This comes with the "batteries " has way more connection options is 10lbs lighter l, a single handle etc. EGO batteries are so expensive that I wouldn't want to exhaust them for something like this that can be easily substituted. Though, I'd guess the unit ego is built better and more reliable but that's a tough sell given the pro/cos.
Consider how frequent you have power outages, the duration of the typical outage, and how long your batteries will last powering your essentials (fridge, landline, LED lamp). I have lived in a remote area where power outages were common. We used UPS units for essential items (pellet stove), battery operated units like this for the first 1-2 hours for things like a fridge, landline (no cell service in our area), and maybe one LED lamp. If the power outage would be 4 to 48 hours, we would switch to a Champion 3,000 watt inverter gas-powered generator. After a certain number of hours, you'll have to switch to a gas powered generator. Even the small 1,000 watt inverter generators are quiet and can handle quite a bit. I recommend inverter generators because they are so good at conserving fuel. We did not run the generator through the night--that's generally not needed. Your fridge will be fine for 8 hours if you do not open the door.
