| Model | Running | Surge | Verdict | Runtime | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Instant Pot Vortex Plus 6QT | 1,700W | 1,700W | Safe | ~0.6h | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 1700W. **Surge:** 1700W. **Voltage:** 120V AC. No surge overhead indicates resistive heating element with minimal inrush. Power station must supply continuous 1700W on a single AC outlet. Field note: Verify your power station's continuous AC output rating exceeds 1700W with margin for voltage sag under load. Can I run this air fryer on a 1500W power station? Only if your power source can supply at least 1700W continuous and 1700W surge at 120V. Only if the station tolerates brief overload without shutdown. | |||||

Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 1700 W. **Surge:** 1700 W (resistive heating element, no startup spike). **Voltage:** 120V AC required. Power station must deliver steady 1700 W continuous output at 120V. Field note: Verify power station sustains 1700 W continuous without voltage sag. Match or exceed rated output capacity. Can I run this air fryer on a 1500W power station? Only if your power source can supply at least 1700W continuous and 1700W surge at 120V. Only if you accept nuisance shutdowns or reduced cooking performance. | |||||
| Ninja AF101 (AF100 Series) | 1,550W | 1,550W | Safe | ~0.7h | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 1550 W. **Surge:** 1550 W (no inrush spike). **Voltage:** 120 V AC. Resistive heating element, stable draw throughout cook cycle. Field note: Size the power station with at least 1600 W continuous output. Check AC outlet rating, not just inverter nameplate capacity. Will this air fryer work on a 1000 W power station? Only if your power source can supply at least 1550W continuous and 1550W surge at 120V. | |||||

Technical Analysis
Spec-Based • No GuaranteesTechnical Breakdown
Running load: 1700 W. Surge: 1700 W (resistive heating element, no motor spike). Voltage: 120 V AC required. This is a high-draw resistive appliance with no inrush.
Expected Behavior
Estimated runtime: ~0.6h. Daily usage is 0.5 hours consuming approximately 850 Wh. The heating element cycles on and off during cook time, drawing the full 1700 W only when actively heating.
Field Note
Ensure the power station can sustain 1700 W continuous output with at least 10% headroom (1870 W rated capacity minimum). Verify inverter cooling during extended frying cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Goal Zero Yeti 1500X power an Air Fryer?
Yes. The Goal Zero Yeti 1500X provides 2000W running / 3500W surge. The Digital Air Fryer needs 1871W / 1871W (including 10% buffer). That leaves 129W of running headroom and 1629W of surge margin.
How long will the Yeti 1500X run an Air Fryer?
Approximately 0.6 hours, based on the Digital Air Fryer's 1700W draw and the Yeti 1500X's 1516Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).
Efficiency Hack: Large appliances like the Digital Air Fryer cycle on and off. To maximize the 0.6 hours of runtime, try to minimize how often you open the device or introduce heat loads.
