A fridge needs low average energy but enough inverter strength for compressor startup. Compare portable power stations by runtime, surge and practical backup use.
For a fridge, do not choose only by headline capacity. Check continuous output, startup surge tolerance, usable watt-hours and how many hours you need the fridge protected.
Small fridges often run at low average wattage but start with a short compressor surge.
For overnight backup, look at usable energy, not only the number printed on the box.
For hot kitchens, commercial fridges or freezers, move one model class higher.
