You can add more gas to keep the generator running for days vs you can run a power station for hours until it need to be recharged with either AC or solar?
What do you mean, battery powered? solar?
Ones a battery you charge with an outlet or a solar panel. This one has a motor that generates electricity to use. Ie generator

It's probably going to be 20-30% efficiency. However your point is still perfectly valid and correct.
Electric battery is fantastic, but it's expensive for long period of high power. However no maintenance!
Gas generators are much cheaper, store much more energy and drive bigger loads. However they need maintenance and more hassle (need to run outside the house, loud, need to store/rotate gas/oil)
if you're asking that question, you should buy the portable power station 👍
On top of all previous replies, it really depends on the use case. A) Running a few 9 watt led light bulb 4 hours on the weekends somewhere, Go portable power station. Being prepared for a hurricane or power outage in order to run appliances/etc for days or weeks, Go Gas power. FWIW, I have been prepared with a huge old school 5,000 watt generator for 20 years in Tornado Alley, and have NEVER used it for it's intended purpose. Takes up space and another equipment to maintain. Guess it's a blessing though!

Despite what politicians will tell you, gas-powered generators aren't going anywhere. Power stations are fine for short term use, but they will never compete with a gas generator. I have several power stations and have used them to run a microwave during quiet hours at a campsite, but I could never run a microwave longer than 40 minutes before it would need to be recharged. Several months ago in CA, I ran a gas generator for three days when Edison shut the power off because there was a breeze. My power stations were good for running my WiFi router and charging phones, but they would not have been able to run my fridge and freezer for three days.
Because you don't want a product that uses African child labor to harvest the rare earth minerals for the battery.
