Goal Zero Yeti PRO 4000 review

Goal Zero Yeti PRO 4000 Portable Power Station (3,994Wh)

By Tom Calder

Our verdict · Researched
4.2 / 5

Goal Zero's own page lists 3,994 Wh, 3,600 W continuous and 7,200 W surge, with a 5-year warranty. It says the unit can back up to 10 home circuits through its Haven 10 manual transfer switch and runs almost any home appliance aside from air conditioning. A good fit for fridge, lights, Wi-Fi and a medical device, and it needs a transfer switch or an electrician for the circuit hookup.

Best for
A US household that wants a plug-in battery that can also feed essential circuits through a transfer switch
Skip it if
You need central air conditioning to run in an outage

How this review works

This is a Researched review: we haven't used this product. We check every specification against at least two independent sources, re-check the US price on a schedule where we can track it automatically, and say plainly who it isn't for. Commissions never change a rating.
