About The Power Station Guide
Hey, I'm Matt.
I started The Power Station Guide after spending way too many hours digging through spec sheets, Reddit threads, and YouTube reviews trying to figure out which portable power station was actually worth buying.
Here's what I found: most "reviews" out there are either too technical to be useful, too vague to be helpful, or just repackaged marketing copy. I wanted something different — a place where someone could show up with a simple question like "What's the best power station for car camping under $500?" and walk away with a clear, honest answer.
What I Do
I research portable power stations so you don't have to. That means:
- Comparing specs across dozens of models — watt-hours, output ports, charge times, battery cycles, the stuff that actually matters
- Breaking down which features are worth paying for and which ones are marketing fluff
- Cutting through brand hype to give you straightforward recommendations based on what you actually need
I'm not sponsored by any brand. When I recommend something, it's because the specs, the user feedback, and the real-world performance back it up — not because someone's paying me to say it.
Why Portable Power Stations?
The space is exploding right now. Between more people getting into camping and vanlife, growing concerns about grid reliability, and solar tech getting cheaper every year, portable power stations have gone from niche gadgets to genuinely useful tools.
But with that growth comes an overwhelming number of options. EcoFlow, Jackery, Bluetti, Anker, Goal Zero — every brand claims to be the best. My job is to help you see past the noise and find what actually fits your situation.
How This Site Works
Every guide on this site is built on hours of research. I dig into manufacturer specs, cross-reference user reviews, compare pricing trends, and put it all together in a way that's actually useful.
I use affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission if you purchase through my links — at no extra cost to you. This is what keeps the site running and allows me to keep producing free, in-depth content.
But here's what matters: my recommendations are never influenced by commissions. I'd rather point you to the right product at the right price than make a quick buck on a bad recommendation. Trust is everything in this space, and I don't take that lightly.
