    I found that anything under 1,800 Watts had a hard time starting refrigerators without burning out the compressor after a month or two. Once I got big enough inverter, the fridges last.
    I went to a pure sine wave inverter after a bought an induction cook top. The electronics in it would not work on my old modified sine wave inverter. But would work fine at home. I bought the 2500 pure sine wave Go Power inverter and everything works great. As an added bonus, I noticed that the microwave didn’t buzz anymore, and the inverter didn’t interfere with my CB radio reception.

    Fridge/freezer needs a lot to start, but doesn’t use much to run,( 1,800 w to start , 200 w to run ) in my experience.
    Microwave needs less than 1,000 w
    Laptop only about 70 w
    Cook top or skillet can use up to 1,650 w depending on model.
    So I would say 2,000 watt minimum.
