The Marbero M82 Max, a portable power station that’s also a solar generator with its own solar panel, is currently the top seller in Amazon’s outdoor generators category. That’s probably because you can get it for a fantastic price of only $150, following a 25% discount on its original price of $200, making it a cheaper alternative to the Jackery Explorer 300. The $50 in savings is probably drawing the attention of a lot of shoppers, so if you want to take advantage of this limited-time deal, we highly recommend proceeding with the purchase right now as the offer may no longer be there tomorrow.

Why you should buy the Marbero M82 Max solar generator

You should always be ready with a portable power station in case there’s an electricity outage in your home, or if you suddenly find yourself on an outdoor adventure where outlets won’t be readily available. The Marbero M82 Max is an excellent option for these situations, as it will be able to power and charge all kinds of devices with its 30,000 mAh capacity. There are three ways to recharge the Marbero M82 Max — plug it into a wall socket, connect it to your car’s lighter outlet, or harness the power of the sun with the included 30W solar panel that comes with a built-in smart chip to prevent overloading.

The Marbero M82 Max is delightfully portable with a weight of just 2.3 pounds, and its solar panel is only 1.8 pounds. The solar panel is foldable too, so it’s easy to pack it with the solar generator in your shed or at the back of your vehicle. The power station also offers multiple ports, including USB-A, USB-C, AC, and DC, so you’ll be able to use it with all of your devices.

If you’re on the hunt for portable power station deals, we highly recommend this cheaper alternative to the Jackery Explorer 300, which is also Amazon’s top seller in its outdoor generators category — the Marbero M82 Max. It’s going to provide you with the power that you need when you need it for an extremely affordable price of $150, for savings of $50 on its original price of $200. We’re not sure how long the Marbero M82 Max solar generator will remain at 25% off though, so if you think it’s something that you and your family needs, you should complete your transaction for it as soon as you can.

If you picked up a Cyber Monday TV deal, you might need to shop for a Cyber Monday cordless drill deal to get it properly mounted yourself. DeWalt, which not only makes great tools but also has some CamelCamelCamel-verified Cyber Monday deals, makes more than just the drill. The following deals represent the best Cyber Monday power tool deals you can get from DeWalt, plus some extra equally well-made DeWalt goods.

Our top pick: DeWalt 20V Max Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Kit — $299 $409 27% off

This is the bread and butter of DeWalt Black Friday deals right now, as it has not only the most essential tools of any kit — the drill and driver — but also a pair of batteries and a charger to keep them ready to go and a nice duffel as well. Get this kit for $299 to get started with DeWalt's 20V products in the best way possible. I personally own this kit, and I use it weekly, if not most days. I'm always hanging something up on the wall, fixing something that's broken around the house or just building some new contraption. The small drill is excellent for quick tasks, while the hammer drill is great for drilling into tough materials.

Tesla Powerwall is the best solar, home backup, and EV charging companion

Tesla Powerwall 3 installed on outside of home

Solar power, and having solar panels on your home, is a fantastic way to conserve energy and cut down on power bills, especially if you live somewhere sunny like Florida or California. There's just one glaring issue. When the grid goes down you still lose power because of how it's connected. Your solar panels cannot generate enough energy or keep it stored to keep your power on. So, essentially, your power setup doesn't offer much benefit there, unless you get a home power backup system. More specifically, something like a Tesla Powerwall is a compact home battery that stores energy generated from the grid. That energy is then used as a backup when traditional grid power is unavailable.

To make it even more clear, with a Tesla Powerwall, the power stays on even during a major blackout or outage. It's whole-home backup, too, which means you can power your lights, appliances, electronics, you name it. If you've ever had to throw away an entire refrigerator's worth of spoiled food because of a multi-day outage -- like I have -- you'll certainly appreciate the option to keep your appliances running. But that's not all it can do. The Tesla Powerwall is an excellent companion for Tesla EV owners, creating an entire smart ecosystem of power. Let's explore.

Travelers: Come one, come all for these Bluetti Black Friday hauls

BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 portable power station deal -- hero

If you've been paying attention, and I'm sure you have, you already know that a bunch of BLUETTI Black Friday deals have dropped, including on its latest Elite 200 V2 portable power station, and more gear like the Charger 1. But if you thought it all ended there, you were mistaken. There's a lot more on offer this year and now's a great time to stock up on portable power, accessories -- like solar panels -- and much more. See, the idea is to make sure you have home backup and off-grid power before any big events happen. Before all those hurricanes and tornadoes and big storms. Being from Florida myself, I know better. But either way, you should consider these deals and I highly recommend grabbing something, so let's get into it.

As an aside, right now you can use code DT01 for an extra 5% discount on top of all sale prices. That code is exclusive to Digital Trends readers and applicable to all products on BLUETTI's website.
