What goes with portable power station

RefrigeratorVerdict: YES, WITH LIMITSYes, if the station supplies the AC voltage and frequency your refrigerator requires, its continuous output covers the total running load, and its surge rating covers compressor startup. Plug the refrigerator directly into the station and follow both manuals’ grounding and inverter restrictions. Make sure the battery has enough usable capacity for the needed runtime; if the station trips or the compressor repeatedly fails to start, disconnect it and use a larger unit.
Space HeaterVerdict: YES, WITH LIMITSYes, with limits. Use it only if both manuals permit the connection and the heater’s selected setting, plus every other connected load, stays within the station’s continuous AC rating. Runtime may be brief because space heaters draw substantial power; a lower heat setting lasts longer. Plug the heater directly into the station without an extension cord or power strip.
