My microwave is 1800w. Can I use this in it or is that too much wattage?

1800 w is a little surprising. I didn't know microwaves could have that much wattage. it should be used by 900 to 1000 w. Maybe you can cook on a lower grade like 50 or 75 %.

1800 watts might be the input power (what it draws from the wall). The important number is the output power (what it dumps into the cooking cavity inside), which will be lower. The output power should be on a label or in the manual somewhere.

I have a 1200 watt microwave and I used 90% power, took 4 minutes for 1,have not done 2 at the same time

Harry, the 110 watts is the maximum wattage. Unless you are planning on running it at full volume you should be fine with it.

I've read that you should only use a converter for up to half the rated power output, so anything up to 150 watt would be OK. So, I'd suggest you get a more powerful converter, e.g. 500 W.

Sorry but I don't currently have the microwave...left it with my old roommate because the place I moved into had a built in one. I believe it's already set for full power, you just put the time in and hit start

I've used it for months in a 1200 W microwave. No problems. I hadn't seen the W limit before

Yes I use a 700 watt microwave full power for 7 min to completely cook my pasta, note I have only a few times cooked store bought pasta but my homemade pasta dried cooks nicely.

You should use the 11 watts as the instructions say. If you use a higher watt, you could damage the light

You cannot unless you have a converter - not an adaptor, a converter. Device is 96 Watts when heating, so you will need a 100 Watts power (or voltage) converter.

This item is designed for 120V systems. Exposure to 230V power would probably damage the unit and create a fire risk. If you will use a voltage converter, make sure it actually steps down the voltage to 120 (not just a plug adapter) and that it can handle a *lot* of power, as this waffle maker takes 1750W. Best bet would be to contact the company and see if they make a 230V-friendly version.

We did at first because ours was a 1200 watt, now we don't . It does just as good, especially since your was just 1100 to begin with. It is good microwave. The only thing i wish was the turn table, it gets off track & can be annoying to put back, but not that big of a deal.

That a good question! I finally gave up. I tried 3, 3.30, 4 and it burned at 4. I hate the thing and think it was a waste of my money. My microwave is 1100 watts. I never got it to turn out right.

No... I dont think it has enough current to support the power of a microwave

According to the book that I have, it says 1800 watts. Hope this helps you somehow.

I will have to say no to that! It won't even run my 900 Watt microwave I have in my semi. They tell you the inverter is 3000 W but actually it's only 1500. I was disappointed when I receive the inverter and it said it on the box.

That is what the literature says. You should buy a smaller wattage version closer to your intended usage.

It wouldn't run mine. I had to return it. I have a 1000 w modified square wave inverter that does run my microwave. However, it takes longer to cook things.
