Awesome. Had a 1250 and got a 1000x. More than enough power and the weight difference has been a huge added bonus. went with the Open Box option and saved a lot. Like brand new
ordered and recieved yeti1000 core and a boulder package of 2 100w panels. have charged unit using home power, haven't hooked up the panels yet, but that seems strait forward. this set up is for an off grid camp, a primitive cabin in adirondacks. this should power some lights and a small radio, recharge the phone and tablet. no internet or wi-fi available in the area, but we are planing to power an antenna and wi-fi modem for the cell phone, as needed. unit it nice, solid, and when it is 9 or 10 months old, has been moved back and forth from home to camp, drained and recharged, etc... and if it is still humming along, 4 stars go to 5. boulder package came with a 12 ga wire high power cable, i missed that in description ( if it was even there) and wound up buying a 30' cable, that is 8mm 16ga. didnt need it, glad because 16 ga. is a 25% power drop. will keep it for a back up. will probably get 2 more 100w panels when funds allow. would reccommend a 1000 'X' for the expansion capability, i personally will not need that. bought some lighting as well - love it.
I run a food cart and use this to power my mobile refrigerator I can run the fridge four hours and not even use 20% while keeping my P OS and cell phone charged.
When I hook up the solar panel on a sunny day it uses no battery reserve at all to run my fridge..
This is giving me the power to consider expanding my offering to maybe even including ice cream
My Son is an insulin dependent diabetic. We have to have a way to keep a fridge going should there be any type of power outage and the Yeti 1000 core and the Boulder 100 solar generator is a great solution. It is stored in a Faraday Bag also from Goal Zero. Also if you are wondering, the customer service with this company is outstanding.
We participated in the Portland, OR Christmas Ships parade for the first time this year. We bought the Yeti 1000 Core to power our light display. It handles it with plenty of watts to spare. We have both USB powered and AC powered lights strings. Being able to use the inverter AC power and DC power at the same time is pretty cool. Our current light display only consumed about 10% of the battery over the 3 hour parade. After the holidays, we will use it as short term emergency power to run our WIFI and a few lights for a few hours. Great little box!
The Yeti charged as expected and has held the charge. I have not yet used the power station to power anything.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This battery came in my Scout yoho camper. I have had to get it replaced 2 times in the first year. It also does not function well in the cold which sucks for a 4 season camper. They do not have battery blankets or cooler options yet. Looking forward to trying another brand like Bluetti
