I purchased one to use in my off grid cabin. I use a generator but in some cases I do not want to run the generator for the just the tv . I plug my 32'' smart tv into tis inverter (4AH Battery) and can run the tv for 2 hours no problem. Has worked well over the last 4 trips to our cabin. Will run my table lamp 5 hours .
have had mine since it was released. taken it camping for 4 weeks ran both usb and 120v fans and LED work lights and tested 12W lights on jobs its great not one problem
update 9/21/2020 still going strong. I used it to test 15 disk lights in a basement that had no other electrical on yet. also used it to charge a Ion pathfinder 2 bluetooth speaker.
I use this with the 9ah battery. It works great powering my portable refrigerator for few hour until I return to the car. It's also great for light field work like powering a soldering iron
same exact thing happened to my USB ports.... they failed, but Ryobi did send me a new one... I hope the new one doesnt also fail! your review was great, it felt like you were explaining my situation exactly. thanks
I bought one a couple of days ago and for grins, hooked it up to a 50W speaker and a separate 100W sub woofer. I streamed some Mark Knopfler at medium volume. When used together the speakers were pulling about 30 Watts and about .8 amps. Worked great.
Bought an open box return on Ebay for $40 about 3 months ago. It arrived DOA-I took it apart and found a blown 25A automotive fuse inside....The fuse has to be desoldered and resoldered. I use the USB everyday at work to keep my phone charged. When we had a power outage this thing allowed me to use many low power devices (cats litter box) which really saved the day.
@@walkersonneville5036 Look at the back where it plugs in or where the cord goes into the coffee maker. It should show the power consumption. If it's over 150W then no, something like that is probably over 150W. We had a power outage where I live a few months ago. House got really cold....Recently I tested my fireplace fan and realized it will run the fan for an hour or two on a 4AH battery. Next time power goes out we won't have to freeze!
I purchased one of these in May 2019. I use the USB ports almost daily and haven't had any issues. I've also used the AC port to power portable refrigerators and other devices. As long as I use devices that are under the 150W or 1.25A rating it's been great. I have been very happy with this purchase. Nice review.
I’ve had mine since 2019 as well and I’ve also had only awesome feedback. I used mine daily going through several batteries each day while commuting 5 daily hours on a train and it was a life saver. I left a battery and charger at work and would just rotate the one I used on the commute in then it would go home with me the next day. I hope more people read about the good experiences with this because when I saw ‘do not buy’ on the thumbnail of this video I had to watch the video and though I respect the very likely chance the reviewer got some bad luck lemons I wanted to vouch for this item in my own experience… this powered/charged my iphones, iPads, misc usb charge gadgets and started many a conversation when helping fellow commuters who were in a jam to charge their devices on the train. In the process of Getting the 40V version so that I can use my MacBooks as well. Cheers all
Just got this as a gift. So far it's nice, but it goes through batteries very quickly. I crunched the numbers and found it was only about 70 percent efficient while charging my phone through the USB ports
@@TRYtoHELPyou I also plan on doing a more accurate efficiency test. I'll take a full P107 and see how much power it can put out of the USB and outlet before the battery is empty. I'll measure it using a USB doctor and kill-a-watt respectively
I tested the USB ports and off a full P107 I got 3375 mah. That is 16.875 watt hours, meaning it's about 60% efficient with the USB ports. I'll do a similar test with the outlet and update this reply The outlet was about 63% efficient. My kill-a-watt wasn't precise enough so I found the efficiency of one of my USB power bricks and then used that and the current from the USB doctor to find the efficiency of the inverter itself.
I use it to run holiday LED lights, laptop, 20w hot glue gun, modem and router, led tv's, evadry 9w mini dehumidifier, will run various fans for various time periods depending on size, can run a bunch of 100w equivalent LED bulbs, electric blanket/heating pad, etc. It is a modified sine wave but that doesn't really matter for anything that is bridge rectified to DC.
Cool review. Been debating buying a lightweight power source to charge my e-scooters during longer trips. Not sure I'm sold on this one, but it's helpful to know that you can get an extra 6+ miles off of it.
Tks for the good words. There are so many options. If you are looking to charge the scooters a LOT, perhaps a diy thing would make more sense. The ego 400 watt pure sine wave inverter is also really nice when needing to output 20 watts or more. (It shuts off automatically in 2 hours otherwise)
I bought this to power a few Christmas Lights on my car for a Christmas Cruise. Didn’t make it through the whole cruise and had 5 batteries. Each fully charged battery was dead within 15 minutes. I was happy with how fast it charged my iPhone, but not $80-$90 happy. It should be listed at $19.99.
You must have been using non-led bulbs, yeah? My problem mainly was with the USB ports failing, so I'm glad it's working for you. Eventually the AC portion of the thing went bad on me.
@@MIKES0029 $20 is killer for one of these. I got mine for ~$30 during a promo, and I felt that was a fair price. Regular price on these is $59.97 now, so it did come down from the original ~$80 release price. That's not as low as the "regular" price has been though, because I remember in 2020 the shelf price was $54.97 for quite a while.
No issues with mine. If you really want to you can 3D print Ryobi holders and solder multiple connectors in parallel by a 20V to 12VDC 40A buck converter and get 480W out of a few of these batteries in parallel with a typical 12V car inverter of your choice.
My USB ports also failed and Ryobi said I was out of warranty and therefore would not replace. Devices show charging when plugged into USB but never charge and in some cases seem to discharge faster. Very disappointed with Ryobi's response. They know they have an issue.
No prob, just keep in mind my experience may be rare, given the comments. That or people hear the beep boop and are like, "ah it's working" yet it isn't providing current. I bought the 800 watt inverter recently that uses the one+ batteries and/or 12v car batt. It seems good. I have used the USB ports a lot so far and am satisfied.
Some people: "Why can't I run my clothes washer on this?" Same people: "I'm building a cigarette boat and salvaged a push mower motor to power it. Didn't win any races, though. How come?" Ancient Aliens meme guy: "I'm not sayin' it was math... but it was math."
Thanks, I was looking at this for a light weight power source to take up in my roof top tent. to run my USB powered lights and to charge my phone. Im sad that the USBs failed frequently, but glad I didn't have to spend 80 bucks to find out. Best of luck. Keep sharing.
Thanks for the good words. Yeah, i had some bad experiences overall. It has finally kicked the bucket. Not everyone is saying their USB ports fail but.... well i wont be making any more purchases with this one. I do have the Rigid batteries and the USB (only one port) for that. It works well. no AC plug tho. Dewalt is likely your best choice if you want quality.
I just built myself a little adapter for like 5$ for that. I took a 12-24V car usb charger, built it into a bit of pvc pipe that fits over the batteries, and voila, 2.4amp usb character that runs of ryobi batteries for 5$ and some spare parts.
This has been the handiest little thing. If I use my usb adapter that came with my phone it charges faster than the wall outlet. Only thing I think it is missing is a lanyard strap.
But it DOES have the mounting point for one, meaning we're a mere piece of cord, a cable-tie, or an actual lanyard away from having it tethered to something. So that's good.
I just used this to charge rechargeable battery’s size d -aaa and when I started the aaa I used the USB port to recharge my iPhone battery. I admit the iphone was only at 50 % but it’s almost done charging at about 1 hr using a 3ah battery
Well, I got one and use it to power up my Sony 2010 Shortwave radio. I put a V.M. on the USB port and it reads 9v, supposed to be 5v, but it wasn't under a load and not sure if it should make a difference. But it didn't leave me feeling very comfortable about using that port.
You are amazing to listen to buddy. There was a few times I smiled and laughed during the review just by the way you said certain things. Loved it. I will say 90 dollhairs for this thing is high. And so is the 60 they are asking now. I can buy a proper 400w inverter for 20 or 30. Only 150 watts at 60? Yikes. I ended up making my own out of spare parts. Neat tool though!
Wow another amazing super great video info and analysis from absolutely the best channel on utube you hit this one out of the park again thank you and keep up the good work
I been thinking of getting something like this to power a ceiling fan in my storage unit to circulate the air. It draws less electricity than a light bulb so should this be fine for that?
I highly recommend something else. This power source is not very good it may work for a ceiling fan however you will have to change the battery every 10 hours or so with the 9ah battery...
I just think it's not very good is all... Mine is already fully broke. I changed the title to this video a while back to "do not buy"... So keep that in mind.
on a 5 amp battery with a 150W/h load. 18x5 = 90w. - 10% efficiency loss = 80w So your 150W load will only operate for about 32 minutes on a 5 amp battery.
I have had much better luck with their 300 watt 40-volt inverter which I will be giving a full test this summer on an 2000 mile RV trip out west. I am still waiting for the 40-volt 3000-watt inverter version of the Ego competitor we keep hearing rumors of ... will it happen? Let’s hope they design it well & make it robust enough I don’t need to install an inverter in my RV just for my electronics on a Lon trip, etc. Here is to the bright future of possibilities!
Stumbled on your channel from this video. I can't seem to justify this over the cheaper 120 watt automotive 12v hybrid model. Sure this just chonks on, but functionally, i dont know how many devices commonly used require those extra 30 watts. Your gaming laptop idea is perhaps one that would need that extra wattage, but it still functions on lower wattage, as long as you keep activity low, and when you crank up the activity, it would run on battery i assume. But yea, i'm comparing the two right now to determine which one i would buy
Well, I would not suggest this one but definitely looking at that hybrid. In fact, I bought the 800 watt one a while back and it is brilliant. Writing a review script soon. Trying to get back to uploading.
Do you know if this would power the Hampton Bay 24-Light Indoor/Outdoor 48 ft. String Light with S14 Single Filament LED Bulbs? I want to put these on my patio but I don’t have power in the back yard.
I appreciate this. It is not the problem tho. I was and am fully aware of the need for the button to be on for it to function properly. I wish this was the answer, it was not for me.
I have one of these always the best use it camping ,traveling ,and had to live homeless for 19 months it did the joe excellent every need of chargeing iphone to plugging in lights at craft festival .for my booth. i notice you hada 18 volts charger those are only for out door lawn equipment only .use the 4 hr battery by ryobi..
This is straight from the product webpage ". This power source utilizes 18V ONE+ batteries for 150 watts of convenient, portable power". There are no "lawn equipment use only" ONE+ batteries.
I wanted one for when our blackouts during this monsoon season, but decided not too with all the bad reviews. Spent the same money on a Stanley fatmax charger jumper inflator. No 120v, but that's okay. My USB ports work! Lol
I appreciate the assist here but I did this several times. One person also claimed it was the larger batteries that was doing it (they are all one+) so I tried them all. The USB ports were dead. I want to be wrong about it but I thoroughly tested it, tried it out. It broke.
I'm on my second one. First one barely ran a desk fan.. unplugged that and tried to charge my phone. Nothing. Inadvertently shook it and something was rattling around in there. Just got a replacement. We'll see what this one does. Don't have high hopes after this video. I think Techronics just conveniently forgot about these things. As they frequently do.
I've made DC power banks from old Ryobi chargers 1 9ah battery will make 3 pots of coffee ( 12 volt coffee maker) or will run 12 volt cooler for about 6 hours. I made a 6 port from an old defunked 6 port charger I'm thinking of using it as a power wall in my camper. Since my solar controler has a 12 volt outlet and I have a 12 volt Ryobi car charger I could recharge the batteries off either the truck or panels....I used to use the USB on my Ryobi radio to charge my phone at night camping...it also went bad on me😒 I'm thinking they're just plain cheap parts bought in bulk
after your review I don't know, I was considering buying the air cannon but on another review they said id be better off buying this inverter and a high viscosity. Fan and I'd get better results...somebody tell me what they think?
I tried that, on a 4 amp battery I plugged my floor fan in. The max power on my fan is 110W. No a very long run. Even when I set the to fan to level 1 it still doesn't run for a long period.
All depends. Most vacuums are 400 or more watts. 200 for the tiny stick vacs. So no most likely. You are better off getting one of the many cordless stick vacuums the tool companies make. I have the Makita and the Ryobi. Ryobi for carpet, and the Makita for the hardwood.
Did you delete my post? Was that outside of commonly accepted humor or some other way not fit for consumption? Sorry if so, was just playin round. Or so I thought .. damn .. we got rulez?. N Stuff.
Ok will try again, just making sure I didn't hit a chord o dissonance er sumfin. Somethin real weirdly likes. Like that one fellar whut use to work n down theres at the petrol station. Went an fetched hisself a case of the consumption when he was jess a LiL poke n carried round with him everywheres after. Boy wassun rite. Like That? Cause if it was like that then wahoOOooowWeeyyy nah I understand. Surely do.
This ryobi power source is so dumb it's not even funny, I own a few ryobi power tools and I like them they work just fine but when I order this power source it was just terrible I returned it so fast it wood not turn on anything don't waste your money on that it's a no no.
You probably don't use them much and/or you leave it on the charger for a while. Just make sure that you get oem batteries. I have two batteries, p108 and p105 and they have lasted three years, work like new. Might just be variation in quality
I had two of the 1.5mAh batteries die on me over the last few years. I think it is from leaving them connected to the tools while not in use. The batteries are supposed to stop working when they've been drained to a certain point, but if they are drained further, the charger is not able to start charging and displays an error. I've seen some videos of some people drilling a whole into the battery and hardwiring a charger to "jump" the battery. Just don't keep your batteries connected when not using the tool.
This tool does suck. Milwaukee is way better. Im glad i didnt buy this ryobi ,a friend got it and gave it to me. I thought it would work as good as my Milwaukee but nope .
I purchased one to use in my off grid cabin. I use a generator but in some cases I do not want to run the generator for the just the tv .

You're correct, it DOES NOT output a true sine wave. It's more of a square wave, not great for some power supplies.
this review is utterly perfect. nailed it

Let's hope so. My faith in Ryobi is dwindling fast.be safe!
Did you get wildly rich making videos?
Stumbled on your channel from this video. I can't seem to justify this over the cheaper 120 watt automotive 12v hybrid model. Sure this just chonks on, but functionally, i dont know how many devices commonly used require those extra 30 watts. Your gaming laptop idea is perhaps one that would need that extra wattage, but it still functions on lower wattage, as long as you keep activity low, and when you crank up the activity, it would run on battery i assume.
But yea, i'm comparing the two right now to determine which one i would buy
Well, I would not suggest this one but definitely looking at that hybrid. In fact, I bought the 800 watt one a while back and it is brilliant. Writing a review script soon. Trying to get back to uploading.
Do you know if this would power the Hampton Bay 24-Light Indoor/Outdoor 48 ft. String Light with S14 Single Filament LED Bulbs? I want to put these on my patio but I don’t have power in the back yard.
Yup
To use the USB you have to turn on the switch just like you have to for the AC port. That is probably why you are having problems.
I appreciate this. It is not the problem tho. I was and am fully aware of the need for the button to be on for it to function properly. I wish this was the answer, it was not for me.
@@TRYtoHELPyou yes
does is charge the ryobi one battery?
I have one of these always the best use it camping ,traveling ,and had to live homeless for 19 months it did the joe excellent every need of chargeing iphone to plugging in lights at craft festival .for my booth. i notice you hada 18 volts charger those are only for out door lawn equipment only .use the 4 hr battery by ryobi..
This is straight from the product webpage ". This power source utilizes 18V ONE+ batteries for 150 watts of convenient, portable power". There are no "lawn equipment use only" ONE+ batteries.
Can I out a 13 A to this device?? 156 watts
I have one....and love it !!
I wanted one for when our blackouts during this monsoon season, but decided not too with all the bad reviews. Spent the same money on a Stanley fatmax charger jumper inflator. No 120v, but that's okay. My USB ports work! Lol
DO Buy, that is a good deal for the price, just use the power to usb adapter if you have problems, Mine works fine
Mine is fully broken now and i am not going to buy another any time soon. Poor quality 2x is not good.
It has a protection thingy inside just unplug the battery wait for 3 seconds slap it back on and it should work if it doesn't repeat this step
I appreciate the assist here but I did this several times. One person also claimed it was the larger batteries that was doing it (they are all one+) so I tried them all. The USB ports were dead. I want to be wrong about it but I thoroughly tested it, tried it out. It broke.
I have it for back up
Is it possible to have 2 ryobi Inverter and parallel them to increase wattage?
I'm inside but willing to try the second I get a second one (sent first back)
do not try. they will be out of sync and blow the inverter
Will it power a ryobi charger
I'm on my second one. First one barely ran a desk fan.. unplugged that and tried to charge my phone. Nothing. Inadvertently shook it and something was rattling around in there. Just got a replacement. We'll see what this one does. Don't have high hopes after this video. I think Techronics just conveniently forgot about these things. As they frequently do.
Check the fuse
Would it power a evolution 255 mitre saw do you think?
Absolutely not, unsure of the brand. But, no saws.
Your yes and no’s 😂 this is a legit joke at helpful review! Thank you so much! You should do more power inverter reviews
Thanks for the good words. Lots of life going on. One day
No usb problem here I use it for my coffee warmer and phone charger in the morning.
Yeah, I just had two bad ones in a row. I'm done with them for now.
I've made DC power banks from old Ryobi chargers 1 9ah battery will make 3 pots of coffee ( 12 volt coffee maker) or will run 12 volt cooler for about 6 hours. I made a 6 port from an old defunked 6 port charger I'm thinking of using it as a power wall in my camper. Since my solar controler has a 12 volt outlet and I have a 12 volt Ryobi car charger I could recharge the batteries off either the truck or panels....I used to use the USB on my Ryobi radio to charge my phone at night camping...it also went bad on me😒 I'm thinking they're just plain cheap parts bought in bulk
Interesting!, I'd like to see a video of how you made the power banks.
after your review I don't know, I was considering buying the air cannon but on another review they said id be better off buying this inverter and a high viscosity. Fan and I'd get better results...somebody tell me what they think?
air..... cannon?
@@TRYtoHELPyou 18" hybrid floor fan.
I tried that, on a 4 amp battery I plugged my floor fan in. The max power on my fan is 110W. No a very long run. Even when I set the to fan to level 1 it still doesn't run for a long period.
This will work with a vacuum?
All depends. Most vacuums are 400 or more watts. 200 for the tiny stick vacs. So no most likely. You are better off getting one of the many cordless stick vacuums the tool companies make. I have the Makita and the Ryobi. Ryobi for carpet, and the Makita for the hardwood.
I bought and love it. I use it to recharge my laptop battery when it's off.
Lets be neighbors
I think you don't know anything about how voltage wattage and electricity works
Would this run a drip coffee maker?
No
Nope, waaaay too many watts.
Did you delete my post? Was that outside of commonly accepted humor or some other way not fit for consumption?
Sorry if so, was just playin round. Or so I thought .. damn .. we got rulez?. N Stuff.
Hmm. None are held for review or marked as spam. I do have a word filter because some comments are pure trash and often they use vulgar phrases.
Ok will try again, just making sure I didn't hit a chord o dissonance er sumfin. Somethin real weirdly likes.
Like that one fellar whut use to work n down theres at the petrol station. Went an fetched hisself a case of the consumption when he was jess a LiL poke n carried round with him everywheres after.
Boy wassun rite.
Like That? Cause if it was like that then wahoOOooowWeeyyy nah I understand. Surely do.
This ryobi power source is so dumb it's not even funny, I own a few ryobi power tools and I like them they work just fine but when I order this power source it was just terrible I returned it so fast it wood not turn on anything don't waste your money on that it's a no no.
You put the RYOBI sticker back on upside down....
I tried putting it on inside out, this was all I was able to do.
Don't buy, proceeds to buy multiple batteries
Haha. They have a lot of tools. I have slowed down a bit tho
Mine failed after a year. Poor quality
I have this works great
Glad to hear, I has two bad experiences in a row, was silly :/.
Check it with a vom meter for
Bad circuits
Fuse blew, I replaced it. Now it has a red light only. The thing is a real turd.
Can two of these inverters be connected in parallel to double output? (300 watt)
night, as the voltages will be out of sync and fry the inverter when connecting in parallel
Yes
I would never buy one after watching this.
Unless you have a grip of the batteries and don't mind spending the money, irs best to avoid. My experience may just be a bad one, tho.
lol I like how you speak, subbed
you saved me from buying this.
My ryobi batteries die within a year - what's up with that?
You probably don't use them much and/or you leave it on the charger for a while. Just make sure that you get oem batteries. I have two batteries, p108 and p105 and they have lasted three years, work like new. Might just be variation in quality
I had two of the 1.5mAh batteries die on me over the last few years. I think it is from leaving them connected to the tools while not in use. The batteries are supposed to stop working when they've been drained to a certain point, but if they are drained further, the charger is not able to start charging and displays an error. I've seen some videos of some people drilling a whole into the battery and hardwiring a charger to "jump" the battery. Just don't keep your batteries connected when not using the tool.
I saved 59.97 at Home Depot on this. I didn't buy it..
Ha. Lots of people say it's good but man, two in a row with issues. No thanks.
This tool does suck. Milwaukee is way better. Im glad i didnt buy this ryobi ,a friend got it and gave it to me. I thought it would work as good as my Milwaukee but nope .
Sounds like a piece of crap. Too bad they would put out such a crapily made device.
PRO PRO PRO it acts as a charger when attached to the solar panel
This is literally false.
Does all those batteries work on ryobi p271 drill driver
Any ONE+ works with ONE+.
