Q: How long will the Goal Zero Yeti 500 run a microwave (1000w)?

The Goal Zero Yeti 500 has 499 Wh (about 382 Wh usable at the outlet, estimated). Running a microwave (1000w) that draws 1200W, it lasts under an hour on a single full charge.

Will the Goal Zero Yeti 500 run a microwave (1000w)?

No — the microwave (1000w) needs more power than this unit delivers

It draws about 1200W, but the Yeti 500 only outputs 300W continuously — so it won't start, or it will overload and shut off.

Because the microwave (1000w) needs more continuous power than this unit can deliver, a runtime figure doesn't really apply — you'd need a higher-output station. See stronger options below, or the sizing calculator to find one that fits.
