Well. I'll have to do this feedback in segments.12/27/12This kit comes with the:Yeti 1250 Generator2 Boulder 30 Solar Panels to charge the Yeti, each come with a charge cord1 AC adapter to charge the Yeti1 Carrying case for the Solar Panels1 Cart (requires assembly-attaches to the Yeti)I live in the Mid-Atlantic where the sun is unpredictable, but wanted a green generator. I purchased two additional Boulder 30's to maximize charge potential. However, the most I've got out of the four panels in one partly cloudy day is 40 watts of charge, which is scary as the panels are supposed to be 30 watts a-piece. I'll have to wait until a non-cloudy day to see what I can max out at and let you know...Other than the small issues I've tested so far, this thing is pretty cool and self-explanatory, convenient load plugs and the top easily disassembles to test and/or replace the internal battery. The Goal Zero website said the battery has a 20 year life cycle, but that does depend on the amount of use it gets.12/29-I did a run-down test with my refrigerator from full charge (average 110w draw). I got 16-18hrs (and I say that because I fell asleep and it was on, 3 hrs later it was off). So here's the rub, no alarm to let you know its drawing down like a UPS does. But the back up time was more than what I hoped for. The idea was to run the refrigerator and re-charge the Yeti with solar panels to keep it running as much as possible. I couldn't charge as we had a storm roll in with no sun, lucky I have electricity to use the power cord...Pro's:-Great for emergency use but not for overly extended periods of time where you can't guarantee having the sun for recharge. (Ideal for fair weather camping or occasional home use/outdoor parties).-No need for gas, clean and quiet.-Can be put outdoors while charging from the sun and kept indoors all other times. (I've even charged it indoors in my foyer that catches the sun in the morning)-Convenient plug-n-play design.-While the Yeti is very heavy, the handles and optional cart are a must! I can move it around by myself with the cart. Lifting is another story.-The solar panels are made well and have mounting holes built in.Con's:-The display occasionally goes to zero output and the battery indicator doesn't update (but the output power is still on). The product card says to shut the output off and wait 60 seconds then it will correct itself, but if you just wait, it will come back, eventually. So they already know there's a problem with monitoring.-No alarm for when the battery is about to die. It just shuts off, kind of like a gas generator, just dies.-The USB section does not charge my Blackberry. I have to use the 120v plug to charge it. Otherwise, it does charge other USB devices fine (like iPhone).-The Goal Zero array for the solar panels is not rated well. I didn't purchase it and need to make my own or wait for an alternative.

The black laminate backing to the panels attracts heat, it absorbs heat which reduces the Wattage output to Physical Test Conditions of these panels. Heat decreases amp output. So these panels on average will perform to the average PTC of a standard 20watt panel with a white laminate backing.Generator is way over priced for the 100 Amp hour battery capacity offered for this generator. 100 amp hour battery at most costs $250 so do the math when you couple it with a inverter and controller which could all be had for under $1000.00 as a package.The greater the Depth of Discharge the less life expectancy of the generator.Goal Zero loosely bases a statement that you will get 100's of charge cycles, and wont accept accountability or back the statistics that a full depth of discharge reduces the life of the battery by 50%.Thats alot of money to throw away, consumers need to do their home work for what they pay for or a consumer may get burned in the process.

I purchased this as an emergency backup. I've had it for 5 months and its been plugged in since purchased as recommended when not in use. Well I tried it for the first time using a space heater. The draw rate was 1000w. Almost immediately the battery status was on 20% and was completely drained in 12 minutes. I'm sure it would be ok for just usb products but beyond that I don't see it being useful. I absolutely feel it was a waste of $1700.
