Now... if they can power a coffee maker, it would be even more amazing. I have the older model and they have been great when needed. Maybe picking up the new one to power up my wife's shed instead of running extension cords.

Great video! I read most of the comments and I didn't see anyone mention this......if you get a cigarette lighter adapter/charger with a usb-C output, you can charge your ryobi batteries in you car. We just had a 2.5 day power outage so I've been searching for this capability. I will be buying a couple of these new ones.

A portable battery fits in the pocket and will charge your phone several times.

I have the first version, it's really handy having 120v power that can use Ryobi batteries. Great for camping, or power outages. My only complaint is that it's not pure sine, so things like fans really don't like it. (they will work but they run very hot) That said it's great for being able to charge practically anything even things like camera batteries etc that may not have a USB charger. The new version looks pretty cool too given you can also charge the battery with it. I might need to grab one at some point.

I have ryi150 things a tank dropped it and sparked it still works! Flashes red constantly and still charges. Definatly impressed by thus new one though. The fact that you can reverse charge batteries is kinda genious. You can charge the baterry on the way to work on the carport and leave the big charger in the truck on smaller jobs where you may only need one or 2 batteries. If you need a quick charge pull out your phone charger. Smart will definatly get it when its on sale

That's an interesting thought... I doubt it for that price.

I wished they fixed the original flaw on these inverters. There should be a off on switch on the USB port. THe inverter draws small power to step down the voltage to 5v. So if battery is left plugged into the inverter it slowly drains your battery and after a few days the battery is done.
