Welcome to the forums.
Have you measured the microwave draw with a kill-a-watt meter?
It may be 1500 watts.
Inverters are sold in VA just like generators. VA is not the same as watts.
I'm partial to hybrid inverter/chargers because then I can prevent overloading shore power and it allows me to run the water heater and the microwave at the same time on a 15 amp shore power supply.
The smallest hybrid I've seen is 3000 VA (watts on the label).
