Goal Zero Yeti 1000 Core Portable Power Station, Solar Generator Charging Station Box, 1000Wh Indoor and Outdoor Power for Camping, RVing, Tailgating,…

Seems like a pretty good gizmo. I gave it 4 stars since i really have no reference to compare this product type to. Used it camping one time so far, charged cell phones and brewed coffee with a conventional at home coffee maker, it handled the 800 watt power from the coffee maker no problem. Charged it with solar panels during the day which gave us more than enough power for the weekend.

Great product, ready to go with me anytime. Clamping has a Hilton feel.

It comes with only a charging cord to plug into the wall and no charger cord to hook up to your car.

I bought the Goal-Zero Yeti 1000 in 2017 for emergency power. Other than take it a couple of time to test charge it by solar panels, it sat in my office plugged into a 110v outlet charging my small battery backup that I use for my iPad. One day (2021) I noticed that my battery backup was not charged. When I looked at the yeti 1000, it was completely dead. After conferring with the Goal-Zero support team, I performed both soft and hard resets to no avail. I later found out that once a lithium battery discharges to zero, it cannot be brought back to life. Also, the battery is not replaceable on the Yeti 1000. Bottom line, the unit went bad just sitting in my office wait for the day it would be needed. Not very reliable.
