There are so many uses for a portable power station, and if you don’t have one yet, you don’t want to miss this opportunity to buy the EcoFlow River 2 for only $119. That’s half-price following a $120 discount on its original price of $239, but there’s a catch — you’ll be getting a refurbished model. If you’re willing to take this deal for the huge discount, you better hurry — it’s part of EcoFlow’s Outdoor Sale, and there are only a few days remaining before the event ends.

Why you should buy the EcoFlow River 2 portable power station

The EcoFlow River 2 is a smaller and more affordable version of the EcoFlow River 2 Pro, which received a rating of 4 out of 5 stars in our review. If you don’t think you’ll need the larger capacity of the EcoFlow River 2 Pro, and if you’re on a tighter budget, there’s no problem with going for the EcoFlow River 2 instead. Its capacity of 256Wh is enough for power outages, and to serve as a backup energy source for outdoor adventures. It’s also much lighter at only 7.7 pounds and more compact than the EcoFlow River 2 Pro, so it’s less troublesome to pack.

The AC output of the EcoFlow River 2 is 300W, but if you need a bit more power, you can activate the X-Boost feature to double that to 600W. There are four charging methods for this portable power station — AC charging, car charging, USB-C charging, and solar charging — though solar panels are separately sold. You should know that the EcoFlow River 2 on sale is refurbished, but if you’re going to trust anybody with a refurbished portable power station, it should be EcoFlow itself.

For those who are on the hunt for portable power station deals, check out this offer from the Outdoor Sale of one of the best brands in the industry — the EcoFlow River 2 for an affordable $119, for savings of $120 on its sticker price of $239. This is for a refurbished model though, but there won’t be any issues because it’s coming from EcoFlow itself. The event ends in a few days, but don’t be complacent as stocks may run out at any moment. You should proceed with your purchase of the EcoFlow River 2 portable power station as soon as possible if you want the discount.

Update 11/19/24: If you've been waiting for Black Friday to grab yourself a power tool, you'll be happy to know that we've been seeing a lot of excellent deals worth grabbing even as early as now. That's why we've gone through here and added a couple more options for you to check out in the form of a circular saw and dremel tool, as well as updated all the pricing to the most recent numbers.

Black Friday is officially starting on November 29, although that doesn't mean that you can't start buying things now with so many early Black Friday deals going around. Even if you aren't the type to buy everything early, we really think that power tools should be an exception. Let's say, for example, that you take part in Black Friday TV deals and decide to mount your new TV. You'll want a drill/driver for that. Maybe you partake in soundbar deals? You can mount those, too! Even if you are going for Black Friday gaming laptop deals, you might decide to mount a secondary monitor near your gaming desk so you can pop up a stream on the side when you are ready for an on-the-desk gaming sesh. Do you see what we mean? Seemingly anything you buy these days might have some mounting feature — and, yes, that includes vacuum cleaners — that you might wish to utilize. So, go ahead and shop these Black Friday power tool deals starting now.
