Yes, should be no problem. I presume you would want to keep your
fridge/freezer going as well?

An 850W genset might struggle to start a larger fridge/freezer
especially if it already has some load on it. Rule of thumb, motors
need 2 to 3 times their rated power to start.

Inverter and battery is another solution but difficult to "refuel"
once the battery is flat. The genset can just have some more
petrol/oil poured in...
