It's lighter, and smaller than the one a step cheaper. I have both yeti 150 and yeti 200X. I'm keeping both of them forever... I only keep one loaded on me, and they both fit into my hiking backpack. Only thing I miss is the auto turn off feature my other generator had when nothing was plugged in long enough. Would do it again if I went back in time.
Well, it doesn’t work very well. I plug it in to charge it and it doesn’t charge. The helpful folks at Cole zero suggested that I press a couple buttons together to reset it. This didn’t work either. The form factor is nice. I like the handle on the top. However, at the end of the day it’s not of much use as it doesn’t do what it is supposed to do.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent build quality and functional

I have owned a Yeti 1000 for a year and a half. I use it to power my refrigerator during power outages. Knowing the quality of Goal Zero I wanted to purchase and try the new 200X for a car camping trip to power my ResMed AirMini CPAP machine and to power my instant hot water heater.
So after using it to power the water pump and the CPAP I had 51% power left. Enough power for two full days before I had to recharge the unit. I brought a Yamaha 2000 with me so charging was not an issue. One thing that GZ states is that using a 45W USB C charger will charge the unit from dead to full in two hours. I tested that myself and it charged the unit from dead in 3.6 hours.
Worked great in the beginning, but the charge now drops really quickly. I used it consistently while over-landing for about a month. I recently used it and the battery charged dropped significantly faster than when i first started using it. Worked great in the beginning, but not super confident about its long term usage…

Versatile, lightweight and portable

I purchased my Yeti 200x when it was first released and it has been my workhorse for portable power ever since. I keep it in my home office to charge all of my regular electronics on a daily basis, but it is always ready to go outside for camping and travel. Most importantly, I have it ready to work on cars or shop work, providing lighting and portable power. Combine the 200x with a Dremel tool and you have an awesome setup that you can take anywhere. The low battery protection has saved me twice from draining to an unsafe level after hours of heavy use. I have charged the 200x using the power supply, the Yeti 12 volt car charging cable, Nomad 20 panel, and Boulder 50 and 100
