This was so exciting to watch, it reminded me of my father when he used to teach me the process of elimination....good memories! Thank you for an awesome review!

[@Tiny-Campers]

Haha. You are welcome

[@axlcrafts]

that's the smallest refrigerator i saw lol.. nice vid, very informative

[@toddshade2831]

One of the best informative electrical videos out there I learned a lot thank you for making it. What patience! lol. Love the channel ❤

[@MrToodles40]

Just an FYI, for microwaves, advertised wattage is cooking power. My 900 watt Toshiba pulls 1350. Nice video.

[@gelo1238]

Depends what they want to advertise. They can just put total power draw

[@infantry1560]

Way to go, process of elimination. Awesome demonstration!

[@Tiny-Campers]

Thanks!

[@seangriffon6502]

You have a defective microwave. When you turn it on you should hear a soft hum as the magnetron fires up. You will also see the interior light in the microwave dim down as megnetron kicks in.

[@tilulenshpigel8396]

Great channel. Thanks.

[@milliondollar2981]

I Like You😁, using good ole country🇺🇲 boy common sense to figure out what works!!,,Great Video!!

[@Carolina-mw4po]

Thanks for this review!

[@Tiny-Campers]

Hope it was helpful!

[@syedamirali1]

Thanks a lot man. You saved us from buying craps!

[@Tiny-Campers]

Yes. People can learn from my experience!

[@stephaniesimmons-ashorobi3314]

Good vid.

[@gelo1238]

Get a killawatt meter to check power usage, it is really useful.

[@lorenzobarron6486]

If your microwave is not heating check the issues could be the fuse or something else inside the microwave could be the magnetron

[@asus12351]

Thanks I was looking for an inverter at a decent price.

[@Tiny-Campers]

It has worked well for me. More power than I need.

[@htoddgriffin4787]

The 100amp BMS in your battery limits the systems output to 1000W no matter what the inverter says.

[@mitsuoo1012]

2 minutes on a 700w micro would mame water hot.. xefectiv microwave!

[@GinaKayLandis]

Ok so I am confused. Everyone I know says you need an MPPT (which that inverter may have) and must run the inverter off the vehicle battery. But here we see the microwave was direct from the inverter, and the inverter got its power direct from the battery. Do I need a generator like a Bluetti or a Jackery etc? Or can I use a standalone battery to run my small appliances (like a small Keurig) and electronics? And how would I charge the standalone battery? Lots of questions so I will definitely appreciate any advice from you. Thanks!!

[@Tiny-Campers]

Appropriate battery and inverter is all you need to power an appliance. You can charge the battery just like you would charge a solar generator. You can use solar panels with a charge controller, like I do, or use a 110v wall charger. If you are not sure on what to do, I recommend getting a stand alone unit like a yeti or Jackery.

@@Tiny-Campers Thank you!

[@jonnyl.6904]

@@GinaKayLandis car battery used in a car with inverter while engine running so battery won't depleted to lower than %50 but you can used Lifehouse rechargeable Lithium battery with inverter to run alone and battery meter 0 percent it won't damage it just charging it up using solar panels or wall charging

I buy a Caravan Sine Wave Converter 6000W Power Inverter DC 12V To AC 240V LCD 4USB Car . Can’t make hot . About 7 minutes just warm the food 😅 the Microwave is 1050w . So maybe need to change the inverter ?

[@Tiny-Campers]

From my experience, it needs to be a pure sine wave inverter. The modified sine wave did not work.

[@rocknmamma2666]

Seems most of the vlogs I’ve seen on KZbin have always recommended pure sine wave inverters. You can’t go wrong as most of your pricier electronics

[@markjob6354]

*What you are hearing is the modified sine wave slowly destroying anything like capacitors and IC's inside your connected device ! Well it work ? Yes. No problem. Will it work for long ? Not really. Soon your Microwave will be have its electronics totally fried ! 👍👀*

[@gelo1238]

just buy next one Also this microwave doesnt have electronics. It just high voltage transformer, HV capacitor, magnetron and couple contractors, relays, clock and necesary safety switches. Capacitor stores DC and im pretty sure those massive transformers have enough impedance to smooth out spikes. This is cheap scrap and it will die after couple years anyway.

[@MrKim-kv2vv]

[@restinpeaceminette..]

I’m sorry how do you recharge the battery when it’s dead. That’s my mysterious part that I couldn’t really figured out.

[@Tiny-Campers]

This test was mainly for tiny camper builds. I have a solar panel on my roof kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJCspKSYrZmle9k

[@restinpeaceminette..]

@@Tiny-Campers thank you 🙏 for the both videos I’m taking baby steps to learn how I get this done with out blowing my car off 🤣😂🤣.

[@donatzerodayslife]

Pure sine wave is for sensitive electronics, such as microwaves.

[@gelo1238]

Im actually suprised that microwave doesnt work on modified sine wave. It rectify AC to DC afterward. Maybe inverted isnt that powerfull or transformer doesnt produce high enough voltage.

[@skunklepew6469]

I keep my carousel plate in the microwave. Simply stuff a towel inside. Along with my bread.

[@Tiny-Campers]

I actually have been keeping in with now cushion at all.

How many watts is the microwave and what's the name of the microwave ?

[@jakeliujakeliu]

Lesson learn today, going cheap never is a good thing waste time and energy. Just get a jackery 1000 cost about $799 easier to carry.

[@Tiny-Campers]

I need a battery so I can use it to run my trolling motor when I go fishing.

[@Tiny-Campers]

Considering the draw is in the 920 watts range, I would probably need the Jackery 1500

[@jakeliujakeliu]

I just check it running 1000 w (2000w peak)

[@user-cw2py6wh8l]

Jackery 1000 will last 6 years. Jackery is not LiFePo. LiFePo will last 10 years and is safer. He can replace just the battery for $400 and reuse the inverter and charger. Replacing the Jackery 1000 is $1,100.
