The 2400 W surge can support typical startup events for refrigerator compressors, well pumps, and other inductive loads in the 1 to 1.5 HP range. The 1800 W continuous rating sustains moderate resistive and mixed loads once motors reach running speed. This combination handles most residential backup scenarios where brief inrush current precedes steady operation.
This unit provides a documented 2400 W surge window to handle motor inrush events without nuisance trips. LFP chemistry offers structural stability under load cycling. Source: Anker SOLIX C1000 User Manual (Output Specs) (manufacturer documentation).

Yes. The Anker SOLIX C1000 provides 1800W running / 2400W surge. The Coffee Maker needs 1761W / 1761W (including 10% buffer). That leaves 39W of running headroom and 639W of surge margin.
Approximately 0.5 hours, based on the Coffee Maker's 1600W draw and the SOLIX C1000's 1056Wh capacity (70% usable after real-world losses).
Efficiency Hack: Large appliances like the Coffee Maker cycle on and off. To maximize the 0.5 hours of runtime, try to minimize how often you open the device or introduce heat loads.
