Why It’s a Big Deal

Walmart’s Summer Deals sale is officially live, and with it comes a whole host of superb discounts on camping gear. Among them are deals on what we would not consider an essential outdoor category—portable power stations. During the sale, which runs through June 28, you’ll find discounts on favorites from Jackery and EF EcoFlow, but if you’re looking for a unit that won’t break the bank, there’s one from a brand called Qunler that Walmart customers seem to love, and it’s right around $150.

The Qunler 300W Portable Power Station is on sale for $153, a 70% discount on its normal price of $500. This battery-powered unit is ideal for camping or as a backup during power outages, and Walmart shoppers have been really happy with it. One reviewer specifically noted that it “stays charged for hours” and is “perfect for short-term outages.”

What to Know Before Buying

This 300W power station is highly versatile, and it packs enough juice to run all kinds of devices. Its lithium-ion batteries can produce up to 600 watts of peak power (via the AC outlets), and it includes an array of safety tech to prevent electrical issues, including temperature control to prevent battery overheating, overvoltage, overcurrent protection, and short-circuit and overload detection (TLDR: If you overload this unit or wire things up incorrectly, it’ll alert you before a more serious issue arises).

It’s built with a wide array of ports—like four AC outlets, two USB-A ports, and a USB-C port—to work with all kinds of devices, from TVs to laptops and more. It’s easy to charge up, too: Plug it into a normal AC outlet or charge it on the go using the included car cigarette lighter adapter. It’s also a snap to tote around—it weighs just 6.6 pounds and measures a tidy 8.1-by-8.5-by-5.9 inches.

Now, we’re realists—this isn’t the device you want for a week-long backcountry trip with no access to an outlet (unless you’re packing a 100-watt solar panel)—it doesn’t have the juice for that. But for a weekend of car camping where you’ll just be charging phones and maybe camera or drone batteries, or even a backyard party or a road trip (make sure not to leave this in a hot car), it will serve its purpose dutifully.

What Reviewers Say

Walmart shoppers report this unit hits the mark for reliable power and ease of use. “We used it for a weekend of camping,” one reviewer said. “The lamp was great, we inflated seven air mattresses, charged all our phones, and kept our speaker connected the whole time. We also plugged it into a solar panel (bought separately) on the second day.”

Another shopper said it’s simply a “good device.” They added, “It has a good selection of outlets and is easy to recharge. It holds a charge well and uses energy efficiently. The display provides information on the usage, and it has an easy-to-use charging icon. I would purchase this again.”

With this Qunler Portable Power Station, you’ll have peace of mind, regardless of the situation at hand. At just $153, investing in this handy device is a smart move, but act fast, because Walmart’s big sale only runs for a week, and after that, most prices will change.
