A premium emergency backup pick for homeowners who want enough capacity to ride a full-size fridge through multi-hour outages without juggling smaller batteries.
- Amazon price
- $1899.95
Pros
- 1,516Wh lithium capacity with a 2,000W AC inverter handles fridge startup surges most mid-tier stations can't
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth integration via the Goal Zero app lets you monitor runtime and load remotely during an outage
- Broad output mix including dual 120W USB-C PD, 12V, and multiple AC outlets covers a fridge plus phones and lights simultaneously
- Chainable with Goal Zero Tank expansion batteries if your backup needs grow
Cons
- Heavy and awkward to reposition without the optional roll cart
- Solar input is capped well below newer competitors, so recharging from panels is slow
- Costs noticeably more per watt-hour than current LiFePO4-based rivals, and the NMC chemistry has a shorter cycle life
