What will the Goal Zero Yeti 700 run?

The Goal Zero Yeti 700 stores 677Wh with 600W of output (1,000W surge). Running one thing at a time, that's about 5.5 to 12 hours of a refrigerator if it can start one (see below), about 17 to 37 hours of a CPAP with the humidifier off and about 18 to 26 hours of Wi-Fi.

Runtime: 677Wh × 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 700 run a refrigerator?

Not reliably: may not start it (surge 1,000W). If it does run one, it lasts about 5.5 to 12 hours.

How long will the Goal Zero Yeti 700 run a CPAP?

About 17 to 37 hours with the humidifier and heated tube off, or about 6.5 to 17 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 700 run a space heater?

Only briefly: a space heater on high draws up to about 1,500 watts, so it lasts about 0.5 to 1 hour. See how to stay warm without power for what works better.
