Lets see what Black Friday brings

Meanwhile EcoFlow and Bluetti and others make products that can run that load for hours with no swapping. You can even get inexpensive lifepo4 batteries and an all in one inverter and charger for less than this deal..
I'm a fan of Ryobi, but these power stations are very overpriced by at least 2-3x and make no sense at this price point even if you're heavily invested in the batteries. They even make a unit more like the EcoFlow and Bluetti ones with a built in battery and it's also more expensive than theirs.
Now, if the price on these dropped significantly, it might be more compelling to make the jump. But that's not the case at the moment.
With that all said this is way overpriced for what you get. You can spend the same and get more capacity and utility (higher output) from an all in one unit. You won't be able to swap batteries, but that's not really worth the premium. If they could get the bare tool down to something reasonable so we could use our already owned batteries in a extra 'just in case' way like the inverters it would make sense.
Someone brought up this is a multiport charger. If you have 8 batteries already, I guarantee you were given a charger per 2 batteries and probably have 8 of them you should try to give to family and friends lol. I don't know why Ryobi fans act like they can't just plug in 6-8 chargers even if they had to use a couple power strips. The chargers use less than 70 watts each, so even hooking up 10 is less than 700 watts. That's no where near a microwave, toaster, small electric oven, or electric heater. The multiport chargers charge one battery at a time so it takes longer, don't try to sell me that as an advantage. I rather trickle charge my batteries if I could, but that's not what I'm getting from any multiport charger anyway.

I live in the boonies of MN and haven't really truly lost power for more than 12 hours, but in the dead of winter, that's long enough.
I have a 2000W gas generator and a 4500W gas generator, but am considering something battery powered to run some stuff for short outages that doesn't require dragging out the gas stuff in 20 below zero temps...
Get the inverter separate from the battery. If either fails, the whole thing doesn't have to be thrown out.
I've seen plenty of power stations that were likely going to be paper weights after only a few years. This Ryobi contraption is a real head scratcher though. It makes about as much sense as buying simply because the color matches the rest of your tools. I'm into Ridgid, but I still wouldn't buy a device like this from them. The furthest I went that way was their clip-on USB charger for a drill battery (and I can't say I've ever used it because it's inconvenient to recharge vs a usb-c power bank I can just plug into solar).

nevermind, this $800 coupon code is now $700. So up to $1098.
