Answer If, when you state "...240 watt 2.0amp..." you are indicating that 2 amps, or 240 watts at 120 volts, then that inverter will power a device which does NOT draw more than that amount of current. Check the plate or label on the compact fridge you want to power, and find the maximum current draw. For appliances, it will usually be stated in amps, rather than watts. If that amount is equal to or less than the output of your inverter, then it should work. Also, pay attention to the maximum current used by the appliance, versus the continuous output figure for the inverter, NOT the peak momentary output.

1000 watt generator power can it power a compact fridge?

yes, it has an output of 20 amps @ 120v so it will power any standard refrigerator. I believe a 900 Watt Generator will only handle 7.5 amps at 120 Volts.
