the Sharp MW that came in our 2003 5er ran ok on MSW and so do other newer ones we have tried at times by Danby and Kenmore. Perhaps there was a change in MW design in the mid-90s or whenever?
It's often reported that they run, but at 1/2 power.
I did some tests on that measuring temp vs time in a cup of water and it did take longer to heat up with MSW. Was better than 1/2 time ISTR.
With actual use compared with at home, things seem to only take a little longer, so you hardly notice any difference. In fact, it takes the same time to get things hot enough to eat we find. With PSW you could get things too hot in the same time. All very subjective and situational.
So if anybody says his MW works fine on MSW it does work fine for him. YMMV, you are the only one who would know that, depending on what you do with MWs.
