hope this list helps .approximate values for the running wattage of common
household appliances: a generator needs to have enough power output to handle
the start up wattage (approximate 2 to 3 times the values the start up is
normally the max it will run Output: 800w while the load is the rated Output:
700w the unit i have shown is not able to run a fridge and tv together but
will run the TV but would be pushing to handle the fridge just on its own
