Goal Zero Yeti 1000 costs $100 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- Oukitel BP2000 holds 107% more energy (2048Wh vs 988Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- Oukitel BP2000 has 400W more surge headroom (4000W vs 3600W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Goal Zero Yeti 1000 is 16.7 lb lighter (35.3 lb vs 52 lb).
- Goal Zero Yeti 1000 is rated for 4,000 cycles vs 3,500 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
