Would the Trip Lite 825 be good for a microwave? Should it be 1400 jourles or 1900 in order to be most fire safe? Thank you.

This power strip is not designed for appliances, small or large. They draw too much amperage and should be plugged directly into a 3-wire grounded wall outlet with a 15-20 amp circuit and breaker. That being said, it will work but is a poor alternative to a wall outlet. It represents and element of potential fire hazard. Stop by your local fire department for real world info about what power strips should and should not be used for.

I think it would be fine....my daughter used this in her college dorm room for her microwave and her refrigerator.

For a microwave you would be much safer plugging directly into a 3 wire grounded outlet with a 20 amp circuit and breaker. The joule rating on a power strip is for surge protection, most likely from a lightning strike or something of that magnitude. I hope this helps.

We did at first because ours was a 1200 watt, now we don't . It does just as good, especially since your was just 1100 to begin with. It is good microwave. The only thing i wish was the turn table, it gets off track & can be annoying to put back, but not that big of a deal.

The maximum tempurature is a 1000watt microwave. Mine is 800 and it works fine.

I have used it to monitor my refrigerator and it is excelent. From 05 watts to 150. I will try my microwave next but am not sure its maximum. Hope it can handle 1500 watts to test my heaters.

I can't tell you about the microwave ... i only use the convection oven and it is very good. Would reccommend it.

I cannot answer about the safety, because I don't know how this is rated, but I can say that it is not that intuitive as to how to run it. Some microwaves are very easy to figure out by trial and error. This one is not. You would need to post the common directions, ie, press time cook, turn dial to desired amount of cooking time, press dial to lock in time, and then press start to begin cooking.

The microwave is smaller than we thought 19wx10.5H,the face plate is 23x15. You need space because it gets it air from the frount, you may have to trim out around the area. Check rv and marine dealers for better selection. The mfg was for rv. It had a smell for a couple months. It also has a knocking noise when certain plates are put in. We replaced a built in with this unit. For the price it was great, service avg to below avg.

By all means, do not dry the beads in the microwave on high for 60 seconds like the instruction on the container recommends. I did that and mine melted. I find that 30 seconds is more than sufficient.

The directions clearly state to use a microwave. The item is pricey. I would be afraid to try it. I would send an email to the vendor through Amazon & ask that question. They are the ones in the know. They are good about answering.

Many of the microwaves today heat at 1200w. Our Sears unit heats at 1000w that is why I ran at full power. Have reviewed the ad on TV several times and I suspect that the producers are using potatoes that about 1/2 the size that I was using. I could barely get 2 potatoes in the bag and the commercial shows 4 going nicely into the bag. I think I would try 4 small potatoes...betting you will see the difference.

I have used it on a new (2013) refrigerator for almost a year now without any problem, and with it experiencing several outages and brown-outs. I have not used in on my microwave or dryer, and from just my experience, I think a dryer, which typically uses a 220 would be too much for it to handle on start-up; however, checking with your appliance manufacturer would be your safest bet.

I only used it in microwave. It is perfect. Its material is silicone, I think oven at 350F will be safe. I never try before.

just be careful of flames going up the sides and melting the plastic on the handle material. I used it on a msr pocket rocket which is high heat and no problems. So far it has been a great pot. You might consider using it with something like a Caldera Cone Sidewinder for best performance with an alcohol burner.

I make one gallon of yogurt at least two times a week for the last 8 months. And I always use this bowl with two quarts of milk in each cycle. That is about 128 times with 21minutes on each heating. The bowl looks perfect. If it matters the milk is not allowed to boil. I go for 185 190deg each time. If you poured boiling water into this bowl it would get hotter than my microwave use. Until I just read these answers I never asked the question. I will certainly continue to use microwave as described.

I don't think I would put a microwave on it but a toaster oven but be fine. A small microwave will be fine.
