If you want to trade in your dirty, messy, and loud gas generator for something quiet, clean, and just as powerful, you have 3 options. Either the @MilwaukeeTool MX FUEL Carry-On, the @Egopowerplus Nexus Portable Power Station, or the @dewalttv 1800w Portable Power Station.
Today we look at all 3, test this in a few different environments, and tell you which one you should buy. Let's Go!

@@ToolShow Seriously !!!!!!! Solar panel what idea 😅🤣😂
@@ToolShow what an amazing addition! Geez
He told u
When you live or work off grid miles from any electric socket the gas generator is still king.
Also if the power ever goes out for, oh lets say several days, generator is defiantly king
Which is weird how none have solar recharge capability
If you're working where there's no electricity then there's probably no point to be working there in the first place.
@@jew_world_order wear i live no home have power going to them from 9200 ft up in the high rocky mt good day
@@jew_world_order dumb comment of the week.
So all I need is an E-go, and a Yamaha gas genny to charge my E-go.
When the gas runs out in generator, one minute later you have 100% capacity to keep going. When these run out of juice... see you tomorrow and in the while one must find a place that can provide electricity for them to recharge. Apples and oranges. One (gas) is power GENERATING source and another temporary battery BACKUP.
There is also the glaring fact that these our not efficient, just because you put 100 kilowatt-hours in doesn't mean you're going to get 100 kilowatt-hours out. I'd be amazed if these things are more than 85%
Such tiny batteries certainly aren't credible competition for a gas tank on endurance and refill convenience. The real interesting stuff inverter-wise will come when EV manufacturers settle on an interactive charging standard: imagine having an inverter you can simply plug into your EV to power a job site or provide backup power to your home, just need to set aside enough range to get to the second nearest working fast-charger.
This things sound like something to take to a place where OSHA is watching....pretty much California.
Still need a generator to recharge. What's the point?
@@briancasey4917 The main use case would be for short jobs away from grid power where you may not necessarily want to bring a generator. Those could also come in handy if you have a generator you only want to run as-needed to avoid wasting fuel on inefficient light-load regime.
Nothing beats my Honda generator, even after 12 years of hard use.
Can it take solar?
Still beaten by every yamaha generator of similar power ever made.
@@RogueCylon Gay it down, only gasoline/diesel can power an airconditioner overnight, plus theres no sun at night. Real men has big equipment, and big generators too.
Ego should come out with a power wall. That would make so much sense. Use it on a daily basis to capture energy from solar panels on your roof, but then you can simply just pop out a couple batteries to mow your lawn, or take them all out when you go camping. Or get lots of extra batteries so if the power goes down you've got plenty for your home ready to go. And because the batteries are easily swappable you wont have to replace the whole power wall when the batteries become less efficient. This makes so much sense...
EGO DO THIS!!!
Yessss
The “sun” hint at the end of the video makes me think you might be on to something! And even if you’re not, it’s a great idea.
Ego a no go. Even if you could charge it from the sun it will probably take a week to fully charge. Plus you can't use it to power anything while it's charging either by solar or wall plug. No thanks !
@@7sonero7 Do you mean the current generator? Because that's not what I'm talking about. They could very easily design a modular power wall unit that takes their current battery platform that's expandable. And modern solar panels are nearing 40% efficiency. If they're installed properly and get plenty of light, they'll charge plenty fast.
@@todddammit4628 Yes I was talking about the current model that he reviewed.
The EGO certainly is priced well. And Pure Sine Wave...
What you have to say about the EGO inverter is going to be a "Bright" idea. It will be able to power anything and everything under the "Sun".
BWAHAHAHAHAH I should have had you write for me this week Shadowz!
@@ToolShow Everyone knows about the solar controller it is offering. It was leaked out a month ago with images and specs. The Ego looks great BUT the solar controller is only going to charge at a really slow rate. Over a days worth of sun. Even slower then the standard charger that it comes with. What would be great is adding a fast charger to the Ego. That would be an eye opener.
Im a die-hard Milwaukee fan but I have to admit the DeWalt seems like a better unit for me. I like the idea of it using its own tool batteries instead of a battery that can only be used for it. I also like you can plug it in to charge the batteries. The Milwaukee shutting down under 80 watts is really stupid.
Milwaukee does make an M18 version of the carry-on
@@davidperry4013 I haven’t seen that yet. I will look it up! Thanks for the reply!
I'll stick with the 40 V ryobi
I have a hybrid solution. Use EGO power station as primary, when it gets low then charge it up with inverter gas generator. I think this setup provides a much more efficient and quiet usage. The fast charger restores battery fast, and if you have multiple then the gas doesn't run that long. At night I think this EGO unit will last without having the noisy gas generator running. I don't think 1 will every take over the other, but that's just my take.
had the dewalt. worked pretty well for short bursts of power, but anything constant sucked the batteries down way faster than expected. sold it and bought a honda eu2200i. clean, endless power. and it runs forever on a single gallon of gas. gas still wins.
Thanks for this video. I have owned the DeWalt for over a year and have only used it to charge my multitude of DeWalt batteries, but haven’t needed to use it. At home I have an automatic whole house generator and my Ram Truck has 400 amp power outlets, so when I’ve been out, I’ve powered tools from the Ram. You’ve made me comfortable bringing the DeWalt to sites where I won’t have to keep my truck running, and more, where I won’t have to be “tied” close to my truck! I appreciate your video.
The versatility of the dewalt as far as jobsite use makes the most sense to me. if you are in the dewalt system that is.
That's what I was thinking
it did to me too bc i had a bunch of the 20v batteries. it did well for short bursts of power, but anything constant really wasnt impressive. sold it and bought a honda 2200i. worth every penny
Already have several Ego batteries, would probably go with that. The closed loop definitely helps with electronics, and as a backup power source for a refrigerator I would be happy with it.
"They say the generator doesn't work Bob!"
"Oh, just tell them it's a feature Bill!"
I cant stop laughing. Lulzrofl
MX is not really for regular people but they should have a button to toggle power save mode
EGO SAYS “If you got inverter problems I feel bad for ‘son’. I got 99 batteries and DeWalkee ain’t one “
I got 3 grand in DeWalt batteries problems solve! Make sure if your working where there no electricity you carry a gas generator to recharge your battery bank 🤣
Lmao 😂😂😂
The comparison I needed!!! I like the Ego but my concern is recharging it after it's been drained. A solar panel connection would be ideal.
That was a really good breakdown of the 3 products. I actually learned something new. Great job
Glad it was helpful!
I'm definitely in the Dewalt fan club just because I've used it the most and have the most experience with it and think it is the best out of the group overall
way more flexible in battery choice and cheaper if upfront especially if you already have a bunch of batteries laying around
NOTE: At 5:17 I mention that the cold didn't make much of a difference and then wrongly state that EGO lost a half second (per WH), DeWALT stayed the same, and Milwaukee gained a half second. In both cases the change should have been stated as "1/20th of a second", not "1/2". in other words the difference almost wasn't worth mentioning at all. Sorry for the confusion.
Forgiven.
@@ThisTall 😊
Your cold test is wrong in all aspects. Firstly running batteries during the cold, has no effect on the batteries, Due to Discharge heat up.
Batteries 'heat up' during charging and during discharge. So using batteries in cold temps, Will not have any performance lost.
What will make batteries loose performance, Is letting them sit out for awhile. Say 12hours to a full day. The colder temps will harden the batteries crystals and not allow much flow of ions to pass between the electrical power. So it'll says the batteries have 'dropped' a fair % due to the frozen crystals inside the batteries. But once they reheat due to charge or discharge. They'll sorta even out again. But you'll loose maybe 5% or so. But again this only happens when a battery has been left out UNUSED in the colder temps. Why electric things work and perform Well in colder temps due to the lower heating up of the batteries when they discharge or even charge. So they have much higher performance while running.
I like the fact that you keep pushing other options to gas powered back-ups but I don't know what to do if an EMP attack happens?
@@lonew2657 You do realize that A lot of gas powered generators also use electrical systems. So even for a EMP, Those will not work ether.
Plus A gas generator converts energy by spinning a magnetic electric wheel, to convert the gas motor to electrical power, But that's pure electrical power and might not be good for devices. So it goes into a Inverter that is a Electrical board, that keeps it at a stable power point that's lower then what the electric motor is producing.
The gas motor won't have any effect. But the electric motor and the board/chips/inverter and other devices will fry the same way as a electric Generator/battery would. So Gas isn't better for a EMP.
Love the explanation of the why each one is ideal for certain people.
Thanks Michael. These companies are way too big and invested to just produce “junk”. But it’s worth noting that they made these for different reasons, and with different people in mind.
Midwestern grandparents: Are you trying to heat the whole outdoors?
You guys: Yep.
I went with the Dewalt simply because I have plenty of batteries. When I use the generator during power outages I can charge the batteries when it is not under full load and then use the battery pack to power critical items when the generator is off .
Time to go buy the ego one since I was looking at getting one
As a Milwaukee guy I like the dewalt inverter. Milwaukee needs to make a m18 inverter. The sound of that Milwaukee shutting down after an hour sounds terrible. They better fix that or just make the m18 version
Great comparison / review! Ego yard tools are fantastic and this would be a great add on option.
I have the DeWalt one, most of my tools are battery operated, only time I used it was to power a big compressor to nail the sheeting on a house, everyone was impressed that it was able to power it
Thanks for the thorough review! Getting an EGO inverter stat!
Great review. I would just add that the modified sine wave Dewalt won’t power a microwave properly, it works but takes 2-3 times longer to heat anything. Still a great product.
Great info Doug! Thanks!
Milwaukee just sent us the updated MX Carry-On! You can see it here: ua-cam.com/video/uyluhW3Y2w4/v-deo.html

@@victoriastone3463 Sooo in other words, it was a purposeful gimmick to get people to subscribe?
I love it when you say, you can't tell me until Friday...
And then I realize this video is 3 days old and it's now Saturday. ;-)
Did he ever say anything? I can't find a video on it.
@@ixD9 this is what i am wading through all the comments to find
...a month later...
I built my own 1500W inverter for about $300 in parts, it will use either 3 or 6 Milwaukee M18 batteries, and if you use 6x 12AH that gives you 50% more than the DeWalt. Not as tough and sturdy, but much less expensive. I built a smaller 500W one too, that can use 1 or two Milwaukee batteries. They're both pretty darn handy.
Any guides on how you built it?
@@elmateo487 Not yet, but I'm thinking about it. I already reserved a UA-cam channel for DIY-ing stuff.
I will definitely benefit more from the Nexus, I have their lawn equipment so I have plenty of batteries. I’m a huge Milwaukee fan with a good collection but, that MX may be overkill for me. I can’t wait for Milwaukee to start producing the M18 version soon.
that mx seems like it's for a different application than the DeWalt (also a lot more expensive) so an M18 version would be a lot more comparable
Thank you for sharing your insights and honest comments. Fingers are crossed that Milwaukee will be able to fix that 80-watt shutoff cut point. This video comparison was truly enjoyable to watch!
Thanks Mike! Keep this between the two of us, but we're working on a dirt cheap fix for that "feature", and if it works, we'll share the video shortly.
@@ToolShow why do I get this feeling the "fix" will be a 100w incandescent bulb screwed into a socket that will plug into one of the 2 outlets? 🤣
@@shadowzedge5793 that would be extremely wasteful. Reducing the capacity to 8 hours, which does nobody any good... A nice choice would be have a secret override switch that stops the timer, or something in the Milwaukee app that you can override every time you turn it on, that way you don't accidentally kill the batteries when you forgot to turn it off.
@@IceBergGeo we wondered why Milwaukee didn’t just make ONE-KEY send you a notification when you’re only pulling 80w, and let you decide if you should shut it off.
@@ToolShow that doesn't work when you're sleeping, at home, and you want your fridge/fan/whatever to run through the night, like a generator would...
Great job, It felt like I was watching network tv. Great content and well composed.
I’d go with the Ego especially since they are going to make it solar rechargeable
I think project farm would be proud, love the review. EGO coffee maker?
WOAH there Gabriel, I'm no where near Todd's level. But I'm humbled by the comparison. Thanks for watching, and for the compliment! Also, YES to the EGO Coffee Maker please.
When I first started watching Project Farm it did not have that many viewers, he could actually reply to most of the comments. Now the channel is world famous! I guess getting direct feedback from him on your comments was fun while it lasted.
I agree. Project farm equals less talking more testing real world applications
I'll take the 5% hit, since one of the reasons I got the EGO power station was to power my CPAP machine in an outage. Frying the device that keeps me from choking to death in my sleep with fluctuating current or a modified (vs. pure) sine wave output is a risk I'm not willing to take to get an extra 3 minutes per hour of use.
Will a power breaker avoid all that? I have a CPAP too so I was just wondering
Great video. Thanks. And what about the new Festool power station in the systainer? Will you test it?
Really cool information thanks for sharing!
You'll still need the generator or AC to power them back up. If you're using them for a power outage, you better hope it's a short one. Generators are in no danger of being replaced any time soon if serious nonstop power is what you need!
yup
Except as they are banned and taxed into oblivion due to the new green laws. CA is first.
I really really wish Milwaukee made something more like the dewalt system I have 6 12.0 batteries that I would love use when I go road tripping
I was thinking the same thing.
You can charge the 12.0 off the mx... You can't do that with the dewalt one...
@@sbritton1313 from what I’ve seen the MX carry on is just not worth buying
If you running milwaukee batts just get 4 battery adaptors, the mx system doesn't come close to the dewalt power station and it came out in 2016
Thanks so much for answering the shut down concern about the Milwaukee!
Gladly.
Being able to use the Dewalt drill batteries making it universal is so key!!
“Where you bury the bodies” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Murdercloud’s gonna Murdercloud.
When I can send my helper down the gas station for 10 gallons of electricity i will buy one
Lmao, I think this is really supposed to be a supplement to gas generators to run low load equipment like lighting without unnessecary wear on the gas generator, which can run at a higher load and less frequently. Calling these battery packs "generators" is a complete joke, though.
That's kind of the way I feel. I have a couple small Jackery power stations and I really like them for charging electronics and running my ham radio. But if I need to run a refrigerator or freezer I am sticking with my Honda inverter generator.
I went into this skeptical as hell. Could I see this being of some use? Sure. The wife is a light sleeper and running a traditional generator is likely to keep her up. She'd probably prefer just to not use it at night. But is it really worth the cost? I got Dewalt tools so I'll use it as an example. The base model generator will run $450 (without batteries and without any discounts). That's already pretty high. I can buy a traditional generator for that much. But then you got to buy the batteries. The biggest batteries I have for Dewalt tools are some 5ah batteries. About half the capacity recommended for this unit. And each of the 9ah batteries will run you about $200 a piece. Put in 4 batteries, factor in any design changes by Dewalt, as well as battery shelf life ... and you might as well just call the guy on the phone to hook up an emergency generator to your home. And no I wouldn't buy a 9ah battery for my tools because the battery would cost more than the tool I'm using it with. I'm better off just buying the tool again and getting a 5 ah battery as part of the deal.
Yes, there are circumstances where something like this would beat a traditional generator. Both in weight and size. If you are at a remote location or one without power and you don't expect to be pulling a lot of juice at the build site, a generator like this might justify the cost. But how often are you in that situation? I'm not a contractor and my builds are limited so not enough to make this happen.
Now if this Dewalt generator was going for half the price it currently is, I'd really consider buying it and just using my existing supply of batteries. Even if I never used it. But at the current price? It is an easy no.
@@specialopsdave I'm talking about my torpedo heater, aint no way batteries are gonna keep a construction site warm
@@rich-qk7dc And that doesn't fall into the category I was talking about, which was low-load appliances. Heaters are ALWAYS high-load appliances, no matter what it's heating.
You forgot to mention the battery charge option for dewalt ! Makes sense to be able to just pull a battery and use it !
Love my ego zero turn so just ordered power unit..thx for the review
Sooo... Ego is finally going to release their solar solution?!? Or will it just be an "announcement"
I like to see these working straight 4-5 months after a hurricane, running a home and zero power.... I know, they are not meant for that.
That's when you bring out the dual Bluetti EP500 pros that can give you split phase 220v. Hardwire those suckers into your home, set up a solar array on the roof and apply for a federal tax credit to cover much of the cost!
I just found your channel.
Would love to see this again with the Ecoflow and the new Milwaukee as well.
The Ego thing that he will talk about on Friday it’s the Ego Solar Power Brick for the ego nexus and maybe solar panels compatible
I cannot confirm, nor deny this statement.
Dude I been wondering why these things don't come with solar compatability, if this is true, I may actually go with the EGO. I love milwaukee, but having that little bit of extra usefulness out of a tool is so wonderful.
Someone already has a video out talking about the solar charger for the Ego power station. ua-cam.com/video/Ocy2cvHnOJM/v-deo.html
I just hope it supports pass through charging. I doubt it but we will see. I already have a way to quick charge my ego batteries when the power goes down.
@@Tony-sy7ed it won’t, ull either have to charge or power
Ca you hot swap batteries in any of them? For example one at a time or will it lose power?
Just tried them. DeWALT - No. Milwaukee and EGO - YES.
I travel to the Sand dunes in my RV.that inverter would be awesome to use at night to power our TV
Fantastic review guys. Straight to the point and entertaining! Also gotta say being a milwaukee and ego guy that dewalt power station is pretty simple and awesome. And can't wait for the announcement about egos solar death ray attachment powered by 40ah of power!! :D
Did he ever post that announcement?
He did. But that solar death ray attachment is being pulled from the shelves. Seems people are not reading the manual (who knew?) and vaporizing themselves within minutes. Don't look down the barrel while it's plugged in Folks. Just common sense.
been waiting for EGO to be able to recharge by the sun (solar panel)
Have you heard of Bluetti? Look into the AC200P series, or it's bigger brother, the EP500 Pro which is set to release sometime in June. I will admit though, the EP500 is a BEAST. Very powerful but it weighs 145 lbs.
Gas is not done; In fact, I think one of these being intermittently charged by a gas generator makes a lot of sense from a fuel efficiency and noise control standpoint for campers who expect to be out for weeks at a time, so they can have constant power without running the generator for weeks nonstop at low loads, and rather running the generator at high loads to charge the battery, minimizing wear and fuel waste.
I personally have the ego inverter. It has been great during hurricanes because I can run it inside during the storm. Also I have all their lawn equipment which allows me to save my gas for the generator and not waste it in a lawn mower. As for the close loop inverter the ego uses, it is better for electronics and compressors since it controls the voltage. It may have a slightly lower efficiency than an open loop, but the voltage regulation is more important in my opinion.
I have been running the DeWalt power station for a few years now and love it. The only problem I’ve run across is it shorting out 2 of my portable heaters...not exactly sure why but that didn’t make me very happy. I never reported it to DeWalt, but maybe I should in case I have a faulty unit.
It could be because it’s not a pure sine wave inverter. Modified sine wave inverter scan power most things with no problems but have issues with certain types of loads
So what happens when you run out of power on the job and without electricity to charge them? Do you pull your generator out to charge these then? 🤣
This is for people who are already on wireless tools and only have a few things that are wired, if you don't have enough batteries you shouldn't even consider buying this
@@RikoRey92 "NO MORE Gas Generators!" thats not what the title says

Here's what they will have available for solar charging. ua-cam.com/video/Ocy2cvHnOJM/v-deo.html found this in the Ego Facebook group
I have the dewalt and the ego. Very handy for blackout time.
Dude you are the king of “what if scenario”
These don't even stand up to a gas generator. I have a 4600 watt gen will run on 3.5 gal gas almost all day about 14 hours. It will power most of my house. In your wildest dreams those battery packs could not do that.
I regularly run my generator to power the house for 8-12 hours straight when the power goes out.... which battery powered unit will replace my gasoline unit?
I’m ready to switch
Only one here would be the EGO with quite a few extra batteries. :-)
Looks nice, would be good for camping and emergency
I have the DeWalt power station and for the first time found something that wouldn’t run on it, my 2 HP pancake compressor. This will run my table saw with vacuum or router with vacuum; I’ve run 2 sump pumps a 3/4 HP and 1 HP. I like the fact that the unit works with any mix of 20V batteries including FlexVolt batteries. While the DeWalt isn’t true sign wave I haven’t had any issues running a TV or my security DVR and cameras while also running my 3/4 HP garage door opener.
The ego is a beast, especially with 4 batteries; my uncle has this in his trailer for basically running whatever he needs.
Any of these should be good and if you have the batteries to back them up can go for a long time.
How do you spell the name of the green one? Can you hook it up to solar power?
It's the EGO Nexus Power Station. You can find it here: bit.ly/3y6lXCT And they just announced a solar charging attachment: bit.ly/3w4c7ja
Interested in how the Ryobi stacks up. Milwaukee needs to offer something like the Dewalt.
@@RaggedsEdge same
Just buy a Maxoak or Jackery 1500 and be done. Way more power and best inverters in the business

Respect for revealing modified sine wave on black an yellow
I want someone to do a comparison or simulated test between one of these and an equivalent gas generator on long life use, battery and gas/propane costs, etc. Would be interesting.
That is a very good suggestion.
Milwaukee needs to make a M18 version..... but that doesn’t shut off after an hour.
There's currently a single plug device now that goes on m18. I have one and it's pretty cool. It's not meant for huge power draws but I think it does like 170 w. It has 120v and 2 usb ports. It's great for charging small devices.
@@steveng4252 A small percussion drill is around 600w. A 5" grinder I'd around 1200w. That M18 top off is intended to charge laptop computers and tablets. Not run powertools.
All depends on what platform you are in...for me it’s EGO, so a no brainer. I do like the others as well, just not invested in their tools, only m12 fuel
so what you're saying is you don't use tools... EGO is around the house stuff.
@@virtuelspeaker where are you getting that from what I said? I use all my tools, a lot actually especially the ego tools. Ego does not make drills, saws, etc. ego is only OPE....I don’t need m18 or dewalt 60v, I prefer m12 for around the house which is what I use the tools for..I am not a carpenter or electrician, if I was I’d invest in m18/MXFuel
@@virtuelspeaker why would I buy this dewalt or Milwaukee inverter? I don’t have any of those batteries or tools, don’t have a need for them. I have tons of ego tools and batteries so if I were on the market for a power station the ego nexus would be my pick, “no brainer for me”......
Milwaukee m12 doesn’t have this sort of thing as the batteries and capacities are small.
@@michaelholly88 no disrespect my friend. I meant using like working day in day out with them, like tradesmen. But so far, the people complaining about the Milwaukee are people who are not working on jobsites. It's obviously not designed for camping or working around the house. The beauty of it is that it is on the MX platform. So, you need to use the other MX tools to make it even more worth it. That's what I meant.
@@michaelholly88 as far as the M12 platform, I believe it was designed for trades that requires ergonomic and efficient tools. M18 is for more performance and power. Of course you won't find anything in the M12 such as an inverter. Would completely defeat the purpose.
Totally changed my perspective on the MX platform... I was ready to get one of their generators hoping they might come out with a lawn mower and a snowblower on that platform.... Now I might have to go ego based on this review because I too would use it for camping and powering a refrigerator during an outage. I might also use it to power some power tools but apparently I can do all of that with an ego but not with the Milwaukee...
These aren't generators. They use batteries and have to be recharged.

@@sloanNYC Yeah that's not really useful for most things. They should make a simple converter/inverter that runs off of 10 m18 batteries.
Commenting for the sake of commenting
Not the comment we all need... but the comment we deserve.
Predator 3500 generator is 850.00 and is capable of around 8250 watt hours on 2.6 gallons of gas which around here is about 2.80 a gallon last I checked so $7.50. Total investment for first use is half the Dewalt and still 150.00 cheaper than the ego. If I wanted a second use without having to stop and recharge batteries it would be over $1000 dollars for the 4 batteries in the dewalt, 750 for the ego (1000 if you got the 10 amp hours he mentioned) and over 1200 for the Milwaukee batteries. So once again to use any of these twice without having to stop and recharge, ego 1750.00 , Dewalt $2500.00, Milwuakee 3200.00. Gas generators aren't going anywhere, they run in the cold the rain the snow, and most importantly they are simple and the more simple a device is the less it brakes and the cheaper it is to repair and replace. Lithium batteries are not known for their long usable life, how quickly does your phone battery stop holding a charge? You really want to replace 1000 dollars worth of batteries every year or 2 depending on how much you use this sort of device? In the same amount of time you'll need a 5 dollar spark plug for the gas generator and a couple oil changes. Im sure these have a their place and are useful to some but give me gas any day.
Great video! For some reason unknown to me at the moment - I need one of these 🤣 I think I figured out your hint - Solar panel charging??
WAT?! I have no idea what you’re talking about.
EU2200i.... thats is all.
When those run down you go charge 4-6 batts on a REAL generator. NOPE NOPE NOPE...
JCB'S new power pack would eat these for breakfast, it could run everything in yor house for 24 hours only one teeny little problem you would need a forklift to move it around 😁🤣😂😅🤣
I proudly purchased a gas generator 3 days ago. The global warmers are gonna feel the heat.
One of the most important advantages... these don't make tons of noise or expel toxic fumes which makes them viable to keep inside closed areas, like your home. Gas gregarious must be kept outside and are extremely loud and irritating.
Do you notice how he conveniently left out how long one of those gizmos last in one full charge without getting into the theoretical arithmetic division to find that out on your own?
All about the time tested smoke and mirrors mumbo jumbo.
“Twenty seven hundred lumens.” You mean 27,000 lumens.
YES! 27,000!!!
Yes, the EGo stands-out, I want to know , how many charge cycles are in the EGO batteries?
Awesome vid!
The Milwaukee MX is not highly anticipated, Milwaukee can shove that devices where the sun dosent shine... Because
- not M18
- no solar option
- ridiculously stupid rip off price
Tell them to make it M18, give it a solar option, and make the price comparable with the Dewalt
👆👏
When you lose power with these inverters, you recharge them for hours using Fossil Fuels. When you lose power with a generator, you add fuel and keep going.
You’re completely missing the purposes of these tools.
Great unbiased video. Thank you
I've watched several videos on the EGO Nexus and other stations like Eco-Flow, and the Bluetti. While the EGO has some strong points, some other manufacturers can be used and charged simultaneously. Also, the EGO seems to have an add on Solar Panel charging option which is pricey compared to some other Solar Generators such as Eco-Flow and Bluetti.
I use a generator for one thing, massive power failures, last hurricane my house was without power for 14 days. No rechargeable unit will run my house for 14 days. Imagine if I was stupid enough to have an electric car, like my neighbor who had to rent a car to get to work.
I dont see these as a generator replacement but as a quiet alternative energy source for when running a generator isn't practical or necessary.
But the first words in the title are, “ NO MORE gas generators,”. LOL I know you didn’t write it, but whoever did, ain’t that bright.
@@adrianb6073 Yeah, it's no replacement.
I have the DeWalt ands it’s been outstanding!
Good luck running my pipe treading machine off one of these. Might only get a few cuts
It won't, we tried with a test model, battery struggled on a small construction air compressor.
The best thing about the dewalt is that you can use those bateries to power up any of your dewalt tools but for the other tools that is not the case
