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 | ~14.7h | 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 | ~14.3h | 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 | ~13.9h | 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 8000W surge rating can support typical compressor startup in residential air conditioners, well pumps, and refrigeration equipment. Most single-phase motor loads under 2HP can start on this surge budget. The 4000W continuous capacity can handle simultaneous operation of multiple circuits including HVAC blowers, lighting, and standard appliances during extended outages.
This unit provides 4096Wh of LFP battery capacity with 4000W continuous and 8000W surge output capability. Source: EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 User Manual v1.1 (AC Output Specifications) (manufacturer documentation). The LFP chemistry offers thermal stability compared to older lithium-ion chemistries, though all battery systems require proper ventilation and adherence to installation guidelines.

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: ~13.9h. 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.
