Microwave ovens

 I've been looking for a 12 volt microwave oven.  All that I find are in the
450 to 550 watt range and include an inverter.  Odd that they say it runs
directly on 12 volts - so why do they include an inverter and even in some
cases, a coffee maker:  I don't want an inverter and a coffee maker - I just
want a microwave that runs on 12 volts and preferrably a couple hundred
watts higher.  Any suggestions?

 
have you checked your nearest truck stop / trucker's store?

I have to post at the bottom because there are so many uptight folks who
don't like top posters.

No, I haven't checked my nearest truck stop - but that is an excellent
suggestion!  In fact, I got my present inverter from a gas station in
central florida - with the rebate, it was free!!!  Unfortunately, I don't
travel as much as I use to.  My favorite stop was Yeehaw Junction in
Florida.  But I don't drive much anymore and it is not easy to get there on
a recumbent trike ;-)

But I will remember to check next time I'm on the road.

Thanks for reminding me.

 Fuck the bottom feeders. Most are mental midgets and have OCD
problems.

Microwave ovens require high voltage to run the magnetron and thus an
inverter is required to convert the 12vdc to about 5kVdc.

All well and possibly true, but top posting is still the sign of an idiot.
