It’s hard to completely disconnect — phones and other tech devices have added so much convenience to our lives that even a camping trip is rarely enough to totally break us away (especially if you need a medical device like a CPAP.) Good news: the Qunler 200W Portable Power Station — currently marked down to $90 from $360 at Walmart — means you have all the juice you need even if you’re nowhere near an outlet. And since we’re still in hurricane season, this portable number could be exactly what you need when storms roll in and the power goes out.

Numerous built-in safety features mean you never have to worry about over-charging a device (or the power station itself), while a dual set of fans keep the heat generation to a minimum.
Why is it a good deal? 💰
This is a highly versatile power bank that can be helpful in daily situations or even in emergencies, and that’s worth it on its own — but the 75% discount doesn’t hurt, either. You’re saving so much on this that you could buy four of these for the cost it would normally take to buy one.
Why do I need this? 🤔
Let us count the ways … err, reasons. For starters, it’s only 3.3 pounds. That’s an incredibly low weight for something so versatile. It’s easy to pack in your car if you’re going camping while still being lightweight enough that it can be lifted, even by people who aren’t supposed to strain themselves (like after surgery, for instance.)
It has a built-in flashlight with two different emergency modes (SOS and flashing) and a continuous light mode that can last up to 60 hours on a full charge.
What’s even more impressive is that you can power up to nine different devices simultaneously. It has two AC outlets, one USB-C port, one 18W fast-charge port, two USB-A ports, and three 12V DC ports. And if the power bank gets low, you can charge it up through any AC outlet in your home, from your car, or with a solar panel (not included).
An integrated battery management system protects the power supply from getting too hot or building up too much charge, and two fans help further regulate the heat while in use. The power station is rated for an unbelievable 1,339 charge cycles, too!
What reviewers say 💬
Nearly 1,000 shoppers have given the portable power station a powerful five-star review for its portability and utility. It’s ‘small but mighty’ said one.
Pros 👍
A lot of reviewers mentioned how useful it was while camping, but this sums it up best: “This is a workhorse. Fully charged, then plugged in two phones a small fan, and a lamp. Battery still had juice at two days and then some.”
Another user praised the power station for its ability to keep medical supplies on. “I feel so safe now that I bought this portable power station. I use a CPAP as well as oxygen at night and in Missouri, many storms cause power outages. Now I can plug into my new power station and sleep without worries.” Another backed this up: “Absolutely love this item. Great for camping trips or power outages. I can even recharge it in my car. Best gadget I’ve gotten for USB and regular plug-in charging. The flashlight is also great to leave on during an outage, it lights up the whole room.”
One shopper who lives in Maine said, “I used it for the last three days with no power. I used this to power my iPad, phone, and other devices for more than 24 hours and was at 30% charge.”
Cons 👎
One reviewer laments the lack of an included solar panel. “You need to buy the solar panel separately, which is a pain in the neck, honestly. I would have been willing to pay more to have it included or at least be given the option to add it to the purchase when buying it.”
And another said you can’t charge the station and your devices at the same time: “I find it annoying because you can’t use the device and charge it at the same time.”

With nine different ports and a built-in flashlight that ‘lights up a whole room,’ this power station will keep you going on even the stormiest days.
