If you are looking at the Magic Chef model HMDR1000BE, the specs say it needs a 15 amp circuit. I haven’t been able to find the actual run/start current draw yet but if it truly needs 15 amps, you need at least an 1800 watt inverter. And I’ve read that most of the newer residential models require a pure sine wave.
Motors (like the compressor in a refrigerator) run better on pure sine wave inverters.
If the owners manual say it need a dedicated 15A circuit in your house (very hard to believe on even larger refrigerators), I would get a GOOD 2000W inverter.
