As summer approaches people are once again getting interested in road trips and travel. One question that we hear a lot at Theinvetrerstore.com is “can I power a microwave with a power inverter”. The answer to this question is, Yes! Although there are a few things that are good know before purchasing an inverter.
Microwaves need to draw extra power as they start up in order to kick on the heating element. For this reason it is important to properly size your power inverter. Be careful selecting the right inverter and make sure you have all the start up requirements for your microwave before you do.
If you use a modified sine wave inverter it may take longer to heat your food and the microwave may run hotter than normal. For this reason you may want to look into getting a pure sine wave inverter instead.
Most of the stories that you hear about microwaves being a problem on the road are caused by people not fully understanding the power source that they are drawing from.
Theinverterstore.com offers excellent customer support and we would be happy to answer any questions that you might have. We have a wide selection of pure sine wave and modified sine wave inverters and our goal is to make sure our customers are purchasing the right equipment the first time around.
