what power does this refrigerator use?

I am in the USA so I know it operates on 110 volt AC. Does not do battery, I just don't know about 220 volt AC

Yes but you should run refrigerator on a timer to keep it from going into defrost mode witch can pull as much as 1000 watts for 2 hours

I bought this for my refrigerator. It's plugged into a regular wall socket. Couldn't tell you the amps.

You have to add the amps each appliance draws (starting amps, not running amps) and make sure it's below the capacity of the unit. I ran 2 chest freezers at once, but never tried to run more at once. If the power fails I'll just run each fridge & freezer for an hour at a time every few hours.

Jay P, I cannot really answer that question as we use it as a spare Fridge in our RV, so it is either plugged in and full or empty and shutdown. It is awesome and I am very glad that we bought it! Sorry, I could not be more helpful. Jeff

If the voltage is 115 and the current is 0.8 the power would be 115 Volts * 0.8 Amps = 92 Watts (Max, I left power factor = 1). The EL2601 can supply up to 400 Watts of power. Your fridge is using 23% of the 400 Watts. You will be fine.

I am very doubtful that you could run either of these major appliances. I run a very small frig/freezer on my boat that uses about 25 amp/hours per day. I think these much larger appliances have much larger compressors and would use a lot more electrical energy.

This refrigerator uses 479 kWh/yr and has an estimated yearly operating cost of $53.12.

Sharon - a typical refrigerator uses around 600 watts this will provide around 100 watts max so it will fall a bit short. I haven't tested it with a newer refrigerator but if you had a smaller electric cooler that required a lower wattage this would work great. Hope that helps.Matt

I don't know exact figures but since its not a refrigerator but rather a thermal electric heat exchanger based cooler it doesn't draw much power.

Not sure of electricity consumption; however, the appliance is "Energy Star" rated.

find or convert the amps from Kw.h to the actual running amp draw ... for example 2.5 amps. Volts X amps = WattsSo in this example 115 x 2.5 = 287.5 WattsSo it would run the fridge ... but you need some allowance as at start the amp draw will be higher.

Yes, the refrigerator will operate on 12v DC, however it will rapidly drain the battery if it is not receiving a replenishing charge.

Look at http://www.sunpentown.com/rf32cudodore1.html: it says 95W, 1.1 Amp. I had it plugged in to a 15 amp circuit, shared with a TV and several lights, with no problem. By the way, I have had this fridge for many years and it still works fine.

It's a 110, I bought one last year. I love this fridge, no freezer taking up space, perfect garage fridge

I'm using it for a 720 watt fridge. I think the startup on a fridge compressor would be greater than that for a garage door opener, but have nothing scientific to back that up.

I would have to see the video but I run a full size fridge all the time no problem and I would say it's more than 500 watts and the inveter works great I will look at the video and get back to you
