Anker SOLIX F3800 power station exclusive $1,615 in Summer Power Sale, ECOVACS pool cleaner $299 low, Greenworks, more

A roundup of home and outdoor gear deals is running this week, with the most relevant for energy-minded homeowners being Anker's Summer Power Sale on portable power stations, discounted up to 49%, plus an extra 5% off with a bonus code. The sale includes the SOLIX F3800, a large-capacity backup power station, at an exclusive price of $1,615. These units can serve as backup power during outages or as a way to store energy from solar panels, which may interest anyone thinking about home energy resilience.

Other deals in the roundup include the ECOVACS Ultramarine P1, a cordless robotic pool cleaner, back down to its low price of $299. Greenworks is offering first-ever discounts on two electric pressure washers, a 2,200 PSI and a 2,400 PSI model, both starting around $200. The Worx 20V cordless electric hedge trimmer, a 20-inch model with interchangeable attachments, is at its second-lowest price in the past year.

The roundup also notes several deals tied to the July 4th holiday that are ending soon, with a focus on e-bikes, so those prices won't last much longer. None of these are whole-home efficiency upgrades, but the power stations in particular are worth a look if you've been considering backup power or ways to store solar energy at home. As with any sale roundup, prices and availability can change quickly, so it's worth confirming current costs before deciding.
