How long will the EcoFlow River 3 run a full-size fridge?

Will the EcoFlow River 3 run a full-size fridge?

Yes — the River 3 runs a full-size fridge comfortably

Its 300W continuous output easily covers the 150W draw, with 600W of surge on tap for startup.

Estimated runtime
about 1.3 hours
on a single full charge
Est. usable (AC): 188 Wh
Appliance draw: 150 W
Continuous output: 300 W

How we calculated this

We start from the EcoFlow River 3's 188 Wh of estimated usable energy at the outlet — its 245 Wh rating, derated for a safe depth of discharge and ~15% inverter loss — then divide by the full-size fridge's 150W draw:

188 Wh ÷ 150 W ≈ 1.3 hours

Heads up: a full-size fridge is a motor/compressor load that spikes 2–3× on startup. The EcoFlow River 3's 300W continuous / 600W surge output has plenty of headroom for that spike.

Real-world runtime varies with temperature, cable losses, and how hard the appliance actually cycles. Treat this as a solid estimate, not a guarantee.
