EcoFlow Halloween sale offers DELTA Pro power station with free gear at $2,499 ($4,167 value)

EcoFlow has launched a Halloween Sale through the rest of the month that is taking up to 51% off a huge lineup of power stations, bundles, smart devices, and accessories – with some special offers that bump up the savings with free additional gear. One of these special offers is the DELTA Pro Portable Power Station that is down at $2,499 shipped and comes with a free monitor for your home backup setup on top of a free camping light too. Normally going for $3,699, we saw it fall to a more recent $2,099 during the brand’s Prime Day sale two weeks ago, and more often averaging around $2,599 during most other sales. You’ll be benefitting from a 32% markdown here today that slashes $1,200 off the price tag and gives you the third-lowest price we have tracked – but what makes this deal so much better than before is the inclusion of the free PowerInsight Home Energy Monitor and waterproof camping light that is valued at $468 together. If you’re not interested in the free gear, you’ll find the power station $200 cheaper at Amazon.

There are some nice extra savings perks that EcoFlow is offering during this sale, with orders that amount to $2,000 to $4,999 receiving a free waterproof camping light, and orders over $5,000 getting a free RIVER Portable Power Station on top of the light. There’s also the added bonus for reward program members (free to sign-up here – plus, you get 500 credits) that nets you double EcoCredits during this sale, as well as the additional 5% off discount that military, first responders, students, and teachers all get upon verification.

One of the biggest and most popular backup power contenders on the market, EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro power station provides a massive 3,600Wh LiFePO4 battery capacity that can be expanded later up to 25kWh when setup with additional power stations and the dedicated smart extra batteries. It pumps out up to 3,600W of power that can surge up to 7,200W and sports a plethora of ports to cover devices, appliances, and more: five AC ports, four USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, two DC ports, and a car port.

The station’s own battery can be plugged into a standard wall outlet to fully recharge in 1.8 hours, or you can hook up a maximum of 1,600W of solar input to recharge over 2.8 hours. All the usual remote smart controls you’ve come to expect from EcoFlow is available here, accessed through the companion app when connected by Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

anker PowerCore Reserve 60,000mAh power bank station

Best deal on Anker’s PowerCore Reserve 60,000mAh power bank station returns for $90 low

Coming to us through its official Amazon storefront, Anker is giving folks a second opportunity at the best deal we’ve seen on its PowerCore Reserve 60,000mAh Power Bank Station for $89.99 shipped, after clipping the on-page $10 off coupon. Normally priced at $150 most of the time, it’s already seeing a solid $50 taken off its price tag, but to sweeten the pot more, we’re getting an additional $10 on top of that for the best deal we’ve tracked – a 40% markdown to the all-time lowest price ever that we only saw for one day during the recent Prime Day event from two weeks ago.

One of Anker’s most popular portable backup companions for your personal day-to-day devices, the PowerCore Reserve doesn’t just provide a 60,000mAh/192Wh battery capacity, but it also weighs in just over 5 pounds, slipping right into your bag for easy carrying (with an integrated handle too). There are two USB-A ports and two USB-C ports to cover your devices here, able to keep an iPhone 14 recharged over 10 times or a MacBook Air for up to 2.9 times. Aside from its standard way to charge, it also delivers solar charging capabilities too, only taking four hours to get back to full when you connect a 60W solar input. Its crown features a built-in retractable light for illumination needs, with two brightness levels and an S.O.S button to flash through the dark in emergency situations.

While the above model is already built with a durable body, you’ll also find a custom co2CREA Hard Case to add another layer of protections discounted back to its Prime Day rate of $28 at the moment too.

EcoFlow Halloween sale

Save $600 with Greenworks’ 80V 24-inch cordless electric two-stage snow blower at $1,400 (Today only)

As part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Greenworks 80V 24-inch Cordless Electric Two-Stage Snow Blower for $1,399.99 shipped. Normally this heavy-duty equipment would run you $2,000 at full price, with very few discounts having dropped on it over 2024, the biggest of which brought costs down to $1,300 back in February. Today, you’re looking at a solid 30% markdown that slashes $600 off the price tag and lands it down at the second-lowest price we have tracked – just $100 above the all-time low from the top of the year. Not only is it unavailable on Amazon at the moment, but this deal beats out Greenworks’ own website where its priced at an even higher $2,100 rate.

The snow season is on the horizon for many regions while others are already receiving their share of weather forecasts calling for snowfall, and this heavy-duty snow blower from Greenworks is discounted just in time to prep properly, though keep in mind this deal is only available for today. The digitally-controlled brushless motor can easily carve out a 24-inch path that is up to 18 inches deep, discharging the snow in your path up to 50 feet through its 200-degree rotating chute, which has been upgraded from the previous model’s 20-foot discharge and 180-degree rotating chute.

It’s been stocked with plenty of LED lights for better visibility, making those morning clearings before the snow has time to pack down far easier. It also sports zero-turn self-propelled hub motor wheels that don’t get stuck in the powder and on the ice thanks to the increased power and the “effortless maneuverability.” The two included 4.0 batteries offer up enough juice to clear out an 18-car driveway on a single 60-minute charge when using the included dual-port turbocharger – plus, it can hold a third battery from the brand, offering up an even longer runtime should you want it.

EcoFlow Halloween sale

Don’t let snowfall catch you off guard with Greenworks’ 80V 12-inch cordless electric snow shovel at $250

Amazon is helping folks prep for winter’s arrival by offering the Greenworks 80V 12-inch Cordless Electric Snow Shovel for $250.25 shipped. Priced at Greenworks at a $350 price tag, we saw it close out 2023 at the $200 low from Christmas sales that remained until the first days of January, which has not been seen again since and has mostly remained close to its full rate for most of the year, often near $339 up until recently with a few cuts down closer to $300. We did spot it at $245 last week in a one-day-only Best Buy sale, but today you’re getting another chance at a significantly reduced rate that will save you $100 and give you the second-best deal we have tracked as dropping in this year.

With winter poised to arrive (and likely in an unexpected manner than we’re used to thanks to the changing weather schedules of our modern time), make sure you’re never caught off guard by sudden snowfall with this handy electric snow shovel from Greenworks that powers through the job while saving you space over bulkier snow blower models. The 80V brushless motor clears a 12-inch wide path and cuts out a depth of up to six inches at a time, discharging everything up to 25 feet away from you in the process. The lightweight and ergonomic design allows for more effortless and comfortable use by folks of varying sizes, while also sporting a lock-out button to protect you from accidental starting when your fingers may go cold and numb while working. The 2.0Ah battery here is not only compatible across Greenworks’ ecosystem, but it also provides a 45-minute runtime for every 30 minutes plugged into the included charger.

Jackery’s Early Prime Day sale drops Explorer 1000 v2 with 200W panel to $649 (50% off) + free bundle offer, more

Jackery has launched its Early Prime Big Deal Days sale running through October 6, with up to 65% discounts on its power stations alongside bonus savings, free gifts, and more. If you’re gearing up for fall adventures outdoors and off-grid, one of the best budget-friendly bundles to score right now is Jackery’s Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station with a 200W solar panel at $649 shipped, which is also matching over at Amazon and is eligible for a FREE refurbished Explorer 290. This combination of station and add-on equipment would normally cost you $1,299 in full, though over 2025, you’ve had the chance to score it between $749 and $699 with regular discounts. If you’ve waited until now to pick it up, you’ll get it at the best price we have tracked this year, behind the $599 low that appeared last year for only a few hours. Head below for more on this bundle, the sale’s promotions, and the full lineup of deals.

Before we jump into the details of pricing, let’s go over the many special promotions being offered during Jackery’s Early Prime Big Deal Days sale. First, orders that reach a $1,500 threshold can use the code OFFER5 for an additional 5% savings, though this does not include the HomePower 3000 series of deals. Next, you can score up to $830 in trade-in bonuses, with reminders that the 30% federal tax credits may be ending with the year, so don’t miss the opportunity to jump on that while equipping yourself with reliable backup power support.

Ever since its late 2024 release, Jackery’s Explorer 1000 v2 power station has become one of the brand’s best camping-focused backup power companions for folks not wanting to shell out too much money on larger units/combos. It brings a 1,070Wh LiFePO4 capacity to your trips and boasts 62 forms of charging protections from its ChargeShield 2.0 tech. Your devices and appliances are covered with up to 1,500W of steady power, which can surge up to 3,000W and offers seven ports for connection options.

When plans are known in advanced, all you’ll need is 1.6 hours charging from a standard AC outlet to get it back to full battery, and for more last-minute plans, you can activate the emergency charging feature with the in-app controls to cut that time down to just one hour. You can also charge as you drive through your car’s auxiliary/cigarette lighter port, and the 200W panel coming with the bundle puts you a third of the way towards its max 600W solar input, which can get the station back to full in three hours with proper sunlight.

***Note: The following prices have not had the extra savings taken into account, so be sure to use the code OFFER5 once your cart totals $1,500 or more to score the absolute best prices.

Install Anker’s solar-powered eufy SoloCam S220 for year-round security while at $65

What we know about Rivian software update 2025.34 including highway assist upgrades

What we know about Rivian software update 2025.34 including highway assist upgrades

Rivian software update

A new software update from Rivian was sighted earlier this month, and it’s being prepared for a full rollout to Gen 2 R1S and R1T EVs. The latest Rivian update includes upgrades to the American automaker’s Enhanced Highway Assist driving, more energy-conscious home charging capabilities, and a slew of other improvements outlined below.

Like most software-defined vehicles, Rivian models like the R1S and R1T receive periodic updates over-the-air (OTA). As a Rivian owner and an enthusiast, software updates are often exciting news to report on, as they usually result in new features or abilities to existing technology or enable various efficiencies (and bug fixes fixes, of course).

Over the past six months, we’ve seen updates like 2025.10, which rolled out to the public in early April, and 2025.14, which updated the BEV’s Highway Assist feature. In late May, RivianTrackr shared that software update 2025.18 was rolling out internally before launching wide to Rivian owners, and it was one of the more robust rollouts we had seen for a while.

Most recently, a similar site called RivianRoamer has reported on a new software update, 2025.34, which has already been spotted before it makes its way out to the public

Rivian software update adds new “Co-Steer” feature

Per reports, Rivian software update 2025.34 is in the works in a beta version before it inevitably makes its way to the community of R1S and R1T owners. That being said, please note that any of these listed features or improvements could change or be removed altogether before the update goes out wide.

The first notable upgrade pertains to the Enhanced Highway Assist ADAS in Gen 2 Rivian models. Right now, the pending software update will enable a new assist feature called “Co-Steer,” which will allow a driver to adjust their given position within a lane using “gentle steering inputs” without the Enhanced Highway Assist disengaging.

Speaking of Enhanced Highway Assist, Rivian shared that the availability of the ADAS feature has increased by up to 50%, particularly on urban and suburban highways. Lastly, the 2025.34 update includes a new perception model that improves lane centering performance, especially on curves.

Additionally, Rivian’s latest pending software update will allow your vehicle to automatically charge itself during off-peak times at your home when electricity is cheaper, ensuring your vehicle is ready when you need it.

According to the report, “smart scheduling” can cut annual home EV charging costs by 20% or more and increase your use of clean energy. You can enable this feature and monitor everything through your account in the Rivian app (version 3.5 or later).

Other updates and big fixes from 2025.34 (subject to change)

  • Audio improvements (Gen 2 Rivian models)
    • Fine-tuned equalization and delays to make the bass feel richer and more impactful
    • Soundstage improvements for better localization, separation, and layering
    • Improved blending of Dolby Atmos content for all listening positions
  • Performance improvements
    • Updated and improved media apps, including increased touchscreen responsiveness
    • Improved Navigation stability and responsiveness
    • Improved responsiveness to mobile commands while vehicle is asleep
  • Resolved rare issue that prevented users from accepting the terms of service for Rivian Navigation with Google Maps
  • Fixed issue that kept Gear Guard video thumbnails from displaying properly on the Motion Cam and Incidents screens
  • Resolved rare issue where the tonneau cover position is displayed incorrectly on certain screens of Gen 1 R1T models
  • Resolved rare issue that caused fog lights to turn off and exterior lights to revert to Auto mode (Gen 1)
  • Fixed issue that caused trip energy and efficiency data to fluctuate unexpectedly
  • Improvements to the accuracy of battery range on arrival estimates, including adding location air density as a factor for locations at higher elevations
  • Resolved rare issue that prevented the door handles from presenting for an unlock request while Car Wash mode is active (Gen 2 EVs)
  • Reduced excessive blower noise during climate control start-up in mild conditions while maintaining cooling performance in extreme temperatures (Gen 2 EVs)
  • Fixed rare issue that caused cabin conditioning requests initiated from the Rivian mobile app to fail on the first attempt (Gen 2 EVs)
  • Additional improvements for 12V battery health detection, including in-vehicle and mobile app notifications to alert you when the 12V battery needs to be replaced (Gen 2 EVs)

That’s all for now. As a reminder, the above release notes pertain to a beta version of the software update, and 2025.34 could be different when it reaches Rivian owners in the coming weeks. Keep an eye out for it!

In the meantime, I recommend scheduling a test drive with Rivian if you haven’t done so yet. See if you can get behind the wheel of an upcoming R2. It’s a winner!

The Ford F-150 Lightning can now handle more of the driving for you

The Ford F-150 Lightning can now handle more of the driving for you

Ford-F-150-Lightning-BlueCruise-update

After rolling out a new BlueCruise software update, Ford said F-150 owners can now drive in hands-free mode up to eight times longer. The update is available for all 2022-2025 Ford F-150 Lightning models equipped with BlueCruise.

Ford rolls out BlueCruise 1.4 update for F-150 Lightning

Depending on the model year, the software update will take some Lightning drivers from BlueCruise 1.0 to the latest version, BlueCruise 1.4.

Ford said those who receive the update will notice a more natural driving experience and more time in hands-free mode compared to earlier versions.

According to the company’s internal testing, F-150 Lightning drivers can stay in hands-free mode on the highway eight times longer on average compared to the first version of BlueCruise. Even compared to BlueCruise 1.2, the update offers five times more hands-free driving time.

For those with BlueCruise 1.0, the upgrade will offer a few notable improvements. For one, Ford said you will feel “a more continuous experience,” like when driving around tight corners.

You will also feel more centered in your line with less side-to-side movement. Ford said the update reduces deviations from the center of the lane by nearly 80% from the first version.

The update adds new features, such as In-Lane Repositioning, which automatically adjusts when you’re next to a large semi-truck to give you more space. With Lane Change Assist, you can now make a hands-free lane change by simply tapping the turn signal.

Ford is rolling out the new BlueCruise 1.4 update to 2022-2024 F-150 Lightning and 2022-2023 F-150 vehicles. The 2025 model year is being delivered with the update straight from the factory.

Earlier this month, Ford introduced a new STX trim for the 2026 F-150 Lightning. The new STX variant replaces the current base XLT model, offering more range and power for the same price.

As more updates become available, the company plans to extend the improved hands-free driving software to nine Ford and Lincoln vehicles. Ford has already deployed BlueCruise 1.3 to 2021-2023 Mustang Mach-E vehicles.

With the new 2026 Lightning around the corner, current models are available for lease starting at just $258 per month. You can use our link to find offers on the Ford F-150 Lightning near you (trusted partner).
