Possibly a new fad to dupe ignorant people. Placing a flat battery (of any sort, but typically mobilephone Lithium Polymer types) does not charge the battery when the oven is operating.. It may produce an explosion and may cuase damage to the device or personal injury. Placing an electrical/electronic device in the microwave containing a discharged (flat) battery of any sort does not recharge the battey within the unit. Not only is it utterly stupid, but will destroy the internal electronics of the device.

Most now, at least regular sized, are 1100W power output. Many recipes assume 1100W for their instructions. Most for a NEMA 5 plug is 15A or 1800W, input power. Some smaller (in physical size) are only 400W or so output power. Industrial models might use a different plug and run higher power. Gah4 ( talk) 03:57, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
in the variation part we can add this as solo microwaves are the most common in normal households, etc
A solo microwave is the most basic type of microwave oven. It reheats, cooks and defrosts food evenly but cannot grill or bake. If you only need a microwave for your most basic needs, then a solo model will work just fine. However, keep in mind that it doesn't come with any special features and you can only use microwave-safe glass or plastic dishes with it . Dyrokg ( talk) 17:57, 5 November 2022 (UTC)

Named the "Radarange", it was first sold in 1946.
Says 1947 later.

There are two frequencies used for microwave ovens. For home use, 2.45GHz. For larger industrial sized, 915MHz. The wavelength has to be smaller than the size of the box, which allows 915MHz for larger units. And yes, it doesn't have much to do with the size or otherwise of water molecules.

the article says efficiency as low as 50%. I measured my microwave and found 40% i.e. it consumes 1500W for the 600W programme Metroplint ( talk) 09:58, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
