I see that amps are pretty low (1 or less) and that the starting spike is 2-3 amps. Anybody run two plugged into the same outlet? It sounds like if both happened to start at the same time, it would still be ok and the breaker wouldn't trip. Thanks! null

Hi TomH,

At start up it takes 8 amps for a brief time.  If for instance the power goes out and both units draw 8 amps at start up then it could trip the circuit but that is unlikely.  It should in most cases be fine to have two plugged into the same outlet

I have a fridge and the freezer on the same outlet. No problem
