Why we like it: Power stations don't all spend their days in warm houses and dry garages. Some get taken out into the great outdoors where there are inconveniences like rain and mud and other forms of dampness.
When it comes to power stations, the AC60P -- a follow-up to Bluetti's earlier AC60 -- is as close to perfection as you can get. As I would expect from a prestigious brand like Bluetti, the unit lives up to all the claims made on the spec sheet.
On the front of the unit are most of the ports, gently glowing buttons that turn the unit on and control the AC and DC outputs and a bright, feature-packed, yet easy-to-read display that shows all the important information at a glance.
The wireless charging mat on the top also offers added flexibility. Just pop your phone on the top to get an instant, no-fuss top-up. No cables are required. Oh, and it also has a built-in light for even more accessibility when you're out in the field.
Review: The most durable power station I've tested dares Mother Nature to do her worst
As you might imagine, I was somewhat hesitant to test out this unit's dust and water resistance -- it is, after all, a box filled with electricity -- but that didn't stop me from taking it out in some of the dampest, dirtiest environments that I could find, and I was blown away by how well this unit shrugged off the elements. It's certainly my first choice of portable power stations for use in inclement weather. It's literally the only power station I've owned that I've forgotten outside for three days in winter, and it survived just fine.
Who it's for: This is a wonderfully portable unit that doesn't mine being outdoors exposed to the elements.
Who should look elsewhere: This isn't a high-capacity unit, so those needing to run big gadgets or run them for extended periods need to choose something with more capacity.
The Bluetti AC60P is temporarily out of stock, but will return to shelves soon.
