Decision framework
What changes the answer
Use these factors before comparing finishes, effects, or retailer listings.
Charging routine
A dock can reduce cable friction but adds proprietary replacement risk.
Stability
Tall shade, narrow base, table edges, pets, and outdoor breeze change risk.
Location rating
Portable does not mean weatherproof or suitable for every patio.

Verification checklist
- Verify the exact model, power requirements, intended location, warnings, and current seller.
- Treat certification as claimed until the exact product record is matched with the issuing body.
- Search the CPSC recall database and record the date; a no-match result is not a safety guarantee.
- Stop use if the product becomes unusually hot, damaged, discolored, loose, or electrically unstable.
