Goal Zero Yeti 700 vs Allpowers R600
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
Allpowers R600 costs $500 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- Goal Zero Yeti 700 holds 126% more energy (677Wh vs 299Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- Allpowers R600 has 200W more surge headroom (1200W vs 1000W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- Allpowers R600 is 7.5 lb lighter (12.8 lb vs 20.3 lb).
- Goal Zero Yeti 700 is rated for 4,000 cycles vs 3,500 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
Neither of these will start a sump pump or well pump — both surge below the ~3,400W those motors need. If home backup with pumps is your use case, look at higher-surge models instead of either of these.
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
A light, cheap 299Wh unit with a 1,200W surge — a solid budget companion for devices and the occasional small appliance.
Best for: Budget campers charging devices with occasional small-appliance use.
Where it falls short:
- 299Wh is small
- 600W continuous output
