Microwave that a Honda EU1000i will run

Look for an inverter microwave. With those, when you select a lower power on the microwave, it actually lowers the power, not cycle the high power on and off like most others ones.

I know the first response will be get a bigger generator but the 1000 does everything we need except running a microwave and it stores in the limited room we have.

Tried a Sunbeam SGS90701B-B 0.7-Cubic Foot 700 Watt Microwave but it will only run about 20 seconds and then the generator trips.

Is there any low draw microwaves out there?

I've owned an EU2000i previously and now have another one ... before each purchase I too carefully examined whether I could get away with a lighter weight, somewhat less costly EU1000i and both times concluded the 2K made more sense. The 1K would likely have handled my battery recharging tasks but it won't run my wife's hairdryer, which I've been told is of "vital" importance. :R Aside from a 1K not being able to run the trailer's microwave oven it's also marginal for other appliances that we like to use even while dry camping - toaster, Tassimo coffee machine, etc. The 2K will handle all of these with no effort at all - I just plug the trailer into my EU2000i and while it's running the trailer behaves no differently than if it were plugged into shore power. Although I'm now quite a bit older than I used to be I'm not dead yet (at least I wasn't the last time I checked ;) ) so I'll happily lift a 50 lb EU2000i instead of a 30 lb EU1000i for the clear advantages it offers. To each his / her own. :B

Plus the cost difference between the 1K and 2 K isn't very much at all. With two 1Ks, you are still very limited as to what you can run. With two 2Ks, you have all the power that a typical TT will need in almost any situation.

For me, this decision is a no brainer.
Dual 2Ks and an extended run tank.:B My TT came with a lot of nice features and capabilities that I paid good money for. In order to actually use and enjoy it to the fullest extent.. It requires enough power. Without that, I might as well have bought a cargo TT and thrown a bed in it.
