How many amps does this draw when compressor is running? I'm thinking of using a generator ro run this at times and need to know if I have enough generator power to do so.

I don't know what the specifications are on this unit but every modern mini fridge in this size range I've seen uses 100 watts or less when running. If you want to use a power inverter or generator, I would use use at a bare minimum a 300 watt unit (more is better) as the motors typically require 3-4 times the running wattage briefly to get the motor moving.
