Best power station for home backup

How long each station keeps the essentials on in an outage: a fridge, LED lights and phones, about 80 W together.

How we picked

Every station with AC output of at least 1,500 W, so a 1,000 W microwave also runs is listed, 42 in all. Runtime is battery size times 0.85 (about 15% is lost turning battery power into wall power), divided by the draw. No brand pays to be here, and the picks below are the arithmetic, not our taste. Prices are from each brand's store, checked Oct 27, 2026.

Before you buy

Never wire a power station into your home's circuits without a transfer switch installed by an electrician. Plug appliances into the station instead.

Can it act as a UPS for your router and PC? Switch times by model.
