I have owned my Yeti 500X for 2 years. I have tried several other brands of power stations and each one has some limitations which I have yet to find in the 500x after multiple camping seasons. Most power stations will shut off when they have a low energy draw. I use this for My CPAP machine and when it's running, it would never pull enough to keep the other power stations from turning off forcing me to reset the power station multiple times per night. I have had ZERO issues with the 500x doing this. I can run my CPAP for 2 nights with no problem. The other feature that most do not have is you are not able to charge them while in use. I connect a 100-watt solar panel to the 500x and while it is charging I also use it to charge my phones and tablets. While there is a bit of a cost difference between Goal Zero and other brands, the added cost is worth the features you get. 10000% recommended. I will be adding a Yeti 700 here soon to add power to my overland van build.

This unit squeals while it’s charging and does not charge effectively much of the time. I’m pretty disappointed that I spent so much on something that isn’t what I wanted at all.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello,
We are sorry to hear about the issue you are having with your 500x. Do you have any solar panels to charge the Yeti? Wondering if the power supply might be the culprit. Please reach out to our Solutions Center with your proof of purchase. Our team will look into what warranty options are available. Thank you.

I bought this as an additional battery to run our camping fridge. It came in a regular. Goal zero packaging was present. All was as if it were new.

Camping used to be guaranteed to mean bad sleep, headaches, and snoring to possibly attract Bigfoot. This powered my CPAP for 2 full nights of sleep and still had 10% of its battery left. I’m excited to take some more trips in the pop-up. It aint cheep, but it is worth it.

I bought this to remotely recharge my mountain bike (Specialized Turbo). I can get multiple charges going from 25% to 90% in a few hours. Easy to operate. No problems at all.
