# Willrun

> Willrun answers whether a specific portable power station or generator can run a specific appliance, using published running and starting watts, an 85% inverter allowance for stations, and 30 amp inlet math for home backup.

Willrun is a static site. Every station and appliance row cites a manufacturer or ENERGY STAR URL. Runtime is nameplate watt-hours times 0.85, divided by average draw. Verdicts are runs, runs with surge risk, won't run, or no run verdict when running watts were not published.

## Start here
- [Calculator](https://willitrunpower.com/): pick a station, add appliances, read the verdict.
- [Methodology](https://willitrunpower.com/methodology): the 0.85 allowance, duty cycle, and how surge is treated.
- [Stations](https://willitrunpower.com/stations): 24 models.
- [Appliances](https://willitrunpower.com/appliances): 40 loads.

## Guides
- [Best power station for a fridge](https://willitrunpower.com/best-power-station-for/fridge): For the Danby 3.2 cu ft fridge with a published 66.4 W draw, every station in this set can cover the running watts, and the longest runtimes belong to the largest packs — but startup watts were not published, so every one of those answers is a surge risk.
- [Best power station for a CPAP](https://willitrunpower.com/best-power-station-for/cpap): Every station in this set can run an AirSense 11 at the user guide's 56.1 W typical and 73.2 W peak, and the longest nights come from the largest packs, not the highest inverter rating.
- [Best power station for camping](https://willitrunpower.com/best-power-station-for/camping): For a carried campsite, the EcoFlow RIVER 2 (7.7 lb, 256 Wh) and Anker SOLIX C300 (288 Wh) cover a CPAP and lights; a Danby compact fridge pushes you toward the RIVER 2 Pro, DELTA 2, or AC180 if you can spare the weight.
- [Best power station for an RV](https://willitrunpower.com/best-power-station-for/rv): An 8,000 Btu/h BLACK+DECKER window unit draws about 533 W while cooling. Stations at or above 600 W continuous can hold that running load, and the DELTA Pro 3 and F3800 add 120/240 V outlets the smaller packs do not have. None of them publish a match for the compressor's startup watts.
- [Best power station for home backup](https://willitrunpower.com/best-power-station-for/home-backup): On stored energy alone, the EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3 (4,096 Wh) outlasts the Anker SOLIX F3800 (3,840 Wh), while the F3800 has the higher continuous output at 6,000 W. A 1,500 W Lasko heater needs at least 1,500 W continuous or a documented resistive boost.
- [Best power station for a sump pump](https://willitrunpower.com/best-power-station-for/sump-pump): The Zoeller Model 53 at 115 V draws 1,115.5 W while running. Stations under that — including the RIVER 2 series, the AC70, and the Yeti 500X — will not hold it. Stations above it still carry a surge risk because Zoeller does not publish starting amps.

## Outages
- [24-hour outage](https://willitrunpower.com/outage/24-hour): EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max, EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3, BLUETTI AC200L, Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus, Jackery Explorer 2000 v2, Anker SOLIX F2000 (PowerHouse 767), Anker SOLIX F3800 have enough nameplate watt-hours, after the 85% allowance, for this 24-hour mix (1,608 Wh of load).
- [3-day outage](https://willitrunpower.com/outage/3-day): No base unit in this set stores enough for this mix. The load is 4,823 Wh, which needs about 5,675 Wh of nameplate capacity after the 85% allowance, and nothing here is that large without an extra battery.
