Mr Wiz - I haven't seen MW smaller than 700W "cooking power", i.e. about 1000W input power. Make it 1,100W after inverter losses. There were some reports on very small MW that uses a different wave length. It takes very low current but it's tiny, you can barely fit a cup of milk in there.
I have read some new microwaves now can cook at a lower power setting and draw less power. The old style would just cycle the magnetron on full or off to create lower power settings. Can't say what models do this or what to look for.
