I actually have one of these. Thanks for dropping some knowledge. Definately digging this channel and looking forward to more of your food storage and low power cooking applicances that can run off of battery backups
You can adjust VR701 to reduce the output and power consumption of these inverter microwaves. Just rotate VR701 all the way left, and you will reduce the input power by about 250W, which is helpful off-grid. Also, the inverter microwaves should function fine on modified sine wave, unlike traditional microwaves which work very poorly. The inverter board converts the power to DC as the first step. Just as FunBubble noted, my Panasonic NN-SN651 inverter microwave takes well over the spec current current of 12.4 Amps, originally taking around 16.5 Amps.
Interesting, thanks for taking the time to do this. Today I received a new .6 cu ft microwave that was supposed to use 950W, but my power inverter seems to think differently. I have a different model of Panasonic Inverter Microwave in our kitchen that is probably one of the first. (I can't see a model number on it nor does it have the watts on the back label). I've tried it on power settings 1 through 4 (has a total of 10), and it treats power like a conventional microwave in that it will apply full power, then power off, then cycle on, etc. So power level 1 seems to be a few seconds on full power, then maybe 15 seconds of none, and so on. As a result my 1000W sine wave inverter does not like that full power draw period and sounds the warning wail during that period. However I see that there are other videos that confirm that the Inverter Microwaves do indeed cook with reduced power, so I'm guessing that the early models like ours did not actually do that. When I tried your link, I was also interested to see they have a smaller inverter microwave listed, the "NN-SD372S", so I'm considering an upgrade to that for my van.
This is the video I was looking for lol. I'm trying to get one of these for my inverters but my house battery can only run up to 1200 watts continuously. Panasonic Inverter Microwave for the win!!
Nice review, thank you. Could it be that those two prongs protruding from the bottom of the back are for winding or wrapping the power cord if you don't need it the full 42" of length??? Do you think those those prongs could be cut off to allow the unit to sit back a little farther against a wall, as it seems the hump back is what's keeping the main body plenty distance away from a wall to allow venting or air circulation behind the unit. (?)
Hi Bubble! Great review as always!!😘😘😘
Thank you! 🤗
@@FunBubble Why you need an additional switch to ON/OFF light? Just power OFF and open the door 🤔
its being used in the kitchen and id have to slide it away from wall and unplug it every time. But you are correct if it was used only with the battery powered generator it would be easy to just unplug it.
I have the SA661S unit almost identical. The LED display is very dim. Almost unreadable during the day. Is there any way to adjust that
Thanks for your review! by any chance, could you please let me know the distance from the front of the microwave to the feet? thanks
I'd really like to know if this microwave could cook a potato via the potato sensor cook while at power level 4, so that it could work with a power station battery generator. 🥔⚡
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Thanks for this very informative video. Im trying to size a microwave to run on a Bluetti ac70 wich is rated at 1000 watt, and can peak at 1250 for about 35 seconds. I had bought a 700 watt microwave, and didn't realize that was the output. So was curious about inverter microwaves.
Am I to understand that this microwave is comparable with Jackery 1000W ? Or it is at power level 4 to be exact? Are there any camping refrigerators that a Jackery will power?
Thanks
Yes, you are right, transformer type use huge power, and are on a while, then off a while. Inverter is a nice low wattage, consistently. I will buy inverter, even for home.
He tests the stuff that makes a difference.
Can an inverter microwave run on my car battery with pure sine wave inverter for power?
How many wattage does level 2 use? Does it run constant wattage like level 2 ? Or it run like level 1, the wattage is up and down.
... I like the color of the light on the clock ⏰ It looks a purplish 💜 blue 💙 color 😳 😁 🍂🍁👍🏼
yes its also fairly bright and lights up the kitchen like a nightlight. very cool.
@@FunBubble so the light/clock is on continuously? How much current does it draw when NOT in use( considering you are running on solar/battery)
Nice idea for generator use.
Thanks 👍
How long is plug on that microwave?
Great video. I hope I can run a low power version on the Panasonic microwave with my EcoFlow River Pro. You do it in a later video on power level 3. I hope it will work.
hi, i made a video about turning off the light bulb from inside the microwave. czcams.com/video/x5dTav4Bcjw/video.html This mod helps save 20 watts of electricity. thx
@@FunBubble a lot or work to save 20 watts
I thought you will retrieve the inverter and make it into some kind of exploding megatron machine I was hoping...
Umm 120v X 0.18a = 21.6w? is your meter broken maybe?
Nice
I wish someone would explain the difference between an INVERTER microwave oven and a regular microwave oven.
here it is from chatgpt 4o: The primary difference between an inverter microwave oven and a regular (or conventional) microwave oven lies in how they deliver power to cook or heat food. Here's a detailed comparison:
### Regular Microwave Oven:
1. **Power Delivery:**
- Uses a transformer to deliver power in full on/off cycles. For example, if you set it to 50% power, the microwave cycles between 100% power and 0% power in intervals.
- This means food is subjected to periods of intense microwave radiation followed by periods with no radiation.
2. **Cooking Consistency:**
- The on/off cycling can result in uneven cooking or heating. Delicate foods can be overcooked in some areas and undercooked in others.
- Reheating can cause some parts of the food to become too hot while other parts remain cold.
3. **Efficiency:**
- Generally less efficient in maintaining a steady cooking temperature.
### Inverter Microwave Oven:
1. **Power Delivery:**
- Uses inverter technology to deliver a continuous and consistent stream of microwave energy at the desired power level. For example, at 50% power, it continuously delivers 50% power rather than cycling between 100% and 0%.
- This provides a more even distribution of energy.
2. **Cooking Consistency:**
- Results in more evenly cooked food. Delicate foods are cooked more gently and uniformly, reducing the risk of overcooking or undercooking.
- Reheating is more uniform, with fewer hot or cold spots.
3. **Efficiency:**
- More efficient in terms of energy use and time. The continuous power delivery helps to cook food faster and more evenly.
### Additional Considerations:
- **Cost:** Inverter microwaves tend to be more expensive than regular microwaves due to the advanced technology they use.
- **Versatility:** Inverter microwaves often offer more precise cooking options and can handle a wider range of cooking tasks, such as simmering or defrosting, more effectively.
### Summary:
Inverter microwave ovens provide continuous, consistent power, leading to more evenly cooked food and greater efficiency. Regular microwave ovens, on the other hand, cycle between high and low power, which can result in uneven cooking and less precise control over the cooking process.
@@robt8042 Thank you!
A microwave, inverter or not, uses 60% more input power than its output power, so a 1200W unit will consume 1920W, which is consistent with results. For a standard 15A circuit, that's very high, so the Kill A Watt was sounding an alarm.
Perhaps that was your finding yet it differs with every microwave. If you live at the end of an extension cord, buy only an INVERTER equipped microwave such as is shown in this video. I have found Panasonic to make a good product in this regard.
Seems like you might not be fully understanding your microwave. Yes, you might be using 2000 watts at full power but other things are on. I can hear a fan and see a light plus your display is running. Plus nothing is 100%, you will lose some energy to the device heating up which is creating the power.
You need to take your microwave apart and see what watts the light bulbs run at as well as the fan and everything else.
