How long will a Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 run a microwave oven?

Estimated runtime: 0.8 h – 1.2 h

This estimate uses the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2's published 1,070 Wh capacity, an assumed 85% inverter/conversion efficiency, and a typical microwave oven draw of 750–1100 W.

The math

1,070 Wh × 0.85 = ~910 usable Wh. ÷ 1100 W = 0.8 h; ÷ 750 W = 1.2 h.

Where the appliance wattage comes from

DOE typical wattage table: microwave oven 750–1,100 W (input watts are often higher than the cooking-power rating on the box).
