This is a 300 W space heater that plugs directly into outlet. Says uses

Makes no sensa - 400W leaves about 11 A available. The circuit I plan to
use also feeds the refridgerator. Should work ok, right?

Suggestions?

TIA



Personally, I'd never add such a device to a fridge circuit. If, due to a simultaneous start surge it somehow pops the breaker while you are gone, you could lose everything in it.



The bigger danger is an unattended plug-in space heater.
