Model-Specific Results
3 of 3 models are SAFE or TIGHT. Most demanding model: Cosori Speed-Boil CO171-GK2 (1.7L, 1500W, Glass) (1,500W surge).
| Model | Running | Surge | Verdict | Runtime | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fellow Stagg EKG Pro (0.9L, 1200W, Gooseneck) | 1,200W | 1,200W | Safe | ~2.2h | OEM Verified |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 1200W. **Surge:** 1200W (resistive — no inrush). **Voltage:** 120V AC. Precision gooseneck pour-over kettle with variable temperature control. Smaller 0.9L capacity and lower wattage than standard kettles. Field note: The EKG Pro is the most generator-friendly kettle in this set at 1200W. With the 1.10x resistive buffer, a station needs at least 1320W continuous for a SAFE verdict. Stations rated 1200-1300W will show as TIGHT — usable but no headroom. Can I run the Fellow Stagg EKG Pro on a 1500W power station? Only if your power source can supply at least 1200W continuous at 120V. A 1500W station handles this comfortably with 300W of headroom. | |||||
| Cosori Speed-Boil CO171-GK2 (1.7L, 1500W, Glass) | 1,500W | 1,500W | Safe | ~1.8h | OEM Verified |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 1500W. **Surge:** 1500W (resistive — no inrush). **Voltage:** 120V AC. Glass body with blue LED, 1.7L capacity. Draws the maximum wattage a standard US 15A outlet allows. Field note: The #1 selling kettle on Amazon US. At 1500W, a station rated exactly 1500W shows TIGHT — the 1.10x resistive buffer pushes the effective requirement to 1650W. Fill only what you need: boiling 0.5L instead of 1.7L cuts energy per cycle by 70% and reduces time at peak draw. Can I run the Cosori kettle on a 1500W power station? Only if your power source can supply at least 1500W continuous at 120V. A 1500W-rated station will show as TIGHT — it works at raw spec but has zero headroom. | |||||
| Ninja KT200 Precision Temperature (1.7L, 1500W, Variable Temp) | 1,500W | 1,500W | Safe | ~1.8h | OEM Verified |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 1500W. **Surge:** 1500W (resistive — no inrush). **Voltage:** 120V AC. Features 7 preset temperature settings with hold-temp function. Despite variable temperature presets, the heating element fires at full 1500W regardless of target temperature. Field note: The KT200 is a common misconception trap: users assume lower temperature settings draw less power. They don't — the element is either fully on (1500W) or off. The only difference is cycle time. For generator sizing, always use 1500W regardless of the selected temperature preset. Does the Ninja KT200 draw less power on lower temperature settings? No. The heating element fires at full 1500W regardless of temperature setting. Lower settings just heat for a shorter duration. Your power station must handle 1500W continuous at 120V. | |||||

Generator Insights
The 9000W surge rating can handle typical compressor-based appliances like central air conditioners, well pumps, and refrigerators during startup. This capacity can support multiple simultaneous high-draw devices once running loads stabilize. Expect reliable operation for tools, HVAC systems, and other inductive loads that demand short-duration power spikes.
This unit employs LFP chemistry with a 3840Wh capacity, designed for stable discharge under high-demand conditions. The architecture supports both sustained and transient loads within rated limits. Source: Anker SOLIX F3800 User Manual v1.1 (Specifications) (OEM documentation).

Technical Analysis
Spec-Based • No GuaranteesTechnical Breakdown
Running range: 1200W (Fellow gooseneck) to 1500W (standard kettles). Surge: equals running watts — kettles are pure resistive loads with zero startup spike. Voltage: 120V AC. Most US kettles max out at 1500W due to the 15A circuit limit.
Expected Behavior
Estimated runtime: ~1.8h. Kettles draw high power for short bursts. A full 1.7L boil takes 5-6 minutes at 1500W (125-150 Wh). A quick 0.5L boil takes under 2 minutes (about 50 Wh). At 0.2 hours daily use, energy consumption ranges from 240 to 300 Wh — the compatibility challenge is inverter wattage, not battery capacity.
Field Note
Electric kettles are high power, low energy devices. A 1500W kettle needs a beefy inverter but barely dents the battery. Practical tip: fill only what you need. Boiling 2 cups instead of a full kettle cuts energy per cycle by 70% and reduces time at peak draw from 6 minutes to under 2.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Anker SOLIX F3800 power an Electric Kettle?
Yes. The Anker SOLIX F3800 provides 6000W running / 9000W surge. The Electric Water Kettle needs 1651W / 1651W (including 10% buffer). That leaves 4349W of running headroom and 7349W of surge margin.
How long will the Anker SOLIX F3800 run an Electric Kettle?
