Jackery’s Explorer 290 portable power station drops to $171 in one-day-only Best Buy sale (Reg. Up to $279)

$79+ off/$171

As part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Jackery Explorer 290 Portable Power Station at $170.99 shipped, which is only available in a refurbished state at Amazon and sitting at its full $279 MSRP direct from the brand’s website. At Best Buy, though, it carries a $250 tag, which we haven’t seen brought down much by discounts over 2025, but it has gone lower to $160 and the $152 low back in 2024. You’re looking at a 32% markdown here for the rest of the day only, taking $79 off the tag (and $108 off the MSRP) for the third-lowest price we have tracked.
