Modern fridges (within the last 10-15 yrs) don't tend to use as much power as their old counterparts. I put mine on a kill-a-watt and even when the condenser is running, it only pulls about 125W
I have this generator and 1000W is max surge. It is rated 800W continuous and before buying I read that someone took it apart and the inverter module is really only good for 700-750.
Therefore I wouldn't expect anything more than 700W for reliable operation.
2000W would be a much safer bet (although more expensive) for your portable.
I did so to check & verify several things, one being the watt rating on the inverter module. Even the included manual listed the inverter module as only having a 700 watt limit rating (NOT 800 watts, nor 1000 watts). See attached pic for manual's 700 watt inverter module rating. (0.7kw = 700 watts)
I did numerous load tests upon running the generator and found it would only put out approx 675-685 watts before the engine cut out (stopped) due to "overload". All tests were done with stable 'resistance-type' loads.Therefore, the top wattage I could get out of this generator (as many others have also experienced) was 685 watts MAX.
