The power went out for six hours and my EcoFlow turned me into the neighbourhood's favourite person

Storm took out the block on a Sunday. I'd bought the thing in a sale and it had been sitting in the hallway, mocking me. I ran the fridge, the router, and phone chargers for a street's worth of people. Someone brought me a casserole.

The app showed exactly how much battery was left, which helped me feel in control, and that's all I ever wanted from a gadget.

Do you actually keep yours charged and ready, or is it dead when you need it? Be honest.
