I need to buy a jump starter for my personal use. I had a dead battery the other day and no one around to help. I saw a video Scotty did a few years ago recommending the TOPVISION G26 for around $90. I looked on Amazon and it's no longer available.
I'd like to stay around that same price with the performance of that one (he said it would start cars where other jump packs wouldn't)
Thank you in advance.

If you look at the upper right corner of this page you'll see a "Tools" link.
Click on it and then on "Emergency Items".
There, Scotty recommends the NOCO Boost Plus GB40 1000A UltraSafe Car Battery Jump Starter
My dad bought this for me before I went up to college, works great.
+1 for NoCo. That’s what I have and it works great
I've had a Noco BoostPlus for a couple of years and it works well, but not quite enough power to start a car with a completely dead battery.
Scotty has recommended the Hulkman boosters in some of his videos so I recently bought a Hulkman "Alpha 85" and it works great. It had no problem starting up one of my vehicles whose battery had gone down so far the interior light wouldn't even turn on and still had nearly all of its charge left afterwards.

yeah but @db42 wants to stay in the $90 price range
Project Farm recommended the Gooloo GP4000 and the GP2000 jump starters several years ago. Both models are currently below $100 at Amazon. https://youtu.be/ixWPx79g3yk?t=1171
I have two of the Type S ones from Costco. They worked well, until my battery was too far gone. Then I needed to call AAA. Hahaha.
Regardless of which one you get, just make sure to keep them charged.
AAA is only $5 a month.
Thank you all for the responses. There are so many out there it's hard to tell which ones are good.
