A refrigerator asks two unrelated things of a power station: a brief, violent current draw when the compressor kicks in, and about a day and a half of kilowatt-hours to keep cycling. These 2026 models clear both from sourced figures, at a size you can still put on a hand truck.

A fridge is two demands wearing one plug. The compressor needs a violent, sub-second gulp of current to break away from standstill, then settles to a modest draw for about a third of every hour. Passing the first has nothing to do with passing the second: surge capability is an inverter property and the day of cycling is a capacity property, and a station can be generous with one while failing the other.
Multiplying the running watts by twenty-four. That arithmetic produces a figure roughly three times what the appliance actually consumes, because the compressor is off for most of the hour once the cabinet is cold, and it sends people toward far more battery than the job needs. The opposite error is worse and quieter: a station sized on running watts alone works perfectly until the compressor restarts at two in the morning and the inverter trips.
The profile behind this eligibility check is a modern full-size unit in a normal kitchen. An older refrigerator with a tired compressor starts harder than the sourced surge figure, a garage unit in summer runs a far longer duty cycle, and a door opened every ten minutes while people are stuck at home changes the arithmetic more than any specification here accounts for.
28 of 80 tracked stations meet this list's eligibility rule, and the 10 highest-scoring of them are ranked above. The highest-scoring stations the rule excludes are EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra X, EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 and EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus. They rank well elsewhere on the site; they do not answer this question.
