An ENERGY STAR 10.1 cu ft chest freezer uses 213 kWh a year (ENERGY STAR), about 24.3 W. The US average is 570 kWh (EIA), about 65 W. For yours: kWh a year ÷ 8.76.

A full freezer stays safe about 48 hours with the door shut (FoodSafety.gov), so running it in shifts works.

Quick answers

How long will a 2,000 Wh power station run a chest freezer?

About 3 days for an ENERGY STAR 10.1 cu ft model on the Jackery Explorer 2000 v2, or 26.7 h for the average US freezer in use.

Does a chest freezer use less power than a fridge?

Often, but not always. EIA’s averages are 570 kWh a year for freezers and 617 kWh for most-used fridges; a new ENERGY STAR chest freezer can use far less.
