Short answers to common power questions, worked out from manufacturers’ listed specs and official safety sources, with every source linked. Nothing here is hands-on tested.
Using our runtime calculator’s formula, the 17 power stations we list that have an AC outlet would run an example full-size fridge (150 W, compressor on 30% of the time) for about 4 to 29 hours, and an example compact fridge (80 W, on 35% of the time) for about 7 to 42 hours.
Add up the running watts of everything you want on at the same time and pick a station whose continuous rating covers that total and whose surge rating covers your fridge’s starting watts.
Yes, in your carry-on bag only.
Often, yes, if the station has an AC outlet: ResMed lists a typical power consumption of 56.1 W for the AirSense 11 (73.2 W peak) and 53 W for the AirSense 10 (104 W peak), well under the 300 W or more continuous rating of every station we list that has an AC outlet.
