I use a small 120V dorm fridge. I tried using a new Samlex PS 600W inverter and it could not overcome the Lock Rotor Draw. I replaced it with a Xantrex PS 1000W inverter and now it runs fine.
I'd suggest to get a larger inverter than what's just necessary to run the appliance. The idle draw difference is insignificant and durability/longevity will be better.
