- Sue and I saw this new RYOBI 18V Inverter in the Home Depot Automotive aisle. I hadn't heard any announcements from Ryobi about it. I bought one to test out. It has three different power inputs: 12V car battery, 18V One+ battery, or 12V cigarette lighter plug. Depending on the power source, it can produce 800, 300, or 120Watts of modified sinewave AC. It has two 120VAC outlets, two USB-A 2.4A plugs, one USB-C 20W PD plug, and a 12V 10A cigarette socket.
I'm so glad RYOBI finally has a 18V product that has a 12V socket output! I can finally run my CPAP, freezer, and heated blanket! Because it supports 12V battery input, you can hook it up with solar panels, MPPT solar charge controllers, and Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries.
On the down side, it's a modified Sinewave Inverter, I could only get it to output 750W, and the Watt gage was flaky when measuring DC loads.
For improvements, I would like to see a 1000W inverter so I could run my trailers 700W microwave and 5000BTU air conditioner. I would like to see a separate on/off switches for the AC/DC. Built-in solar charging for the 18V One+ battery would be nice.
Things I used:
* 9ah Battery ( amzn.to/32ypiQ0 )
* USB Tester ( amzn.to/3JtfVSA)
* Ryobi 18V 800W Inverter RYi8030AVNM ( www.homedepot.... )
* 12V Electric Blanket ( amzn.to/32txAJe )
* 12V ICECO Freezer ( amzn.to/3Jn3ckh )
* Rich Solar Panels (amzn.to/3JvwUUj )
* Victron MPPT Solar Controller ( amzn.to/3mJ6Xqh )
* Battleborn 100A 12V battery ( amzn.to/3HnZiWA )

Very thorough and well thought review. Thanks for taking the time to provide the great info!!
Wow finally a review that actually tested it to it’s limits! Someone in another review said each outlet was max at 600w so not sure if that’s true or not.
Thanks for the review. They are starting to get close to something good, just not there yet. If they would only watch TH-cam.
Thanks buddy, awesome review. Just hooked mine up to a 500w solar with 4 12v batterys linked. Working so far
Another excellent video, per your normal standards. My view of this product is exactly the same as yours. It's the best they have offered, so far, but they missed the mark going with what is clearly a 750 watt MSW inverter. It does come in at a pretty nice price point and the versatility is impressive. I would NOT trust my more sensitive and expensive electronics to this inverter, though! I'm also willing to bet that it would be very noisy if used to power an amplifier or a ham radio. I'll still probably wind up buying one. :)
Oh thank God I was hoping you'd cover these.
Thank you. Real world use examples as always 🎈
Always a pleasure to watch your videos
If Ryobi...could figure solar charging....gamechanger for them..
They have a small 18V Inverter coming out that will have solar charging www.ryobitools.com/products/details/46396035356
Ryobi needs to update this model. Bluetti, ecoflow, jackery are the way to go for these types of generators. And they can be cheaper. I bought the bluetti eb3a for 209 on Amazon where this ryobi model is about 150 plus you need at least 4ah batteries. I have the ryobi 150 watt inverter and only like it because of its size and I already have a bunch of ryobi batteries.
The new 1000W version is already for sale in the stores. Please do some testing with it. Love your videos!
The reason the cigarette lighter option is set for 120W is to hopefully avoid blowing the fuse on your car.
yup
Thank you for the thorough review!
you answered the question i've been asking since i first saw reviews of this product. i've got a 100w solar panel arriving soon and i was wondering if i could use it with this product. i'll probably need an adapter cord i would guess. it would be nice if the device was also a charger, but hopefully i can plug a 18v battery charger to the inverter A/C outlet and use the solar input and charge the 18v battery.
This would be a great product if it would run on the 18-volt at 300 w and on the other side the 40 volt for like 500 watts and then be able to put out at least 1,000 w but the fact that it's modified sine wave means that the inverter is pretty much worthless it will run lights and fans and heaters but the light bulb will burn out 25% faster and fans will also burn out faster and even that heater can be damaged modified sine wave I wouldn't take one if they gave it away for free this is a worthless product they're 1800 w sine wave inverter is amazing if they made a sine wave model like that and it was exactly the same with the 300 w and 800 w I would definitely want at least one or two thank you for your video you did a great job showing this product and I enjoyed the video and appreciate it
Thanks for the video .I’ve been checking these out. Your video has the best information that I’ve seen 👍
Thanks!
So cool
Running a compressor fridge and electronics on a msw inverter is asking to shorten the life of those products significantly. Pure sine inverters should be used on sensitive electronics and anything with a motor or compressor.
What about running a laptop on it? Wpuld the laptops battery create some kind of safe buffer since power is going through it? I wouldnt be buying it for that reason but we have had a lot of power outages lately.
From Australia 🇦🇺
I picked one of these up used off Craigslist for like $50 I think. It's nice for the DC but it's lame that the AC is Modified Sine. I get why the little ones are but this thing really outta be pure sine.
Great video and review! Hope to see this in stores soon!
Good review. I'm no electrician so I'm not sure how to interpret the DC data. I am only interested in what happens when you plug in a normal 120V AC device using only the 18V ONE PLUS Ryobi battery for power. Would I be able to power a charger to charge LiPo batteries at 26.2V drawing 5A?
I have one. The instructions state that it is 800 watt, however each side of the outlet is limited to 650 watts.it does run the fridge in my RV which is the main reason I purchased it. It is a propane and 110 volt at 460 watts. I don't like to have the propane on while travelling. I am going to play around with solar.
Interesting. I did my test with the 700W heater in one outlet, and the light board in the other. The most I could get was 750W. I went back to instruction sheet and it says “650W(30 min)/600W max continuous”. Yet the product is called “800W Auto Power Inverter”. Something is out of sync 😳
Poderosa review, muchas gracias !!
I have the same inverter and I can't get 800W from the AC outlets. I complained to RYOBI and this is the replay I got:
"RYi8030AVNM is rated for up to 800W of continuous output (650W AC + 150W DC combined). Please note that this unit outputs 650 watts max through the AC outlets."
No where on their website this was written... misleading.
With the large ecosystem of lifestyle options, I think it's incumbent upon Ryobi to come out with larger batteries. 12ah 18 volt and a 15ah 40 volt.
as always, great video!
Love your review video buying it !
Needs 2 ports for 18v batteries, 1000w, charge from 12v/car->batteries, and the ability to jump start a car from 2x18v. Still might pick one up.
Will have future project showing multiple batteries and solar charging. 😉
Another great video.
Now can you make an inverter with the Worx batteries like you did for Riyobi. I like your inventive mind on these things.
I haven't seen Worx before. Do they have the BMS (battery management system) in the battery like Ryobi?
@@SerendipitySue not yet .only their chargers fast charger . They have many devices that go with their 20 volt platform. Just thought with your ingenuity you might design one even maybe sell it in future. Guy
hello - will 1000w run a fridge as well? Ryobi has made one available since this video. Thank you ahead of time for your reply.
A 40V adapter to Car Battery Input would be really useful!
Oh nevermind....modified sine wave...ugh
I was hoping you would make a video on this! I want to like this because it has a 12v port (it should have an on/off switch) but the modified sine is such a buzz kill. I would like to have seen a capacity test with a 18v battery, because I never get close to the batterys stated "WH" with the 18v or the 40v inverter. Hoping they improved the inverter efficiency on this model, but since the DC and AC are always on, it most likely performs the same.
When you had the fridge plugged in DC and the meter was jumping around, could that because the port could be unregulated?
The 40v inverter is much more effecient than this when i ran my tv and xbox watching netflix.
@@TheChewy78were you worried about the sine wave? I dont understand what some of the comments mean by sensitive products, I am planning to plug my laptop to one of these and I donr want it to break 😅
Anyone know if a UK/EU option (240V) of this product is to be made as this looks good?
Where can I get one? I have looked it up eBay, but I can't find it .
Very nice video thank you! just at the end you mention someone about solar charging. I know you mentioned you would like Solar, but did you find the unit can actually charge an 18v battery with any of the available connections?
Great review and covering so many uses cases. Do you know if I can boose a car battery? If so what accessories do I need to do so?
Great review
Thanks for the review. I wish it could charge the 18v battery from 12v while driving or via solar. A QC USB port would be nice.
Might be a bridge too far with this setup far but do you foresee a future application as a vehicle jumpbox?
Great idea about car battery jumper
They just released a USB C charger for the 18v batteries too.
@@coryulrich6489 I've been waiting since they announced it in September, but the web site still says "Coming Soon". www.ryobitools.com/products/details/46396035356
I was thinking this thing would be able to be used to jump start a small or medium car with a Ryobi battery
unfortunately not :-(
Have you tried connecting it to the RV batteries and plugging in the RV to it to see if it'll power the RV wall outlets?
Do I need on of this for home user?? Trying to justify what would I need it for. Lol
any way to modify the 12v output to 20amps? great detail on your video.
This works for fridges as sine wave?
what about a cpap machine how long run on say 6a battery
what is the average load (Watts) for your CPAP?
how long would the 12 volt battery last?
I’m confused as to what you meant with the solar stuff. Were you saying you could use it with a solar system in conjunction with a charge controller as a system? Or that you could charge the battery with the solar panels? I haven’t seen any videos showing it can take inputs
It can be hooked up to a 12V battery. That 12V battery can be charged with solar. If the battery is full, the extra solar will be passed on directly to the inverter
The CFL bulb didn’t seem to light up. Was that disconnected or was it unhappy with the “modified sine wave” waveform?
It wasn’t switched on for that test
I am completely naive in this topic. But what if I connect the inverter to a car battery that is not connected to a vehicle , trailer or such. Can this work? How long can the battery last before it runs out of juice?
Sure you can connect the battery clamps to any 12V battery. Run time depends on the size/type of your battery and how much power you are pulling.
Willing to bet the 300W option wont support 300W .. Betting it will cut out around 250-260W ...
It's tested right in the video... somewhere past 365w it cuts. th-cam.com/video/h4y5VV1aVHA/w-d-xo.html
@@SchuylerBatdorf the 40V 300W version only holds about 255W before it cuts out.
Had 3 units and all of them cut out just past 250W ...
@@SchuylerBatdorf funny the 300W setting did great and the 12V also did great but it didnt hold 800W ...
There is a newer version. Rated at 1000w
Hi mate, they just came out with these gadgets and yes they also released do solar panels charging stations for the 18v. Would you happen to have any 20v dewalt batteries to use with this inverter and see how it performs and how would you protect it without killing it dead. (I believe dewalt they don't have any built-in protection preventing it to go 0v the their batteries)
Have you checked the Voltage and the Hz. My Voltage is all over the place and the Hz is 120? Is anyone seeing this?
what device are you using to measure voltage and frequency?
@@SerendipitySue Kill A Watt, Klien voltage meter and a Digital multimeter. All these meters work fine on my house and generator. Voltage ranges from 80 to 119. With nothing pluged in the voltage is 119. Plug something in and the voltage drops. The hertz reads 120. The hertz should by 60?. I have 2 gauge wire running from battery to inverter. This is the second unit I've had. The first unit was DOA. Has anyone really tested these units? Thanks for answering
I remember reading somewhere that some older killawatt had issues with modified square waves
if only rigid would make one
1000 watt out now
I saw it, but if you look at the specs. it says "AC Max Output 850W. Total Combined Output
1000W". If the AC output was 1000W, then it might be useful to run a small microwave.
@@SerendipitySue dang it...
I didnt see that... thanks
Good enough to run my toaster I guess.
Probably not, guessing toaster would be 1500watt
Dirty sine wave, and only able to use 1 18 volt battery at a time, no thanks. Make this so it puts out a clean sine wave, and is able to use several 18 volt batteries at the same time for higher wattage output and longer run time, then they would have something. Until that time comes, I will just have to make my own.
its no good for 240v countries 😞
I should sue their asses, and still might, for false advertisement. Bought one that advertises being able to plug a small crock pot into it. I did, and jt started makin noise and it wont do it. It would most likely blow the whole invertor.
