Product Information

If you are sold on the idea of a microwave for your caravan or motorhome, you should consider how much you will use it and what wattage level is best for you. This can be a laborious task as you can’t just use any old microwave in caravans or motorhomes. This is unlike any other toaster ovens in this list. For starters, it is much larger than the previously two mentioned above. What we love about this microwave is its concave reflex technology. This system eliminates any cold or uncooked areas of your food so it is evenly cooked each time. It will use very little energy on your leisure battery, saving you money in the long run. This will let you cook several courses without any hassle. While the least powerful toaster ovens above may take their time to cook or to reach desired temperatures, they are great at conserving power.

It is a digital toaster oven and thus comes with preset modes as well as buttons for setting the precise cooking time and temperature.

For example, if a 1500W microwave takes 30-50 seconds to cook microwave popcorn, then a less powerful microwave of half the power (700W) may take a minute and a half. Feature Differences The average household oven uses around 2400 watts when it is operating on medium heat, and it can run a power-guzzling 3,000-plus watt on its highest temperature setting. In comparison, a standard halogen oven will operate at a much lower level of around 1300 watts." How do halogen ovens cook food?With an output power of 600W, the Russell Hobbs Compact Manual microwave offers low wattage but more than enough to cook your food sufficiently. The power rating of a microwave, for instance – 1000 Watts, 600 Watts and 750 Watts, is the power that the microwave uses for cooking and cooking alone. This actually only equates to half the power input required by the caravan. This is why it is crucial to try and determine what the full power consumption is for a unit before purchasing it. Features wise, this also does not offer a convection fan. Therefore, it is a simple regular oven good enough for toasting and preparing small meals.

However, the real beauty of this toaster oven lies in its control. This is a digital toaster ovenand therefore gives much more precise control over your cooking. As we have seen these are very power hungry appliances so you might first consider using a toaster oven or microwave to reduce demands.The Hotpoint output power is 700 watts and input power consumption is 1100 watts or 4.78 amps. So again, there shouldn’t be any problem using the Hotpoint microwave on 10 or 16 amp hook up (obviously this depends on what other appliances are being used at the same time). Auto shut off is important for added safety to yourself, the caravan and the others living inside. This feature will ensure that the heating element is only turned on for a specific period, which stops it from overheating or burning your bread. So once your bread has finished its set time cycle, the element will automatically switch off. Energy Consumption It is estimated that a typical microwave will consume 20-30% of its total output at the defrost setting so you can see how you may be able to benefit more from a slightly higher output microwave.
