Generator Insights
The 7200 W surge can handle typical compressor-based appliances like well pumps, refrigerators, and air conditioning startup events on 120V circuits. The 3600 W continuous rating supports sustained operation once inrush currents settle, making this unit a strong option for heavy 120V backup loads.
This unit uses LFP chemistry and draws from manufacturer documentation for its output specifications. The 7200 W surge rating reflects the inverter's transient capacity, not a thermal or safety certification.

Technical Analysis
Spec-Based • No GuaranteesTechnical Breakdown
Running load: 1600 W. Surge: 1600 W. Voltage: 120 V AC. Resistive heating element draws constant current during brew cycle with no inrush spike.
Expected Behavior
Estimated runtime: ~1.7h. Daily usage of 0.5 hours consumes approximately 800 Wh. Heating phase dominates power draw until brewing completes.
Field Note
Ensure power station can sustain 1600 W continuous output. Brief voltage sag under load may extend brew time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Goal Zero Yeti Pro 4000 power a Coffee Maker?
Yes. The Goal Zero Yeti Pro 4000 provides 3600W running / 7200W surge. The Coffee Maker needs 1761W / 1761W (including 10% buffer). That leaves 1839W of running headroom and 5439W of surge margin.
How long will the Yeti Pro 4000 run a Coffee Maker?
Approximately 1.7 hours, based on the Coffee Maker's 1600W draw and the Yeti Pro 4000's 3993.6Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).
