Up to 6 solar panels can be hooked up to it!
I've had the Yeti 1400 for a few months now. I went on a bunch of camping trips with it to power a thermoelectric cooler, microwave oven, laptops, cell phone, battery packs, cordless vacuum cleaner and a USB fan. It has worked out great! This unit allows up to 520 Watts total of electrical input (up to 360W through the Anderson Pole (AP) port and up to 160W through the 8mm ports). I have 6x Boulder 100 Briefcase solar panels hooked up to it.....4 panels hooked up through the AP port using the 4x 8mm Combiner to Anderson Connector and 2 panels hooked up through the two 8mm ports. Great for quickly recharging the battery and/or for powering some devices off solar alone. Also great for getting as much power as possible on those cloudy, overcast days when the light is not as bright. My only complaint would be the fact that they went with a PWM solar controller. It should have come with a MPPT solar controller like the Yeti 1250 has. Having an MPPT controller would allow much more potential power to come from my solar panels (for faster charging) than PWM allows. I know they did it to help keep the price of the Yeti 1400 as low as possible, but in this day and age MMPT controllers should be standard....especially on their flagship solar power stations. It's because of this.... and ONLY this..... that I'm giving it 4 stars. Otherwise it would be 5 stars. Goal Zero has said that by the end of the year they will make an MPPT solar controller available for the Yeti 1400 as an expansion module to plug into the expansion port. I will be getting it for sure!
Confidence in an extended power outage
I bought this about a month ago. I already own the Yeti150 and Yeti400, but neither really can get you through an extended outage, but this sure can. I got a few HQST, Renogy and Grape Solar panels on Amazon (the Goal Zero panels are ridiculously overpriced), so with 400+ watts to help recharge, even in the rain this can manage. I was able to use it (for fun really, just to test) with a 900 watt leaf blower and the Yeti performed perfectly. We live in the mountains and outages are frequent enough, and I have no interest at all in noisy, smelly gas generators. The Yeti1400 is definitely very pricey but it also loaded with pretty awesome features.
Works just as promised.
While I intend on using the Yeti 1400 for a myriad of small electronics, I'm currently using it to power my office equipment. Laptop, 20" monitor, 10key calculator, and skype phone. It works great. I was surprised that it charged so quickly from the wall when I first got it. I'll have to update my review once I get my 100 watt solar panel hooked up. It's a Renogy panel and I didn't realize I needed an adapter. Instruction booklet is short and an easy read. I would like to purchase another yeti 1400 down the road once the cable is made to make them chainable. I recommend it and would get the goal zero panel for easy solar set up.
Well thought out unit. Could use improvements
Nice well thought out unit. Appears to be solid, and well built. Especially to be made in China. The charger that comes with it if very low wattage. Puts in like 67 watts. Takes forever and a day to charge. The solar inputs are weak. The 8mm connection can't take alot of amps coming in. Solar panel wiring is only 16 ga. Keep that in mind if your planning on long runs. I have 2 boulder 100 suitcase panels, and I can feel heat, not excessive, but still warmth on the solar input connection. Utilizing the Power Pole connections is a must if you want to put in max wattage for charging. But other than that the unit is awesome.
Yeti 1400 great buy
I hooked up my garage refrigerator to my new yeti 1400 and it work great. The refrigerator only pulled a few watts even on highest settings with the doors open. I had to add a toaster to it to pull more watts ( the toaster pulled a lot) I only lost 1 watt . I then hooked the Boulder 100 to it and I drawer about 58 watts. In theory I could run my garage refrigerator indefinitely because I was pulling in more watts than using without a drop of fuel. GREAT product more expensive but it plug and go. Worth it.
Premium price tag but moody and dysfunctional
At first, I was in love. The Yeti 1400 stood tall on my camping trips, humming quietly while charging phones, fridges, dreams. But then... it got moody. It started ghosting me — literally. One day it worked, the next it just blinked at me and shut down. Like an emotionally unavailable ex, it would randomly come back to life, whisper "three high-pitched beeps", and then go dark again. I tried everything: soft resets, unplugging cables, motivational speeches. Nothing helped. Eventually, it became clear: this power station had trust issues. You never know when it's working, and just when you think it's fine — bam — dead screen, no output, and 12.4V of pure disappointment. If you're into unreliable relationships with your gear, this is the soulmate for you. Unfortunately, it turned out that GoalZero support behaves in the same fashion.
It Does What It Says
Purchased post-Irma. Performed my own tests to prepare for the next storm. Plugged in my 22 cu ft energy star refrigerator. It gave me almost 23 hours, with normal use of the fridge. It provided 90% of the 1400 W-H. I found the display very useful. Charged it back up, and then sequentially tested small appliances. Most importantly, I can brew my morning coffee, use a floor fan for sleeping, and use an LED lamp for reading for almost 3 days.
WARNING!
Just a warning, this unit is not silent like the 1250. Its quite but has 4 fans that kick on when using the a/c output. Cant say its false advertising but there is a lack of information about that on this page. Several other lithium solar generators on the market for years and I expected the wait for goal zero's to come with true silent operation. I also have a 1250 and a Enerplex Y1200(same features and portability but at a fraction of the price)
Dead on arrival. Power adapter almost caught fire.
Superior customer service and amazing innovation that I believe in. I will be giving them another chance if all goes well with the replacement. For a unit this expensive I expect some quality control processes AS IN making sure a unit turns on first. I hope to be able to change this review.
Yeti 1400
I bought the Yeti 1250 and it works great. I also bought the Yeti 1400 just last month and I think it will work well for my needs. I really like the fact that Goal Zero also provided a Lithium unit. Very smart. I would recommend either to anyone.
