Microwave that a Honda EU1000i will run
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-...

Hi Crumm,
Quite a few years back I had a small Sharp microwave in my class B called a "Half Pint". It was rated at 600W (cooking power) and as I recall the actual current draw was around 850W. My EU2000i ran it effortlessly and I bet the 1000 would too... as long as Eco Throttle was turned off.
The Half Pint is no longer in production, but there are lots of them on Ebay and Craigslist.
Cheers

The "claimed" running wattage of my (1999) Honda 1000i is 900 watts.
However, IMO - it's about 800 watts.
That could be due to age, not in x'lnt tune, etc.
Still have it - along with newer gens (and more capacity).
Before purchasing another MW - run some gradual tests working your way up to the magical 850W - with items that do not produce a surge.
It may be time for your choice of a Plan B - whatever that may be..:W
