I looked up the page and it gets worse.

You will need to shop for a car inverter. Find one that is at least 1,500 watts, and it will help you power your refrigerator for up to five hours—usually without damaging your car battery. Considering how much food we keep in our refrigerators, a $200 car inverter is a bargain!

Another source says they hold around 700 Wh. So not even 30 minutes actually

If your fridge uses 1.4KW you need a new fridge.

Nah if the fridge starts cold and you aren't constantly opening the door you can easily get 5 hours on a car battery.

At least they don't run constantly?
