Model-Specific Results
2 of 3 models are SAFE or TIGHT. Most demanding model: Ninja Foodi OP301 (TenderCrisp, 6.5 Qt) (1,460W surge).
| Model | Running | Surge | Verdict | Runtime | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Instant Pot Duo 6QT | 1,000W | 1,000W | Safe | ~0.5h | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 1000 W. **Surge:** 1000 W. Requires 120V AC output. Power station must supply continuous 1000 W with stable voltage regulation under resistive heating load. Field note: The classic Duo is the lightest multi-cooker load at 1000W. Most power stations rated 1200W+ handle it without issue. Can I use a 1000 W power station with this Instant Pot? Only if your power source can supply at least 1000W continuous and 1000W surge at 120V. | |||||
| Breville Fast Slow Pro BPR700BSS | 1,100W | 1,100W | Tight | ~0.5h | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 1100 W. **Surge:** 1100 W. Requires 120V AC output. Resistive heating element with no motor inrush. Dual temperature and pressure sensors regulate heat cycling but peak draw remains 1100 W. Field note: Premium multi-cooker with 11 pressure settings. At 1100W it sits between the Instant Pot Duo (1000W) and higher-wattage air fryer combos. Most 1500W stations handle it comfortably. Is the Breville Fast Slow Pro harder to run than an Instant Pot? Slightly — it draws 1100W vs 1000W for the standard Duo. Any power station rated 1200W+ continuous handles both without issue. | |||||
| Ninja Foodi OP301 (TenderCrisp, 6.5 Qt) | 1,460W | 1,460W | Fail | — | OEM Manual |
Show expert analysisTechnical: **Running load:** 1460 W. **Surge:** 1460 W. Requires 120V AC output. The 1460W nameplate reflects the air crisp lid at full heat. Pressure-cook-only mode draws less, but the generator must handle the rated maximum since any mode can be activated. Field note: The Ninja Foodi is the heaviest multi-cooker load due to its integrated air fryer element. A 1500W-rated station will run it, but with minimal headroom. 2000W stations are safer for extended use. Does pressure cooking on the Ninja Foodi draw the full 1460W? Pressure-only mode draws less than 1460W, but we rate at nameplate because the air crisp lid can be activated at any time. Your power station must handle 1460W continuous. | |||||

Generator Insights
The 1600W surge rating can support startup sequences for refrigerator compressors, well pumps, and similar inductive motor loads that draw 25 to 33 percent over running current during initial engagement. Once running, the 1200W continuous output can handle typical kitchen appliances, electronics, and power tools within rated limits. This combination addresses both inrush events and sustained runtime needs in backup scenarios.
This unit uses LFP chemistry, a battery architecture chosen for thermal stability in consumer power stations. The 768Wh capacity and 1200W continuous output allow sustained operation without thermal stress under typical residential loads. Source: Anker SOLIX C800 Plus Tech Specs (manufacturer documentation).

Technical Analysis
Spec-Based • No GuaranteesTechnical Breakdown
Running load: 1460 W continuous (worst case). Surge: 1460 W (resistive heating element, no motor start spike). Voltage: 120 V AC required. Multi-cookers range from 1000W (basic pressure cooker) to 1460W (pressure + air fryer combo).
Expected Behavior
Estimated runtime: ~0.4h. Load depends on cooking mode: pressure-only models draw 1000-1100W, air fryer combos draw up to 1460W. One hour daily operation consumes 1000-1460 Wh. Load is steady with no inrush spike.
Field Note
Check which model you own before sizing your power station. A basic Instant Pot Duo (1000W) needs far less capacity than a Ninja Foodi with crisping lid (1460W).
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Anker SOLIX C800 Plus power an Instant Pot?
It depends on the model. 2 of 3 Instant Pot (6 Qt) models are compatible with the Anker SOLIX C800 Plus. See the model-specific results table for exact verdicts per model.
How long will the SOLIX C800 Plus run an Instant Pot?
It depends on the model. Compatible models run approximately 0.5–0.5 hours on the SOLIX C800 Plus. 1 of 3 models are not compatible. See the model-specific results for details.
Efficiency Hack: Large appliances like the Instant Pot (6 Qt) cycle on and off. To maximize the 0.4 hours of runtime, try to minimize how often you open the device or introduce heat loads.
