Big Day Out: Best Portable Appliances For A Sizzling Summer Of Fun

Portable Speakers

From pocket-sized speakers to surround sound models, portable Bluetooth speakers let you take your music with you wherever you go. Powerful enough for big holiday parties, or cute and compact for the kids, portable speakers connect via cable or Bluetooth to smartphones, so you can stream anytime, anywhere. Look for waterproof and dustproof models that can take the rough and tumble of beach (or boat) days.

Portable BBQs

What’s summer without snags sizzling on the BBQ? Weber’s portable barbecues are easy to pack in the car, so no more lining up for public hotplates – just pick your favourite shady spot, bring out the barbie and set up while the kids run around.

“Weighing as little as 11kg, modern portable BBQs are compact and convenient. And a BYO barbecue certainly makes cooking easy on any summer adventure,” says Scott Bazley, The Good Guys Buyer – Seasonal.

Portable BBQs come with smaller, 9kg gas bottles for easy travel, but you can still cook up to 100 meals using the same bottle.

Portable Projectors

From the backyard to the great outdoors, a portable mini projector makes a movie theatre in any location. Add in a lightweight, retractable screen and you’ll have your own cinema in seconds. Portable projectors link to your favourite streaming apps like Netflix and YouTube and can even screen mirror content from your phone. The kids will love the novelty – and you’ll love the evening break!

Portable Air Conditioners

Want a touch of luxury? Just the thing for the holiday rental that lacks air conditioning, or the caravan annex, a portable air conditioner can instantly take the heat out of a summer scorcher.  “If you’re likely to move your portable air conditioner around a fair bit, check for easy-access handles. Plus, decent wheels are a must to help you make the most of a cool blast,” says Scott Bazley, The Good Guys Buyer – Seasonal.
