True, but setting up for the smaller microwave is easier, takes a smaller less expensive bank, a smaller less expensive inverter ( especially if PSW) and smaller cabling too. That extends right on out to the solar as the smaller the bank, the less solar you need. You can save a lot of money and space nuking a can of corn a extra minute.

I still don't buy it.  We need someone to put both a 1000W and a 500/600/700 W microwaves on a Kill-a-watt meter and see the true power draw.  I think it will surprise some vanners.

I have the kill a watt but my two microwaves are 900 and 1100 watt models. Maybe they will let me take the Kill A Watt into home depot.
