Bluetti AC240 review: One of the most durable power stations I've tested

The Bluetti AC240 is water and dust-resistant, allowing it to withstand the worst Mother Nature can throw at it. It also earns a ZDNET Lab Award for its efficiency.

• Cons: It weighs over 70 pounds, bringing it to the limit of what one person can move safely.
