Bigger is definitely better
When it comes to power, bigger is definitely better. I have loved Goal Zero products for years, and prior to this purchase I had 6 other products of theirs. I am so excited to unbox this and start using it. The stats on this unit is mind blowing and while I have used other Portable power stations in the past, it's the Goal zero units that I have that I've had the best experience. Plus the new chemistry the batteries are using is what I'm most excited to have, stable and longevity.
Power for days!
Awesome partnership of Yeti Pro and 2 tanks for 12kwh, enough power for days! Paired it with the Haven 10 to backup our most-used circuits. The power station is seriously robust, putting up with plenty of bumps and knocks in our garage, even when the doors get ripped off they pop right back on. Easy to use, our boys have quickly learned how to charge everything in our house from it, including the skylight and their favorite lighthouse core mini. Love saving my spare solar energy, and the pleasure of switching circuits over in the evening to use that energy reducing my power bill.
A game changer
I bought my Yeti Pro 4000 a month ago to replace my Yeti 3000X that I had been using for years for my home as a back up solution, and camping. The new Pro 4000 is a huge upgrade from my previous set up with faster charging times, better design, features, ports etc... and it also looks super cool in my garage! It took it camping in southern Utah 2 weekends ago to test my new toy, and it was unbelievably powerful! I was able to have my first raclette in a camping set up while powering all my lights, my fridge etc... in pretty cold weather conditions for the season. Loved it! It is heavier than the 3000X but it is definitely worth the "weight"!
Reliability questionable. No 220v plan.
My first yeti 4000 didn’t work the first time I lost power and really needed it. I’m hoping this one works when needed. I am disappointed to hear they are no longer planning to release a 220v kit that could run a well pump. This was advertised directly in the marketing release videos of the product which I why choose this ecosystem.
Good Idea, Poor Execution
Man, the concept is great. We were so excited we also bought the Haven 10 and wired it into our power panel. But the Yeti Pro 4000 is still riddled with bugs. We have observed: -- Every few days it randomly shuts off the AC output - with no notifications -- It loses track of its state of charge, for example displaying that it is at 80% when in fact it is close to empty -- It has a lot of phantom drain. In the past 24 hours I've watched the SOC drop from 85% to 60% when the only device connected to it was drawing 8 watts Goal Zero needs to develop better firmware for this device. I wanted to use this to back up my home network and freezers but at this point I just can't take the risk. It's not giving us much value.
Goal Zero's long-awaited, triumphant return to top
MODULAR, SCALABLE POWER Goal Zero had long been considered one of the top power station makers in the World, and wowed buyers, communities, and businesses with the announcement of the Yeti X line in late 2020. The flagship Yeti 6000X provided unparalleled power in a relatively small package that capably kept home circuits, work sites, RVs, trailers, and campers running reliably and safely for extended periods of time. However, over the past 2 years, competitors had released new products that increasingly made the Yeti X series seem comparably old and outdated. When Goal Zero (GZ) announced its Yeti Pro 4000 and Haven Home Backup system in October 2023, I was beyond excited because the company had finally created an updated ecosystem of products capable of meeting or exceeding those of the other well-known brands: EcoFlow, Jackery, and Bluetti. This led me to the recent procurement and review of the Yeti Pro 4000 and its Tank Pro 4000 expansion battery. Those who had been following my reviews know that I am a backup battery enthusiast that many friends, families, colleagues, and strangers often come to for advice and recommendations. What started as a curiosity with bringing solar-rechargeable power to camping trips, obsessing over portable car refrigerators, and area lighting, our outdoor adventures had not been the same since – for better or worse. HOME BATTERY BACKUP In addition to looking at the new GZ Yeti Pro 4000, I had been contemplating about adding a battery backup to our home after a utility blackout last year almost caused our freezer and refrigerator to lose a countless amount of food and necessary medication that one of our children depended on. Luckily, I had several batteries and solar panels available to keep both appliances going, but that weeklong outage in the summer heat had me rethink our power strategy. For those who did not know, a home with solar panels mounted on the roof would NOT provide electricity in the event of a blackout unless a battery storage (think Tesla’s Powerwall) was available to feed from. My home backup choices came down to three brands: Goal Zero, EcoFlow, or Bluetti. Goal Zero had been known for its long track record in safety and reliability as the leader of the industry. EcoFlow (EF) was an up-and-coming star for its surprise engineering chops that left GZ in the dust with the release of its Delta Pro I reviewed 2 years ago. Bluetti was the little player with more affordable prices. Only GZ and EF had a circuit transfer switch available, and the decision narrowed to those two. (Note: At the time, Jackery did not yet have a home backup system available, and EF did not debut its Delta Pro Ultra and Smart Home Panel 2 until CES 2024.) Here is why I ultimately chose Goal Zero to provide battery backup for our house: - Brand recognition - Reliability - Safety - Modular system - Heavy-duty, quality materials - US-based company I look forwarding to installing GZ’s Haven 10 Home Backup later this year. IN A NUTSHELL Goal Zero's Yeti Pro 4000 is the company’s new flagship power station that received a makeover both externally and internally. Of particular interest is the new battery chemistry: Lithium-ion LiFePO4 that promises over 10 years of DAILY use. The company had long resisted switching from the more compact, lighter Li-ion NMC found in its Yeti X series, but I am glad they finally did! NOTE: Due to heavy workload, I will update this with a much more detailed review later (sometime in May/June). From initial impression, I really LOVE this new power station. Li-ion: LiFePO4 vs NMC There had been a lot of debate over whether Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) or Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) was better. Both are Lithium-ion batteries. Goal Zero, Jackery, and most of today’s power station manufacturers use NMC, but why did EcoFlow, Bluetti, and now Goal Zero and Jackery use LiFePO4 when they are bulkier and heavier? There are important distinctions, but the best battery is the one that meets all or most of your unique needs. Charge Cycles One of the most significant differences — and buying factors — is the charge cycle count for both battery chemistries. It measures how long the battery can be used for before it must be replaced or thrown away. LiFePO4’s count is as high as 4,000 cycles (as of 2023) whereas NMC is 500+. However, both have a useful life that can range between 3,000 – 5,000 cycles (even as much as 7,000 with proper care). But how does the count determine longevity? Let’s look at Li-ion NMC as an example. It loses about 20-25% of total capacity after every 500 charge cycle. That means after the first 500 cycles, the battery drops 20% from when it was new, then another 20% after the next 500 cycles, and 20% again after that one. It would take roughly 1,500 charging cycles to have the battery last only half as long as when it was brand-new. Thus, it should be usable for 2,000+ cycles or about 6-10 years. Li-ion LiFePO4 can last longer. CAUTION: Lithium-ion (LiFePO4 and NMC) batteries do NOT like to remain discharged at 0% for prolonged periods of time. If you let your battery stay at 0% for too long, you may not be able to charge it again without specialized equipment. Keep them at between 20-80% while in storage to maximize their lifetime. LiFePO4 Advantages - Safer, less volatile, and thus cheaper to manufacture - Higher charge cycle: 1500-2000 (10+ years). NMC: 500+ (6-10 years) - Usable in more extreme temperatures (-4F/-20C to 176F/80C). NMC: only 140F/60C max - Holds 350-day charge. NMC: 300 NMC Advantages - Smaller and lighter. Allows for more portable products - Faster charging
Powerful!
I've been using the Yeti PRO 4000 with an extra battery as a home backup primarily for a large refrigerator and full-size upright freezer. I have both plugged in and the battery plugged into the wall so if power goes out, the fridge and freezer can pull from the battery. I tested it out by unplugging it and letting the fridge and freezer run. It was able to handle the output required when the motors on both appliances were running. It was able to run both for more than 2 days.
A Huge Upgrade From The 3000X!
As a long time user of Goal Zero Power Stations, this product is a huge improvement from previous models. Charging this huge battery from the wall in just a few hours is so much more convienient than the old power supplies. I also love the APS feature that allows you to use the product as a UPS. This is really convienient for home backup where you can just leave a few critical circuits passing through the Yeti so they will be powererd up immediaty in the event of an outage. I could go on and on, but almost every key feature of this new product has seen a massive improvement; from the 3600W inverter to the 3000W of solar input as well as the 100W USB-C, these advancements not only outpace the previous generation but also position it competitively against other offerings in the market. This is a great new product!
it's awesome
The only issue is it's a bit bulky and doesn't have a good way to move it outdoors, but I'm going to buy a folding hand truck dolly to transport it and remove the cart it comes with. But it is amazing that you can charge it most of the way in 2 hours and I love having it in my van now. i just went on a camping trip where I powered an electric blanket (100w) for 2 nights and still have 70% charge left. :)
Expensive headache
I have problems with one of my pro 4000s. The charging switch is broken and will not charge at low setting. The wi-fi quit working so I can't use it with the App. The display is poor so you can't see the decimal point. I have to reset it often or it gets stuck at 100%. It's now making a chirping sound when charging. It's intermittent.
