Made camping possible for CPAP user!
So very pleased with this purchase. I was looking for a power source that would enable CPAP use *with humidifier* at high settings, and the Yeti 1000 did not disappoint. Most of the smaller portable power sources (including the Goal Zero 400) would not have performed as well, as evidenced by a plethora of reviews and seller’s product information sites suggesting CPAP users turn off humidification because it draws too much power, especially on AC. So, on the advice of online sources, I acquired a DC cord for my Respironics System One CPAP unit to bypass the inverter and save a few watts. However, I saw very little difference in the power draw by using the CPAP with DC or AC, and both were drawing FAR less power than what the manufacturer or others have said they would. The CPAP was rated to draw 80W/H on DC, but was drawing <40W--often <20W per the Yeti information screen. These were the sort of numbers I would expect if the humidification was turned off, but I was using mine at full blast. The first night camping, I used the DC cord with my CPAP + humidification, and the Yeti 1000 at 100% charge. Seven hours later, the Yeti was at 93% charge. I was able to recharge it with a 100W solar panel, drawing in about 40-60W variably, by about 10:00 on a fairly sunny/intermittently cloudy day. Given these specs, me and my camping partner (also a CPAP user) decided to put the Yeti to a more rigorous test. So, we plugged in BOTH of our CPAPs, mine to DC, hers to AC, both with humidifiers on (5/5 and 3/5 settings, respectively). She also plugged in her 90% depleted cell phone. Six hours later, the Yeti was at 83% charge! It was fully recharged by noon on the solar panel at variable input (max 61W), on a very clear and sunny day. It's evident that solar recharging makes the Yeti an even more versatile source of power, and I would not consider using any portable power source without the ability to recharge it onsite. This is especially true in Arizona, where your chances of a clear, sunny day are pretty consistent. But it is also true that CPAP + humidifier users could easily get several days of use from a fully charged Yeti 1000 without recharging. I am one happy camper! Pros: 1) Absolutely does what it should in terms of powering a CPAP machine. With a 1500W continuous/3000W surge inverter, it should also be capable of doing much more than what I needed or tested for. YMMV. Definitely superior to ANY 400-500W or smaller device, except in weight and possibly life cycle of battery. 2) Charges fast on solar panel(s). Thankfully, it has an APP port in addition to the proprietary 8mm input port, so third party panel usage is possible. If the output cables on your solar panel are already in APP format or you are using Goal Zero panels, you're good to go. If not, see #3 of "cons" below. 3) Cool looking, aesthetically pleasing. Arrangement of ports pretty well-designed. Cons: 1) Weight is significant: 40+ pounds for the Yeti 1000. It is "portable" in the manner of car-camping or home use. 2) The battery is not a LiFePO4 lithium version, so it's heavier, less power-dense, has a shorter life-cycle, and has all the potential safety hazards associated with lithium ion batteries. 3) Goal Zero solar panels are way, WAY overpriced and offer NO performance benefit over many cheaper ones. Use of third party solar panels is absolutely possible, but will entail the purchase of one or more adapter cord/plug accessories, some of which Goal Zero and REI do not even offer. There ARE solutions and they aren't even too expensive, but they will need to be carefully researched for compatibility. Amazon is your friend here.
Made camping easier! Plenty of juice!
I used the Yeti 1000 to power my Dometic CFX40 and chargethe iPhone, watch and LED lights! It was used for 3 days straight and still had 50% left! I was able to charge it with 3 50 watt solar panels! The setup worked great! Only thing negative is that the AC power supply really gets very hot while charging, I mean very hot!
Poor Build Quality
Picked up today from my local REI store. Read the manual, plugged it in. As I was familiarizing myself with interface and controls, I pressed the “light” button in and — poof — it disappeared behind the front panel. The front panel that covers the inputs and outputs is very flimsy. This, too, probably is part of the issue. I expected a well built, well tested, and thoroughly inspected, solid unit ready for my next overland excursion (which begins in three days). Wishful thinking. It gets returned to REI tomorrow:(
A Godsend During Oct 2019 California Outage
This power station with Goal Zero 100 folding solar panels ran my Alpicool C15 camping refrigerator/freezer at 4° centigrade for four days during a power outage, even on days when the smoke was so thick we couldn’t see across San Francisco Bay. The power station would be drained by the fridge about 20% at the end of every night and would recharge fully by early to mid afternoon every day.
does everything i need it to do
i've been testing the 1000 at home for several weeks before taking it on the road. no issues at all! it powers a 12v fridge (with regulator cable), phones, water pump, and re-charges a bunch of USB products. i have the 25amp charger and that speeds up charge times a lot. the car charger gives me about 120 watts while driving. the control screen gives all the info you need with several display options, which is great. from testing this will give me 2-3 days of power if i'm not hooked up to solar (i have 300 watts) or charging via other options. plenty for my needs. the 1000 is a great option and GZ customer service is fabulous!!!
1000 watt battery with 50 watt solar panel
I have yet to hook this up to a manual switch. But the 1000 watt seems to be working great. Hooked up a 50 watt goal zero solar panel to it and at 10:30am it was producing 21 watts of energy! Can't wait to see what it produces this afternoon!
2 units later and I am giving up
I have been excited about the yeti for many years because I thought it would be a great way to power a tiny cabin. I purchased one in April for just that purpose. Immediately I noticed that the unit did not always charge even when there was sun on the panels. I talked with a technical support person and we did a few tests. For instance, I plugged it into an inverter in my car and it would not charge (this ruled out the panels) so they sent me a new one. This time it seemed a little better, although I could only get a charge when the panels were in full direct sun. If it was filtered at all through some trea branches for instance I got nothing. In the end I chalked it up to line resistance and resolved to build a stand where the panels could get the most sun throughout the day. Then I returned home with the unit and, like they recommend, left it plugged into the wall waiting for the next trip to the cabin. Now, I see that inspire of being plugged in, the unit is down to 95% and is not charging at all. So much for reliability. The only bright spot is that I Purchased it at REI and they will take it back. I cannot in good faith recommend this product.
Works with Home Integration too!
I installed this with the Home Integration Kit and it's amazing! My main goal was to keep my fridge powered through a 8-10 hour black out. I was concerned the YETI 1000 wouldn't be enough, but it's MORE than enough! In a fridge cycle, it doesn't always use the compressor, and cycles. So I connected more circuits in my house (my office with WIFI, my garage door, random other rooms). Highly recommend!!
Not ready for priime time yet
We purchased the Yeti 1000 for our overlanding trailer and needed it for our Dometic refrig/freezer, lights etc. The Yeti did not run our refrig unit on the 12vdc at all, only on the AC outlet which consumes much more power. Where we were planning on 48-60 hrs between charges we are only getting 24-30. We have the Boulder 200 briefcase panels but that ties us to camp while it's charging. Should have got gas generator and just let it run all night.
Not rugged enough for intended uses
Pros: Well isolated from ground, elegant layout and design; 1500 watt continuous output supports washer and gas dryer with spin cycle or one fridge or one small microwave or an entertainment center or a house fan or a small window air conditioner; handles are sturdy and weight is light enough for a strong person to carry with one hand. Cons: Power supply on mine got very hot, enough for me to suspect an internal short (returned it); shipping through FedEx took THREE attempts to get it and TWO attempts to return due to local FedEx Baltimore misunderstanding of Li-Ion hazmat regulations; overall build quality is not as good as a generator and not particularly weatherproof- I do not trust this to be bumping around a work truck fully charged; Li-Ion cannot charge in winter unless kept indoors; watt-hour capacity and inverter output, although impressive, cannot support an entire homestead without purchasing multiple units with solar array divided up accordingly; AC charger only outputs 60 watts (do the math)- additional AC chargers may be tandem'd up, but that's just a weird workaround IMO; MPPT option does not allow for an array voltage in the order of hundreds of volts- I suspect the MPPT option is not much better than on-board PWM.
