Model-Specific Results

1 of 3 models are SAFE or TIGHT. Most demanding model: DeWalt DWE575 (7-1/4", 15A, Lightweight) (5,400W surge).

Model Running Surge Verdict Runtime Source
DeWalt DWE575 (7-1/4", 15A, Lightweight) 1,800W 5,400W Fail โ€” Engineering Est.
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 1800W from OEM nameplate (15A ร— 120V). **Estimated startup surge:** 5400W at 3x running (motor-load multiplier โ€” no OEM starting watts published). **Voltage:** 120V AC. Universal motor, 5200 RPM no-load, 7-1/4" blade, 8.8 lbs.

Field note: The DWE575 is the best-selling corded circular saw in the US. At 8.8 lbs it's the lightest 15A saw available, making it popular for overhead and extended jobsite use. The 5400W estimated surge means most power stations under 3000W surge capacity will struggle to start this saw under load.

Can a portable power station run the DeWalt DWE575?

Only if your power source can supply at least 1800W continuous and approximately 5400W surge at 120V. The motor startup surge is the main challenge โ€” a 2000W station with only 3000W surge may trip on startup.

Makita 5007MG (7-1/4", 15A, Magnesium) 1,800W 5,400W Fail โ€” Engineering Est.
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 1800W from OEM nameplate (15A ร— 120V). **Estimated startup surge:** 5400W at 3x running (motor-load multiplier โ€” no OEM starting watts published). **Voltage:** 120V AC. Universal motor, 5800 RPM no-load, 7-1/4" blade, magnesium construction.

Field note: The 5007MG's magnesium housing makes it durable and well-balanced for professional use. Its 5800 RPM is the highest in this set. From a power station perspective, it's electrically identical to the DeWalt โ€” same 15A draw, same estimated 5400W surge. Choose between them based on ergonomics and blade speed, not electrical compatibility.

Is the Makita 5007MG harder to run on a power station than the DeWalt?

No โ€” both draw 15A (1800W) with an estimated 5400W startup surge. The Makita spins faster (5800 vs 5200 RPM) but that doesn't affect the electrical load. Any power source that runs one will run the other.

Ryobi CSB125 (7-1/4", 13A, Budget) 1,560W 4,680W Tight ~0.9h Engineering Est.
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 1560W from OEM nameplate (13A ร— 120V). **Estimated startup surge:** 4680W at 3x running (motor-load multiplier โ€” no OEM starting watts published). **Voltage:** 120V AC. Universal motor, 5000 RPM no-load, 7-1/4" blade.

Field note: The CSB125 is the most power-station-friendly circular saw in this set. At 1560W running and 4680W estimated surge, it opens up compatibility with mid-range power stations (3000W+ surge) that cannot start a 15A saw. If you're buying a corded saw specifically for portable power use, the 13A rating is a real advantage.

Why choose the Ryobi 13A over a 15A saw for portable power?

The 13A Ryobi draws 1560W running and an estimated 4680W surge โ€” 13% less than 15A saws. This difference can mean the difference between a power station starting the saw or tripping on overload.

โš ๏ธ Before You Buy: Connection Check
Amperage check

This load may exceed a standard 15A outlet. Verify your station has a higher-amperage outlet (20A/30A) before purchase.

Generator Insights

The 4800W surge can handle typical motor-driven equipment like well pumps, refrigerators, and air compressor startup cycles that demand brief power spikes far exceeding their running load. The 2048Wh capacity supports extended runtime for moderate continuous loads. This combination can support both startup intensity and operational endurance for critical home systems during outages.

This unit uses LFP chemistry and provides output specifications documented by the manufacturer. The 4800W surge rating indicates robust inverter design for high-inrush loads, though users must verify compatibility with their specific appliances and ensure proper ventilation during operation.

Technical Analysis

Spec-Based โ€ข No Guarantees

Technical Breakdown

Running range: 1560W (13A) to 1800W (15A) depending on motor rating. Estimated surge range: 4680W to 5400W at 3x running (motor-load multiplier โ€” no circular saw manufacturer publishes starting watts). Voltage: 120V AC for all corded models.

Expected Behavior

Estimated runtime: ~0.8h. Circular saws draw near-maximum rated power during cutting and drop to near-zero between cuts. Unlike compressors or refrigerators, there is no continuous cycling โ€” the load is entirely user-controlled. At 1 hour daily use, energy consumption ranges from 1560 to 1800 Wh depending on model.

Field Note

Startup surge is the primary compatibility bottleneck, not running watts. A circular saw motor must overcome blade inertia from standstill, creating a brief 3x inrush event. Blade binding in wood can also spike current above rated amps โ€” size your power source for the surge rating, not the nameplate amps.
