[C320-list] How to add a Microwave?

[Stanley Rogacevicz]

   Popcorn and an occasional powdered packet type meal (ignore that
blasphemy Adam) is all I installed mine for but I was disappointed in
its popping ability. I'm pretty sure I used the .5 cu ft Origo mentioned
running off a Xantrex 1000w inverter and it couldn't properly pop the
full size bags but did ok with the snack size. It was a turntable model
and a poorly popped full size bag would fill the cavity which may or may
not have been part of the problem. It seemed to handle the other quick
heating/re-heating tasks that microwaves do best ok.

Thanks for all of the responses/information.

The microwave is really just going to be a popcorn maker in the slip, 
and I suspect that you're all right that it'll get used 3 times.. but
my 
wife wants her popcorn.

to store stuff, but if mine broke, i don't know how I would find out, so
replacement would not be an issue.
