Amazon links here are affiliate links: we may earn a commission, at no cost to you. It does not change our numbers. How that works.
Price checked October 3, 2026; Amazon shows today’s price. This is the listing we matched to the bare unit, not a bundle.
Planning figures: a typical fridge averages about 84 W; an older furnace blower averages about 182 W. Yours may use less or more; the range is in the table below. How long other power stations run a refrigerator. A furnace blower is wired in: it needs an inlet or transfer switch fitted by an electrician.

The range behind that
This is a 1,536Wh battery with 1,800W of output, which means it stores about 1,306 watt-hours you can actually use and can run anything drawing up to 1,800 watts at once.
It runs indoors and makes no fumes. Of the 16 household loads we track, it can run 13 for at least part of a day. It would keep a refrigerator going for 3.7–65 hours, from a hard-working fridge to an efficient one.

Hours of use on one charge. Typical is the middle of our range for that appliance; the range runs from a hard-working unit to an efficient one. Short-burst loads (microwave, coffee maker, garage door) show running time at full power instead. “Starts it” means the peak output covers even a hard-starting one.
What a kilowatt-hour costs
| What | Amazon price | Usable energy | Per usable kWh |
|---|---|---|---|
| The station | $1,079 | 1,306 Wh | $826 |
Per usable kWh = Amazon price divided by usable energy. Usable energy is 85% of the maker’s battery size, the same share we use everywhere on this site. Station price checked October 3, 2026; we show prices only on the day they were checked and keep no price history.

Recall screen
No published recall names this exact model
No CPSC recall in the 2026-10-01 snapshot names this exact model. No recall in the snapshot names this brand at all, so finding nothing here says less.
This check cannot clear your own unit. Most recalls cover only certain serial numbers. Read the model and serial number off the label on the unit itself, then check the maker's recall page before you use it, sell it, or buy it.
Use the CPSC recall search.
How we know the screen was not simply blind
Finding nothing only means something if the search could have found something. So we searched the same records for this brand and got 0 recalls. No recall in the snapshot names this brand at all, so finding nothing here says less than it would for a brand that does appear.
Buying the right one

Title states 1536Wh and 1800W, matching the maker's figures exactly. Prices change: Amazon shows today’s price.
Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you buy through one we may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. It does not affect which products the planner recommends: rankings come from the sizing rules on our methodology page, and a product whose recall status is unclear is never ranked or linked, whatever the commission.
