My research indicates the EGO Power + Nexus Escape 150W Power Station is $20 lower (20% savings) than the next best available price from a reputable merchant with prices starting from $99 at the time of this posting.
Sorry, I should have been more clear with my comment, I'm skeptical of buying from the acme site in general, given they can't state the details accurately, ego tools on the other hand are great!

I had just woken up when I originally misread your comment. Reread now and that was entirely my fault. You clearly stated acme, not ego. Please forgive me, for I have sinned.
I have heard great things about Ego chainsaws so this seems like a good deal. As an alternative I bought the Hart 40v saw at Walmart a couple months back and have cut about five cords of wood with it. I live at 8700 feet and use wood for heat. I am very happy with the Hart. I also sharpen my own blades which is a skill I recommend chainsaw owners develop. It's 17 miles into town so doing things on my own is important.
That's a convenience I sometimes wouldn't mind. But, I have to jump in my flatboat go up the bayou 10 minute ride. Jump on high ground walk about 2 football fields. Now I wait for the next bus that may come on the hour or a little after. We live in peace but it has its pitfalls. I also live below sea level! 😅👌🏼👌🏼Being self reliant is a necessity.
I'm tempted to take that gamble on the Nexus - seems a mixed bag though.
I have the nexus, and it's pretty sweet, if you have a few of the Ego batteries. When my power goes out, I can plug in a smallish power strip, and then power up my internet router, laptop, usb hub to charge multiple phones, etc. The 5 ah battery lasts at least a few hours while powering these type of things. Saved my butt a couple of times when working from home during power outages.

I found it to be worthless and returned it. Even for light loads, some electronics do not like the waveform - would not even power a small DJI drone charger. I like the ego products in general, but they don't seem to know what they are doing on their inverters.

I bought one of those EGO 18" saws last year when Home Depot was closing them out. Bonus that it has the same battery as my leaf blower.
but, that saw is a beast around the house. Great for bucking up logs for firewood, clearing storm debris, or even no mess tossing in the back seat just in case you need to cut your way home(which actually happened). Probably have about 3 cords of wood run through it. I still use my gas Husky for felling, but am really impressed with the EGO saw. Pleasant on the ears too.

Very happy with my 3 ego products from acme!
Electric chainsaws don't give you nearly as much zombie killing Torque vs gas powered.
We still doing zombies in 2021?!
Ahh. That makes SO much more sense. <3

1700 or 2100 psi coming out your tap outside? Where do I get that kind of city pressure 😂
Thanks!
