Very Happy Buon giorno, at the NEC Febr. 2007 I saw one of these on sale, and liked the look of it. Couldn't buy one as I was on a plane and not MH trip.
Never seen one around since, but notice they are now advertised on MHF.
Did anyone see them at the NEC Feb. 2008, or anywhere else? Has anyone bought and tried one? If so what do you think of them? Do they work OK from a 12v. plug? Do they work OK off an inverter. How long for e.g. to heat up properly a frozen meal? To boil a mug of milk?
saluti,
eddied

Hi.

Most 12 volt microwaves use a built in inverter. You must remember that this will draw at least 80 amps from your battery. A standard 650 750 microwave will need an inverter of 1500 watts to allow for start up current.

Thats great.......I will definitely watch it........looking on their web page info it says it can be plugged into a 12 volt vehicle power outlet....if it has 20 amps.....is this the usual power from a cigarette lighter ?

Very Happy Buon giorno and thanks for the replies. Looks like nobody on MHF has actually tried one of these things.
Will be interesting to hear comments from anyone who watches Channel 5.
Too far away for me!
Grazie e saluti,
eddied
