Model-Specific Results
3 of 3 models are SAFE or TIGHT. Most demanding model: LG LMXS28596S Door-in-Door (27.8 cu.ft) (414W surge).
| Model | Running | Surge | Verdict | Runtime | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GE Profile PGD29BYTFS (28.7 cu.ft) | 195W | 390W | Safe | ~3.8h | Engineering Est. |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 195W (derived from 681 kWh/yr at 40% duty cycle). **Surge:** 390W estimated (2x conservative multiplier — compressor type not explicitly published). **Voltage:** 120V AC. Running watts represent active compressor draw, not the 15A minimum circuit rating on the nameplate. Field note: The GE Profile PGD29BYTFS is a Wi-Fi connected 4-door model. The 195W running draw and 390W surge make it highly compatible with most portable power stations. The real constraint for multi-day outages is battery capacity, not inverter output. Can I keep my GE Profile french door refrigerator running during a power outage? Only if your power source can supply at least 195W continuous and 390W surge at 120V. At ~78W average draw, a 1 kWh battery lasts roughly 13 hours between charges. | |||||
| Samsung RF29DB9900 Bespoke (28.6 cu.ft) | 200W | 400W | Safe | ~3.7h | Engineering Est. |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 200W (derived from 700 kWh/yr at 40% duty cycle). **Surge:** 400W estimated (2x conservative multiplier — compressor type not explicitly published in electrical specs). **Voltage:** 120V AC. The 700 kWh/yr EnergyGuide rating confirms this is a mid-range draw for a 28.6 cu.ft unit. Field note: The Samsung Bespoke 4-Door Flex is one of the best-selling premium french door refrigerators in the US. Its 200W running draw is well within the range of virtually all portable power stations. Battery capacity — not output wattage — is the limiting factor for multi-day backup. Can I run the Samsung Bespoke refrigerator on a portable power station during a blackout? Only if your power source can supply at least 200W continuous and 400W surge at 120V. At ~80W average draw, a 1 kWh battery lasts roughly 12.5 hours between charges. | |||||
| LG LMXS28596S Door-in-Door (27.8 cu.ft) | 207W | 414W | Safe | ~3.6h | Engineering Est. |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 207W (derived from 724 kWh/yr at 40% duty cycle). **Surge:** 414W estimated (2x conservative multiplier — compressor type not explicitly published in electrical specs). **Voltage:** 120V AC. The highest energy consumption in this comparison at 724 kWh/yr, driven by 27.8 cu.ft capacity and Door-in-Door feature. Field note: The LG Door-in-Door is the highest-draw model in this comparison at 207W running. The InstaView window and Door-in-Door compartment add thermal load from frequent partial opening. Even at worst case, any power station above 500W output can handle this refrigerator — battery capacity is the real constraint. Can I keep my LG Door-in-Door refrigerator running on battery backup? Only if your power source can supply at least 207W continuous and 414W surge at 120V. At ~83W average draw, a 1 kWh battery lasts roughly 12 hours between charges. | |||||

Generator Insights
The 2400 W surge can support typical startup events for refrigerator compressors, well pumps, and other inductive loads in the 1 to 1.5 HP range. The 1800 W continuous rating sustains moderate resistive and mixed loads once motors reach running speed. This combination handles most residential backup scenarios where brief inrush current precedes steady operation.
This unit provides a documented 2400 W surge window to handle motor inrush events without nuisance trips. LFP chemistry offers structural stability under load cycling. Source: Anker SOLIX C1000 User Manual (Output Specs) (manufacturer documentation).

Technical Analysis
Spec-Based • No GuaranteesTechnical Breakdown
Running load: 195–207W depending on model (derived from 681–724 kWh/yr EnergyGuide ratings at 40% duty cycle). Surge: 390–414W estimated (2x conservative multiplier). Voltage: 120V AC required. Compressor type not explicitly published in electrical specs for most models — running watts are derived from annual energy consumption, not nameplate amps.
Expected Behavior
Estimated runtime: ~3.6h. French door refrigerators run 24/7 during an outage with the compressor cycling at approximately 40% duty cycle. Average draw is 78–83W. Daily energy consumption ranges from 1,866–1,986 Wh. A 72-hour outage requires 5,600–5,959 Wh total stored energy.
Field Note
French door refrigerators are among the most generator-friendly large appliances. The compressor running watts (195–207W) are far below the 15A circuit rating on the nameplate. The real constraint for multi-day backup is battery capacity — not inverter output wattage. Most portable power stations above 500W can run a french door fridge; the question is how long.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Anker SOLIX C1000 power a French Door Refrigerator?
