Model-Specific Results

3 of 3 models are SAFE or TIGHT. Most demanding model: Tiger JBV-A18U (10-Cup Micom) (941W surge).

Model Running Surge Verdict Runtime Source
Aroma ARC-914SBD (8-Cup Digital) 350W 350W Safe ~12.3h OEM Verified
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 350 W. **Surge:** 350 W. Requires 120V AC output. Resistive heating element with no motor inrush. One of the lightest rice cooker loads available.

Field note: At 350W this is one of the easiest kitchen appliances to run off-grid. Even a compact 300Wh power station can handle a full cook cycle.

Can I run this Aroma rice cooker on a small portable power station?

Yes โ€” at 350W it works on any power station rated 500W+ continuous. A 500Wh battery handles multiple cook cycles.

Zojirushi NS-TSC18 (10-Cup Micom) 820W 820W Safe ~5.2h OEM Manual
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 820 W. **Surge:** 820 W (no inrush spike). **Voltage:** 120 V AC required. Micom (microcomputer) fuzzy-logic heating draws more than basic rice cookers due to advanced temperature control.

Field note: The 10-cup Zojirushi is a mid-range load. Power stations rated 1000W+ handle it with comfortable margin. The fuzzy logic cycling means average draw is below 820W over a full cook.

Can I run this Zojirushi on a 500W power station?

No โ€” it draws 820W continuous. You need at least a 1000W-rated power station for safe operation.

Tiger JBV-A18U (10-Cup Micom) 941W 941W Safe ~4.6h OEM Verified
Show expert analysis

Technical: **Running load:** 941 W. **Surge:** 941 W. Requires 120V AC output. Micom-controlled heating with no motor inrush. The highest-draw standard rice cooker in this comparison.

Field note: At 941W this is the heaviest standard rice cooker load. A 1200W power station handles it with margin. Don't confuse this with induction heating models (1300W+) which are a different class.

Why does this Tiger draw more than a Zojirushi of the same size?

Heating element wattage varies by design. The Tiger JBV-A18U uses a 941W element vs 820W for the Zojirushi NS-TSC18 โ€” both are 10-cup micom cookers but with different heating configurations.

Generator Insights

With 12000 watts of surge capacity, this system can handle typical startup loads for central air compressors, well pumps, and other motor-driven equipment common in residential settings. The 6000-watt continuous rating supports sustained operation of multiple high-draw appliances simultaneously. The 6144 Wh capacity provides meaningful runtime for essential circuits during grid outages.

This unit uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry, known for stable thermal behavior in stationary storage applications. The system is designed with internal protections typical of grid-tied and off-grid battery platforms. Source: EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra User Manual (manufacturer documentation).

Technical Analysis

Spec-Based โ€ข No Guarantees

Technical Breakdown

Running load: 941 W continuous (worst case). Surge: 941 W (resistive heating element, no motor start spike). Voltage: 120 V AC required. Rice cookers range from 350W (basic digital) to 941W (large micom) depending on size and technology.

Expected Behavior

Estimated runtime: ~4.6h. Load depends on model: budget 8-cup cookers draw 350W, premium 10-cup micom models draw 820-941W. Half-hour daily operation consumes 175-470 Wh. Load is steady with no inrush spike.

Field Note

Check your specific model before sizing a power station. A budget Aroma (350W) runs on almost anything, while a 10-cup Tiger or Zojirushi (820-941W) needs a 1000W+ station.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra power a Rice Cooker?

Yes. The EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra provides 6000W running / 12000W surge. The Rice Cooker needs 1036W / 1036W (including 10% buffer). That leaves 4964W of running headroom and 10964W of surge margin.

How long will the Delta Pro Ultra run a Rice Cooker?

Approximately 4.6 hours, based on the Rice Cooker's 941W draw and the Delta Pro Ultra's 6144Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).

What Else Can You Run?

With 3640W allocated to the Rice Cooker, the Delta Pro Ultra still has ~219W of margin. These devices could run simultaneously:
