Walmart is one of the many brands to have gone live with an early Black Friday sale, offering customers a chance to get in front of the holiday shopping chaos. The retailer has posted deals of up to 70% off everything from Bluetooth soundbars to foldable treadmills and even turkey fryers with Thanksgiving coming up. But Walmart's deals on power tools are among some of the best you'll find, including this portable inverter that's over $300 off and the perfect lifeline for emergencies and off-grid action.
The PowerSmart 2500W Portable Inverter is on sale at Walmart for $299, a huge 50% discount on its normal price of $619. This powerful generator has earned nearly 500 five-star reviews from shoppers who have used it and say it has "consistently delivered reliable performance" when they need power. It's also available in a smaller 1500W model that's currently on sale for $240.

This portable gas inverter spins up plenty of juice for camping and backyard projects or as a backup when the electricity goes out at home, pumping out up to 2500 watts of startup power and 1900 watts of continuous power. It includes two 120-volt AC outlets, two five-volt USB-A ports, and one 12-volt DC port—perfect for charging laptops, running an electric camp cooler, or powering other small devices in an emergency. Thanks to its compact 79 cc engine and 1.05-gallon fuel tank, it’s also efficient: At a quarter load, it can run for over 10 hours. But its best feature might be its portability. This generator weighs just 40.3 pounds, so you can easily bring it car camping, and its tidy size (19.1-by-13.4-by-20.1 inches) helps it slot easily into a closet or garage when not in use.
Whether used as a backup generator at home, when tailgating, or camping in the backcountry, shoppers have been thrilled with the PowerSmart’s performance. “This generator is exactly what I needed for my camp trailer,” a shopper said. “It's a one-pull-start, amazingly quiet, easy-to-operate generator.”

Another shopper compared it to their similarly-sized Honda generator and found the PowerSmart to be an equal match. “This generator does everything that the Honda does,” they said, “but it is so much cheaper.”
Portable power when and where you need it—that’s the promise of this handy PowerSmart generator. It’ll help you stay prepared for emergencies and stay comfortable and connected when you’re off the grid, and, at just $299, it’s a fraction of the cost of similar power units. But act fast, because this flash deal won’t last much longer.
