I need a microwave oven that is compatable with the honda 2000i. The genset will not run my 1100 watt panosonic microwave even though I by pass the main power panel and plug it straight to the microwave.

I have a internal 4KW genset but would not prefer to use it.

What brand and wattage micowave will work with the honda 2000i wired though the main power panel?

thank you experts!

Our 1100 watt home microwave draws about 1600VA. That''s pretty much the limit for a honda 2000. You'd need to turn virtually everything else in the trailer off, including the charger. The panasonic inverter models all should run off the honda 2000. You would need to turn the power level down some on the 1100 watt model but since they actually vary the magentron output rather than cycling between 0 and 100% power you can run it off the honda 2000. In fact we run the panasonic 950w small inverter model off a 1000W sine wave inverter. Just set the power level to 50% or less and it runs fine. At 50% power it draws 850VA.
