Google does not seem to find any UK microwaves over 1,000 watt output.
US full size units are also 1,000 watt output.


An interesting statement that. Of course you are aware that 1000W
microwave output usually translates into about 2000W absorbed energy, in
which case, presumably the "full size" US units you refer to have to be
specially catered for rather than just plugged into a standard circuit?

The very smallest microwave you can generally get in this country is
650W output which probably makes for 1300W energy consumption, which is
interestingly close to the nominal 1500W capacity of a standard 120V US
circuit.

Hwyl!
