Yeah Al we needed this. I think I’ll have to start buying some Ryobi tools. They have great products that I don’t think Ego will even make. Like their outdoor propane heater for example.
The power input is dc. If the inverter is on there'd be no flicker in the output. It's not switching between the cord and battery, only charging the battery while outputting
Have you done a test on running a heater? I sometimes sleep in my truck. Wanted to find a way to run a heater all night. Probably a 300w heater. Thanks
Good review👍I do have a couple of thoughts.. When you tested the UPS function, you had the power brick charger hooked up and on. I wonder if you should have tested the UPS without power going in since it has pass-through charging? I understand the thought that for maintaining best battery conditioning, it's best to store the unit at less than 100%. I think you suggested around 50%. That said, if you need the unit when power goes off and it's only at a 50-75% charge, aren't you loosing how many hours you can use it, i.e., powering a refrigerator. If that's the case, I'm not sure it makes sense. Anyway, as always, a great revuew😊
Hi Frank, the light switch turns power off to see how fast the power switches to battery. As far as storage, when you have a power outage solar would be a good solution with most power stations, this one doesn’t have that option (not good)
I doubt it has an ups or transfer relay I’m assuming power brick directly feeds battery cells and inverter draws from separately. Probably why it reads 275watts input no matter the load. Great video though 👍
Can’t generally recommend one unless you have an unlimited budget then I have a few but they would cost over $1,000 easily Need wattage and especially surge wattage
So, about the 1600w vs 1800w as it pertains to this inverter. A 15amp breaker in your house is an 1800w circuit. Max load on that circuit is 80% of that, which is 1600w. Every breaker in the US, except those specifically listed for full load, follow this rule. This inverter is also following this rule. It's essentially a portable 15amp circuit and behaves the same as your household outlet.
How much more space would solar charging require internally to enable that function? It seems as if battery capacity was the primary function. It can be charged via ac it can be charged via alternative external sources.
When you say Eco, what do you mean I’m talking about Ryobi they make some other power stations that use solar. They’re still not the best as far as the type of battery and the cycles.
That's painful. It was so perfect everywhere else. Pass through charging, built in battery, can run a microwave. I just need to charge my milwaukee batteries in my work van without connecting inverter to the battery
That type of information is in our first video I mentioned during this video the link is in the description of our video , lithium ion battery they don’t disclose the cycles at all in the manual, or on their website
Can I keep my sump pump permanently connected to this unit and have the unit permanently connected to the wall outlet? This would be perfect for me if there were a power failure and I wasn't home.
Good morning this unit does have passed through charging meaning that you can have it charging while it powers a device. They don’t state that it offers any type of UPS. What I will say to you is really just make sure that you look up your sump pump wattage, as well as any type of surge wattage to make sure that it meets the requirements of the Ryobi power station. Obviously, I’m not able to give you a yes or a no because I don’t know you were sump pump Specifications.
@@TechMadeEzy I ask because if it has that function and you cannot turn the ECO mode off then it will be problem if you run small cooler or CPAP machine.
I don't think there is a ups feature in this power station..remember power brick step down ac to Dc so it will have pass through charging not ups ..ups allows ac to run the loads..how can it do that when we already have dc coming out of the brick....
Kept mine running from sleep to wake, roughly 7-8 hours and I had 44% charge left. Figured it could easily gone another 6 hours before needing charged back up.
@@TechMadeEzy I can agree with that. And if it's not LFP, it's an automatic no go. With all the benefits of LFP (100% charging, no thermal runaway, longer life), they really messed this one up. And they announced it months ago. Plenty of time to assess the other choices and price points on the market. They also only limit you to two Powerstations max.
Right now I’ve seen other videos do your research. It’s only can only handle 1800 W for three minutes that’s like the first could only run goes back down to 1600 and you get more than 1600. It’s gonna breakers gonna go off.
See how it compares to a current power station 🥊 Head2Head RYOBI 1800w vs ECOFLOW 1800w EcoFlow Delta 2 RYOBI RYI1000 ruclips.net/video/2GuhwRPPjqY/видео.html
As long as the ac units wattage and surge meets the Ryobi specs BUT the challenge you will have if it does it run time. AC units take up a lot of power and this unit doesn’t have a large battery. You would need a much larger capacity unit that’s expandable to do that and it gets expensive. Here is an example of a unit that can in most cases and it’s expandable ruclips.net/video/ixx4gfHV4oo/видео.htmlsi=6DbHvfuM-uGAjUIh
Just the fact that you can't charge by car or solar sold me on NOT getting one. You might just buy a gas generator because you'll need it one anyway if you have power out for a few days.
As a ryobi 40v inverter owner, I am also disapointed with this model. The inverter seems to be the same as the 40V model which is 1600w- its 1800w between AC & DC - i hate this markeing bs. Cons: Way over priced for a NMC battery. fan sounds like you are at an airport. Can only be charged by AC power, no solar input not even a bidirectional USBC - come on ryobi. The only people buying this will be novices and fan boys. The Ecoflow delta 2 crushs this in every spec. This does NOT have a UPS.
I find it hard to believe that they don't have solar charging, yet here we are. I wouldn't mind the fan I think. But for the wattage and price point it actually seems fair to me, but maybe I am missing something. Most other power supplies seem to be 1,000-1,200 watts. The form factor and wattage seems like great selling features. Sure under $1000 would be great, but I like others are most bothered by the lack of solar and 12v car charging options.
@@TechMadeEzyI know, and that is why it's so disappointing. The form factor of this model vs the other options is what makes this so appealing to me. We would use this camping so the form factor is important.
Love dogs. God Bless.
Yeah Al we needed this. I think I’ll have to start buying some Ryobi tools. They have great products that I don’t think Ego will even make. Like their outdoor propane heater for example.
They have a ton of really cool tools especially for their 18 volt lineup but wait I'm coming out with a head to head with this new Ryobi power station
Pretty Impre$$ive Unit.
Great Job on being Meticulous on Details & Specifics....Thank You for Sharing Sir!?!
Thank you
Impressive power station. Thanks for the great review Tech!

Battery is too small you would get like 3 hours, you would need a unit with a 3,500wh battery for about 10 hours and they are usually large
@ thank you
@ATC235 my pleasure
Wow. Finally a UPS function. I am loving it! Question. Is the internal battery replaceable? I will probably watch more video! LOL

So what power station would you recommend for a space heater?
Can’t generally recommend one unless you have an unlimited budget then I have a few but they would cost over $1,000 easily
Need wattage and especially surge wattage
This ryobi station would not power a hest dish or space heater?? Thanks
Great 👍 Ryobi 1800W power station
I'm glad the Ryobi was able to handle the load of your Keurig if it couldn't you could have ended up possibly damaging your Keurig.
So, about the 1600w vs 1800w as it pertains to this inverter. A 15amp breaker in your house is an 1800w circuit. Max load on that circuit is 80% of that, which is 1600w.

What multimeter are you using please..brand etc... is a graphing meter?
Hi not local remind me next week I will definitely share
How much more space would solar charging require internally to enable that function? It seems as if battery capacity was the primary function. It can be charged via ac it can be charged via alternative external sources.
Not much and their other power stations support solar
@@TechMadeEzy but larger foot print. The Eco is larger
When you say Eco, what do you mean I’m talking about Ryobi they make some other power stations that use solar. They’re still not the best as far as the type of battery and the cycles.
I'm having the exact same issues with the app
Does the fan make that much noise when powering a CPAP?
At times ot can be loud, especially at night.
Can you hook this one up to a Ryobi solar panel
No not that I can confirm
That's painful. It was so perfect everywhere else. Pass through charging, built in battery, can run a microwave. I just need to charge my milwaukee batteries in my work van without connecting inverter to the battery
@marvellstarks2434
See my head 2 head video coming up in a few days, might solve your challenge
Absolutely I will. Subscribing now
What type of battery inside? What is duty cycle?
That type of information is in our first video I mentioned during this video the link is in the description of our video , lithium ion battery they don’t disclose the cycles at all in the manual, or on their website
Can it be paired/parallel with the 40v version ?
I hi know, doesn’t say in the manual or website
Ryobi has gotten so good it rules the market
Not LFP? No PV input? Poison power?
Shame especially compared to EcoFlow see this video

@@TechMadeEzy Fossibot F2400 has UPS function. Im currently looking into it for my well pump.
Does anyone know if this will work okay on UK power? if not will Ryobi be selling a UK version?
Does it have ECO power saving mode? If it does, Can it be turned On or OFF?
Haven't seen that feature
@@TechMadeEzy I ask because if it has that function and you cannot turn the ECO mode off then it will be problem if you run small cooler or CPAP machine.
@budmartin3344 I totally understand
Use perallel cables with this ryobi 1800w power station with the ryobi 18v 1800w power station, and at the same time, use the "pass threw" charger.
How long to charge? I Just don’t have time to watch a long video looking for a short answer.
Can this charge an 80v battery?
If you plug the charger for that battery into the AC outlet I would say yes
I don't think there is a ups feature in this power station..remember power brick step down ac to Dc so it will have pass through charging not ups ..ups allows ac to run the loads..how can it do that when we already have dc coming out of the brick....
Wasn’t able to confirm from Ryobi
👍👍
How long window ac?
Kept mine running from sleep to wake, roughly 7-8 hours and I had 44% charge left. Figured it could easily gone another 6 hours before needing charged back up.
3000 is the starting watts. Only meant for startup. Not post load spikes.
Agree, surge but that 1800w, they should have been more upfront with that, hopefully you didn't miss that

Uninterrupted power supply
Now solar support
Can you charge this in a vehicle?
Don’t think I saw that option, I know, solar charging isn’t available
Just the fact that you can't charge by car or solar sold me on NOT getting one. You might just buy a gas generator because you'll need it one anyway if you have power out for a few days.
Not for me....good review....way better options available.

Seems like this product is half baked just like the other ryobi power stations.
I wouldn't buy till they update and show wattage out.
I don't particularly appreciate that charging brick 👎
Agree, pain to have to carry
