What size power station to run a Electric range (one burner)?

Typical draw: 1500W running. Sized below for a 2-hour run — drag the slider for your real runtime. One large burner on high. Full ranges with oven can exceed 5000W — usually not generator territory.

3,950 Wh
Look for ≥3,950Wh capacity, ~1,500W continuous / 1,500W surge or better.

Right size: Expandable home backup (≈6,000Wh+) · 5,000W

Typical price $3,500-6,000+ · e.g. EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra, Bluetti AC500 + B300S (stackable)

Backing up whole circuits through a transfer switch; add battery modules for days of autonomy, especially with solar. A home-backup system, not a grab-and-go unit. For 240V loads or true whole-home coverage, compare against a standby generator.

Runs this load ~3.1 h on a full charge.

Adjust your loadout and runtime

Real setups aren't one appliance. Add loads and set your runtime below — your Electric range (one burner) is pre-checked.

Capacity includes inverter loss (~15%) and a usable-charge margin, so the station isn't run flat. A solar panel or vehicle charge extends runtime past this number.
