We bought one of these and like the portability so much that we bought another on the open box deal. We now have these two and two larger power stations. Using them every day to save on sky rocketing utility bills. And they will be good for camping and power failures in an emergency. Wonderful pieces of equipment!

I bought this in preparation for a backwoods camp trip. Before I could use it in that capacity, a major storm left me without power more than 4 days. With my yeti, I had my phone, internet, lights and even hot coffee. So glad I have this.

When you need a portable solution for a car evacuation or sheltering in place. The Solar panel is not optimal for weight, but it is excellent value. Bought a second panel and a 12 volt cigarette charger and now feel that I am on the way to an affordable excellent emergency portable solution for California weather hazards.. Don’t forget the 15’ foot 8 mm extension. Not a solution for family home refrigeration but definitely for CPAP users.

I was just telling my husband that since I’ve been preparing for bad wx and power outages, we haven’t lost power. Few days later we had a hail ice storm with nasty winds knocking out power and damaging property. Was great having our new yeti 500x. Thanks again for another wonderful product that keeps us safe.

Bought for camping, but am done camping for season. Am running small household items on it and am pleased with its working. Recharges very quickly off household current. Also bought Nomad 100 to solar charge, but won’t use that until next year. Excellent value for price.

I just used my Yeti500X for the first time during a week long car camping trip. It stayed charged up just after fulling charging at home and then keeping it charged with the car charging cord and then on site with the solar panel. Mostly used for phone, iPad and heated sleeping pad for a few hours each night. Very pleased with this little power house.

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.
