Why would you purchase this? You have power tools that aren’t cordless and you’re using them away from power. You throw tailgating parties You have extra batteries and you want back up power just in case You like to camp but due to health reasons need power to sleep (note ego put a disclaimer on this and wants no liability for life support failed) I’m going to assume you have ego products already because they are the overall best products out there. This is what you do with the extra batteries. First off... gotta love the bidding war on amazon. This is currently 760 with shipping. Bare is 655. This is a 1200 tool... so, now is the time to purchase. This comes with two 7.5amp 5 bar power indicators, and upgrade long awaited for. The transformer and cord are stored on top of the generator. The generator will charge 4 batteries (goodbye slow chargers, you have been consolidated) and the screen shows how many bars each battery has. Love it. It also shows how long until charging is complete for all batteries. It charges by rotating between all of them... so my two dead 7.5 and two slightly used 5 amp will all be done charging in 9 hours. If you need emergency charging, keeping a rapid charge available will be good. For my uses, more than 4 batteries is overkill so the slow speed works. Installation consists of installing two rain covers for the vent, and plugging in cords. The plugs ports are 4 usb and 3 standard USA plugs. The covers spring up with a push of a button. It looks like you push a button to activate them. The batteries slip on to the sides. Two on each side. When running, the indicator identifies time on batteries. I recommend googling video reviews. The two review sites I prefer both have testing and reviews up. I’ll update as I play with this. One thing this won’t do is supply power while charging. Bummer. This my spoil the tool for some. Another question I see has to do with sine waves. I know nothing about that other than the answer is yes this is clean power “pure sine wave” per other reviews and will work for electronics. While it states 3000w, it’s 3000w surge and 2000watt normal with a 7.5amp battery. 1200w with 5amp and 600w with 2-2.5amp. If I read the review site right, you just need batteries to build up to the amps... so 4 2.5 gets you past the 7.5amp. I love it and the price war brought it down to a price I’ll purchase. I may even add more at the current prices. If you review against alternatives, the current price wars have made this a no brainer back up solution (assuming no power when charging isnt an issue). When the price wars are done, the price makes other solutions potentially better, but you can also use batteries to mow the lawn. Online sources for videos and detailed reviews: Kite army and protool review. I use them frequently before purchases as well as other sources. Conclusion: if you have ego tools and have a need, this is a no brainer, particularly at current amazon price points. 760 all in is ridiculous.

Just a thought on ego tools in general . Hope thats ok. I got the line trimmer to start with. Love it . Since then I think I've gotten everything they make , except for the lawnmower . And so far it all works great . So powerful ; it takes a little bit to get use to it . I'm glad they have the back pack link thing . Like Buck Rogers or something , ; but the tools get a little heavy , I'd hate to have to swing those tools around with one of the big batteries on the tool . I'm not in shape like before retirement. I have a couple of the 7.5 Ah , a couple 5.0 , and 1 2.5 batteries , and I could run any of the tools for days probably , with that much juice . My favorite has to be th blower . Not the backpack blower ,but the biggest regular leaf blower they make . The coolest yard tool I've ever used . Use it for everything . Thats enough . I hope it helps . ego tools . I love all of them

The power doesnt last as long as you would think it should. Also, It wont provide power and keep itself charged like an UPS, it is only useful after the power goes out. For the money, I expected more like an UPS type functionality, with replaceable batteries, that has shared functionality, with the tools.

I wish the power station had wheels because it's not light. I haven't had to put the power station to the test yet(power outage), but it was easy to assemble. It will charge the batteries when plugged into the wall but it is very slow. This $39.00 "Spacekeeper folding hand truck 500lbs" allows me to move it around the garage and house when I need it. (I have no affiliation with Ego or Spacekeeper) The cart was easy to assemble. I got the model with the snap in wheels, and the release button(I know from the reviews some people got another version). The wheels looked from the pictures to be smooth roller blade style wheels, but unfortunately they are hard plastic, not a deal breaker for me. I may spray some lubricant on the bearings, the bearings sound very dry. Combined with the hard wheels this is not very quiet to wheel around an office or airport. The handle actually fits perfectly in the groove of the Ego power station when the handle is in the vertical position, which is great for storage. I'll update if I experience any breakage of the wheels like others have reported. 4 stars because I can't speak to the long term durability of the power station.

Power station performed as advertised. I use it for baking as power outage is regular where I live and hinders my second business which is baking. It powers the oven and mixer and with only two batteries I can bake and mix cakes and charge my phone for 3-4 hours until the power comes back on. The wonderful thing is that I can keep it in my kitchen. No gas, no fumes, no noise. Great product.

I recently tested this product by using a dyson heater. I started off with 4 fully charged batteries. One was 10ah and 3 were 7.5ah. I was totally disappointed in it's performance. It lasted all of 1 hour! Totally unacceptable! Kind of hard to believe others are running ovens and mixers for 3 to 4 hours. Maybe I got a lemon. I will be contacting the company to discuss possibly defective batteries/generator. In my opinion it's an overpriced multiple battery charger. It only takes 12 hours to charge 4 batteries LOL

I have an ego snow blower so this was perfect. The unit come with two batteries and you have space to charge your other two batteries. It’s kind of heavy with all the batteries on it. It’s great because now I can switch out batteries if I go snow blow my neighbors driveway. I can normally do hers and mine on one set but nice to have if it is really coming down.
