#1 They are speaking about COOKING watts, not the watts the oven draws.
#2 Microwaves are made up to about 3000 cooking watts, and draw about 21 amps
at 220 volts.
#3 The OP has limited space where they want to install the oven.
#4 Most appliances run on 110v and are limited to standard 15 amp receptacles,
thus, 1500 watts.
#5 If how much an oven can hold were the only criteria, oh, why bother...
Mr troutman... What are you talking about?We don't have 220 VAC in truck campers
All of our appliances that run on 110VAC... that is why that I told the OP what I did... it's accurate. Our appliances plug into standard 15 amp recepticles.... limited to 1500 watts.
Most Microwave ovens in truck campers are 1000 Watts or 1100 Watts of cooking power...
And... if your cassarole dish won't fit in the microwave may be useless for you, maybe your favorite coffie cup is tall. Some of the microwave ovens are too small, to big, to shallow, too heavy... who knows but the guy that has to install and use it.
