microwave wattage
my microwave says 1.5 kw power consumption and
1000 watts max output.
Which number should I use to decide on a generator to buy?

- 1.5. Get a 2kw
- Consumption obviously is what your generator needs to satisfy.
Your micro draws about the same as ours. A Honda 2kw runs it, while also charging the battery bank, but it is about all the gen can handle. You will want to make sure your water heater is on propane only, fridge on propane, and no other AC power users active. So think of 2kw as okay, but the minimum that will work.
