I recently purchased a small and lightweight microwave to use while camping. I initially powered it with a 100AH LiFePO4 battery and 1000W inverter, but found that the battery would shut down when trying to start up the microwave. Upon further investigation, I discovered that the microwave had an inrush current of 35A during the first 100 milliseconds of operation, which was not mentioned in the specifications. This exceeded the over current shutdown of the basic LiFePO4 battery. I had to switch to a Smart BMS version of the battery, which allowed me to adjust the over current protection to account for the inrush current. Despite this issue, I still find the microwave to be ideal for camping due to its small and lightweight design. I would have rated it 5 stars if the inrush current had been documented in the specifications.

Bought this for my mom who needs something simple. She doesn't use digital devices.
