The 150 watt inverter will shut down if the load ever goes above 150 watts, as it has zero surge capability over the listed 150 watts.<\/p>\n<p>It will also go into a &#8220;low power shutdown&#8221; mode to save power if the draw is less than 4 watts, so it is not suitable for running very small loads unattended.<\/p>\n<p>As a small 150 watt inverter, it is serviceable for most small loads, but I really wish it had either a modified sine wave or true sine wave output to make it compatible with more AC devices. Also, having a 300 watt surge capacity for a second or two would have made it much more usable.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I think the Ego Nexus Power Station is a much better (if much more expensive) product as it has a true sine wave power output, and a lot more capacity.<span hidden class=\"__iawmlf-post-loop-links\" data-iawmlf-links=\"[{&quot;id&quot;:393,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/amzn.to\\\/2Z6qKBn&quot;,&quot;archived_href&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;redirect_href&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.amazon.com\\\/Nexus-Escape-150-Watt-Inverter-PAD1500\\\/dp\\\/B07HCGMPZC\\\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?keywords=ego+nexus+escape\\u0026qid=1565993734\\u0026s=gateway\\u0026sr=8-1\\u0026linkCode=sl1\\u0026tag=burningorg-20\\u0026linkId=340b2c875e3f4f135667de2e0b664455\\u0026language=en_US&quot;,&quot;checks&quot;:[],&quot;broken&quot;:false,&quot;last_checked&quot;:null,&quot;process&quot;:&quot;done&quot;}]\"><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I bought the Ego Nexus escape because Ego gave me a $25 off coupon and I have a lot of Ego batteries from my yard equiptment.
