What to Know About the Toaster Oven
Power Profile
Running range: 1400W to 1800W depending on size and heating element configuration. Surge: equals running watts — toaster ovens are pure heating element loads with no motor inrush spike. Voltage: 120V AC for all US residential models.
Real-World Usage
Toaster ovens draw near-maximum wattage during preheat and high-temperature cooking, then may cycle elements to maintain temperature. Air fry and convection modes add a small fan but power draw remains dominated by heating elements. At 0.3 hours daily use, energy consumption ranges from 420 to 540 Wh.
Pro Tip
Toaster ovens are among the simplest loads for power stations — steady draw, no startup surge, no compressor cycling. The only challenge is the high continuous wattage. A 1800W toaster oven needs a station rated for at least 1800W continuous, not just peak. Size for continuous output, not surge.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many power stations can run a Toaster Oven?
Out of 33 portable power stations we tested, 21 can safely run a Toaster Oven (16 with full safety margin, 5 at tight margin). 12 are incompatible.
What specs should I look for to run a Toaster Oven?
Your power station needs at least 1,800W continuous output and 1,800W 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.
What size power station do I need for a toaster oven?
Only if your power source can supply at least 1800W continuous at 120V. Toaster ovens have no startup surge — the running wattage is the only number that matters. Compact models draw less and work with smaller stations.
