This size Yeti replaced a smaller one that ran my lights and tv just fine, but this summer I planned on adding a portable evaporative cooler so I upsized. Works great - I got the more powerful ac charger just in case the sun lets me down. This will also handle a PS4 when my husband takes over!
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is my 2nd 1500X. I have used it with power tools, mobile amateur radio station, charging cell phones, hearing aids, and C-PAP machines. Soon will try powering a satellite dish and modem in a remote location.

Tested all functionality prior to a 4 day off grid camping trip. I was able to run a Dometic 35 and a EDHBay refrigerators for 4 days with minimal solar charging (mostly cloudy). No issues, all functions worked as expected.

Well, I plugged it in, downloaded the app. It charged right up. I connected it to the app via WiFi, seems to work. Haven't actually used it to power anything yet.

Just came back from camping trip to desert. Loved the Yeti 1500 and Nomad 200 combo to power portable fridge/cooler and lights and charge phones. Now plans to take this on our road trips etc whenever we need a cooler or portable power.

Second purchase from Goal zero. It is simple to operate and provides adequate short term back-up power. Very high quality

This is the second yeti, solar powered generator we have purchased. The first one did not have a lithium ion battery and I was able to hook it up to two 12 V batteries for extended use. The new one (Yeti1500X) is much lighter and also has great features as well. We have a bi-level home and have one upstairs and one downstairs.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The "Open Box" Yeti 1500X purchased arrived in excellent physical condition. It was packaged well and came with all accessories advertised. It has met all my expectations on portable power performance in my off-road adventure vehicle, but some technical issues exist. First - The MPPT charge controller does not allow a total rate of available solar charging at a smooth pace. When connected to my solar panel using the 8mm high input port the input wattage shuts down and spikes rhythmically from 25 W to 130W from my 170W panel. I am not expecting a full 170 W. Still, I expect it to be a continuous input of available and produced energy without the wild fluctuations and swings of input energy. Second - The Anderson input plug is not rated for the amperage advertised for charging from a vehicle or other high output charger within the Yeti1500X. The Anderson "High Power input on the face of my 1500X rated for 14-50 volts and 50 amps melted from the heat of a 20 amp 20V input and fused the connection, almost creating a fire.
Technical Support is fair. The will always point a finger back at you no matter your experience or expertise but they are prompt in their replies.
Over all I would purchase again but only as a redundant backup to a more reliable and better engineered unit..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
