   My old Summit dorm-room-sized refrigerator ran without difficulty on   
   an APC1400 900W/1400VA true sine UPS.during extended power outages. I   
   recently bought a new 4.3 cubic foot Magic Chef which the manual says   
   "is not designed to be used with an inverter." Their well informed   
   service rep was noncomittal on the subject. I found that it starts and   
   runs fine on my inverter, and uses less current than and so far 2/3   
   the energy of the Summit.   
      
   What has your experience been with refrigerators on inverters?
