Modeled runtime, reference loads
Full-Size Refrigerator · 150W
Modern 18–22 cu ft units average 100–200W while the compressor runs, cycling roughly a third of each hour. The 1,000W+ startup surge is what disqualifies small stations — capacity is rarely the first problem.
CPAP Machine (no humidifier) · 40W
A bare CPAP draws 30–60W. Turning on the heated humidifier roughly triples draw to ~90–150W — budget for it if you use one. Use the DC adapter where available; it skips inverter losses and buys ~20% more runtime.
The verdict
Buy the EcoFlow DELTA 2 if you want the better all-rounder — it takes the WattScore 88 to 86 on our bench, and it's the stronger pick for all-round home backup starter.
The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 still makes sense if its strengths line up with your use case — it's positioned as lightest 1kWh-class station, and per-row wins in the table above show exactly where it pulls ahead. Cross-check both against your actual loads with the runtime calculator before deciding.
