Power Stations for Running a Refrigerator
A refrigerator cycles on and off, so its average draw is much lower than its running wattage. Pick a station whose rated output covers your fridge's label wattage and whose surge covers compressor startup.
| Station | Rated AC | Est. runtime |
|---|---|---|
| Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 | 2,200 W | 22.3 h – 23.8 h |
| BLUETTI AC180 | 1,800 W | 12.6 h – 13.4 h |
| Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 | 1,500 W | 11.7 h – 12.5 h |
| EcoFlow DELTA 3 | 1,800 W | 11.2 h – 11.9 h |
| BLUETTI AC70 | 1,000 W | 8.4 h – 8.9 h |
Ranked by published capacity, not by testing. Appliance wattage: Average draw derived from DOE/EREC annual use of a frost-free 16–18 cu ft refrigerator (642–683 kWh/yr ÷ 8,760 h). Running/defrost nameplate wattage listed as 725 W; compressor startup surge can be higher and is not published.
