What will the Goal Zero Yeti 1500 run?
The Goal Zero Yeti 1500 stores 1,505Wh with 2,000W of output (3,600W surge). Running one thing at a time, that's about 12 to 26 hours of a refrigerator, about 38 to 82 hours of a CPAP with the humidifier off and about 41 to 58 hours of Wi-Fi.
1.5 kWh with a 2,000 W inverter and IPX4 water resistance. At nearly 53 lb and a higher price than the Jackery 1500 v2, it's a harder sell.

Runtime: 1,505Wh × 90% usable × 85% inverter efficiency ÷ (the average draw + about 10W the station uses itself), from Energy Star figures and makers' manuals. "Runs it?" checks its output and surge rating against the cautious running and starting figures on generator makers' and DTE Energy's charts. Plan on the low end.

Questions
Can the Goal Zero Yeti 1500 run a refrigerator?
Yes. It runs one for about 12 to 26 hours on its own, and its output and surge rating cover the cautious figures on generator makers' charts.
How long will the Goal Zero Yeti 1500 run a CPAP?
About 38 to 82 hours with the humidifier and heated tube off, or about 15 to 37 hours with them on, running nothing else. Running it from the 12V outlet through the CPAP maker's own converter avoids the inverter's losses, so it lasts longer than these figures.
Can the Goal Zero Yeti 1500 run a space heater?
Only briefly: a space heater on high draws up to about 1,500 watts, so it lasts about 1 to 2.5 hours. See how to stay warm without power for what works better.
