Nexus Escape Ego 56v. Nexus Escape 150-Watt Power Inverter PAD1500

Shortly, after receiving this product, we had a thunderstorm, which knocked our power out for several hours. I was able to easily plug my router into this product, while using the battery from my mower, allowing me quick access for my power needs. It is portable, allowing it to be moved very easily around the house and can be used indoors or outdoors. I since have bought several others, which will allow me to be able to power several devices when the next power outage strikes. I highly recommend these for their flexibility and quality!

This is a great addition to have on hand. We have lost power for over 24 hours before and this will keep the phones charged and allow us to watch a dvd. I love that it takes the same batteries as my EGO 2 stage snowblower.

This is a review of the 150w model.The size is great. Fits in my glovebox or under the seat. Even without a snap to lock the battery in place, it never fell out when carrying it. Everyone else was impressed by the size, and usability.Power output of this square wave inverter will cause several brands of LED's to buzz and be dimmer than expected. My 2* 100w (15w) LED's (the picture that shows as 30w consumed when plugged into regular wall power) will only work at half capacity, ~60w (6w), (the picture which shows 12w consumed when plugged into regular wall power) etc. Also, I noticed the power meter couldn't tell the frequency of the output, just stating DC instead of the usual 59.9 hertz) For many folks this might be a downside. For my purpose as a camping power source to replace gas lamps and flashlights with something brighter but not too bright, it worked great. The half power LED actually doubled the battery life I calculated. Same as if the LED's had dimmers on them, or using lower rated bulbs. It remains to be seen if the power problem equals drastically shorter life of the LED's though. Also, because the LED's took less power, We were able to power speakers and phone chargers all at the same time from a power strip.It powers air mattress inflator/deflators just fine, you can hear the motor is a bit slower, but nobody really noticed the time difference. The iPhone fast charger using the 20w usb c adapter was noticeably slower, but still better than regular usb speed.There is no remaining capacity indicator on the device. It would be much better with a minutes runtime remaining, that almost all UPS battery backups have. The green light is good on my EGO's for about 5% - 100% of the battery. The 5 led EGO battery gauge on some batteries is not reliable for predicting time increments. It took 3 hours for the first led to go out, and 30 minutes for the second led, 1 hour for the 3rd led, etc. Same load constant.In all it was a good purchase for my use case, but misleading advertising to not place disclaimers on the box about what it's not going to work with. I expect many unhappy customers expecting it to be the same as a generator, or pure sine wave UPS's.

Okay, I am not well versed in electricity output etc, so when I read it could power anything I thought it would be cool to use in order to turn my current edger, weed eater, and head trimmer to battery. I thought I was being clever. Nope, apparently all of those have too high a draw and it will not work. It is only good for well… I guess monitors, laptops, and charging phone oh well. It was a good idea. Love my mower…

Ok, I’ve used this item for a while before my recent purchase of another one. (Comments on this item at bottom)I originally purchased it to have for simple phone, iPad etc. charging during a power outage. I own and have used their other products for years.. lawn mower, weed eater, hedge trimmer and chain saw. I have not been disappointed with any of them. Decent to long battery life, usually better than expected with only one battery going bad (for unknown reasons) sooner than expected out of about 9 batteries over 6 years.I purchased an additional inverter to use on my pontoon boat to power Christmas lights for a Christmas boat parade…….FIRST USE-plugged in lights while holding the inverter next to the boat….I dropped it..with battery attached….into the lake. I could see the battery light on 3 feet down. I fished it out, tried to plug it back into the lights to test….inverter shut down as expected, then put both at the base of my refrigerator where the warm air exits to dry it out over night. NEXT DAY—-plugged in the inverter then the lights, pressed the buttons and on went the lights. Completely shocked as I just knew it had shorted out the circuit board. Can’t believe it. Even MORE impressed with EGO now.
