What to Know About the Slow Cooker
Power Profile
Running load: 300 W. Surge: 300 W (resistive heating element). Voltage: 120 V AC required. Power station must supply clean AC output at this voltage and sustain 300 W continuous draw.
Real-World Usage
Resistive load remains steady throughout the cook cycle. Usage over 6 hours per day consumes approximately 1800 Wh daily.
Pro Tip
Ensure at least 400 W inverter capacity for headroom. Verify power station supports multi-hour AC loads without thermal shutdown.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many power stations can run a Slow Cooker?
Out of 33 portable power stations we tested, 33 can safely run a Slow Cooker (29 with full safety margin, 4 at tight margin). 0 are incompatible.
What specs should I look for to run a Slow Cooker?
Your power station needs at least 300W continuous output and 300W surge capacity. We recommend a safety buffer of 10% above these minimums for reliable operation.
How do we test compatibility?
Every pairing is evaluated using our True Surge protocol: we compare OEM-verified running watts, surge watts, and voltage requirements against each power station's published specs, with load-profile-specific safety buffers applied. Read our full methodology.
Can I run this slow cooker on a portable power station?
Only if your power source can supply at least 300W continuous and 300W surge at 120V.
