All of which would be utterly useless on a 120V circuit. Here, I use a kettle you put on the stove, and all the others are 120V. We stopped using stove kettles decades ago. We're a bit more advanced over here. You just pour water in and turn it on, and 3kW heats the water directly, no ****ing about with heat conducting from the stove through to the kettle, and leaving a hot stove afterwards. I thought the USA had 240V sockets in rooms where they're likely to be needed, like the kitchen? Some kitchens have a 240V 40A outlet for a stove. Mine is built-in and hardwired. So is mine, but my washing machine uses almost 3kW as it heats the water as it fills. Same with my dishwasher. Same with my tumble drier. They can plug into any socket anywhere in the house. Some older houses have 240V (15 or 20A) sockets (for window air conditioners). And where do you plug in a 2kW hoover? I plug mine in any room I'm hoovering. Probably get by with a smaller unit. Useless if you have decent carpets and/or hairy pets. |

Or in any microwave oven, it can't handle boiling water, which inevitably you get from the food. And I bet it's rather toxic. |

I don't know what the low settings are for. All the instructions I've seen - e.g. on ready meals - say "full power". There is the defrost setting, but microwaves aren't very good at defrosting as they don't heat frozen water very well. Mine thaws a frozen (already cooked) pizza extremely well, on full power. It turns a -20C pizza into a +40C pizza in 4 minutes. Only a moron would cook a pizza in a microwave. No, anyone who wants it ready more quickly. I buy the frozen pizza in the supermarket, place it in the microwave, then I can eat it in 4 minutes. Why would you think pizzas shouldn't go in microwaves?! Every foodstuff can be cooked in a microwave. |

And an LCD display which says how much I've used - it's what you use to "read the meter", which I do myself to get a discount. I think the only reason I have this modern one is a while back I changed to a dual tarriff, cheaper at evenings and weekends, which I no longer use as it's no longer the cheapest, so the meter just charges the same for both times. That dual tarriff required a more complex meter than just a spinning disk with one readout. |

What's wrong with 2kW? There are higher rating consumer units, but you have to look for them. I had a 1.2kw range hood type that worked much better than the 900w types. I think commerical units (i.e. convenience store) can be found that are 1.8kw. That said, what I find annoying is that the power control for every consumer microwave I've seen is duty cycle based. That is, so many seconds of full power followed by so many seconds of no power. Some foods and defrosting would work much better if the actual power level could be adjusted. Panasonic claims to make an inverter based design, but I'm not convinced they actually adjust the outpout power. They adjust the AVERAGE power at a rate much faster than the thermal time constant of the food. I'm unsure how magnetrons work, but what's the big deal with running them at half power? Do they have to be on full power, and also can't be cycled more quickly? I don't think you can change the operating voltage far enough to get a large enough range of power. And how would you do that anyway? I was thinking just tappings on a transformer. You'd have to use an inverter to do it efficiently. Might as well just switch the power on and off directly. Everything works at optimum efficiency or is off. Well if it doesn't like running at low power, then yes I guess cycling is better. Like an incandescent lightbulb sux at producing light at half voltage. You just get heat. Anyway, I've never used a microwave on anything other than full power - even when defrosting, which for some reason people think you have to select "defrost". Why? It just takes longer. I can defrost food much faster on full power. Break an egg into a bowl. Stick it in the microwave on high. Be ready with the cleaning supplies to get the egg off the inside of your oven. The yoke usually explodes first. If you break the yoke, the whites will explode anyway. You really have to whip it up to prevent explosion. Eggs are unusual. Most foods aren't explosive. You can get a similar effect with soup. I don't, I regularly heat soup on full power. Because that is not defrosting it is cooking, Not remotely like defrosting, methinks thou art a dill. Another weird thing my current (Hyundai 800W) microwave does is to switch off the heating completely for the last 15 seconds but continue to run the fan, light, and turntable (if you've selected at least 4 minutes time). So er like why not just remove the food 15 seconds earlier? Which I often do. Funnily enough nothing ever exploded. Might have been a design tradeoff to let the magnetron run too hot and need 15 seconds for it to cool down sufficiently. No need to make the user wait though! I'd have it switch off the turntable, lamp, and magnetron, then just run the cooling fan, like some cars do. It also means it's subtracting 15 seconds from your cooking time, which means you get the wrong cooking time. I don't remember any explosion issues with my old 600W Amana. My Panasonic Inverter on High will explode an egg faster than you can say, "oh crap, I forgot to cover the dish." Try xmas tree lights :-) |

I thought an invertor was a device to increase the voltage - like running 240V devices off a 12V car battery. It's actually a switching power supply, instead of the old heavy step up transformer, diode and capacitor system. And contrary to the other posters reply, there 'inverter' style microwave is NOT throttling the power going to the magnetron. It's still getting high voltage DC current, just like the original ones. It's better able to control the timing period for magnetron on/off cycles as well as independent control over the magnetrons required filament. the old step up transformer style fired the element with another tap on the secondary. so, if the transformer had power, both the filament and magnetron do too. No way to seperate them in that design. And why on earth would you not want to cook on full power? I've never had a reason to lower the power from the maximum of 800W. I want the meal as soon as possible! You aren't lowering or raising the power to your magnetron when you adjust those cooking settings. All you're actually doing is telling the microwaves computer how long to leave the magnetron on for. Ie: how fast does it cycle the magnetrons power state. For the old heavy ones, non 'inverter', it's opening/closing a single pole relay that controls the input on the primary coil to the step up transformer. Your 'cooking' settings determine how long that relay stays open and closes for. That's all. Anytime it's closed, your magnetron (in your case) is kicking 800watts of microwave energy. You can't adjust that. What you can adjust is how long it's firing the energy into the cooking chamber. -- Don't become the next David Brooks cyberstalking victim!

Not the same as an inverter microwave oven. That's because the inverter microwave oven is really a switching power supply based oven, instead of a bulky, heavy, inefficient step up transformer. [g] I suppose you can call it an inverter because it's taking AC mains, raising it significantly and converting it to DC which is the same thing as the original step up style was doing, but it's not having to use a bulky transformer to do it. It's also good advertising.. right? 'Ours uses 'inverter' technology!' Well, technically, so did the originals, with a single diode. [g] And, it's not outright lying, it's really got an inverter for it's power supply...so its cheaper to make, and weighs less too. But, it's not varying the power feeding the magnetron or anything like that. It's able to control magnetron power and filament power seperately, which can assist with shorter cooking times. Vs the old step up style that couldn't control them seperately, short of using an additional transformer (for the filament only) and another relay for that little transformer. In the old school style, the step up transformer has two taps. One high voltage, one low voltage. High voltage for the magnetron, low voltage for the filament. But both supplying whenever the mains was available to the transformer. So you couldn't keep the filament on to avoid warm up times while you had the magnetron itself powered down for a cycle. You can with the switching or inverter style. Which turns into more efficient cooking and less power consumed over all to do it. -- Don't become the next David Brooks cyberstalking victim!

But the difference in temp between the outside and the inside of the food would be greater and this could result in food that was both over- and under-cooked. This is why microwave ovens have low settings, so food can cook slowly and evenly. Anyone who uses a microwave a lot will be well aware of this. For items where convection can assist conduction higher power can be fine, but not for large solid lumps of food. I can't say many things I cook have large solid lumps. All ready meals are pretty much fluid, so convection and conduction can take place, and almost everything I cook is a dish of something which is only 2 inches deep. I don't know what the low settings are for. All the instructions I've seen - e.g. on ready meals - say "full power". There is the defrost setting, but microwaves aren't very good at defrosting as they don't heat frozen water very well. Mine thaws a frozen (already cooked) pizza extremely well, on full power. It turns a -20C pizza into a +40C pizza in 4 minutes. Only a moron would cook a pizza in a microwave. Or, a really smart person who like really tough pizza. The pizzas I use are already cooked. Asda does that part for me. I'm just defrosting them and bringing them to eating temperature. But if I was cooking one, there's no reason you couldn't do it in a microwave. If anything I'd say they'd end up softer not harder, as an oven tends to cook from the outside and make a hard crust. |

They were invented decades ago. Higher powered microwaves would require higher powered electric outlets, probably 220VAC (in the USA). Also it is questionable whether higher powered ovens would be practical for use. Getting warming times down to a couple of seconds might not be a good idea. More speed is not always better. Bill +1 That about covers it. Not sure how useful more power would be. For example, last night I was thawing out a tomato sauce in a quart plastic container. The Panasonic has a defrost mode that uses about 30% power and cycles that. It gets the 30% power by cycling the 100% power on 30% of the time. (By the way, adjusting the level does not actually change the wattage. It simply means the microwave will pulse on and off at its fixed wattage until the desired level is reached.) https://lifehacker.com/5974788/famil...-cooking-a-joy That was true of the first generation of Microwaves, but the current "inverter" driver units actually CAN throttle the power. Inverter microwaves are much better for defrosting AND cooking. We've had ours for about 2 years now - replacing our original that we bought in about 1985. BIG difference (but the old one would likely still be working by the time this one dies) Why is it called an invertor? I thought an invertor was a device to increase the voltage - like running 240V devices off a 12V car battery. Why do you persist in posting waffle about which you know absolutely nothing, twould be better to post on subjects you know or ask and educate yourself about the other I know what a ****ing invertor is, I built my own solar panel system. LMFAO! There it is again. Nobody else brags about you therefore, brag about yourself when nobody asked. LMFAO! Pathetic ******. I wasn't bragging, I was stating I know how inverters work. Why on earth would you see that as bragging? You have some weird mental problem. It's simple.... beginning of sentence "I know how inverters work." end of sentence See that? No requirement of why or bragging about an accomplishment. I simply stated I know how they work. If required, you could explain the process of the inverter without stating you built something. But not you.... you do man! LMFAO! I know, we all have weird mental problems because you say so. You're the best! I backed up my reasoning as yo why I know how they work. Why you see that as bragging, nobody knows. LMFAO! Pathetic ******. You're not very good at comprehending English are you? I have built a solar power system using invertors by myself. Therefore I know what an invertor is and how it works. That is a statement of fact, not bragging. |
