The main red/black charging port doesn’t even work and according the website I thought it would have 2 but it has only one, would not recommend buying this product. It will take days to charge now which makes
It pretty useless

The perfect power source - strong and versatile.

The Yeti is a perfect alternative to a gas-powered generator and so much safer to use. Since it doesn’t emit fumes or gases it is safe to use in enclosed spaces and it is virtually silent. The large variety of charging options is another huge plus that adds to the versatility of this gem.

LOVE IT. While on dialysis I was able to to camp using my yeti to run the peritoneal dialysis machine. I cou;ld get 3 nights off the yeti with some power left over. Now we use it for all our AC needs in our Alaskan camper that does not have an AC poer source. Works great!

We bought our 3000 X a couple months ago after purchasing the 1500 X and we were very happy with the 1500 X except it wouldn’t run our freestanding AC in my wife’s art studio so we got the 3000 and together switching them out, they do a great job can’t daisychain them but that’s OK. We just switch to the next one when one runs low And they have easy to read displays and good remotes. Great features and the app works well.

I bought this to be able to run my computer and StarLink at an off grid location. Been testing before going on-site. I get random reboots/resets? Basically it beeps, stops providing power and then starts again. This will kill my internet every time. Now looking into other options and will keep this as a backup.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Finally put to real test Hurricane Beryl 2024

Bought 3000X 3 years ago. Has kept internet running and things charged during minor power outages. We bought with intention of keeping internet and fridge running during Hurricanes. It worked perfectly this year, although Xfinity problems kept the internet from working, not power to our router. Also, BTW I figured out how to extend fridge support to 72 hours. I suggest getting digital freezer & fridge thermometer so you can track the temperatures.
When power goes out, have no power to fridge for 3 hours (don't open it). Starting temps: Freezer=-3, Fridge=40. After 3 hours temps: Freezer=14, Fridge=43. Then, plug fridge into Yeti 3000X for 1 hour and get everything you need out of fridge (I preferred at start of hour). After 1 hour of power: Freezer=-3, Fridge=41. Repeat the 3 hours of no power/don't open fridge and then the 1 hour of power/open fridge.
My fridge uses approximately 136 w per hour, not counting the jump to 160/180 when starting up. I figured out that if I ran the fridge with continuous power I would get 22 hours from the 3000X. If I run the 1 hour on/3 hour off, I get 72 hours. These calculations are roughly an estimate. I only lost power for 14 hours total, but I kept track of times and fridge temperatures. I didn't have to throw away any food and the popsicles were only slightly not as rock-hard as usual.
BTW I did get a 300w suitcase solar panel (forget which one) that I was going to connect the next day. I think when I tested it, it pulled in about 250w per hour. So, if we had no power the next day and I could add up to 250w per hour for 6 hours..... my brain hurts but I would have been able to run the fridge and probably some fans for a lot longer than 72 hours.
Anyway, that's my story and I'm really glad I got the 3000X. My brothers frozen steaks are still in my freezer because his power is still out - saved him from throwing out a lot of money!

Mostly works well

Works well and last a long time however it will not run my starlink satellite which only uses 26 watts. I have no idea why but it shuts off everytime we try it. We can charge phones and run fans and other small appliances from the same plug just no starlink
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
