Black Friday 2026 at a glance
Brand sale dates. We'll add each brand's own Black Friday dates here once it publishes them on its US store.
How we judge a price. A brand-store price counts as a deal only when it's below every price we've recorded that store charging in the last 60 days, or at least 10% under its usual price, with at least 14 days on record.
Every current model, by size
Each brand-store price is checked twice a day against the prices we've recorded that store charging for the same model. Models we link to only on Amazon get a link and no verdict: we don't record or judge Amazon prices. How we judge a deal ↓

How we judge a deal
A brand-store price counts as a deal here only if it is lower than every price we've recorded for that model at that store in the last 60 days, or at least 10% under its usual price there. “Usual” is the middle price of the days on record, so one short sale or one spike doesn't move it. We call a price “about usual” from 10% under to 5% over, and “above usual” beyond that.
We need 14 days on record before we judge, and until then a model says “not enough history yet”. That is deliberate: a new listing with a big crossed-out price can't look like a deal here. Today 0 of the 9 brand-store prices above have enough history to judge.
The crossed-out “was” price and the RRP don't come into it. A store's reference price isn't what the model has actually been selling for; the prices we recorded are.
Why Amazon isn't judged. Amazon's licence lets us show its current price with the date and time we fetched it, but not keep its prices beyond a day or analyse them over time without its written approval. So we keep no Amazon record to judge a sale against. Amazon's prices appear in the comparison below, each with its date and time, and never with a verdict.
The honest limit. A price that passes is lower than we've seen, not necessarily the lowest it will go. And it is only a good buy if it's the size you need.

Before you buy
Decide the size before the sales start
List what must run in an outage and for how long, then use our power stations comparison to pick a capacity.
Judge the price, not the badge.
A crossed-out list price says nothing about what the model sold for last month; our verdicts compare against prices we've recorded.
Check what's in the box.
Bundles with a solar panel or extra battery are priced differently from the station alone; compare like with like.
We verify every product's specifications against at least two independent sources, re-check its US price and stock on a schedule where we can track it automatically, and cross-check safety-relevant claims against official guidance. Every review is labelled Researched or Used and reviewed by us: where we've bought a product, or been sent it free, and used it ourselves, its review says which; where we haven't, our verdict is a considered spec-and-evidence comparison, not a hands-on test — and commissions never change a ranking either way.

Common questions
When is Black Friday 2026?
Friday, November 27, 2026, with Cyber Monday on Monday, November 30. We'll add each brand's own sale dates here once it publishes them on its US store.
How can I tell if a Black Friday power station deal is real?
Compare the sale price with what the model has actually been selling for, not with a list price. This page checks each brand-store price against the prices we've recorded that store charging for the same model, and calls it a deal only when it's below every price we recorded in the last 60 days or at least 10% under its usual price, with at least 14 days on record.
Is Black Friday the cheapest time to buy a power station?
Our own record can't answer that yet: we started recording US brand-store prices in October 2026, so this is the first Black Friday in it. Judge the price, not the date.
Why is there no verdict on Amazon prices?
Amazon's rules for sites like ours don't allow us to record or analyze its prices, so models we link to on Amazon get a plain link to Amazon's own page, where the current price is shown.
What size power station do I need?
Size it for the outage you'll actually have: list what must run (fridge, lights, internet, phones, any medical device) and for how long. Our power stations comparison groups models by size, and our home backup batteries page covers the 4 to 6 kWh units.
