Very expensive and unless they’ve updated it, if what you’ve got plugged in is pulling under 80 watts, it shuts after an hr. Milwaukee owned it.... said it was a “feature”. I say flaw.

[@tannermartin7263]

It’s because it’s Pure Sine Wave Power. Meaning clean power not raw power that a conventional generator produces . you can power LED TVs , even a microwave! Regular Gennys can’t make that unless you get an inverter generator which does the same thing as this but look at the price difference of those Generators

[@connors.1077]

@@tannermartin7263 To the best of my knowledge, the alternator on a "conventional" generator (or at least what I think you mean by that) does produce a "pure sine wave", in that it's not filtered from a pulse width modulated DC voltage like many cheap DC-->AC inverters*. On the other hand, it won't necessarily be frequency stable, or voltage stable. To be frequency stable, the engine would have to hold either 3600 RPM or 1800 RPM, depending on how many poles the alternator has. I don't think an alternator without correction can be voltage stable at constant RPM; please correct me if I'm wrong. An inverter marketed as "pure sine wave" will probably also yield a sine wave that's not mathematically pure, but unlike simple alternators, inverter microprocessors can sense load changes and correct phase shifts and voltage drops, assuming enough DC power is available at the input. This doesn't mean that every product _does_, just that the technology we have makes it possible. *I imagine you could even have a worse waveform from a cheaply made inverter generator than from a regular generator if a bad circuit topology is chosen for the inverter.

[@Veritas-invenitur]

@@connors.1077 Some of the higher end inverter pure sign wave Gen sets produce a better sine wave than you will get from the wall. Those generators in question have power factor correction.

“Pure sine”, there is one reason why it is more expensive. Many of the DC inverters have a modified site wave, and are cheaper. This will not harm electronics. On the “feature”, a hack is to connect an electrical timer that would turn on every 50 minutes for about 2 minutes that would turn on something more than 80 watts. I found this information on another channel. So, does this mean it is definitely meant for a contractor site, and not the home user? Ego does have a solar powered attachment they have just announced for their Battery Powered Generator, and they don’t auto power off with lower power draw devices are connected for an hour. Based on the comparison between Ego, Dewalt, and Milwaukee, I would probably go with the Ego.

The inverters in trucks are at best like 400 watts you can charge batteries but that's about it for a job really and it has to be running I mean you could do some lights but it would have to run and it would work for camping but for that there are so many better options but at a job it is a perfect replacement for a generator because most tools that you would use need that big power but only for a few seconds at a time maybe a minute vs a generator running the whole time just wasting fuel so unless it's like a house where you are trying to power your fridge and lights may a tv or something to keep you entertained it's not going to last long and a generator would be a good choice I do think it's over priced i could build something better with like 4 times the battery for cheaper but it's a ready to go solution

I'm not really sure who Milwaukee is directing this product towards. When it first came out, I assumed contractors on jobsites. Well, one thing I could see being plugged in would be a bunch of lights to light up said area. But then the lights shut off every hour unless you hit 80 watts. So Milwaukee retracts from a nice sized job site and downgrades to 1-2 users. Well, 2200 for 1-2 users is a pretty penny honestly. Doesnt seem that much better than, say, the dewalt inverter honestly and even m18 fans buying the mx would be like a new platform so i dont see who would be buying this ideally. Thanks for the vid

Solar Power option would be great, only problem is that solar power does not charge large batteries very quickly (from my understanding). But who knows what some R & D can accomplish!

[@TheNorthlandWorkshop]

It would be better from an efficiency standpoint to have the multivolt charger built in to the thing. Changing the battery voltage to 120v ac just to have the multivolt charger step it backdown to 18 or 12v dc is less efficient than simply stepping the big pack battery voltage down to 18 or 12.

[@generation-x406]

I feel the solar charging would be a waste due to solar panels having a low efficiency rate of conversion and well... Needs sun.. 12v charging from the plug in the truck/car would be more practical since it could charge while in transit or idling and short durations of the vehicle off as well. I would be curious if a charged car/truck battery that wouldn't be assisted by the alternator could charge the MXFuel and have enough to still fire up the vehicle, but an automatic low vehicle battery shunt integrated into the MXFuel would be more practical.

Bottom line: the Festool version offers lots more power and lots more run-time. The downside is that the Festool is mucho more $$$. It'll make the Milwaukee $2.2K price look like a bargain.

People really can't think outside of the box.

Those complaining about price fail to see $1200 is batteries. If you want more run time and can't do solar just buy an additional battery and recharge it elsewhere. As far as the whining about the low power cut off Why on Earth would you be using us to charge phones or a small laptop? just buy a damn USB C charging pack like the ancor 20ah again people this isn't that complicated! Why do you want to make the product more expensive by asking Milwaukee to integrate more circuitry plugs in cost if asked to have a solar charger option directly when the majority of contractors are going to use these indoors where solar is pointless...

It's not fully baked yet. 2) I don't understand why I can't plug M18s or M12s into it and not only charge them too but USE them too as part of the bank. I want all my batteries to be one big battery on demand. Why isn't that a thing?

[@redcartiers]

I feel like the microwave acting funny, maybe the power supply itself has some type of tech that automatically adjusts the power output. Maybe it was just struggling to find the right power output to set itself to

[@l.b.williams5500]

I don't see the limited power availability lasting 2 or more guys more then 3-4 hours plus it's limited power output and no solar charger so I think other then camping i will stick to the o a small gas generator for a fraction of the cost i liked to know what condition those batteries are in after a 1000 hours if use cause after paying for my generator and fuel to get to the price of that thing i be at at least a 1000 hours and that's only a oil change no engine issues plus my generator is very quiet so at the cost o think this might work for the space program but not for my or our (husband and I) company job sites or home the cost and bad reviews if milwaukee batteries over time is not justified maybe with a solar charger and pass threw power and slightly lowered price it could be reconsidered thanks for the HONEST REVIEW if what now more then ever seems like a useless piece of over priced equipment

I was until the 80 watts turn off. Why didn’t they make it if nothing is running load then it shut down after 20 min. If you have a load then you must be using it I keep with my dewalt inverter the pure Ac sin wave surge power strip conditioner. And when a battery dies I have tons extra batteries I can pop into the unit to keep it going.. when I change electrical panel my dewalt inverter keeps lights on all day keeps the room bright so I don’t need a flashlight. Some times while I’m changing the panel I plug there sub pump to keep the basement from flooding while I’m changing out the panel. There times where customers need power for c path machine. Even after I power down panel the customer yelled they were in there power recliner and stuck in the seat dewalt power inverter just plug in got them out of there power recliner. I like the idea of Milwaukee generator inverter but looks to big bulky. And charge it takes 3 hours turn me off. Maybe if they came out with one that changed the Milwaukee battery out when it dies for M 18 I have ton of battery and Milwaukee tools to Never used just 1 brand used all of them because some companies make some tools better then others. I used all brands if I like it make my job easier I buy it.

[@georgef1176]

Myself as a fabricator and mechanic this would be useful at salvage yards if you really need power and battery tools won’t cut it. Although myself I have been good even cutting cars in half for quarters with Milwaukee battery’s.

[@angeldamian6263]

I’m in Houston Tx freeze of 2021 there’s need to be something that could work indoors to help us stay warm ? I thought about that Milwaukee generator. But seeing this I’ll pass and buy a gas generator

[@donniemiller.1603]

Don't think solar is going to happen , they could do it but it would have to come with a solar panel setup that folds out probably about 9 foot wide and 4 door high , it would have to have a solar charge controller and maybe a DC to DC inverter built in and that would run piece up to around $4000 to $5000 , Idk I could be wrong . lol

[@thatdude6045]

I love Milwaukee but I guess I’m less impressed with this one. Gotta say I can understand not having a pass through, you dont need a pass through if you already have power close by

[@erike7297]

I bet a refrigerator and a TV makes that thing say uncle. I've got a bunch of M18 gardening tools such as the chainsaw and weed wacker etc.. they are great but they only come out for the light duty jobs cause that's all they can handle. Gas is still king and its not even close.

[@shadowmedic777]

Would seriously consider but makes no sense that it won’t pass through power while charging, shuts off after an hour so I can’t charge my small devices, annnnd I really need to be able to solar charge this thing! Silly

[@robertkotula5389]

huge miss

[@sleuth6969]

Needs solar charger also needs pass threw power plus what those batteries worth And honestly 27012"saw cuts is not much Way to waste that kinda money Vince I think millwaukiee has you hook line ands sinker lol

[@rh3309]

Hey VCG can you get on the horn with ryobi and tell them to make a 1500w 15a power supply? With all the free battery tool deals they had over the years people have tons of their batteries lying around and these would sell like hot cakes.

[@HotForgeChaos]

Solar technology is not yet at the point where it can supply electricity to quickly charge batteries of this size with a compact panel size. You would get probably 10w @ 12v tops with a small photovoltaic panel

[@CMCraftsman]

I just bought the cut off saw. I hope they make a Mx fuel lawnmower

[@typicalguardian2214]

So let's say I wanna get this for my house in case us Texans have another bad winter. Would this be recommended or Okay to buy?

[@sethtaylor5938]

It is reported that Milwaukee changed the design and newer production eliminated the timeout feature because of complaints from customers. Add the solar charge option. Going to buy one for use where I can’t use gas engine

[@Kingdom-Building]

I need a power supply that will power an A/c for 8 hrs? Battery operated Preferably. Will this Milwaukee item work for me?

[@doubleas88]

If it's going to cost over 2 grand there is absolutely no reason why milwaukee couldn't add a hookup to add solar panels...

[@johnedwards2696]

Can't see much point in returning to corded tools thru' an inverter pack. Sure, there are instances but Milwaukee have most areas covered with M18.
