Update: I decided to purchase a mini fridge. I did some testing with a meter I have that measures wattage. The fridge I purchased is 1.7 cubic ft. It draws a little less than 100 watts while running. I was very surprised to discover that the start up wattage jumped to 1,000 watts.
I would need a minimum of 1,000 watt inverter to run this fridge. I'm going to hold off for now to see if I can get by without it.
Thanks for your replies.
Hey, gramps, what model did you get and from Costco?
I got it from Amazon Canada. It's a Danby DAR017A2BDD Compact All Refrigerator.
