Many MW brands do run ok on MSW though. My Sharp and Danby's do just fine on MSW but of course they cook faster with PSW.
It is hard to compare times for re-heating food as opposed to a real number like for boiling water. "Hot enough to eat" is a wide range, so if you usually get it too hot then "just right" can be fewer minutes. Stick a knife in a spud to see if it is soft enough. How soft is soft in minutes? And it gets softer after you finish with the MWing anyway. So in real life it isn't much longer with MSW for most things.
Unlike Mex, I don't use the MW for coffee water heating. I use an electric kettle which works the same on MSW as PSW.
I had a PSW inverter for a while (RIP :( ) but it turns out nothing we own needs it, so MSW is fine for us.
I did get a little gizmo that plays records and tapes to record on your computer so you can make CDs, and it turned out the record player ran too slow on the MSW so everything sounded funny. Must be like the problem with electric clocks I guess. That was the only "issue" that showed up.
