Whether it’s due to a heat wave, hurricane, or human error, a power outage is a major life interruption. WiFi goes out, food rots, and you can be left stumbling around in the dark. It’s essential to be prepared with a gas generator or home power station like the electric model that currently has a massive discount at Amazon ahead of Black Friday.
The Jackery HomePower 3000 Portable Power Station is on sale for $999, 60% off its normal $2,499 asking price. The chance to save $1,500 is plenty compelling, but this power station also comes with a complimentary bonus item, a much smaller portable battery backup or a solar panel that can plug directly into this power station, a $299 value, for free.

This power station is essentially a small box that’s 10 inches on each side, the world’s smallest and lightest 3 kWh power station. That’s enough power to run a refrigerator for one to two days. It takes just 1.7 hours to recharge via hybrid AC and DC power, and 2.2 hours via AC (e.g. a typical home outlet) only. It can also recharge via a 12V car charger, gas generator, and solar, up to 80% in 9 hours when connected to a pair of 200W panels. It has four AC outlets, two USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, a TT-30 RV port, and a cigarette lighter port, all arrayed alongside the digital display that shows current input, output, and charge state. Along with its capacity, its versatility has to be its top feature.

The kind of peace of mind and convenience that a power station like the Jackery HomePower 3000 Portable Power Station can provide is hard to beat. Throw in the sub-$1,000 price tag and free solar panel or portable unit, and this product becomes close to a must-buy for anyone with a home. We recommend grabbing one ASAP, as the best time to prep for an emergency is always now, and we’re just not sure how long this deal — or Amazon’s supplies — will last.
