We just had a horrible winter storm blow through Texas and I have 2 of the ryobi inverters. It worked beautifully. I would love for them to make a personal heater for this battery.
We have used the ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great!

Very interesting video and all the time I was thinking that Dewalt would carry it weight throughout the entire test. So glad I watch your videos as they are always so instructive and informative.
I got the ryobi one as a gift when they first came out and it stopped working on me a couple of months later. I used it to charge our cell phones on road trips and here at home. I expected it to last a little bit longer than it did. Milwaukee and dewalt did not have a product at the time so just went with out and just been using the traditional cord charger. The Milwaukee and dewalt ones look like a great option. I may consider down the road. Thank you for posting.
Jeff, Thanks for your review! I was SOLD on the Milwaukee 175 Watt Inverter so I went to my local HD and used one of my 10%off Lowe’s coupon and got it for $89.10!! (reg $99)! I have lots of Makita 18V batteries and recently got the “Makita battery adapter to Milwaukee Tool”, and using the 175W M18 Inverter connected onto my Makita 18V battery, with the adapter, it worked!! Those adapters are only about $19-23 on eBay, and I now have multiple adapters on the 3 battery platforms that I am heavily-vested in! Thanks so much, brother!!
I’m ashamed to b a dewalt fan boy knowing that they don’t even have a battery operated inverter. Freaking ridiculous!!! Good video brother, thank u for ur time. U r appreciated!!
Those three inverters have very different power capabilities. The Milwaukee at 175w. The Ryobi at 150W and the DeWalt at 100W (140W peak). So it's not surprising that the small 100W DeWalt couldn't power the larger loads like the Milwaukee packout light rated at 384W (but could probably run on much less). The DeWalt is designed to be used in a vehicle where you don't want it to be drawing a large amount of current (over 120W or so) or it will start blowing the fuse on the 12V outlet. If you want to power larger loads you could try the larger DeWalt DCB1800B which has 1800W of power and runs on the 20V or FLEXVOLT batteries. I really like the Milwaukee inverter as it has USB-C PD at 45W.
Thanks for clearing that up bc I too was confused. Either DeWalt comes out with one like Milwaukee or thinking I could use a battery adapter from DeWalt to Milwaukee. What are your thoughts on that as you seem to know what you are talking about, at least you know a heck more then me. I have like 30 DeWalt batteries so need to keep it in this line. So Dewalt battery adapter with adapter on that Milwaukee unit. Yay or nay?
@@zjedinite A lot depends on exactly what you want to power with it. If you're going to be using it mostly for powering USB devices from DeWalt batteries then something like the DeWalt DCB094K USB charging kit could be a good choice. It is a bit pricey for what it is but if you have a lot of DeWalt batteries it might be a good choice. It can output 100W on USB C or 12W on a USB A port. So you could power a wide range of devices from older phones to some newer laptops. If you want to mainly use the 120V outlet then it really depends on what you want to run. DeWalt does have the DCB1800B that can handle 1800 W of power. The small DeWalt unit that Jeff showed in the video only runs off of a car 12V outlet and can only handle 100 W continuous power. The Milwaukee top-off does 175 W but that is still not that much and you'd have the problem of getting it to work with theDeWalt batteries. You could probably run the Milwaukee top-off from a DeWalt battery but there are some things you might want to be careful of. For example each tool/battery manufacturer has a system to make sure that the battery doesn't get run down past a level where it would be damaged and not able to be recharged. I believe that for Milwaukee that this is handled by the tool. So most likely the top-off would shut itself off before it drained the DeWalt battery past the point where the battery was damaged. However you'd likely want to test that on a DeWalt battery you didn't care too much about before taking the chance of ruining a good battery. I just noticed that others have used a DeWalt to Milwaukee adapter with the Milwaukee inverter so it should work. Another general point to keep in mind is that most of these small battery powered inverters for 120 V will output a modified sine wave. So it's not the same as a pure sine wave like you would get from a home outlet. You can run a lot of things on a modified sine wave but some sorts of power supplies can be damaged by it. So for the question of whether or not to run the Milwaukee top-off from a DeWalt battery I'd say it depends on exactly what you want to power with it.
@@wiredkat thanks for your detailed reply. After taking your info into consideration and watching other videos explaining how this unit is more of a “Modified Sine Wave” whatever that means lol I’ve decided to do it right and just spend the money. So for emergency home use if power outage I’m gonna pick up the DCB1800B And for phone and simple stuff gonna pick up DCB090. The newer model has that c port but I’m not really looking for speed charging. There are a lot of aftermarket companies offerings convertible to be used with DeWALT batteries but since this is not my field of expertise I’m thinking on staying with brand name. The reason I was so interested on this Milwaukee unit is due to a video I saw on a reputable tool reviews channel. “Belts And Boxes a single Milwaukee M18 battery powered our entire studio” I was like “WTF!? I need to own that” now I know, curious on your thoughts of that video. Maybe you could shed much needed guidance on that channel so people like me don’t just go out and buy one based on what I now think it’s a ridiculous review by Belts and Boxes. Hey thanks again, for steering me on the right direction with your info! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
If you want to use a TV as a test load, you need a static image, one that does not move, in order to have a relatively constant current draw. A DVR can be paused to do that.
What a joke. I said something bad about Dewalt and they blocked me from the chat. I've been around this channel a long time and never had any issue. So much for honest discussions!!
Yeah everyone was doing just fine in the live chat. They are probably abusing their moderator power again. Only Chaka is allowed to talk negative about a product.
@jeffostroff milwaukee is the only one that doesn't split power when multiple ports are being used, other two split the amp output such as the ryobi 2.4 usb output reduces to 1.4 each when both are simultaneously used
Jeff, my son Julian is a HUGE fan. Julian is Autistic and his obsession is all things home improvement. His birthday is Thursday and to celebrate we will be tailgating (just our fam) in the Lowe’s parking lot. He’s a great fan of your videos and tells everyone “I want to be like Jeff”. He’s turned our whole family on to his friend Jeff. I was wondering if you would be willing to make him a little happy Birthday video or FaceTime w him for just a minute. We would be glad to pay or make a donation to your favorite charity as a thank you. I know this would make him feel like a rock star on his birthday. Thank you for your consideration. Sarah
The power inverter's are a nice tool to have but nowadays so many things (like that fan) are sold as battery operated pieces of equipment. Still nice to have these investors for things like wireless routers while the electrician upgrades the electrical service.
We have this same Dewalt inverters in all of my service tech vans. I would never expect it to power a tv or even one of our Makita battery chargers. It’s mostly for charging phones and laptops. Considering the cost difference between the other two I wouldn’t expect anything more than that. Another question is why would you charge a battery with a battery to begin with? I paid around 25 for the first dewalt and I guess the price went up afterwards. I think the Dewalt is a little overpriced at 40 dollars though. For uniformity sake we keep all the vans with the same equipment. We’ve had no issues charging phones so I might would exchange that one. Hope all is well Jeff and thanks for another fun video
Maybe a Ryobi tool is going to be used, but low battery there and no in site power, but you have that Milwaukee inverter and a charged battery for it. A silly and contrived example, but that is the sort of situation that might occur in an electric blackout or brownout.
I also had the exact same experience with the Dewalt and found it to be a thermal issue I hung it directly infront of my a/c vent and had no issues charging an 18 volt 4ah ryobi battery to full in an hour using my combo 40v/18v charger
Not sure if someone else has said in the comments yet, but DeWalt does make an inverter. But it's in a completely separate class. It's called the DeWalt power station. If you plug it into a wall, it can charge up to four batteries at once. Alternatively, you can use for batteries and turn it on as a power inverter and it's capable of up to 1800 wattd of continuous output. But as you can tell by that mention of 1800 watts and the $500 price point but it's in a completely separate class from the Ryobi in the Milwaukee listed here.
Yes we've seen the power station it's far above this type of mobile power inverter that just simply runs off of 1 battery that's why I did not review it in this video
I really think the Dewalt is a consumer item, for people to use in their car to power a laptop, charge phones and tablets. Interesting that it would not power your phone. And since there is no battery for the Dewalt, it really isn’t in the same class as the other two since they are battery inverters. Can use them without a 12v connection to run.
I have Ryobi tools and batteries and they work great but Dewalt products are awesome. I got the Dewalt car battery charger today for about $30 and the switch on it is a heavy duty rubberized slide switch compared to the 40v Ryobi inverter i also got today where the switches are plastic and seem flimsy.
If you read the sticker that was right on the power button on the Ryobi it clearly says when it's flashing green it is being overloaded. Steady green is normal and red is obvious.
There was no sticker on the power button. Also, the instructions state this: "If the power button LED blinks red then turns off, the power source may be overloaded. Disconnect your device, make sure your battery pack is sufficiently charged to power your device, then press the button to turn the power source back on. Reconnect your device and try again. If the fault condition immediately reoccurs, the item being powered exceeds the capacity of the power source."
Thanks for the good review for the dewalt, Yeah, me as well totally disappointed at dewalt inverter, just bought it last week and I try to use it to my patrol car, work as a security. I needed that for my laptop battery charge but when I tried to use it, it only flash red and blue, dunno what does mean, at first it charge a bit but when I’m using my laptop for my report the dewalt inverter doesn’t doin anything at all. But it charged to my iPhone 14 And doing well but not on my laptop So I’m planning to return back to home depot. Thanks again
OLED tv’s are essentially millions of tiny LED’s. That’s a major simplification and not at all what’s actually happening, but in terms of power usage, think of it that way. For a 4K OLED tv, that’s 8.29 MILLION led’s, or cells. Each cell will draw more power the brighter it gets. So an all white screen (similar to what you might see on a welcome screen or an app) is drawing substantially more power than a 2.39:1 ratio dark movie with thick black (unpowered) bars at the top and bottom. It would be interesting to run this test on an LED tv.
Didn't you see our livestream Friday morning, and the community post that night? I bought that mower. I'm just waiting for my grass to grow up high to test it against my Honda
17:53 - hoping you will take this a step further - because inverters tend to screw with Mouse performance! Did you know that? Some do, some don't. Would like to know which inverters are reliable.
Dewalt isn't consistent in the quality of all their product offerings. I make sure I watch lots of YT reviews and other written reviews before buying. Ryobi seem to be better in that regard, (competitive performance but at a low price) though again I choose carefully. Thanks for the video!
I Have A Ryobi Power Inverter & I've Pluged Mostly My Tablet Smartphone & Onetime A Set Of Christmas Lights. But I Never Tried Pluging My Ryobi Charger Into It. As Far As Dewalt Goed I Never Thought They Made Very Good Stuff. Of All The Ryobi Stuff I've Got I Havent Had A Bit Of Trouble With Any Of It. I Think Ryobi & Millwaukee Makes Nice Stuff. I Have A Couple Of Millwaukee Holesaws & A Recip Saw Blade I Havent Third Yet But If I Ever Need To Use It It'll Come In Handy.
For me the Milwaukee inverter is superior......because I have Milwaukee batteries....lol. This actually served me quite well during Houston's recent Snovid 2021 event.
That's awesome! I was using my Milwaukee inverter yesterday to charge my Worx electronic cardboard slicing tool, just left it plugged in and left in the car all day
Hey jeff...bet here is a question you might not get much. .will the ryobi inverter have enough power to start my cub Cadet snow blower.woth electric start
@@jeffostroff i was wonder if it had enough power...I have gone threw owners manual...I want to go get and hope inverter would put out enough power...hoping to run power to shed this yr
Anything that makes heat uses too much watts. A small space heater the size of your phone probably uses 300-400 watts alone. Most room space heaters are average 1500watts.
I got the Ryobi 40v inverter today. I was a little concerned about it heating up and initially I was wondering if the cooling fan was going to activate, but eventually it did
That TV was finicky. Most of these units likely put out what we call a dirty sine wave, not a perfect curve, but easier to generate square waves and try to round them off.
I wanted to get your opinion Jeff should I go with the $99 Milwaukee top off tool only or the ryobi $99 power inverter with the 2 4.0 batteries?currently I have the same amount of batteries on both platforms
For now I would absolutely get the Ryobi 1 because you can't beat that deal. And if you decide later on you need to grow in your needs you can investigate whether the Milwaukee is for you. it's really a matter of which features do you like out of both of them they both scored pretty well on our tests. for example the Milwaukee has that rafter hook some people don't need that.
Dewalt that I have works good but the cigarette lighter plug often puts the inverter in a fault mode. The center plug is to stiff. Replace plug and try again.
I'm just going to leave mine in my car and if an emergency I have to charge something that needs 120 volts I will use it but I just know that it's not going to charge my phone
My experience with inverters that plug into cigarette lighters is that the vehicle needs to be running or it won’t work. I tried the Dewalt one in the past and found it useless.
As long as you don't exceed and amp of current draw it should be able to handle them so that would mean if you're operating them at low speed but I would think once you start getting up there in speed in your tool stretch to increase the current requirements then it will trip the unit into turning off
can you test out the square wave theory by plugging in a true sine wave computer battery backup into the inverters then the TV into the battery backup? that way the battery backup would clean up the voltage then do the tests over again. run times would obviously increase as well with the battery backup but i wonder if the inverters can keep the battery backup running .... ? will it supply enough power to keep the battery backup from running on its own without kicking in the battery backup. might be a great way to use the inverters in power blackouts????
Thanks, I use the Lavalier GO - White mic: amzn.to/3c7NObI I have a black one and a white one. I use the Rode Wireless Go - Compact Wireless Microphone System, Transmitter and Receiver amzn.to/2PKVh9b to transmit the mic out put wirelessly to my camera.
@@jeffostroff I remember when vcg had gotten it on clearance for $200 with the batteries and i ended up finding one at my store for $200 several years ago when they were on clearance
Cool to see the difference device used is any of device a pure sin wave or a modified sign wave a modified sign wave can destroy electronics on 120 volt plugs
I apologize!!! It's just that as an integrator I look for more than price and picture quality. Picture quality is ALWAYS of utmost importance but I NEED a controllable tv. For 99% of people that tv would be perfect!!! I'm just looking at things differently and I should have parlayed that, again I apologize:)
Is there anything out there that I could use to power internal lights to the back of my van from dewalt. All these led lights are 12v I would assume, so can I power them with 18v batteries. Possibly some connection from an old power tool to the batter and connect the 2 wires to it. Or is there a ni error way to run lights in the van so that I am not using my van battery. How do you fit an inverter to the van so that it charges batteries on the go and heading home from the job then batteries good to go next day etc. But running the lights off a seperate battery is what I want to do. Thanks.
Dewalt has a larger inverter for the vehicle, but it is very expensive. You could use the Milwaukee or Ryobi battery powered inverters here in this video, and plug in a n electrical cord that you wire up to a 12 volts ac to dc power supply, then you have your 12 volts.
But which of these gadgets unnecessarily scream a bloodcurdling, deal·breaking beep when it's unhappy? And which are totally useless when the engine is shut off?
Yes that is possible I have thought about that, but also remember that inverter is a 12 V invertor, whereas the Milwaukee in the Rio be invaders are both 18 V
@@jorymills652 I check the output of the dewalt it states 140W. You may have something. Because the Ryobi is a 150W inverter and the Milwaukee is a 175W inverter. The question is. The dewalt really a 140 peak limit. While the other 2 have a higher tolerance to peak load?
@@jeffostroff It seems that with the Dewalt unit that with only 140 watts to work with and coming from a 12 volt outlet that probably has some limitations and no third wire (earth ground) it just gets itself into trouble easily.
I felt like the Dewalt shouldn’t have been included since ryobi and Milwaukee operate solely on battery platform Does ridgid make anything or black and decker or any other tool brand I know masterforce makes a battery inverter
@@jeffostroff big sad I know masterforce (menards) has one as for the others I think it’s black and decker or worx that has a built in usb to the batteries
This is really difficult as I own two of the three Milwaukee and Ryobi brand will only let you invert power from their battery DeWalt gives you a better option going into a cigarette lighter this can be pulled from many other sources the bad part is none of them are equipped with alligator clips they seem to want to keep this inverter business in house the first one who comes out with alligator clips wins I'm not a gambler but I'm sure to bet on this.
I feel like the dewalt doesn’t really have a fair comparison considering the ryobi and the Milwaukee are battery powered and the dewalt isn’t. Not a very solid comparison between the 3
You did not state the max power output on each unit. The dewalt is clearly under powered and should not compared with the other 2. What I would like to have seen is pushing the max output of each inverter. I am also curious about the the temperature of each unit during high demand.
I have the dewalt one and I don't understand literally everytime I plug it into my car (without even plugging anything into the device itself) it blows a bunch of fuses in my car... 😟
The dewalt one sucks balls. Just bought it and charged one small m-18 battery then it cut out and stopped working. I checked the fuse and it was still good.
I personally have the de Walt inverter and I bought it in 2017-2018 and it is absolutely the worst inverter ever!!! it does not work do not buy it !! I have tried all the rest and they are great 👍
Ryobi has an 300 watt inverter for their 40 volt battery. Amazon has a Dewalt 20v battery to M18 Milwaukee tool adapter for ~$28. Then you could run that Milwaukee inverter off your DeWalt 20v batteries or be able to use on any M18 tool. I don't think it will handle a Flexvolt 20v60v battery but maybe the 6amp flexvolt could work. www.amazon.com/dp/B08C2PS5VK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_GNTXPX1V0DSXN2JE660Q
@@jeffostroff there's a pwba in there to regulate voltage or something. Cost is high,but any low production item will cost more. The competitors are higher priced. $28 to use batteries you already have is a lot less money than buying M18 batteries. It means I can buy milwaukee bare tools to add to my collection. That $100.00 170watt M18 power inverter is high priced compared to other inverters not fitted to M18 batteries. The 800 watt inverter that runs my Traeger Scout pellet grill is $50. I'm wondering if I can run it on 18 volt Dewalt batteries using a step down zener diodes to make it work at 12 volts.

@@ryanrosenstiel6648 it’s actually 650 bucks and it runs on gas.
@@borys444 they have one that runs on four batteries
Those three inverters have very different power capabilities. The Milwaukee at 175w. The Ryobi at 150W and the DeWalt at 100W (140W peak). So it's not surprising that the small 100W DeWalt couldn't power the larger loads like the Milwaukee packout light rated at 384W (but could probably run on much less). The DeWalt is designed to be used in a vehicle where you don't want it to be drawing a large amount of current (over 120W or so) or it will start blowing the fuse on the 12V outlet. If you want to power larger loads you could try the larger DeWalt DCB1800B which has 1800W of power and runs on the 20V or FLEXVOLT batteries. I really like the Milwaukee inverter as it has USB-C PD at 45W.

If you're going to be using it mostly for powering USB devices from DeWalt batteries then something like the DeWalt DCB094K USB charging kit could be a good choice. It is a bit pricey for what it is but if you have a lot of DeWalt batteries it might be a good choice. It can output 100W on USB C or 12W on a USB A port. So you could power a wide range of devices from older phones to some newer laptops.
If you want to mainly use the 120V outlet then it really depends on what you want to run. DeWalt does have the DCB1800B that can handle 1800 W of power. The small DeWalt unit that Jeff showed in the video only runs off of a car 12V outlet and can only handle 100 W continuous power. The Milwaukee top-off does 175 W but that is still not that much and you'd have the problem of getting it to work with theDeWalt batteries.
You could probably run the Milwaukee top-off from a DeWalt battery but there are some things you might want to be careful of. For example each tool/battery manufacturer has a system to make sure that the battery doesn't get run down past a level where it would be damaged and not able to be recharged. I believe that for Milwaukee that this is handled by the tool. So most likely the top-off would shut itself off before it drained the DeWalt battery past the point where the battery was damaged. However you'd likely want to test that on a DeWalt battery you didn't care too much about before taking the chance of ruining a good battery. I just noticed that others have used a DeWalt to Milwaukee adapter with the Milwaukee inverter so it should work.
Another general point to keep in mind is that most of these small battery powered inverters for 120 V will output a modified sine wave. So it's not the same as a pure sine wave like you would get from a home outlet. You can run a lot of things on a modified sine wave but some sorts of power supplies can be damaged by it.
So for the question of whether or not to run the Milwaukee top-off from a DeWalt battery I'd say it depends on exactly what you want to power with it.
@@wiredkat thanks for your detailed reply. After taking your info into consideration and watching other videos explaining how this unit is more of a “Modified Sine Wave” whatever that means lol I’ve decided to do it right and just spend the money.
So for emergency home use if power outage I’m gonna pick up the DCB1800B
And for phone and simple stuff gonna pick up DCB090. The newer model has that c port but I’m not really looking for speed charging.
There are a lot of aftermarket companies offerings convertible to be used with DeWALT batteries but since this is not my field of expertise I’m thinking on staying with brand name.
The reason I was so interested on this Milwaukee unit is due to a video I saw on a reputable tool reviews channel.
“Belts And Boxes a single Milwaukee M18 battery powered our entire studio”
I was like “WTF!? I need to own that” now I know, curious on your thoughts of that video. Maybe you could shed much needed guidance on that channel so people like me don’t just go out and buy one based on what I now think it’s a ridiculous review by Belts and Boxes.
Hey thanks again, for steering me on the right direction with your info!
🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
@@zjedinite Keep in mind that the DeWalt DCB1800B is still a modified sine wave inverter so you'll have to be careful what you power with it.
TV probably needs true sine wave and those inverters do square wave most likely and why the tv is cutting off. just a guess
Yes, more like dirty square waves, almost like saw tooth
check the back of the tv power output. If it exceeds the max limit of the Ryobi and Milwaukee inverter then it's the circuit protection kicking in
And floating neutral. So the neutral is not neutral, but -85 volts... That could also have tripped a safety.
If you want to use a TV as a test load, you need a static image, one that does not move, in order to have a relatively constant current draw. A DVR can be paused to do that.
Yes, I might try that with another smaller TV
I got the ridgid RD97100 and it's pretty good I should say for my needs. 100w. But good to see how the others compare.
I would have liked to have gotten one of those to test but I know the video was going to drag on too long
What a joke. I said something bad about Dewalt and they blocked me from the chat. I've been around this channel a long time and never had any issue. So much for honest discussions!!
Yeah they get real sensitive. You didn't say anything wrong.
Yeah everyone was doing just fine in the live chat. They are probably abusing their moderator power again. Only Chaka is allowed to talk negative about a product.
@@bigal1110 Yeah they play big time favorites.
@@bigal1110 Chaka is exempt to all judgement!
Who u talking about vcg?
@jeffostroff milwaukee is the only one that doesn't split power when multiple ports are being used, other two split the amp output such as the ryobi 2.4 usb output reduces to 1.4 each when both are simultaneously used
Yes that can make the difference between rapid charge in slow charge on yourself and if you're trying to charge 2 of them
Jeff, my son Julian is a HUGE fan. Julian is Autistic and his obsession is all things home improvement. His birthday is Thursday and to celebrate we will be tailgating (just our fam) in the Lowe’s parking lot. He’s a great fan of your videos and tells everyone “I want to be like Jeff”. He’s turned our whole family on to his friend Jeff. I was wondering if you would be willing to make him a little happy Birthday video or FaceTime w him for just a minute. We would be glad to pay or make a donation to your favorite charity as a thank you. I know this would make him feel like a rock star on his birthday. Thank you for your consideration. Sarah
I hope Jeff responds .. I know its been a while .. he probably didn't see your message .. you might have better luck with an email ?
Very cool. I have the Ryobi one. I wish it had USB type C, but it’s older than the Milwaukee, so maybe if they make a gen 2.
You could just use the type a to type C cable that would solve your problem instantly
The new model has 2 usb and 1 type C port that is rated for 30 watts.
The power inverter's are a nice tool to have but nowadays so many things (like that fan) are sold as battery operated pieces of equipment. Still nice to have these investors for things like wireless routers while the electrician upgrades the electrical service.
We have this same Dewalt inverters in all of my service tech vans. I would never expect it to power a tv or even one of our Makita battery chargers. It’s mostly for charging phones and laptops. Considering the cost difference between the other two I wouldn’t expect anything more than that. Another question is why would you charge a battery with a battery to begin with? I paid around 25 for the first dewalt and I guess the price went up afterwards. I think the Dewalt is a little overpriced at 40 dollars though. For uniformity sake we keep all the vans with the same equipment. We’ve had no issues charging phones so I might would exchange that one. Hope all is well Jeff and thanks for another fun video
I charge a battery with a battery to begin with in order to test it to see if it is possible. That's what testing and engineering is all about
Maybe a Ryobi tool is going to be used, but low battery there and no in site power, but you have that Milwaukee inverter and a charged battery for it.
A silly and contrived example, but that is the sort of situation that might occur in an electric blackout or brownout.
I’m looking for something like this to charge my flashlight after use for in my vehicle
@@jeffostroff and posible happens that you gonna use m12 tools and use the m18 to keep charge in remote places
Awesome videos!! Thanks for the testing in all 3 inverter.👍😷
No problem 👍
Very cool video. I am a Dewalt guy so I use my Dewalt to Milwaukee adapter on the Milwaukee inverter. It works awesome.
Very cool!
I also had the exact same experience with the Dewalt and found it to be a thermal issue
I hung it directly infront of my a/c vent and had no issues charging an 18 volt 4ah ryobi battery to full in an hour using my combo 40v/18v charger
I doubt Dewalt even makes this item
Jeff hope you are well , this has been one of your best information videos awesome, I will see if the u.kmversions perform the same, take care.
I hope so too!
Not sure if someone else has said in the comments yet, but DeWalt does make an inverter. But it's in a completely separate class. It's called the DeWalt power station. If you plug it into a wall, it can charge up to four batteries at once. Alternatively, you can use for batteries and turn it on as a power inverter and it's capable of up to 1800 wattd of continuous output. But as you can tell by that mention of 1800 watts and the $500 price point but it's in a completely separate class from the Ryobi in the Milwaukee listed here.
Yes we've seen the power station it's far above this type of mobile power inverter that just simply runs off of 1 battery that's why I did not review it in this video
@@jeffostroff I custom built my own 500w and 1500w for my Milwaukee batteries. 500w one uses 1 or two batteries in parallel, 1500w one uses 3 or 6
I really think the Dewalt is a consumer item, for people to use in their car to power a laptop, charge phones and tablets. Interesting that it would not power your phone. And since there is no battery for the Dewalt, it really isn’t in the same class as the other two since they are battery inverters. Can use them without a 12v connection to run.
I wish dewalt has a regular 20v battery inverter, nothing yet, just a USV charger that is battery based.
@@jeffostroff Even Hart has one.
I need(more want) that Milwaukee! Thank you for all the testing.
You are welcome!
I have Ryobi tools and batteries and they work great but Dewalt products are awesome. I got the Dewalt car battery charger today for about $30 and the switch on it is a heavy duty rubberized slide switch compared to the 40v Ryobi inverter i also got today where the switches are plastic and seem flimsy.
Thanks for sharing
Ryobi has a 1800 watt pure sine wave inverter for their 40volt batteries. Can use up to four batteries.
Yes, plug in right?
If you read the sticker that was right on the power button on the Ryobi it clearly says when it's flashing green it is being overloaded. Steady green is normal and red is obvious.
There was no sticker on the power button. Also, the instructions state this: "If the power button LED blinks red then turns off, the power
source may be overloaded. Disconnect your device, make
sure your battery pack is sufficiently charged to power your
device, then press the button to turn the power source
back on. Reconnect your device and try again. If the fault
condition immediately reoccurs, the item being powered
exceeds the capacity of the power source."
Thanks for the good review for the dewalt,
Yeah, me as well totally disappointed at dewalt inverter, just bought it last week and I try to use it to my patrol car, work as a security.
I needed that for my laptop battery charge but when I tried to use it, it only flash red and blue, dunno what does mean, at first it charge a bit but when I’m using my laptop for my report the dewalt inverter doesn’t doin anything at all.
But it charged to my iPhone 14
And doing well but not on my laptop
So I’m planning to return back to home depot.
Thanks again
I’d put my money on the EGO 400 watt pure sine wave inverter. This assumes you have the batteries to support it.
OLED tv’s are essentially millions of tiny LED’s. That’s a major simplification and not at all what’s actually happening, but in terms of power usage, think of it that way. For a 4K OLED tv, that’s 8.29 MILLION led’s, or cells. Each cell will draw more power the brighter it gets. So an all white screen (similar to what you might see on a welcome screen or an app) is drawing substantially more power than a 2.39:1 ratio dark movie with thick black (unpowered) bars at the top and bottom.
It would be interesting to run this test on an LED tv.
Yes I want to do additional testing to see how it does on a smaller TV that I have like a 14"
The Thing I Like With Ryobi Is That You Can
Use A 9 ah Battery With IIt
Milwaukee & Dewalt You Can't.
That's Why Ryobi Wins Hands Down.
You definitely can use a 9ah battery with the Milwaukee. That's what is on mine right now.
You can use a 12 ah on the Milwaukee inverter
I own the dewalt one and I have the same problem it won’t turn my fast charger on but it does my regular 12-20 v
It is so mind boggling I would like to try to figure out what it is that's wrong with their device
Why don't you go and get the new DCMWSP244u2 self propel 20 volt lawn mower and do a full review ? Thanks Bruce.
Didn't you see our livestream Friday morning, and the community post that night? I bought that mower. I'm just waiting for my grass to grow up high to test it against my Honda
17:53 - hoping you will take this a step further - because inverters tend to screw with Mouse performance! Did you know that? Some do, some don't. Would like to know which inverters are reliable.
I have not used corded mice with my laptop, it is touch screen and good touch pad. Maybe I'll try that too!
Dewalt isn't consistent in the quality of all their product offerings. I make sure I watch lots of YT reviews and other written reviews before buying. Ryobi seem to be better in that regard, (competitive performance but at a low price) though again I choose carefully.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching Allen!

To Use It It'll Come In Handy.
Dewalt behind the game when it comes to inverters :( Waiting on a battery 20v inverter from Dewalt lol
Yes, I am hoping their 20 v battery version would be a better performing inverter than a 12 volt tool
ridgid also has a inverter. Wish you guys can include them on your next test 😊
would like to see it, have not seen it yet
For me the Milwaukee inverter is superior......because I have Milwaukee batteries....lol. This actually served me quite well during Houston's recent Snovid 2021 event.
That's awesome! I was using my Milwaukee inverter yesterday to charge my Worx electronic cardboard slicing tool, just left it plugged in and left in the car all day
Hey jeff...bet here is a question you might not get much. .will the ryobi inverter have enough power to start my cub Cadet snow blower.woth electric start
As long as the starter draws less than 1amp I think you would be safe
@@jeffostroff i was wonder if it had enough power...I have gone threw owners manual...I want to go get and hope inverter would put out enough power...hoping to run power to shed this yr
Should try a small cheap space heater. Good video 👍
Good idea! Yes, depends on the current draw. Anything over 1 amp is not likely to work
Anything that makes heat uses too much watts. A small space heater the size of your phone probably uses 300-400 watts alone. Most room space heaters are average 1500watts.
I got the Ryobi 40v inverter today. I was a little concerned about it heating up and initially I was wondering if the cooling fan was going to activate, but eventually it did
And for anyone wondering the 40v will not run a corded drill for more than a few seconds before the overload flashes red and the device shuts down
The drills are usually 15 amp rated, that's why it trips the overload
Dewalt makes a 1800 watt 3600 peak power station 👍🏽 runs on dewalt batteries
Yes one day I might get that.
Great review Jeff
Thanks glad you liked it Angelo
Another amazing review! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Not sure if being a modified sine wave inverter has anything to do with it. The TV may not like that.
That TV was finicky. Most of these units likely put out what we call a dirty sine wave, not a perfect curve, but easier to generate square waves and try to round them off.
@jeffostroff the Milwaukee completely outperforms ryobi if you get into the numbers, especially running multiple ports
Yes so far we have not put them through enough rigorous on the job testing to see which one will do the best
I wanted to get your opinion Jeff should I go with the $99 Milwaukee top off tool only or the ryobi $99 power inverter with the 2 4.0 batteries?currently I have the same amount of batteries on both platforms
For now I would absolutely get the Ryobi 1 because you can't beat that deal. And if you decide later on you need to grow in your needs you can investigate whether the Milwaukee is for you. it's really a matter of which features do you like out of both of them they both scored pretty well on our tests. for example the Milwaukee has that rafter hook some people don't need that.
Ya es algo tarde, pero que pasa si conectas el cargador dewalt al inversor Milwaukee, lo soporta?
Dewalt that I have works good but the cigarette lighter plug often puts the inverter in a fault mode. The center plug is to stiff. Replace plug and try again.
I'm just going to leave mine in my car and if an emergency I have to charge something that needs 120 volts I will use it but I just know that it's not going to charge my phone
Just left Lowe's. Can we expect a miter sale??
There was nothing, I am hoping by Father's Day we see something!
My experience with inverters that plug into cigarette lighters is that the vehicle needs to be running or it won’t work. I tried the Dewalt one in the past and found it useless.
They likely farmed the whole thing out to some OEM who doesn't have a clue
Can the inverter power the electric tools of their brands
As long as you don't exceed and amp of current draw it should be able to handle them so that would mean if you're operating them at low speed but I would think once you start getting up there in speed in your tool stretch to increase the current requirements then it will trip the unit into turning off
Your comparing two tool battery operated inverters to one that operates off a car battery???
That's all that dewalt has, but it is an inverted that is in the same output range
can you test out the square wave theory by plugging in a true sine wave computer battery backup into the inverters then the TV into the battery backup? that way the battery backup would clean up the voltage then do the tests over again. run times would obviously increase as well with the battery backup but i wonder if the inverters can keep the battery backup running .... ? will it supply enough power to keep the battery backup from running on its own without kicking in the battery backup. might be a great way to use the inverters in power blackouts????
I am not convinced that battery backups have perfect sinewaves either.
What kind of mic you’re using? Sounds great
Thanks, I use the Lavalier GO - White mic: amzn.to/3c7NObI I have a black one and a white one. I use the Rode Wireless Go - Compact Wireless Microphone System, Transmitter and Receiver amzn.to/2PKVh9b to transmit the mic out put wirelessly to my camera.
What about the DeWalt inverter four battery one
Have not acquired one of those yet
@@jeffostroff I remember when vcg had gotten it on clearance for $200 with the batteries and i ended up finding one at my store for $200 several years ago when they were on clearance
DeWalt battery operated inverter DCB1800B
Cool to see the difference device used is any of device a pure sin wave or a modified sign wave a modified sign wave can destroy electronics on 120 volt plugs
I doubt it would destroy electronics.
would be interesting to see if one of these or the ryobi 40v one would run a Graco TrueCoat 360 to turn a $150 sprayer into a $700 cordless sprayer
That would be nice
18v Ryobi didn't work with my graco. That was the first thing I tried.
I apologize!!! It's just that as an integrator I look for more than price and picture quality. Picture quality is ALWAYS of utmost importance but I NEED a controllable tv. For 99% of people that tv would be perfect!!! I'm just looking at things differently and I should have parlayed that, again I apologize:)
So which TV do you prefer?
Is there anything out there that I could use to power internal lights to the back of my van from dewalt. All these led lights are 12v I would assume, so can I power them with 18v batteries. Possibly some connection from an old power tool to the batter and connect the 2 wires to it. Or is there a ni error way to run lights in the van so that I am not using my van battery.
How do you fit an inverter to the van so that it charges batteries on the go and heading home from the job then batteries good to go next day etc. But running the lights off a seperate battery is what I want to do.
Thanks.
Dewalt has a larger inverter for the vehicle, but it is very expensive. You could use the Milwaukee or Ryobi battery powered inverters here in this video, and plug in a n electrical cord that you wire up to a 12 volts ac to dc power supply, then you have your 12 volts.
we have a really inverter work with dewalt 20V battery. would you like to test ?
Can the Milwaukee inverter handle infalting/deflating an air mattress that requires a 120v AC outlet?
Yes those are low power devices
Plug a chain saw or angle grinder and work all day with it .
Thats what i call a test.
Loool
You should not wiggle power cord and pull out by the cable as you will damage connection..pull it out by the plug only
Dewalt is the one I got for $25 at home depot
Wow, $39 now
Milwaukee top off I use everyday I use usb c to lightning for iPhone it charges it really fast
It's a great charger
But which of these gadgets unnecessarily scream a bloodcurdling, deal·breaking beep when it's unhappy?
And which are totally useless when the engine is shut off?
I like the Milwaukee and the Ryobi units best
@@jeffostroff Do these gadgets beep when they're unhappy?
Do they work when the engine is shut off?
(Yes, it will drain the battery.)
I bought a ravpower battery with inverter that could run my small tv.
road trip!
Is it possible you have a broken dewalt inverter?
Yes that is possible I have thought about that, but also remember that inverter is a 12 V invertor, whereas the Milwaukee in the Rio be invaders are both 18 V
@@jeffostroff Good call sir didn't even catch that.
@@jorymills652 I check the output of the dewalt it states 140W. You may have something. Because the Ryobi is a 150W inverter and the Milwaukee is a 175W inverter. The question is. The dewalt really a 140 peak limit. While the other 2 have a higher tolerance to peak load?
The DeWalt one is a 140w
Dewalt should their own batteries and not Duracell's
I’m trying to figure this out how to enter the giveaway and eventually get there
Links are in the description of tonight's live stream ua-cam.com/video/W0MCq1yR63A/v-deo.html
Ego also has a battery power supply
Will check that out some time!
Overload protection on the Dewalt is coming on. Ret/Blue = overload. The Dewalt is only 140 watts. You can't exceed that 140 watt max limit.
But even on low power devices it was coming on
@@jeffostroff It seems that with the Dewalt unit that with only 140 watts to work with and coming from a 12 volt outlet that probably has some limitations and no third wire (earth ground) it just gets itself into trouble easily.
If it can't make coffee, it's useless. We use the Jackery on the job or when camping, but this is an altogether different puppy. $$$
Yes, I should try it on the coffee maker
I felt like the Dewalt shouldn’t have been included since ryobi and Milwaukee operate solely on battery platform
Does ridgid make anything or black and decker or any other tool brand I know masterforce makes a battery inverter
Have not seen anything from Ridgid or Black & Decker
@@jeffostroff big sad I know masterforce (menards) has one as for the others I think it’s black and decker or worx that has a built in usb to the batteries
This is really difficult as I own two of the three Milwaukee and Ryobi brand will only let you invert power from their battery DeWalt gives you a better option going into a cigarette lighter this can be pulled from many other sources the bad part is none of them are equipped with alligator clips they seem to want to keep this inverter business in house the first one who comes out with alligator clips wins I'm not a gambler but I'm sure to bet on this.
Yes going into the cigarette lighter is better, but as I showed it was lame at charging most of my electronics devices
I feel like the dewalt doesn’t really have a fair comparison considering the ryobi and the Milwaukee are battery powered and the dewalt isn’t. Not a very solid comparison between the 3
It's the closest DeWalt has to the others, they don't have a battery operated inverter.
You did not state the max power output on each unit. The dewalt is clearly under powered and should not compared with the other 2. What I would like to have seen is pushing the max output of each inverter. I am also curious about the the temperature of each unit during high demand.

@@jeffostroff ty! :) really great videos you have. God bless :)
Ryobi has an 300 watt inverter for their 40 volt battery.
Amazon has a Dewalt 20v battery to M18 Milwaukee tool adapter for ~$28. Then you could run that Milwaukee inverter off your DeWalt 20v batteries or be able to use on any M18 tool. I don't think it will handle a Flexvolt 20v60v battery but maybe the 6amp flexvolt could work.
www.amazon.com/dp/B08C2PS5VK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_GNTXPX1V0DSXN2JE660Q
That's a lot of money for apiece of plastic. I should try one of those though
@@jeffostroff there's a pwba in there to regulate voltage or something. Cost is high,but any low production item will cost more. The competitors are higher priced. $28 to use batteries you already have is a lot less money than buying M18 batteries. It means I can buy milwaukee bare tools to add to my collection.
That $100.00 170watt M18 power inverter is high priced compared to other inverters not fitted to M18 batteries.
The 800 watt inverter that runs my Traeger Scout pellet grill is $50. I'm wondering if I can run it on 18 volt Dewalt batteries using a step down zener diodes to make it work at 12 volts.
I bought dewalt inverter and it didn't work to charge my batteries, I returned it to the store 🤬🤬
I would like to see a real inverter that runs off battery like the Milwaukee and Ryobi
