Goal Zero Yeti 700

Ranked #31 in Portable Power Stations

169 LP on the category ladder what's LP?

The classic brand-name tax: it went through OutdoorGearLab's head-to-head but wins no current expert honors, and newer LiFePO4 rivals from Bluetti and EcoFlow outclass it per watt-hour.

Flagged as a product to avoid

1 of 3 research runs entered this as a product to avoid rather than a pick.

The Yeti line has not kept pace with the LiFePO4 wave: current expert guides from PCMag, Popular Mechanics, Business Insider, and Car and Driver hand their honors to Anker, Bluetti, EcoFlow, and Jackery's current-gen units, leaving the Yeti 700 trading on brand recognition at a capacity-and-output disadvantage against units like the Bluetti Elite 100 V2 or EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro.

The Goal Zero Yeti 700 was one of the most impressive units during testing. It achieved 70 percent efficiency against its stated 677Wh size and powered a 34W grow light for over 13 hours. While the Lion Energy Summit just squeaked by with the most efficient overall time, it was still showing 8 percent power left in the unit when it suddenly shut off.
