I bought two Yeti 3000X (Open Box) power stations a few weeks ago. I live in CA and want to be prepared for outages. I specifically did not want a gasoline or natural gas generator. I like that I can charge these power stations via A/C or solar. A few days ago, we had a brief power outage in my neighborhood. I hooked the Yeti up to my WiFi router, and it worked! I had connectivity without having to drain my data. I also used it with my adjustable bed. Very satisfied with this purchase.

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.

Started out well ... then the firmware was updated

Overall, I am pleased with my Open Box purchase of the Yeti 3000 power unit. From date of order to actual delivery was less than 6 days. Unit was delivered by FedEx in very good condition. Saw the unit had approximately 32% on the display screen after taking it from the box ... being that it was sunny, I began charging the unit with my Boulder 200 panels. All went well for the afternoon and put everything away at dusk with the Yeti now showing about 76% charge. The phone app said there was a firmware update which I allowed to be applied to the Yeti 3000. Did not use the Yeti for a few days. On the 4th day, wanted to complete the full charge of the unit and hauled everything outside only to find the Yeti appeared to be completely dead. Displays wouldn't work and it wouldn't accept a charge from either the solar panels or the electrical outlet. Reached out to Goal Zero asking for help. Customer Service got back to me within 36 hours and provided instructions on how to reboot the unit. Executed the reboot process and all has been wonderful since ... keeping my fingers crossed.

I received my Yeti 3000X + Ranger 300 BC about a week ago. I purchased an additional Ranger 300 BC, the 4x High Power Port Combiner, and the 30' extension cable to complete my set up. Everything works well so far. Only suggestion I have is to make the plastic covers on the metal corners of the solar panels more rugged. It appears several of them broke during shipping, likely when the box was dragged on the ground. I plan to use this as a home back-up system, and as a power source while camping.

I've always been skeptical about purchasing anything "open box." Seeing as I had also bought a 1500 (new) and loved the functionality, I rolled the dice and it paid off! It's a great "Jenny" and is going to be exactly what we need during the next big storm or outage. It came with all of the cables, was in near perfect condition, and it works perfectly. This purchase is a good way for me to get over the stigma of buying open box products.

Use at our off grid camp

Bought this 2 years ago to power our small off grid camp (we do not live there full time). It is great for weekends! We plug it into the camp and it powers our lights and large dorm fridge for a few days without recharging it. We also use it to recharge batteries for cordless drills, battery powered chainsaws and the 12v battery for our shower water pump. Hasn’t let us down yet! We have plugged power tools into it and even run a well pump off it.
The case solar panel does take a long time to recharge the unit, especially here in the northeast where our sun isn’t as strong as other parts of the country. But overall we are very happy with this unit!

Stopped working won’t reset

My yeti 3000x worked good from my purchase date (2020) until today (03/10/23) . I left it to charge with my goalzero solar panels when I went to work . When I got home and tried to use it nothing worked , won’t charge , making a quiet squeaking noise , charging blue light won’t turn off and it won’t do a reset . I also have the expansion tanks that are now also useless bc the main generator isn’t operational .
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
