I am confused over the power of microwaves for my newly acquired campervan. Argos do a 700watt model but a friend says they are too powerful for electric hoop-ups and should buy a more expensive 500watt.

Is this correct or will the cheaper 700watt be okay?

Our old microwave was 750watt & we never ever tripped the leki, just dont boil a kettle,vacuum or have fan heater on at the same time

We fitted the Morphy Richards 700 watt model from Argos. (click here for link)

Be aware than it can use up to 1150 watts.

We have had zero problems with the electrical hook ups, and we don't switch anything off before use.

I suppose the worse that can happen is the hook up trips, and would need resetting.

Ours will not work from the battery, but that is not a problem as we only book pitches with EHUs etc.

Thanks for your advice.

I shall buy the cheaper model from Argos at £24.95 and be careful when using.

We have a 800 watt and make sure we switch other heating appliances off when using it.
