Should be ok in the UK but more difficult in other European countries. We ditched our microwave for ths reason and the weight .

You should be aware that even though the hook-up may be 16 amps the circuit in the motorhome is probably only 10 amps - but this is still plenty for a 1200 watt (5.2 amps) device.

Not long enough, but a little common sense helps..........
We binned the microwave after our last run out. After 4 months used it twice!!! waste of space and weight and after you get used to not having one, you will never miss it.

What we use is this: Link Removed

Never tripped out EHU and we used it in UK,France,Germany and here in Spain, great bit of kit.

We use one too . Been through microwave and small oven before but this is by far the best option.

I use it in the house too. Aldi here are selling them this week for €29.99 :Smile:
