Freezer chest startup surge power requirements

Went back and read some reviews of the generator (Sportsman Inverter 800/1000w). Several reviewers commented they are using it to run full size fridge/freezers, and one reviewer reported running two upright freezers simultaneously.

Will report back how well it works.
 
I have a Sportsman 7,500 watt dual fuel that I bought from Home Depot several years ago. Have not had to use it as yet.
However when I tested it, it would start, run for about 30 secs, then die. No matter if propane or gas, so I thought something was wrong with carb.
Turned out that it has a bit of a design issue. You actually have to overfill the oil, because if you just fill it to where you would normally think it is full, the low oil warning switch shuts it off.
Once I did that it runs fine.
