Yes — the Yeti 1500 runs a mini fridge comfortably

Estimated runtime

about 19 hours

on a single full charge

Est. usable (AC): 1,152 Wh

Appliance draw: 60 W

Continuous output: 2000 W

How we calculated this

We start from the Goal Zero Yeti 1500's 1,152 Wh of estimated usable energy at the outlet — its 1,505 Wh rating, derated for a safe depth of discharge and ~15% inverter loss — then divide by the mini fridge's 60W draw:

1,152 Wh ÷ 60 W ≈ 19.2 hours

Heads up: a mini fridge is a motor/compressor load that spikes 2–3× on startup. The Goal Zero Yeti 1500's 2000W continuous / 3600W surge output has plenty of headroom for that spike.

Real-world runtime varies with temperature, cable losses, and how hard the appliance actually cycles. Treat this as a solid estimate, not a guarantee.
