BLUETTI’s Black Friday deals are the best time to stock up on portable power

Power, or rather electricity, can be unreliable any time of the year, not just during the winter or stormy months down south — hello, hurricanes. It means the best time to buy a portable power solution for backup or for any kind of power scenario is not when you need it most but beforehand. Plan ahead, and you won’t experience those huge outages. It’s even more important if you’re planning to live off-grid, going exploring, or living your best van life, RV life, or glamping. You’ll need power. End of story.

With BLUETTI offering some great Black Friday deals, plus an exclusive discount, now’s the best time to buy. The discounts are also complemented by a brand new release with the BLUETTI AC200L portable solar generator and power station hitting the market. It features a 2400-watt output, 2,048-watt-hour capacity, and a 1,200-watt solar input for speedy charging. You can boost that to 3,600 watts in PowerLifting whenever needed. More on that new station and the fantastic deals below.

Five Aventon E-Bikes We’d Choose for Family Rides and Weekend Adventures 
Five e-bikes from Aventon you can use to elevate your family weekend
Machine, Wheel, Accessories

Everyone loves a good bikeride. From the time you're a kid until the days of riding romantically on the beach, and finally, riding with your kids around daily or on vacation. I have gotten an opportunity to check out a lot that Aventon has to offer. From towing our kids around the neighborhood to exploring new parks, gravel paths, and campgrounds, we’ve spent time with several Aventon models in real, everyday situations. Family rides can look very different depending on the day, and each bike stood out in its own way depending on where and how we were riding. After spending time with all five, a few clear strengths started to emerge.

I finally found a robot mower that can handle a real piece of land, and it’s over $1,200 off for Prime Day
YARBO Robot Lawn Mower Pro is down to $4,734 this Prime Day, an almost $1,300 saving on a wire-free, RTK-guided machine built for properties up to 6 acres.

This post is brought to you in paid partnership with YARBO.

There's a particular kind of weekend that anyone with real acreage knows well. You look out the window at the grass and do the math on how many hours of your Saturday the mower is about to claim. I've spent enough of those weekends behind a deck to want the job handed to a robot, and the thing that always stopped me was that most robot mowers are toys built for a tidy suburban patch, not for land you measure in acres. The YARBO Robot Lawn Mower Pro is the first one I've come across that's built for the latter, and for day one of Prime Day it's dropped to $4,734 from its usual $5,999, a discount of $1,265.
