Is a microwave "more efficient" at heating water ?

If so, can anyone see a time where
the heat source for a home water heater
would be microwave rather than heating elements ?

The microwave heats faster cause there is no warm-up time.

No
AND be carefull to never heat plain water in a MW as it may damn near
"explode" when you go to use it due to surface tension issue.
I.E. put cocoa in before heating, ditto tea bag.

Excellent advice, if you like cocoa all over the inside of the microwave.
Otherwise - not so much.



I made what appears to be a rash assumption for some folks.
That the user is smart enough to not run the MW for too long a period.
