The booklet says 800W max in a microwave / mine is 1200W. Can I use it in my microwave?

I've used it for months in a 1200 W microwave. No problems. I hadn't seen the W limit before

Decreasing the time has worked out great for me, I use a time conversion chart that I found on www.microwavecookingforone.com.

You should be able to lower the power of your microwave, no? My microwave is a 1200W as well and I just use it on max. No problems.

I have a 1200 and use it in mine. I don't cook on hi for a long period of time. I tend to use a lesser power and mainly steam.

I am sorry to reply you so late. Yes there is no any problem to use in microwave.

It has a 15 amp rating, or about 1500 watts. (Watts = Amps X Volts; household current is about 115 volts). If the microwave is something designed for household kitchens, it will be fine. I think most microwaves are about 750 watts. There might be smaller units available. This one is designed for computer use; it has extra features for telephones, etc. You might try this one: Tripp Lite 1 Outlet Portable Direct Plug-in Surge Protector/Suppressor 600 Joules (SPIKECUBE)

Yes, that's how I used mine. It's definitely NOT for use in a microwave, though.

Depends on watts of microwave. I do 4minutes for 1100-1200. 6 minutes for 800-850. Hope that helps.

What wattage is your microwave? Mine is 1000 watts and I did 4 minutes (I think). I have not used them this year yet. Be sure to remove the cover before microwaving. The microwave part will be very warm. Handle with care - use pot holder if necessary.

Maximum wattage with 110v is 1800. My 3000W will literally heat water at least 3 times faster than a 1500W microwave. Most of the time I never use more than 1200W and when I do not even to 1800W. I am absolutely delighted with the unit that I have, although not perfect, the shortcomings are quite minor.

I am fairly certain this should only be heated in a microwave oven. But, I would suggest that you write to the manufacturer to be sure!

I'm sure that is max for the unit. Using two 1200W devices isn't the problem, the issue would be how many amps they'll draw when in use. For example, if you connected two 1200W grills, it'll not work due to the amps.

My microwave is 900 watts and instructions are for 1000 watts what power label may use it? 70% 80? Please help I am very confused. Thanks.

The microwave works perfectly on "shore" power and is currently working on a 1000w Modified Square Wave inverter. It's noisy and takes longer to cook, but other than that it's fine. I've been using microwave ovens on msw inverters for over 20 years and haven't had one fail yet. I spent 1 month in Alaska with this setup and used the microwave multiple times per day without a problem. I believe the 1000 watt msw inverter is able to run the microwave where the pure sine wave will not is due to the "surge capacity" of the msw. Both inverters are drawing about 100 amps at the 12v source. This means a cheap 600 or 700 watt Wal-Mart microwave is actually drawing 1200 watts, allowing for inefficiency in the inverter. I've owned lots of inverters and there is a HUGE difference in what they can actually run. Pure sine wave inverters all seem to be overrated. I have two 1500 watt msw inverters right now. One is a Cobra and the other is branded, "Trisonic". The weird, never-heard-of Chinese brand, "Trisonic" will run my worm drive skill saw, and the Cobra immediately shuts down with an overload condition. Sorry I went on for so long, but I hope this is helpful to someone.

yes, you can use a standard outlet and as far as the 840 watts - consider that most microwave ovens today use between 850 - 1650 watts.

My microwave is also 1100 watts. I add a good inch of water to any pasta and cook at 90% power for the time on the box. Then check and most likely add another minute or two for al dente. Recently I cooked 12oz. ziti this way and it worked fine.

Most microwaves are 1500 watts. If they plug into a regular outlet they are 120 volt. If you divide the 1500 by 120 you get 12.5 amps. Too much for a 7 amp cord. This cord is for 220 volt appliances (mostly commercial)- not for 120 volt appliances.

Hey Dawn - there are 1100 watts for this microwave. We love it - it was a great price and does everything we need!

I think it was 700 watt. Worst microwave oven that I ever owned. Bad experience, do not recommend.

GE Product information says it is 1800 watts. Seems rather high to me, perhaps check with GE Customer Service to verify. I have owned several over-the-range microwaves, most were 1500.
