Inverter Microwave - Current Draw vs. Power Setting
Anyone checked the current draw of their inverter microwave at a given power setting? Does a power setting of, say 50%, also drop the current draw approx. 50%? Thanks!

My wife prefers the way an inverter microwave cooks and defrosts, so looking to replace the unit in our camper. The unit we were looking at draws a bit more current than I'd like (at 100%). Just wanted to make sure we could reduce the power/current level to accommodate our inverter if need be. Thanks again.
Just did a test on my inverter mic and at full power it draws 16 amps. At 50% power it draws 8 amps. Tested with a Kill A WATT meter.
