I was told by my small engine repair guy that ethanol is the worst thing for engines ever. He says not to use gas with ethanol in it, so ethanol free premium gas. End of season add Sta-bil fuel storage stabilizer and top off with fresh ethanol free gas, run to get the fuel mix in the unit and store. Since following his advice I have never had a fuel related issue in any of my machines again. Thanks for your videos, keep up the great work. I find them very helpful.
Connect it to refrigerator have it run full day if possible. Would be nice to see if it can handle month of no power simulation and we have to depend on this generator
Definitely not intended as a primary power source for grid down situations, especially since the solar power adapter is only a rumor as of now. Imo, the primary use for this is going to be tailgating and weekend trips to power radios, keep phones and cameras charged and maybe make breakfast while 'glamping' since the 2000w will allow things like electric cooktops and kettles to function (albeit for no more than a couple instances of each). Secondary use is going to be powering corded tools since if that was your primary use you could just invest the cash into cordless tools instead. There are many better options on the market for less money but this one should appeal to those already in or looking to get into the ego line of tools since you would be saving some money on batteries. For example, you can get a better unit not in the ego line that will already be solar capable (not including panels) with 12v and DC options for around 1100 (checkout maxoak bluetti). So you would essentially be paying around 600 for the four 5ah batteries and a charger, which isn't terrible really since they retail about 250 per battery and 80 for a basic charger.
Really enjoy the unboxing, your presentation is excellent. If you included a few months or weeks worth of testing, it would benefit the video a lot. Keep up the great videos!
Run a refrigerator and/or freezer. I bought the bare tool as I'm already on the EGO platform. Bought it for power outages. Last winter, we were without power for 6 days and had to toss all our food from the refrigerator.
I just saw this yesterday. A friend of mine is a DJ and wanted a non gas operated power source for when there isn’t power available. Looks like this thing would do the job without popping breakers with high powered speakers plugged in.
Definitely down to survive great video brotha keep rollin those cameras and doing what you do VCG Zombie Apocalypse survival videos might be your new edge for content
EGO should really advertise this power station as a 2000 continuous watt unit, it will only work over 2000 watts to up to 3000 watts for less than three seconds for a power demand surge which occurs when a motor starts up.
Power the shop there for a Friday TTR live. That would be pretty awesome! Power up the lights and cameras with it and run the TTR with the power station.
Hey @vcg construction Guys, I just saw a @tool boss video with you guys, so cool you guys at the same place. You guys make me go through my days so easy. It will be awesome to add Tool Boss on a TTR. Just saying.
I would like you to try the Kline battery powered generator & they also have the solar panels to buy separate and how that would compare to the Ego Thanks for your videos
Have you guys checked out Goal Zero's Solar Generator? They have a bunch of options for power available and panels you can plug into it. Their newer ones are lithium ion batteries are pretty sweet.
Just hook up a heater with run time and another with a window unit a/c with runtime. Those are very difficult to run and would be interested to see Thanks for the show
Awesome video Vince whoot a video I was requesting to see great unboxing and demonstration this station would be a beast with 4 of the new 10ah batteries there coming out with next year
I want to see the ego power station power The Milwaukee tower of power charging station full of dead batteries to charge. Also see if it can run a small window unit and for how long. Thanks.
I’m a DJ looking into buying this unit .. I will be hooking up a laptop , DJ controller , external mixer , wireless mic , and one evolve 20m speaker 1000 watts .. I don’t think you have this equipment but would like to know if this would be okay to handle the power in this unit
Hey Vince Looking at buying battery garden tools Line Trimmer,Lawn Mower, Blower Etc. A Platform Shoot out would be good EG. Stihl Ego Milwaukee Makita Would be good as no one has done anything on the latest equipment.
No solar charge option = no deal. EGO keeps SAYING they are coming out with one but I haven't seen it yet. That's why I haven't bought one of these. We were without power for two full weeks after a hurricane. I guess I could have used this generator to prop the door open to let some cool air in the house.
maybe do a sump pump simulator? rig a sump pump in a container with running water and see if the generator will keep it going for a night or so. nothing worse than a flooded house.
How long could it power a refrigerator? In a long power outage, food preservation would be my main concern because chances are I had a full stocked fridge when it went out, lol
@@VCGConstruction thanks vince... Can you test it using 3.0hp air compressor? Im base here in new zealand. My options here will be only milwaukee mx or ego generator.
1. Read the Instructions on how to operate and use 2. Charge the Batteries fully over night or days 3. Get the Quick charger 4. Then use and test then publish a Review of the device...
Propane Generator would be nice to have with this setup. This way you can turn off the Generator and the noise that it makes all the while running off of this 2000 watt beast. In a power outage you wont have sunlight. I wonder if it's true sine wave and not old square wave? Each battery runs about 390 watts hours so 2 of those would give you 800 watts for one hour and it's dead. 1600 watts load would be dead within 30 mins. 400 watt load you get two hours worth of power. It might keep your food in your house good for a day with 4 batteries. Once again Propane take would last how long? How much? I would just buy a Propane Generator and then pair it up with this. This is for light loads for at night and quite nights while power is out. I don't really see this going anywhere unless you have a work van and 500 watts of solar on top. You could be a painter and spray with this setup nicely with 600 watts of solar at least and keeping this bad boy charging. Only problem is solar kit should come with it for that same price. Anyone out in the field has a Truck and could install a 3000 watt inverter pure sinewave and just start their trucks and keep them idle and have full juice the whole day for much less mind you. Charging up those same batteries as well without needed to spend the extra grand. Trucks should come with a 150amp plug for the 12 volt side for sure. Then all we need to do is plug a box like this one in and keep those big ass batteries charging and have the truck start when the batteries get low and shut off after. I don't see the use of this unless it's just getting folks to buy a crap load of batteries. If you use that much power all day and need to keep those things charged you need a something that makes power not stores it. Fill up a cheap 2000 watt gas generator and you'll get at least 6-8 hours of use out of it for 4 bucks of gas. keep all the batteries charged up as well.
Having a Generator on site just to charge little drill batteries is dumb. Having this thing charged up and then keeping your music playing and drill batteries charging is smart but how much? Using this with a air compressor and working all day would be dead within a hour at best with two batteries. I guess one would have to spend 2000 more bucks and 8 of these batteries laying around to get jacked by the drug deal down the road. Just being real here no need to get your underwear in a bunch here. @ 52 volts X 7.5amps X 4 equals less then 1600 watts hours per day. I understand we have cordless saws now and high powered tools. Being without cords is the key here. Using this to keep other smaller drill batteries and saw batteries don't seem smart either. Taking juice in one 52 volt pack to put into another 18volt pack. Why not just buy more of those 18 volt packs then lol?

@@jayjayhooksch1 I spent 1500 bucks total on the panels and the inverter along with the battery. I think I'll get my use out of it camping. I can pull 2000 watts with my inverter using a electric burner but can only use one burner at a time which is fine for cooking breakfast in the mornings. When we leave to go biking and come back the Rav is in morning sun and by noon I have a full battery for things like fans or heated blankets at night.

I know huh, but part of the purpose of usb-c, as per the usb group, is to move towards one i/o for simplicity. Makes sense. But device makers that hold onto usb-a are the ones preventing that simplicity.
I was going to ask you Vince about how the new Milwaukee compared to this system. Glad to see you are doing a video on this

We use STA-BIL fuel stabilizer and ethanol treatment for our Honda snow blowers , Stihl chainsaws and backpack leaf blowers.
EGO should really advertise this power station as a 2000 continuous watt unit, it will only work over 2000 watts to up to 3000 watts for less than three seconds for a power demand surge which occurs when a motor starts up.
I am hoping to buy the ECO Snowblower, ECO Lawnmower and the ECO Power Station, all using 7.5 amp hour batteries. This looks like an awesome device. 👌
A solar panel kit would be awesome for the inverter generator
STA-BIL is added to stabilize gasoline.
Storage Fuel Stabilizer
I wish Milwaukee would make a M18 version of this since I dont require MX tools.
Power the shop there for a Friday TTR live. That would be pretty awesome! Power up the lights and cameras with it and run the TTR with the power station.
Hey @vcg construction Guys, I just saw a @tool boss video with you guys, so cool you guys at the same place. You guys make me go through my days so easy. It will be awesome to add Tool Boss on a TTR. Just saying.

It's a tight call between the ego and Milwaukee
Try it on a fridge or freezer. Being about to protect your food is pretty important.

I want to know how long would it run a portable AC unit
Awesome video Vince whoot a video I was requesting to see great unboxing and demonstration this station would be a beast with 4 of the new 10ah batteries there coming out with next year
love the videos VCG can see a TTR of the new DCS369B ATOMIC Recip saw vs the old DCS367B compact Recip saw.
I’m interested in how log to run a household refrigerator. Also some comparison with the Dewalt DCB1800
I've seen people run a window ac unit for 12 hours on a full charge
I want to see the ego power station power The Milwaukee tower of power charging station full of dead batteries to charge. Also see if it can run a small window unit and for how long. Thanks.
120v welder how long will it run it see if it will over heat and shut down
I would like to see a fridge powered to see if it would be good for the home

I wanna know if this can work with a vacuum and a electric pressure washer for detailing cars!
I wanna know if it can power a 2000 watt speaker and for how long. And dj equipment too of course
See how long it will run a real world construction scenario! Guys charging phones, charging tool batteries, trim/table saw, and of course tunes!
How long could it power a refrigerator? In a long power outage, food preservation would be my main concern because chances are I had a full stocked fridge when it went out, lol
Hey vince... Air compressor or welding machine pls... Also can you use that as a simultaneous charger for ego batteries? Cheers
It only chargers the batteries one at a time
@@VCGConstruction thanks vince... Can you test it using 3.0hp air compressor? Im base here in new zealand. My options here will be only milwaukee mx or ego generator.
I'm waiting for the how long will it last while using 2000 watts continuously. But as also mentioned... how long will a refrigerator last.
Wasn't ryobi coming out with a 1500 watt version of this very same thing with their 40v system? Have you heard anything about it?
Not a word
Vince power a household water pump. If it works im in.
yes1800 watt is a good draw how long would it last? If it lasts 24 hours I will get one.
1. Read the Instructions on how to operate and use 2. Charge the Batteries fully over night or days 3. Get the Quick charger 4. Then use and test then publish a Review of the device...
Solar capabilities??? Are they available yet?
how long will this product run with a constant 600 watts out 0f the possible 2000 actual test field test with time laspe video
how do the other ego tool handle normal hard work
I would like to get one but our Canadian Government says it is hazardous material cant figure that one out.ÉÉÉÉ
Test a window AC unit please.
I tapped homie
Hook up a freg. , heater...
Refrigerator please and thank you 👍
Man 4 of the 7.5 amp hour batteries would be pretty killer.
Power a space heater ~ please.

the shelves holding all the power tools are bending
max it out with anything that will draw watts lets see the limitations! cost battery - costs
Plug in an old school work light that should make it last like 5 minutes but hey those lights are pretty much heaters too
