Side-by-side on the specs that decide it — surge, capacity, runtime and price.
Both models' specs verified against manufacturer listings · Last updated
The short answer
Goal Zero Yeti 700 costs $1500 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- Allpowers R4000 holds 410% more energy (3456Wh vs 677Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- Allpowers R4000 has 5000W more surge headroom (6000W vs 1000W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Goal Zero Yeti 700 is 85.7 lb lighter (20.3 lb vs 106 lb).
- Goal Zero Yeti 700 is rated for 4,000 cycles vs 3,500 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
Goal Zero Yeti 700
The largest of the rugged compacts. Still not an appliance unit — 600W of output caps what it can drive — but a durable mid-size companion.
Best for: Rugged off-grid use where durability outranks running heavy loads.
Where it falls short:
- 600W output rules out compressors and heaters
- 20.3 lb is heavy for 677Wh
Allpowers R4000
A large expandable unit that undercuts the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 on price while matching its 4,000W output — the trade is a less established support network.
Best for: Whole-home backup buyers prioritising price per watt over brand.
Where it falls short:
- 106 lb
- Brand support and resale trail the big names
