Way off of normal topics here and I'm not sure where to post it, but I am in search of a more affordable and reliable microwave. I'm starting the nutrisystem plan and a lot of the meals require a microwave.
I need opinions on the microwave as well as any converters and accessories I may need. Again as affordable as possible because I'm on a tight budget. Thanks all...

well a 700 watt microwave fits in most trucks $50-60 at walmart
you will need a 1500 watt inverter to run it with the heavy cable pkg which is extra at the TS
you can find the inverter for $100 on sale with another $30 for heavy cablesdaddy2twins Thanks this. -
This is what I got http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00126K8DA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

also bought the cheapest microwave from walmart for like $50. Works really welldaddy2twins Thanks this. -
or you can buy a 12 volt microwave. for about as much money as a invertor and cheap microwave. I think it was 500 watts so cooking would take a little longer.
I'm thinking about buying one if I can find the spec on inside footage. don't nwant it if it won't hold a frozen jenos cardboard pizza.daddy2twins Thanks this. -
I will save you alot money,Wrap yo meals in ALUMINUM FOIL,pop the HOOD,ductape it across the INTAKE HOUSING,let her Rip down the HIGHWAY,and once you get to TRUCKSTOP,REST AREA,SHIPPER, OR RECEIVER, POP THAT HOOD!! & Commence The EATING,,,LOL REAL Men Dont USE MICROWAVES, lol,im just kidding thats how i eat,
But seriously a nice 1800 watt converter from Wallyworld and a craigslist 2nd hand Microwave for $20 bucks and youll be fine,
you did say you are strapped for cash!! Lol

It worked, but given the choice I'd go minimum 1500 watt inverter or bigger..
For hook-up wire I used 4 gauge fine strand in my trucks (fused of course), most good car stereo stores have it or buy it online..
I buy all my power wire for various projects from these people now..

We have the 700 watt microwave from Wal-Mart too. Been working fine for 2 years now. Only downside to it is that things take longer to heat.
daddy2twins Thanks this. -
I was wondering how much worse the 700 w would be at cooking than the bigger microwaves.
