The square wave frequency coming out of that unit was the issue with your power meter. Most electronics don’t care about the way the electrical wave form looks but some are very sensitive and will throw a fit when connected to anything other that a pure sine wave.
Thanks so much for this review. I didn't realize this even existed. Living in North Florida, something like this would be a major bonus. Aside from major storms, we're guaranteed a string of some pretty nasty thunderstorms in the summer. While the city power rarely goes out, here in the county I will be without power for a minimum of 12hrs at least 3-5 times. So if I could just plug in a lamp, a fan and charge my phone without having to leave my car running after a storm...I'd be str8! I'm on the Milwaukee train, so I luckily already have several batteries (including the big guy) and a couple of chargers. But for those who don't-especially those who generally have no use for power tools-the sticker shock may leave you questioning whether it's worth it. I resisted battery powered tools for years, but finally needed a good trimmer and had the choice between battery powered or gas powered. Now I'm all in. Simple fact is, for anyone who doesn't know, not only do those batteries run the tools wonderfully, they also hold a full charge just sitting on a shelf for a ridiculously long time! So if you find you need it, it'll likely be there. The cost may seem high, but any emergency kit should have at least one of these. And no...I have ZERO affiliation with the brand. I'm just really pleased with the quality I paid for, which is becoming a rare thing. 😁
I’m in NE FL too, just picked up two of these yesterday for an emergency - awesome idea from Milwaukee to utilize a ton of money of batteries that I already had and hadn’t considered using for pedestrian application. Huge savings over standalone battery systems. We hope we don’t have to use them with this storm but we’re glad we found these!
Some of these questions are ridiculous. The man just said it wouldn’t power anything that requires heat. Toaster, coffee machine etc. y’all steadily asking him the same questions. No, it’s intended use is for small items. Y’all want it to power a welder, 5 toasters and a blender an a/c unit etc!! No no no!! 🙄🙄🙄
I’ve run a small heat pad with it before, about 5 hrs with the the 8 amp. I would imagine it would run smaller electric blankets. That heated jackets are basically a heated blanket and they take the small 12 volt
When I first heard about this Top-Off unit I thought it was a stupid idea. I mean, why pay for this when you can get a battery backup like Jackery? But now that I'm accumulating MW power tools with more M18 batteries I realize that in an emergency the M18 Top Off could come handy to tap into power sitting idle in my MW batteries. Thanks for the review! Cheers!
@@rahmanburch3100 . I know its a bit late now for this but since my comment I bought some Jackery units for power back ups. Anything helps during emergencies. Stay safe!
A good start in the right direction... think I will pass for now? These devices and batteries are only going to get better and better, will be exciting to see what’s in store?!

@Kasen Kohen I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I was unable to find that info through a ton of digging. I am assuming that since they are not bragging about a pure sine wave, it must be modified. But it does say safe for laptops and such. That is an unknown to me.
I'm 99% certain this is a modified sinewave output inverter as the pure sine wave models require much more electronic components that would definitely not be able to fit in that tiny footprint they managed to create.
I've seen inverter generators that claim to be pure sine wave but they are in fact modified sine wave. I highly doubt that this is a pure sine wave unit.
I know nobody reads warning labels, but... the first words on the side of the unit are: “Warning: output non-sinusoidal”. Which tells me it is not even a modified sine wave, probably just a square wave. Still a nice product.
They should be making that NOW! What am I supposed to do with 175w? Make a larger inverter, 1000 to 2000 watt (I know, 2000w might be a bit much on 18v batteries, youd have to have a bunch of them to do it, 6+), able to take multiple batteries, 4+. 175 watts is pretty useless to me, I already have two of the battery adapters with USB ports, and that seems like about all this new one would be used for most of the time, except its 3 times larger. Doesnt DeWalt make a larger one like that, that even charges batteries when when plugged into AC power. Id love to see one that also had a jump starter capability for cars, plug multiple batteries in and it steps the 18v down to 12-13v so you can jump start a weak car battery. I once jump started my work truck battery with two M18 9.0 batteries, not really ideal, but it got me home. Something to do it properly would be pretty sweet. I know they are comming out with the MX Fuel crap, but thats way to expensive for the average guy, thats more like stuff large companies would be buying.
I was hoping dewalt would come out with something like this, well guess what I was in Lowe's looking to get the 20v craftsman dremel tool that has wired dremel tool that slides on a battery but when I looking at this I noticed this little inverter similar to to this it has a 150 watts so I got this and just plug in my corded dremel which is kinda cordless now, I tried on a box fan it lasted 4hours on low with 4amp hour battery, it's got a light which is bright and A type C and a port 2.4 amps for A and 3.0 amps for C
They have, it's called the Carry-On is $600 and takes 4 batteries...and is massively overpriced after you factor in 4 12.0 batteries. It's pure sine wave instead of this modified junk 175w. Not sure why this guy loves it so much...I think roll of the dice of whst he tried it with. I suppose if it works with all your stuff it woukd be great. Hook it up to an oscilloscope and the modified wave looked like garbage and ran everything way hotter than I felt comfortable using long term. Smoked a 80w scooter charger while camping. Check with a thermal camera before you leave anything expensive running off it. If it's cool, chances are you're ok.
So I've got a question for you. If you take a extension cord and add in a spliced tail. So that there are 2 male ends and one female and And then plug it into 2 Milwaukee top offs does Is that double your available electrical Ambridge. therefore using 2 Milwaukee topoffs to power bigger appliances such as a coffee maker
I wonder if this is a square wave (hopefully not!), modified sine wave (what i suspect) or a sine wave inverter... I wasn’t able to find anything online.
There will be efficiency losses so if you were to take a full 5.0 m18 and charge a dead 5.0 m18, you wouldn’t get a full charge on the battery you were trying to charge
My wife runs an electri throw blanket off the M18 and the Ryobi inverters I have, I actually like the ryobi more. It's got a built in light, no annoying fan and it's smaller. But both are great littler power supplies.
As far as the devices you ran with this mil top off, how would you compare the quality of power from this top off vs the dewalt power station for small less demanding devices? Would you say similar? Or the top off is better?
Yessir. I know the dewalt can handle more but I was more interested in the quality of power for running small devices. Iv heard people say not to plug in laptops, TVs, or anything with electronic boards with the dewalt, it’s only built to run corded tools when you don’t have a wall socket close by. However, dewalt indicates the power source will run these devices without actually listing what it can run. Wondered if you ran the Hz clean power test with your dewalt power source.
Yes, but you will need something that can do 1500 watts consistently and stick at 2500 plus. You will pay upwards of $1,000 for one of these. Is it worth it for a tiller? You could buy one helk of a gas tiller for that price.
Hey bro, I see you connected your tv to it and said it had no issues, but when i tried it on my 55" samsung led tv, the tv buzzed terribly, also any fan i hook it up to the fans buzz... if yours does not do this i think mine is defective?
a bunch of reviewers on the Milwaukee website said this thing shuts off after an hour, but ONE person said it was after an hour of being IDLE.. can you confirm this? I'm looking at getting it for running my router during power outages and if i need to press the button for the 120V outlet every hour, it defeats the purpose!!
IMHO, this is not safe to run a router. I woud be sure to have a pure sine wave product to run sensitive electronics like that. If there is no load, it will shut off in an hour. If you have a significant load, it will remain running. Since you capitalized IDLE, my answer is that it will shut off. Look for a Pure Sine wave device made for sensitive electronics, or better yet, a UPS so you wont even lose power to your router when the power does go off.
@@WorkshopAddict I powered my desktop PC and my router with my 8000W gas generator, so I'm not worried about clean power.. but I just wanted to know if it would shut off after an hour or so.. the router is rated for 12 VDC and 3.3A, so about 40 Watts - thank you!

It is only 150 to 175 watts. I would say no. I would also tell you this is not pure sine wave so it could be hard on electronic components inside the amp.
This is interesting... I wonder where, when and how the "Crossover" between 18V Shop batteries and 12V portable Solar Generators will take place. This is the beginning...
EGO has a similar device I bought a year and a half ago. Very good portable charger and and it will take my 7.5 Ah battery. EGO, also, has a newer one, wherein one could mount multiple batteries for even longer life. 3000W Both with a 120 outlet and all the rest. I just use my usual EGO 56v yard tool batteries whenever I want to use it. Oh, heck, I just searched and watched where y'all already looked at it. NVM
If you hear me talking in here and in the description, the EGO unit is the one that blew up all the crop in my RV with too high of voltage. That EGO Nexus was the downward spiral of EGO quality. It seemed that from there they worked to rush to be the first to market with many other items and really used the customer as R and D. I have not had luck with any of the new EGO stuff including this years lawn mower and 2 stage snow blower. We used to recommend EGO, not anymore.

Solar charging isn't as fast or useful in compact form. The technology isn't there yet because you need a lot of surface area and ideal conditions.

If you could recharge the m18 battery from solar panels with this that would awesome

IMHO, this is not safe to run a router. I woud be sure to have a pure sine wave product to run sensitive electronics like that. If there is no load, it will shut off in an hour. If you have a significant load, it will remain running. Since you capitalized IDLE, my answer is that it will shut off. Look for a Pure Sine wave device made for sensitive electronics, or better yet, a UPS so you wont even lose power to your router when the power does go off.
@@WorkshopAddict I powered my desktop PC and my router with my 8000W gas generator, so I'm not worried about clean power.. but I just wanted to know if it would shut off after an hour or so.. the router is rated for 12 VDC and 3.3A, so about 40 Watts - thank you!
@@vjmacintyre good question, I rent my router so I’d just get a replacement router for free if it gets screwed up. But I’m also curious if it would need reset every hour,,,
How many times can you charge a 5Ah battery off of one battery
500 to 2,000
You can expect the batteries to run for years. The Milwaukee's tend to hold a charge capability for a while
Will it power hairclippers ?
It should.
Can I run a heating lamp with this ?
Will it run a a corded drill, a circular saw, basically tool with a cord?
Most likely not for a corded drill and definitely not for a circular saw
How do you charge it so you can charge your battery?
Milwaukee Tool batteries have thier own charger. This device will not charge a battery
@@WorkshopAddict got it Well, I get to go shopping for again. Thank you 😁
Hope they make this with pure sine wave soon.
I wanna bring a blender to the beach slash boat? If it run a fan motor a blender shouldn't be a problem???
Ps. I have a lot of extra Milwaukee batteries and a lot of rum and pina coloda mix
It would have to be a small blender, but it might work. Not going to turn a vitamix!
@@WorkshopAddict i mean with all do respect man im not an electrician but I can drill 100 Sheilds into the slab with a hammer drill or cut rods with a bandsaw all work day both on one M18 battery
@@johhnyapplesseed9776 Right! But with a tool designed for it. This 18-volt DC battery need to create 120 volts. It can create the volts, but it not creating more than 1.25 amps.
@@johhnyapplesseed9776 My vitamix blender is 11.5 amps. That's 1400 is watts.
@@WorkshopAddict 😯☹ alright ya that sucks ya it would be nice to chill on the beach without a gas generator or a 500 dollar battery pack. Thanks for the info u earned my subscription. Merry Christmas
Milwaukee should come out a better version than Ryobi by using multiple 18V battery 🔋🔋🔋🔋 input power converter.
It's a no brainer that people have Milwaukee tools have plenty of Milwaukee batteries🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋🔋.
Come on!
Afterward you can drink coffee or light cooking 🍳 .
Is it in Australia?
Can you plug it in a vacuum pump
You can plug it in but chances are it will not run it.
Would this run a Brother Inkjet Printer (printer is rated at 17Watts) ?
Yes.
Can you run a rupes polisher with this?
No
This video is quite old but would this run an angle grinder?
No. Not a chance. Most angle grinders are 8 to 13 amps, making them 900 to 1500 watts round numbers.
What about a microwave ??
Unlikely as most of them are 1,000 to 3,000 watts.
Why does mine only read 90 volts thru the 120 port?
Because it is probably broke
Would it power a small guitar amp?
It is only 150 to 175 watts. I would say no. I would also tell you this is not pure sine wave so it could be hard on electronic components inside the amp.
@@WorkshopAddict thanks for your prompt reply. Great revue
This is interesting... I wonder where, when and how the "Crossover" between 18V Shop batteries and 12V portable Solar Generators will take place. This is the beginning...
Hii can i use for microwave in my car ??
No.
Can it power a shop vac?
No
Very nice review love it , not it's time for DeWalt to come out with a flexvolt one
Yes I agree
@@WorkshopAddict but pure sine wave output.
Why not avilable in a European version?
Will it power a microwave
No. Not even close.
It was awesome when I first got it, but after using it for Christmas lights it keeps shutting off.
Did you send it out for warranty repair?
Looks like it will be able to charge my work laptop. Im sold.
I will also try running an xbox for shits and giggles
What about a treager?
I have a camp chef ww24 and it might run it after start up, but it would never be able to start the fire.
No way to make this work on 230V?
EGO has a similar device I bought a year and a half ago.
Very good portable charger and and it will take my 7.5 Ah battery.
EGO, also, has a newer one, wherein one could mount multiple batteries for even longer life. 3000W
Both with a 120 outlet and all the rest.
I just use my usual EGO 56v yard tool batteries whenever I want to use it.
Oh, heck, I just searched and watched where y'all already looked at it. NVM
If you hear me talking in here and in the description, the EGO unit is the one that blew up all the crop in my RV with too high of voltage. That EGO Nexus was the downward spiral of EGO quality. It seemed that from there they worked to rush to be the first to market with many other items and really used the customer as R and D. I have not had luck with any of the new EGO stuff including this years lawn mower and 2 stage snow blower. We used to recommend EGO, not anymore.
@@WorkshopAddict Odd I have to disagree.
@@WorkshopAddict I have to say that my EGO stuff has all been bomb proof...including the snow blower.
