I have that thing and it's got a few nitpicks.
The non-perfect sine wave means I'm afraid to plug anything important into it (say, a laptop). It drains faster than I thought it would (I think its efficiency isn't very good). I've got the 6ah batteries on it and can only work with my small table saw for about two hours (not running continuously, just the normal off-and-on of working). Charging is very slow, the individual charger works faster. You can't charge and use it at the same time. It's HEAVY; I think it weighs more than the four huge batteries I put on it.
That said, it has its uses. Wait for it to go on sale; it frequently sells for half or less of its MSRP.
- rsync 7y agoAll valid points. I personally use the 9ah batteries and am fairly happy with the capacity. It is, indeed, known to be (relatively) slow at charging the batteries as opposed to the individual charger. Motor start/stop is fairly energy intensive so it doesn't surprise me that you can only run the table saw for two hours...
- fpgaminer 7y agoYeah I've been meaning to throw a kill-a-watt on the saw and see how much it's using exactly. But I've also run, for example, fans off the power station and they seemed to die faster than I thought they would.
