Can a Goal Zero Yeti 1000 Core run a space heater (1500 w)?
No — the Goal Zero Yeti 1000 Core can't run a space heater (1500 w).
The space heater (1500 w) draws about 1,500 W (a steady resistive load); the Yeti 1000 Core delivers 1,200 W continuous and 2,400 W surge. That's not enough continuous output.

The check
Continuous: 1,200 W < 1,500 W needed → fails
Surge: 2,400 W ≥ 1,500 W needed → ok
Continuous: 1,200 W < 1,500 W needed → fails
Surge: 2,400 W ≥ 1,500 W needed → ok

Common questions
Can the Goal Zero Yeti 1000 Core run a space heater (1500 w)?
No. A space heater (1500 w) needs 1,500 W continuous, but the Goal Zero Yeti 1000 Core only delivers 1,200 W continuous — so it can’t sustain the running load. You'd want a larger unit.
