The lowest list price that runs it for at least 24 hours: the Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus at $699 (26 hours). 9 can't run it or start it. 4 don't publish a surge rating, so we can't say whether they would start it.

Brand doesn't publish a surge rating (4)

Starting your list needs more than these units' continuous rating, and their makers don't publish a surge figure, so we can't say whether they'd start it.
