First Impressions
Aesthetics is the least important factor when it comes to power stations. Bluetti is not as aesthetically pleasing as GoalZero. With a neon green, black and silver color combination, GoalZero Yeti 1500X looks cool. Also, it comes with a carry handle on either side.
On the other hand, Bluetti AC200P has black/silver color combination with its brand name on the front. Instead of handles, slots are given on either side to carry around.
Goal Zero weighs 45.64lbs whereas Bluetti AC200P weighs just around 60.6lbs.
Find the number of ports and their power rating in the below table.
| Yeti 1500X | Bluetti AC200P | |
| AC Power Outlets | 2 Ports 2000W each | 6 Ports 2000W each |
| USB Ports | 2 Ports 5V | 4 Ports 5V |
| USB C Ports | 1 60W PD In/Out, 1 Quick Charge Port(18W) | 1 60W PD |

Bluetti has too many ports where you can power 17devices simultaneously. Also, Bluetti has 2 wireless charging ports which are rare. Yeti has got standard ports covered but fails to compete against Bluetti.
Battery Capacity and Power
We have been explaining how battery capacity and power capacity are important in their own terms. Both Yeti 1500x and AC200P offer a power capacity of 2000W allowing you to run almost all devices.
The battery capacity of Bluetti AC200P is quite more compared to Goal Zero which means you can run your devices longer. Also, the surge of AC200P is 4800W which quite comfortably outwits Goal Zero’s 3500W.
| Goal Zero Yeti 1500x | Bluetti AC200P | |
| Power | 2000W | 2000W |
| Battery Capacity | 1516Wh | 2000Wh |
| Surge | 3500W | 4800W |
Charging
Both Bluetti and Yeti support multiple charging methods. Have a look at the below table to have an idea of charging time.
| Â | Goal Zero Yeti 1500x | Bluetti AC200 |
| AC Wall Outlet | ~14 Hours for a full charge (120W) | ~3 Hours for a full charge (2x400W) |
| Solar Panel | 1200W (Boulder 200W X 6panels): 3 Hours | Supports 700W Panel (~5Hours) |
Bluetti also supports various charging methods like Lead-acid batteries, gas generators, cars, etc
Note that Yeti comes with a 120W charger which takes 14 hours to charge whereas it supports up to 600W and takes just 3 hours for a full charge.
Lithium-ion batteries degrade if charged too quickly. Goal Zero is said to have 500 charge cycles whereas Bluetti advertises 3500 charge cycles which is huge.
