I don't need a MW, but the usual 600W to 900W in domestic ovens is

Microwave heating instructions usually say what power they're for. Most
I've seen recently say 1 or 1.1KW. Maybe that's the normal for the new
units.

BTW, I have a 700W microwave about 30 years old.

The heating instructions are based on what is commercially available.
If there were 2kW units around, they'd have those listed too, with
shorter cooking times.

have you tried your dick in the micro yet ,
set it on high for 30 seconds ,
that will tell you if the microwave is ,
heating quickly enough
