Received less than a month ago and already a brick. Worked fine for less than a week before it just shut off. The solution was to plug in the stock charger and the 60W PD in port and let it trickle charge for 24hrs. It would turn on and charged to 100%, but as soon as you unplug the PD port it shuts off. Will charge other devices from 12v port and 120v port but PD has to be plugged in.
Dead and bricked after 3 years! Had some light use during 2020 and 2021 camping trips. Some use around the house for BBQs. Unfortunately after about a year with no use it just died. Unfortunately out of warranty and GZ cannot help repair or replace. Given the price tag of the 1500x, wish GZ would stand behind their product and offer a solution. GZ did offer a discount but not worth it in my opinion. Disappointed.
Failed 120v inverter just outside of warranty with light load and use. No servicing options. Left with a doorstop or paperweight unless I can find a use for 1500 watts of USB power. Dissatisfied is an understatement. My other units have performed ok but I cannot recommend this based on my experience.
I purchased the 1500X to add to my power arsenal for camping and power outages. I am always impressed with the wifi capabilities, the power it provides, and ease of use. This does it all! Plus, fellow campers get a little jealous over our camping setup due to the amenities powered by our Goal Zero lineup.
I bought this in late March for off-grid power to my Hiker trailer & I made the right choice! Easy enough for me to lift and move if needed. Connects easily to my mounted solar panel Powering the Max fan, interior lights, recharge devices- I don’t have a fridg on it yet- but believe it will handle well. Glad I went with the 1500x instead of the 1000 for future power needs. Good investment!
I have spent the last three weeks on the road using my 1500X. When I didn’t have my small 12v cooler plugged into the van I used the 1500 at night. Lost 50% of charge during the night. But when I used a small 500W heater only, I drained the battery to zero in less than 8 hours. Still looking to test other items I use when I can get back on the road. Also the power supply cord tends to become loose when charging and traveling down the road. This could become a problem when I go into the back country. Have not had the chance yet to use my solar panel to see how fast or slow the charging will go. I may need to invest in a second panel.
