I bought a Yeti 3000 after Hurricane Maria ravaged Puerto Rico. I decided to learn about NMC. They are really good. I cycle my Yeti between thirty five and seventy five percent. After three years and five months it still charges up to ninety percent. I am completely satisfied with the Yeti. I am excited to see the new Yeti 6000. I would buy it. Thanks GZ guys.
Simple question. No one will use an iron or blender during an emergency. What we will use is the REFRIDGERATOR, LAMPS and TV. If all 3 are plugged into a Yeti 1400, how long can they run, considering typical side by side fridge and flat screen tv?
Great question, I'd like to know, too. I haven't been able to get a definitive answer yet, but do have some info to share which you may find helpful. The average refrigerator pulls around 800 watts (but doesn't run continuously, it cycles), each light bulb will pull 60 or 100 watts (however it's marked) unless you use LEDs, which sip power (15 watts used to approximate a 60 watt incandescent). An average laptop can pull around 30 watts. So you can add these up for your total "run draw" (# of watts used when all are running) to determine how many watts you will need (e.g. 1250, 1400, 2200, 3000 or higher). But don't forget refrigerators use a "surge draw," meaning when the compressor first kicks on, it will draw 50-100% more power for a couple of minutes until it gets going. So your "surge draw" will be significant higher than your "run" draw." For example, if your refrigerator uses 800 watts, it will *actually* use 1200-1600 watts when it first kicks on, quickly dropping down to 800 as it gets going. So be sure you pick a Yeti with not only a high enough "run draw," but also a high enougb "surge draw." As I recall, my Yeti 1250 can provide 1200 (not 1250) watts of continuous power, and has a surge capacity of 1500 watts. So it can handle my 800 watt refrigerator kicking on without blowing a fuse. But I better not be using another 400 watts for other devices when the refrigerator kicks on, or I could blow a fuse.
Hi Joel, I use a Yeti 400 (non-lithium). Yes, you can charge and use it at the same time I'm charging it and powering my router, CD changer, Zoom H6 as I write this comment. I am not currently charging my laptop with , but I just did. I am hoping to get a bigger model so I can power my fridge, oven, and toaster as well.
GREAT VIDEO BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING FOR A POWER STATION ON MY MOBILE OFFICE TO RUN A 32" TV, AND A LAPTOP THANK YOU... I WAS WONDERING HOW MUCH TIME I WOULD GET, I WISH I SAW THE TV RUN ON THE 1000 AND SEE THE TIME IT WOULD LAST
Thanks for the kind words. All you really need to do to find out how long an item would run for on our Yeti 1000 would be to take the wattage of the Yeti 1000, which is 1000 watts, and divide it by the wattage of your tv. This will give you the runtime before it drained the Yeti to empty.
@@goalzero that is awesome, I am close to purchasing it for my converted mobile office vehicle in which we are going to be selling health insurance out of, God bless and again thanks for reaching out... John 3:16
Great video! I made a similar video testing a few different items as well as the Boulder 100 for input power. You should consider making a video showing your solar panels plugged into the PWM and MPPT charge controllers and showing the differences in efficiencies! I love my Yeti 1400! Thanks for sharing :)
Hi Tyler, Thank you for the suggestion. We'll be sure to show the panels and the MPPT vs PWM differences in a future video. Thank you for your support!
I would like to know if I could run my 5000 BTU window air-conditioner and how long? I'm hoping to use a goal zero to cool my camper van and even cook with it on an induction stove. I'm not a fan of propane in a camper
Hi Falcon, That will ultimately depend on the wattage consumption of your air-conditioner. If you contact our solutions center team at 1-888-794-6250 Mon - Fri from 8am - 5pm MST with the tech specs of your AC they can see if ti will work on our Goal Zero Yeti's
Look up the math on how things like this work, (watts = volts x amps) and most all equipment have normal running watts but also have start up wattage requirements (2-3 x normal operating watts) just to get things like motors spinning. Without knowing all these quantities, but looking at what you want to run I would say possibly for about 25 minutes before you are completely out of usable power (do not drain your batteries 100% ever!) if it starts it at all.
The 3000 is $3000!!! I dont think anyone could afford that. A gas/propane generator is up to 3 times more powerful and can run longer as long as you have fuel, and that under $1200. I Another question is does the Yeti come with solar panels, answer is no. SO thats another expense.
@@VinnieGinCA these things have a big advantage over gas though. you can keep them in the house while its running, so if you dont need to run something big this is ideal. even if you leave the gas generator outside and run an extention cord inside, the noise of the gas generator gets super annoying
Love Goal Zero...but I think its bizarre that the new yeti lithium 3000 stations don't shut off! I have never owned a product I couldn't power down, unplug or shut down in someway. Wassup with that GZ? The back display is always on?
I want to buy the Yeti 1500 but I have one question. Does it say anywhere that you can daisy-chain 2 or more YETI power systems together or, I can only run each YETI separately? If I can only run each YETI separately, do you sell an alternate lithium battery as an accessory to attach to a YETI for extra power?
So goal zeros have no issues with heating elements. Such as crock pots and coffee makers etc. we had an solar system that failed due to heating elements why.
Biggest concern in the desert is summertime a/c during power loss. I have a Yeti 150, 400 & 1400. I’ve figured out how to power (Yeti/Boulder panels) a misting system for the patio, but a/c still seems out of reach for even a 1-room a/c unit. Please demonstrate the Yeti 3000 with a temporary, portable a/c system in a future video. Thank you
Hi Rebel, Thanks for your suggestion. We actually make and sell a roll cart for our Goal Zero Yeti 1000 Lithium and Yeti 1400 Lithium Portable Power Stations. (Included with the Yeti 3000 Lithium). That roll cart can be found on our website located here www.goalzero.com/shop/yeti-accessories/yeti-lithium-roll-cart/. Our Goal Zero Yeti 1250 also comes with a roll cart for easy transport.
Side note: In the end, where he prints, he uses an inkjet printer. They use considerably less power than a laser printer so keep that in mind when sizing their product for your needs.
I have had the Yeti 1000 for over a year and the 120v AC stopped working and each time i reset it a red light turns on and it says overload. But nothing is plugged in. What am i supposed to do? This occurred when i used the exact same 1500w space heater that you used in another yeti commercial.
Is this company still in business? I've seriously been considering the 3000 watt power station but can never get anyone live on your customer service and they don't bother to ever respond to email and I've tried 3 times !!
Goal Zero, add on modules to add diff batts like battleborn would be appreciated! 6000 & 3000 owner for our chatanooga tinyhouse 5th wheeler. Thats all computers, cameras, tablets, 2 tvs LG cx 65", and c1 75", a fridge, 4 freezers, 2 for food for dogs, our wifi and the booster things, the "wired" cameras for our prop, the "wired" high powered LED flood and spooting lights for security... thanks to you guys, and also the numerous 500 and 1500 units we use around our property. We also use 1500 kits for all our air bnb tinyhouse rentals, with some planning. Can you guys bring out a line aimed at van lifers and tinyhousers? We have a built f550 to move our 5th wheeler tinyhouse from nooga, but we rarely move, only done 3 times ourselves. we use our rig with its dually config to haul, we will use for up coming sema auto show, which we use your 3000 unit for our airstream, and also on our toy hauler to aug onboard battleborn solar. We also use your 1500 units in our '19 and 20 Winnie Revels, for our 20 and 22 Storyteller classic, and upcoming BEAST MODE, we will be bringing your 6000 units in our vans for our drones, cameras, etc. And yes, numerous fridges for bacon, steaks, hot dogs, and precious ice cream hahaha. One of our sons lives on 40 acres up in Flagstaff, he forges edged tools from knives, to hawks, axes, and so on. Your guys 3000 unit powers his fridge, his tinyhouse lighting, in and outside, all the max air fans, his tvs, art displays, his mac, his cameras, his micro printing machine, and his fish tank hahaha. He is saving up for your 6000 unit for his van build, he will aug it with a 1500 for crit things iirc. Your 1500 powers his bluetooth speakers, his shop lighting, and shop drink cooler and fridge. Hahaha, jesus. 2 of his jackerys a 1000 and 1500 all NEW, have died, and not even a year, your 500 and 1000 units power his stuff for his koi pond, and also for his cat fish stock tanks, air, etc. You guys also power our daughters shop and her food truck. Her milwakuee tools to her nintendo switch, thank yall! Keep up the great work!
Do yo have a video on the solar panels to charge your goal zero? The panels are slow to charge and its a shame you can only input a max of 22v. Do enjoy my unit but it does have its limitations.
Great and informative video! Would love to see a Goal Zero Yeti Powers: "Job Site" Edition (What typed of things at an off grid construction job site could be powered and for how long - miter saw, table saw, recharging batteries for drills, reciprocating saws, etc.) Also thing Tyler Edwards' comment of a video showing how long different solar panels take to charge different power stations would be neat. Another Goal Zero Yeti Powers Edition that would be great is of course Camping (lanterns, grills, recharging devices, cameras, laptops, heaters [not super common but if you have a toddler and want them to sleep through the night soundly while camping hahaha a heater could be nice]
Thank you for your response. We'll be sure to add some of your suggestions in future videos. Our next video will more than likely be a camping scene so keep an eye out for that
Hey Neil, Why can't your production keep up with customer demand? Waiting 3 months for accessories? Most of them out of stock? 15 minutes on hold for "agents that are busy."
I need Goal Zero to step up and add a demonstration of HOW TO install their intergration kits and deep cell battery set ups. I just ordered the intergation panel and their four set of deep cell batteries to go with my Goal Zero Yeti 1400W I already own. I've had the 1400 since 2018. Use it primarily in summers for camping and running lights and fans to a covered 24 foot pation with no AC. Anyway I've been trying to buy these home back up parts to go with it for a year now but Covid hit and must have created a run on these items as even though GZ sends me emails advertising them I went and they were always out of stock until this past week. Ordred both. NOW how to install? Oh yes they do recommend you get an electrcian. We will but we also frome experience and knowing we live in rural area of the USA where it's 100 miles one way to nearest town of size Kalispell MT so 200 round trip we need to know everying in advance ourselves and have all items on hand prior to calling that electrcian for his legal input and labor. So many questions so many need to knows so little in their manuals. So kudo's to reviewers and customers who upon my asking if there is a way to power our WELL which turns out is 220 via the deep cell battery and goal zero 1400 they wrote back with this statement "It can be wired for 220v but you will need to replace the connector with a P6 30 amp" So thank you customer for sharing that information. GOAL ZERO WHERE ARE YOU. You ignored my question to you on this on line and your webpage. Acutally to be clear here I've asked several questions on line and YOU NEVER ANSWERED going back to 2018 and my first purchase of the GZ Yeti 1400. But after purchase I do have a phone # to call and a name of a rep who answers clearly and helped with a few issues that cropped up back then. BUT looks like I need to contact that REP again. I wrote down his number at the time and his extention and name so I can get to a real person fast when need be. But GZ please switch some of your HYPE advertisements towards actual SHOW AND TELL videos here on Amazon and across the board on your webpage too. REALLY we need it. I'm in my 70's a female and though hubby in his 80's is supportive of my hobbies and interests he can be caught off guard say when those four over 70 pound batteries showed up a few days ago. I felt so bad for him I did carry them down into the basement myself when he went for his daily 2 mile walk. He did his part by carrying in the last batter to the top of basement stairs due to it's damaged box and lost hand hold on one side. I then proceeded to get it down to join the others too. I'm 5'2 and yes in my 70's now. So not everyone HIP YOUNG thing is the person buying into the Solar and lithium back up scene. Goal ZERO we expect more and actually you need to STEP UP AND PROVIDE MORE. Thank you and everyone Stay Safe it's been a wicked ride this past year and it's still not quite over.
If it uses 700W constantly, yes. But for example a fridge is powering on and of all the time. So you can't really calculate the run time based of the maximum power draw of the fridge
Hi, You can find the price and specification on our Yeti 1400 on our website located here www.goalzero.com/shop/portable-power/goal-zero-yeti-1400-lithium-power-station-app/ As far as using third party panels, you'll want to call our solutions center team at 1-888-794-6250 with more specs on your panel to see if it's safe to use with our products and to see if we have any adapters for connecting it.
@@goalzero So if for example I permanently had my CPap connected and the Yeti plugged into the power outlet, would the Yeti automatically take over powering the Cpap machine in the case of the power going out? Powering my Cpap is my primary reason for wanting one but really I need it to automatically take over if the power was to go out while I was using it.
Hi Ryan, Thank you for your suggestion. Our Goal Zero Yeti's work really well with recharging batteries for cordless power tools. The awesome people at Homemade Modern use our Goal Zero Yeti's to recharge all their cordless Ryobi power tools for their various off grid projects. We'll be sure to showcase this in the near future.
The Yeti will be usless for a fridge because start up of a fridge is about 1400 watts when warm, even if you get it started it will use 300-500 to get the fridge cold, within a few hours your Yeti would be dead, now your fridge is going warm while you charge your Yeti for the next 20hrs. And you're back to square 1.
Hi Robert, Thank you for contacting Goal Zero. That will ultimately depend on how you use it, such as how many cycles you use on the battery, and how you maintain the battery.
@@goalzero I need to run my laptop, printer, tablet and cell...12 hours a day since I work from my RV. How will that effect use and maintenance? I'd charge it overnight in my daughter's garage.
Hi Camilo, Sorry to hear about the troubles you're experiencing. It's possible that your coffee maker goes beyond the AC output's capabilities of 120VAC 60Hz, 2.5A (300W continuous, 1200W surge max) by drawing too much power. We'd suggest contacting our solutions center team at 1-888-794-6250 Monday - Friday from 8am - 5pm MST to verify the specs of your coffee maker to see if it will function on your Yeti 400 or if you'd need to use a larger unit.
Camilo Pineda definitely used error and lack of info it's very important to know what you need so you can get what you need. Electric appliances use a lot of juice because something has to either cool or heat plus they all surge in power initially or when doing certain task.
I have the same instant pot and it overloads the 400. I love your products - spent two weeks with my 400 and the boulder panel in several national parks and it was awesome. But it seems misleading in the video that the 400 can handle the same appliances as the big one.
It really depends on the power consumption of your specific pressure washer. If you call our solutions center team with the make and model of your pressure washer they can see if the Goal Zero Yeti can handle the power draw from it.
Curious what your set up is now if you don't mind. Devices, how long of use/charging, how long before recharging? Using a Jackery/shore, yada yada? Thanks lol
So there is a big storm and a huge blackout ... panick everywhere ... but you are going to use your blender and your infotainement system ?? I think these examples are a bit ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I love Goal Zero and have some of their products, but your goal should be more off-grid living ...
Yes, well for me he missed the most important one to me at least and thats running my Cpap machine as I am unable to lie down and rest or sleep without it.
Well, for normal people living on the grid, there are advantages of not having a noisy, smelly, easily stolen machine outside when there are no lights in the neighborhood. It really can't compete with the dual-fuel generators that can quite easily power most of your house with a transfer switch. But the Yeti might get your frozen food through an outage and keep your sump pump running as well. You could go for a $20,000 Telsa Powerwall if you're drowning in cash.
What I'm seeing, is the Yeti 1400 lost a whopping 16% of its charge running a fridge light, and two coffee makers for only 10-20 seconds each. Because of the insignificant amount of time you used each item, it's not really what I'd qualify as a real test, and not convincing at all.
Why can't I charge my Suaoki power station with my new Goal Zero 100W. The Plug does not fit from the goal zero. I am buying the 500 goal zero power station.
Great 👍 solar generator Great idea goal zero yeti pro 4000 lithium phosphate battery please show on RUclips videos and goalzeroTANK PRO 4000 extra lithium phosphate smart battery
Hi Trish, Thank you for your comment. We did plug in his fridge to the Yeti 1400 on the counter. We simply rolled the fridge out and attached an extension cable to it because the cord wasn't long enough to reach the top of the counter. had the Yeti 1400 been on the floor next to the fridge the cable from the fridge would've reached the Yeti just fine to power from it.
I bought a Yeti 3000 after Hurricane Maria ravaged Puerto Rico. I decided to learn about NMC. They are really good. I cycle my Yeti between thirty five and seventy five percent. After three years and five months it still charges up to ninety percent. I am completely satisfied with the Yeti. I am excited to see the new Yeti 6000. I would buy it. Thanks GZ guys.

Nicely done. Great product.
If only the yeti could accept the treadmill charge :) great review
Question re Yeti 3000: so, if we have two refrigerator units (1@ 690 watts and 1 @ 368 watts = 1058 watts) can this 3000w handle that load?
Mannys World I would like to know that as well.
Yes.
I guess it can do at least 3000 watts, probably capable of more but after that amount you're pushing it

He is saving up for your 6000 unit for his van build, he will aug it with a 1500 for crit things iirc. Your 1500 powers his bluetooth speakers, his shop lighting, and shop drink cooler and fridge. Hahaha, jesus. 2 of his jackerys a 1000 and 1500 all NEW, have died, and not even a year, your 500 and 1000 units power his stuff for his koi pond, and also for his cat fish stock tanks, air, etc.
You guys also power our daughters shop and her food truck. Her milwakuee tools to her nintendo switch, thank yall!
Keep up the great work!
What about CPAP machines, also I have a hospital bed with an constant air mattress. what size will i need for those?
We recommend using at least the 500X and more powerful.
@@goalzero THANK YOU for your reply. I will look into it.
Do yo have a video on the solar panels to charge your goal zero? The panels are slow to charge and its a shame you can only input a max of 22v. Do enjoy my unit but it does have its limitations.
Is the 14 watts the power the inverter uses? It's funny that you're not explaining that.
Great and informative video! Would love to see a Goal Zero Yeti Powers: "Job Site" Edition (What typed of things at an off grid construction job site could be powered and for how long - miter saw, table saw, recharging batteries for drills, reciprocating saws, etc.)
Also thing Tyler Edwards' comment of a video showing how long different solar panels take to charge different power stations would be neat.
Another Goal Zero Yeti Powers Edition that would be great is of course Camping (lanterns, grills, recharging devices, cameras, laptops, heaters [not super common but if you have a toddler and want them to sleep through the night soundly while camping hahaha a heater could be nice]
Thank you for your response. We'll be sure to add some of your suggestions in future videos. Our next video will more than likely be a camping scene so keep an eye out for that
Do the math
Can you charge the Goal Zero 1250 (from the back) using an Alligator Clamp that comes with the Renogy 100 watt solar panel?
Hey Neil, Why can't your production keep up with customer demand? Waiting 3 months for accessories? Most of them out of stock? 15 minutes on hold for "agents that are busy."
Will the 3k yeti support commercial lighting for night work? About 2k watts hours for about 10 hrs.
No. I think the inverter supports up to 1.5kW. You need a battery with at least 20kWh of capacity to run your 2kW lights for 10 hours
Great video .... does it run while charging? .. if you have Solar Panels connected to it ..can it charge while being in use?
Hi,
Great question. You can definitely use our Goal Zero Yeti's the same time you're charging them via solar or the wall.
Why in Europe the Yeti costs double than in the US?? The price here is a crime! Showstopper.
VAT
Plus also maybe shipping costs (it is 47 kilos)? Though you wouldn't think shipping plus VAT would be double...
Shion Tanaka that is because of tariffs in your country
Go to pandu generator. Com cheapest price you'll ever fine.
I need Goal Zero to step up and add a demonstration of HOW TO install their intergration kits and deep cell battery set ups. I just ordered the intergation panel and their four set of deep cell batteries to go with my Goal Zero Yeti 1400W I already own. I've had the 1400 since 2018. Use it primarily in summers for camping and running lights and fans to a covered 24 foot pation with no AC. Anyway I've been trying to buy these home back up parts to go with it for a year now but Covid hit and must have created a run on these items as even though GZ sends me emails advertising them I went and they were always out of stock until this past week. Ordred both. NOW how to install? Oh yes they do recommend you get an electrcian. We will but we also frome experience and knowing we live in rural area of the USA where it's 100 miles one way to nearest town of size Kalispell MT so 200 round trip we need to know everying in advance ourselves and have all items on hand prior to calling that electrcian for his legal input and labor. So many questions so many need to knows so little in their manuals. So kudo's to reviewers and customers who upon my asking if there is a way to power our WELL which turns out is 220 via the deep cell battery and goal zero 1400 they wrote back with this statement "It can be wired for 220v but you will need to replace the connector with a P6 30 amp" So thank you customer for sharing that information. GOAL ZERO WHERE ARE YOU. You ignored my question to you on this on line and your webpage. Acutally to be clear here I've asked several questions on line and YOU NEVER ANSWERED going back to 2018 and my first purchase of the GZ Yeti 1400. But after purchase I do have a phone # to call and a name of a rep who answers clearly and helped with a few issues that cropped up back then. BUT looks like I need to contact that REP again. I wrote down his number at the time and his extention and name so I can get to a real person fast when need be. But GZ please switch some of your HYPE advertisements towards actual SHOW AND TELL videos here on Amazon and across the board on your webpage too. REALLY we need it. I'm in my 70's a female and though hubby in his 80's is supportive of my hobbies and interests he can be caught off guard say when those four over 70 pound batteries showed up a few days ago. I felt so bad for him I did carry them down into the basement myself when he went for his daily 2 mile walk. He did his part by carrying in the last batter to the top of basement stairs due to it's damaged box and lost hand hold on one side. I then proceeded to get it down to join the others too. I'm 5'2 and yes in my 70's now. So not everyone HIP YOUNG thing is the person buying into the Solar and lithium back up scene. Goal ZERO we expect more and actually you need to STEP UP AND PROVIDE MORE. Thank you and everyone Stay Safe it's been a wicked ride this past year and it's still not quite over.
Dos it have integrated inverter? Can I run AC or DC?
It runs both AC and DC
If something uses 700 watt/hr, wouldn't Yeti 1400 run the fridge for 2 hours (and not 2 days as he says)?
If it uses 700W constantly, yes. But for example a fridge is powering on and of all the time. So you can't really calculate the run time based of the maximum power draw of the fridge
Seems like it drains fast
Thanks this is really helpful information!
One thing you never talked about was the Battery Technology inside
Battery technology is maid in china . ANCIENT Chinese secret!
I love my Yeti 1400
Does anyone of theos comes with the solar panel? Or sold separately from Mattel?
many of them have the option of coming with solar.
how much is the yeti1400? and can I plug up my 100w solar panel?
Hi,
You can find the price and specification on our Yeti 1400 on our website located here www.goalzero.com/shop/portable-power/goal-zero-yeti-1400-lithium-power-station-app/
As far as using third party panels, you'll want to call our solutions center team at 1-888-794-6250 with more specs on your panel to see if it's safe to use with our products and to see if we have any adapters for connecting it.
Please simplify and make more sturdy the encasements. Lots of wear on those handles. Please make cars with solar elements.
Can I charge the Yeti and have outlets connected while in use ?
Hi,
You can definitely charge the Yeti at the same time you're using it.
@@goalzero So if for example I permanently had my CPap connected and the Yeti plugged into the power outlet, would the Yeti automatically take over powering the Cpap machine in the case of the power going out? Powering my Cpap is my primary reason for wanting one but really I need it to automatically take over if the power was to go out while I was using it.
will the Yeti 400 lithium power a coffee maker?? THx!
It powers my hotplate so I would guess it could power a standard drip coffee maker no problem. :-)
I would like to see you guys showcase how well the yeti works with cordless power tools to recharge batteries in off grid situations
Hi Ryan,
Thank you for your suggestion. Our Goal Zero Yeti's work really well with recharging batteries for cordless power tools. The awesome people at Homemade Modern use our Goal Zero Yeti's to recharge all their cordless Ryobi power tools for their various off grid projects. We'll be sure to showcase this in the near future.
great product
These units don't store power, they store energy. 400 Watt-hours of energy or 1,400 Watt-hours (1.4 kWh) of energy.
Isn't energy considered power 🤔
For how long will it run a tv and a playstation
Together
The Yeti will be usless for a fridge because start up of a fridge is about 1400 watts when warm, even if you get it started it will use 300-500 to get the fridge cold, within a few hours your Yeti would be dead, now your fridge is going warm while you charge your Yeti for the next 20hrs. And you're back to square 1.
Within 2 mins of the video the battery was already drained 20%
Wow! interesting. But how long is the lifetime of Goal Zero Battery?
Hi Robert,
Thank you for contacting Goal Zero. That will ultimately depend on how you use it, such as how many cycles you use on the battery, and how you maintain the battery.
@@goalzero I need to run my laptop, printer, tablet and cell...12 hours a day since I work from my RV. How will that effect use and maintenance? I'd charge it overnight in my daughter's garage.
goal zero yeti 6000x lithium portable power station test it out
U think its worth 5k?
I have a new lithium 400 and it says overload if I try to use my coffee maker or one pot ☹
Hi Camilo,
Sorry to hear about the troubles you're experiencing. It's possible that your coffee maker goes beyond the AC output's capabilities of 120VAC 60Hz, 2.5A (300W continuous, 1200W surge max) by drawing too much power. We'd suggest contacting our solutions center team at 1-888-794-6250 Monday - Friday from 8am - 5pm MST to verify the specs of your coffee maker to see if it will function on your Yeti 400 or if you'd need to use a larger unit.
Camilo Pineda definitely used error and lack of info it's very important to know what you need so you can get what you need. Electric appliances use a lot of juice because something has to either cool or heat plus they all surge in power initially or when doing certain task.
I have the same instant pot and it overloads the 400. I love your products - spent two weeks with my 400 and the boulder panel in several national parks and it was awesome. But it seems misleading in the video that the 400 can handle the same appliances as the big one.
I understand the high draw of electric heating elements.
Let them know
Thank you, you help me a lot!!!!
Can it run a pressure washer? Probably a stupid question
It really depends on the power consumption of your specific pressure washer. If you call our solutions center team with the make and model of your pressure washer they can see if the Goal Zero Yeti can handle the power draw from it.
Where is yeti 5000 or 10000?
$8000 dollars, 2 revisions, and trial and error of current products.
they just released a 6000 yeti. if it could take a 2000w solar array I could run my house.
@@magamike1800 there is know yeti 6000 or am I missing something???
@@Trillville43 yes I believe there is. I wonder how many watts of solar it can take.
Can I have one I live in my van and do reviews for yall all the time I work a lot as well a d this would help me a lot
Curious what your set up is now if you don't mind. Devices, how long of use/charging, how long before recharging? Using a Jackery/shore, yada yada? Thanks lol
how about a blow dryer?
How about blow dryer for hair?
see my video on blow dryer on yeti 1000
@@EvenaGirlCanDoIt Thank you, I just watched it and gave it a thumb up. I subbed your channel too.
@@Maggie-Gardener-Maker Thank you. I have a lot more videos but I'm not good at producing them and not ready for the camera in my face. LOL
@@EvenaGirlCanDoIt I can relate to that camera in face thing. Yes I saw lots of videos and why I subbed. I will definitely watch them over time.
Started from 96% to 89% within under a minute with the fridge
So uh.... you ever tested these things against an EMP?
Do one for emergency comms the armature radio community
So there is a big storm and a huge blackout ... panick everywhere ... but you are going to use your blender and your infotainement system ?? I think these examples are a bit ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I love Goal Zero and have some of their products, but your goal should be more off-grid living ...
Yes, well for me he missed the most important one to me at least and thats running my Cpap machine as I am unable to lie down and rest or sleep without it.
Well, for normal people living on the grid, there are advantages of not having a noisy, smelly, easily stolen machine outside when there are no lights in the neighborhood. It really can't compete with the dual-fuel generators that can quite easily power most of your house with a transfer switch. But the Yeti might get your frozen food through an outage and keep your sump pump running as well. You could go for a $20,000 Telsa Powerwall if you're drowning in cash.
The big one went from 96% to 78% in just half the video.
That man definitely seems like he is struggling to carry that Yeti and not show it.
What I'm seeing, is the Yeti 1400 lost a whopping 16% of its charge running a fridge light, and two coffee makers for only 10-20 seconds each. Because of the insignificant amount of time you used each item, it's not really what I'd qualify as a real test, and not convincing at all.
Why can't I charge my Suaoki power station with my new
Goal Zero 100W. The
Plug does not fit from the goal zero. I am buying the 500 goal zero power station.
Garage doors!
Great 👍 solar generator
Great idea goal zero yeti pro 4000 lithium phosphate battery please show on RUclips videos and goalzeroTANK PRO 4000 extra lithium phosphate smart battery
Oh…hey..
I don't trust all of his cords and plugs. There's no way he pulled out that frig to get the cord out and its laying on the counter,
Hi Trish,
Thank you for your comment. We did plug in his fridge to the Yeti 1400 on the counter. We simply rolled the fridge out and attached an extension cable to it because the cord wasn't long enough to reach the top of the counter. had the Yeti 1400 been on the floor next to the fridge the cable from the fridge would've reached the Yeti just fine to power from it.
I have a yeti 1000 and it powers my large residential fridge just fine.
