Does not perform as rated + bad smell from unit

I bought this unit a 20 days ago and have been testing it everyday to try to make the smell go away. When using it in my van, the smell from the unit is so noxious that I cannot be in my van at the same time and have to put the yeti outside of my van (and worry about someone taking it).
When running it, the Yeti 6000x only has 4,880 watt-hours of capacity (not 6,000) at a 1,367 watt load. And at a 560 watt load, it only has 5,120 watt-hours of capacity. This is a significant haircut from the rated capacity of 6,000.
I like that the unit is quite portable and I can move it around and get it in and out of my van fairly easily. But I will be returning it because the smell is too bad to use it while inside of my van (main reason I wanted to get a 6000x vs. a honda 2200) and has not gone away after 20 full charge/discharge cycles.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This power station is amazing! I can run anything I could normally run from a regular wall outlet. I even plugged in a heat gun at 1500 degrees and it ran just fine for over a half hour for a job I was doing. This is an absolute powerhouse. Would highly recommend.

Thus far, I have charged it from the grid. I have not yet used it to power anything or charge it will solar panels. That said, I am confident that it will work flawlessly.

Powered our travel trailer for a 6-month trip

Our three year old Yeti6000 has powered our 30' travel trailer for 9 months on the road over the past two years. Roof-mounted solar kept us charging while on the road and when camping, I used three 255W used residential panels on the ground. That maxed out the 600 watt max input for most of the day. The unit worked flawlessly. My only concern is getting a replacement battery for it when I reach the 500 cycle point. I'm hoping GZ upgrades their battery technology to the match/beat what the competitors are saying on life cycles.

I love my yeti 6000x with the solar panel attachments. I power my garage workshop with solar energy. I just open my garage door on sunny days, and recharge the system. It's free clean energy! I love it!

In general, great product but reason to drop to 3 stars is the noisy power supply unit (charger) and the limitation to only charge 600W. Would love to be able to plug a fast charger during daytime like a 2.2 kW gas generator so that I have the unit recharged fast for nighttime use.

We bought the Yeti 6000X to power our refrigerator, lights and phones when we have had power outages in CA, mainly due to the fires, but sometimes the power goes out during strong storms. The Yeti 600X has been a large stress reliever in dealing with these power outages, as it is so reliable. We highly recommend the Yeti 6000X for keeping the lights on, our refrigerator running and our phones charged!
