into the sales season. That means Bluetti’s power stations are on sale for up to 45% off, saving you more than $1000.

1. Garden power

Keeping tools powered up in the yard can be hard. If you use corded tools, you need outlets nearby, which aren’t always at hand when working away from the house.

This is especially true when cooking in the great outdoors. You need power to run electric griddles, grills, and pizza ovens, and without power, you can’t keep ingredients cold in an electric cooler.

This is especially true if you like to host. Outdoor projectors are perfect for hosting family movie nights, but the perfect secluded spot might be far from the outlets on your patio. A hot tub in a little corner at the end of your garden might need professional wiring to work.

But a portable power station like the new Bluetti Elite 200 V2 can make it much easier to run all of these appliances. It can power up to 9 different tools or devices at once, so it’s perfect for a huge variety of different garden tasks. It’s also a buy-it-for-life product; the 17-year lifespan means you can power a generation of family memories out in the yard.

You don’t need anything too bulky, either. Say you’re building a deck and just want to use a power saw, or keep batteries for your hand drill or impact driver topped up. A smaller power station like the Bluetti AC200L is perfect. It keeps out of the way, quietly providing power so that your DIY projects run seamlessly.

2. Solar energy

Solar power is improving every year, and there’s no power source as simple or economical. With a solar panel, there’s nothing to plug in or set up. The power source is the sun - as long it’s daytime, you have free, unlimited power anywhere in the world.

This means that solar power is especially useful in the garden. If you have a large lot, you’ll know that standard power cables aren’t long enough for you to work on the whole yard. it can be incredibly frustrating to leave a job unfinished if a pressure washer, lawn mower, or hedge trimmer dies on you midway through a project.

Products like the Bluetti AC180 Solar Portable Power Station can be a lifesaver when using power tools out in the yard. This portable solar power station boasts a remarkable battery that can reach full charge in just one hour, and it has 11 different outlets to run different tools. If you need extra juice, the app can step up the 1800W output to 2700W for more power. Thanks to Black Friday, it’s $70 cheaper, and you can get an extra 5% discount with the code HOMEGARDEN01.

Home Back Up

But portable power isn’t just for outdoors. It can be useful in the home, too. There are lots of devices that need constant power and can cause havoc if they go down. If your fridge drops power, you’ll quickly have a lot of rotten ingredients on your hands, wasting food and money.

If you lose power in an outage or extreme weather event, your home security system could also cut out. Burglary tends to increase during a blackout because it’s hard to see intruders and they know that cameras and alarms aren’t working. On top of that, loss of power can also cut out your router, limiting your ability to work or contact the outside world.

That’s why the Bluetti AC300+B300K Home Battery Backup is so useful. If you live somewhere with variable electricity coverage, a battery backup like this can keep all your necessary appliances running until your electricity returns. It has 16 different ports suiting a host of different appliances, so you can keep fridges, freezers, and other essential appliances running as they should.

Bluetti’s Black Friday sales mean up to $1000 off and an extra 5% off with the code HOMEGARDEN01. It’s the perfect opportunity to keep your home running as it should for less.
