Worth noticing
The sample load combines six appliance types and estimates 8 hours 4 minutes at a displayed 108 W average load.

Field notes

The runtime example exposes its assumptions, including 85% efficiency and a 1,024 Wh battery, rather than presenting a number without context. The appliance reference distinguishes average use from running watts and notes that compressors cycle on and off; model entries cover products from Anker, Bluetti, EcoFlow, and Jackery.
