Portable battery packs have revolutionized power. Forget noisy, smelly gasoline generators or trailing extension cables; these packs are a convenient way to carry power on the go.

Also: My everyday Anker power bank has a genius feature that makes it irreplaceable

Power stations come in all shapes and sizes, from small devices that can easily fit into a backpack to large units that must be transported on wheels. I prefer something in the middle -- a power station that's big enough to power heavy loads for extended periods but small enough to be easily carried around.

Over the past few months, I've been testing the Bluetti AC70 , a portable power station with enough power to easily handle energy-intensive devices, such as hairdryers, electric kettles, and heaters.
