Starting watts and continuous watts are the two sorts of watts that we need to understand. The extra power required to start a motor, such as a refrigerator, air conditioner, or washing machine, is known as starting watts.
It continues to run on less power after the initial start-up. We refer to the sustained wattage used to run the device as “continuous wattage.”
With that in mind, you can plug in a light bulb, cell phone charger, laptop,
LED TV under 50 inches, a fan, radio, and a continuously running freezer in less than 100 watts.
For under 500-watts, you can run screen LED TVs between 50 -80 inches, a water pump, desktop computer, rice cooker, blender, and continuously running a refrigerator.
Meanwhile, you can power up a printer, toaster, waffle maker or panini press, washing machine, vacuum, and a refrigerator for less than 1,000 watts.
You can plug in a small air conditioner, printer, coffee maker, dishwasher, clothes iron, and microwave for less than 2,000 watts. An estimated 3,000 watts can run a space heater and a small water heater.
Just be reminded that what I have here are only educated guesses. The wattage of your appliances may vary, especially if they are branded ‘energy-efficient.’ Before utilizing a generator, double-check the wattage.
