- Goal Zero Yeti 1000X Review Part 1 - Legit Power Station with Nomad 100 Solar Panel
I have been using the new Goal Zero Yeto 1000X for the last month. This 5-minute video shows how I have been using it. The temps are around 24F and the Yeti was still charging from the sun while powering a device! I have been really impressed with your well the Yeti 1000X has been working.
Stay tuned for part 2 where I cover some tips and tricks to boost the useability of the Yeti 1000X.

Nomad 100 Solar Panel $399 - amzn.to/3sWPnkS

We have 500x and a 150, love them both.
Yes! Stoked you have them and hope they provide you very well on your adventures :)
Love the review- thinking about a purchase of the 1000X. Did you post a part 2? Couldn't find it on your page.
Thank you! 🙌. I love the 1000X. Using it while camping right now.
Here is part 2 ua-cam.com/video/Cg7wN5fKfG4/v-deo.html
Might shoot part 3 as I have some more to share on the unit.
Looking to utilize this on my sailboat, charging all day and then able to plug in electronics at night. The unit would be down below safe and dry and I would run the panels on the deck above in the sun to charge up while underway - do you know if the panels in your video can take SALT WATER mist with the likely occasional spray, likely becoming dripping wet? Are they water proof, so that at the end of the day I can hose them off with fresh water to clean them or are they unable to be wet at all and this wouldn't be an option?
Great, informative review!
Thank you!!
I don’t see why they would not work with salt water. My panels are covered in snow and water very often. And have been going strong every day for over a year. I would think they would do great for your set up.
Let us know how it Goes she have fun!
I just got mine yesterday and was charging from 2/3 solar panels in a temperate zone (Ireland in September). It wouldn't work at all initially, the input would flicker when I'd plug one 175w panel into the 8mm and immediately revert to 0w and no battery charging symbol. After a few times in and out, it started to work pulling in up to 175w in cloud+ sun conditions when I daisy chained my GZ boulder 50 to the Renology 175w using an MC4-8mm adapter. However, when it dropped to a low solar input in watts the GZ1000x display would revert to the 0w & no charging display. If I switched it to my Jackery 500 it would show 12w or whatever....what is going on?
Also when I tried to add the 3rd solar panel (a Renology 100w) on its own line and into the second 8mm port ( so parallel not series) it did not register at all. Is this normal? Or is my set up wrong or should I reboot it?
Thanks that was a great review. I just bought it from Costco for $1,200. i also like to get your roof top solar panel. You said you bought the 100 watt one but said not to exceed 50 watt. Please clarify that. Also the "Anderson connector" you are talking about did it come with it or do i need to buy that separately? If so please send that info too
Question - will it power/run my 120VAC 60Hz 1500W heater for 6 hours you think?
Glad it was helpful!
Use this link to get the roof top solar panel.

Should be a 10% discount in there as well :)
You can run several hundred watts into the Goal Zero. No limit of 50 watts.
You will not get 100w out of the 100w panel most of the time. Closer to 60-85. Just they way it works.
I really dont think it will run the 1500w heater for 6 hours.
@@Engearment - another question- if we have an EMP strike, will the solar panel fry? I know the battery will :(
Using the Nomad 50 with Yeti 1000 , Yeti 1000 display has no input ( blue LED not illuminated, 0 wattage displayed for input )
Yeti 1000 input operates correctly while connected to a
Goal Zero 100 watt solar panel or while connected to a Goal Zero 100 watt panel when wired through the Nomad 50 Chain In and Nomad 50 Chain out.
Also , when the Nomad 50 is the the only solar panel connected , the Nomad 50 Blue LED illuminates when solar panels properly exposed to sunlight.
The Nomad 50 USB output will
charge a USB device.
Any help would be appreciated.
Very good 👍 I bought from Casco today in Kauai Island $ 1,499 dollars 💵price
Excellent! Enjoy the set up 👌
I picked up the yeti 1000x and the nomad 100 package from costco for $999 about 3 months ago.
Heck yes! Great combo and great price!
Hi, question can you use any dollar pane for the yeti 1000? Trying to see if a 300w will work. Thanks
Hello! Sorry, I am not sure what that is. But I would think a 300w device would work.
So is the nomad 100 the solar panel to go for with a yeti 1000x?
I’ve seen a deal on the 1000x and the boulder 100 panel?
Is that any good?
I need it in my van.
I’ll be mostly running a couple little usb fans, maybe some lights in the evening. Then charging my Mavic & FPV batteries regularly, and perhaps a small domestic fridge.
Cheers
Yep. That is a great set up. I put an additional 100w and extra 50w on my roof top tent (150w potentially) had it chargers up the 1000 in less than 8 hours. Sounds like the 100w and 1000w will be a good fit for your application. If possible, more power always helps! Meaning, I will run up to 4 panels (there is a nifty adapter for the goal zero system) and I am more than covered.
Hope that helps. Cheers!
Thank you for the Review.... I saw this unit at coscto, Do u think this unit would be good to use for Mobile Car detailers.... To power : A Pressure Washer, Vacuum, 6 gallon Air compressor? Of course not all running at the same time. Maybe 2 things at once. Please respond, would greatly appreciate it
Hello John Boy! I am not sure the power requirements of your tools, but you can add them up and find out for sure. I ran a fan, Dometic Fridge and charged cameras at the same time. I am thinking it will work for at least 2 of your devices. Let us know what you find out! Take care :)
@@Engearment OK good to know. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for responding I appreciate it. Good bless you
@@johnboy5632 My pleasure, take care!!
Once you plug in your device and run it, the Goal Zero info screen will tell you how much time you have. For example, I run a 700 Watt microwave for three minutes, but there is a drop in overall capacity (I can't remember how much). I think you would want a 2000X for your needs.
@@suzKawasaki Good advice!
💁🏼♀️Hi how many hours does it take to charge with that 100 panel? I have the 200 boulder but it’s too heavy. I might switch out to get the 1000 right now. I’ve got the 700. That’s awesome.🙋♀️🌈🌈🌈🤸♀️
Have you seen people or yourself experiencing problenms with this 1000x ? Charging problems. Seen a couple reviews with complaints. Help me out with info if u can . Cause i wanna buy this tomorrow for 674 dollars brand new
FYI...Costco has the 1000x + solar panels for $1499 which is an insane deal...
Holy guacamole!!! That is an incredible deal! I am shooting the second part of this review this week. I have some tips on how to push the Yeti a bit more. I think it’s the best set up out there. Thanks for the heads up on the Costco deal. I hope everyone jumps on that!
@@Engearment just picked up my 1000x for $1339 at the Navy Exchange.
@@Engearment Costco price up to $1599. I swear every time I go there prices rise.
Sportsman’s has 20% off on these right now.
@@patinaz6758 it just went on sale today for $1399.99 at Costco online. It may be cheaper at the warehouse
Looking to run a CPAP for 2 nights while camping - would this work full charged without having to recharge it?
Good question. The battery will work without charging it, until it runs out of power. Not sure how much power the CPAP draws. Hope that helps.
Summer time use in Colorado...Ok, how long will battery last just using the battery for dometic? And how much does the 100w solar pannel help being Stagnant for days...if sun in just right for the dometic?
@@chris74ify good question! I will see how long using just the battery with the domestic. I would guess 2 days. As that has been as long as I have gone without a charge.
Not sure if I fully understand the solar panel question. Can you elaborate a little bit? I don’t want to assume you mean using the solar panel only for the dometic.
@@Engearment yes how much longer will the goal zero 100w extend the life of the batery on long trips...
The dometic fridge I ment to say...lol
Does it require direct sunlight? Meaning how about on overcast day?
It’s really hit or miss. I have used it in overcast days and it does a lot less power. Sometimes no power. Direct is always preferred.
I’ve got to go to zero units and they both operate perfectly fine on overcast days/cloudy days. I would say the input power is about 50% when the clouds are out, but still charge is great. I don’t even face the panels of the sun I just leave them on the floor facing straight up and they charge for mourning up to sundown regardless of clouds. Really great unit zero good quality
Can any solar panel charge this battery? Trying to find one that fits on my roof seeing I have a Thule cargo box . Thanks
Yes! I use a renogy 100w glued to the roof top tent to power this. I can create a video on that setup.
@@Engearment ok great and that panel takes how long to charge the 1000x? Yes please if you can create video when you are free and let us/me know what else we need. Thank you very much!!
@@tentwelvedesign I recently put a second panel on the roof top tent as well. 175w total. Though 150w is about what I can pull in sunny conditions. ~10-12 hours to fill up the 1000x. It takes longer at the beginning.
What the name of the cooler you have .
Dometic CFX3 55IM Cooler $1200 - snp.link/efd7da94
only 1500x and above can you adjust the battery profiles.
That is awesome! I hope to have a 1500 to test here soon. They look awesome.
Yeti 500x is made with extremely cheap components. The battery drain relatively fast when not in use. I cannot believe they cost 5-700 dollars. If you leave it in storage and it drain down to 0, it will not take a charge and will brick. Mine bricked and I went with a Jackery, sat in storage for 7 months and it still had 95%+ of its charge. Yeti made good coolers for about a year, now they just overcharge people for pieces of shit. Im sure the 1000x isnt much different
Bummer about your experience. Hopefully they helped out with your situation. Our unit is still going strong. Even after having it in storage for a few months while we tested other batteries.
Not sure if you are referring to yeti coolers which is a different company and item. We have a few of and those are going strong as well.
Good to know about Jackery. We have not worked with them yet, but it looks like they do good work over there as well. Thanks for the tip.
Take care!
My 1000x is garbage, I have several charging options and the battery is losing capacity no matter how fast or slow I charge it. (Almost A year old, and crapping out)
@@TheMajictech then get it replaced under warranty, instead of whining in a comment thread?
@@jgg204 I’m just speaking candidly about my experience with that particular product. Since this is a review of the exact same product I spoke of, it is relevant. I already got it replaced with no issues whatsoever, no whining at all, so don’t come at me swinging your purse 😂
@@TheMajictech you conveniently complained and then intentionally left out that goal zero made good on it. Newsflash try getting warranty RMA service with that shenzhen based garbage like bluetti and ecoflow. I would only consider jackery and goal zero.
I have one I don't want
Would you like to sell it? Where are you located? Perhaps someone would like to buy it?’
