Just a thought John,how about checking how long it takes to boil a known quantity of water, say 200ml? Then compare against a different model (a friend's?), making due allowance for any difference in claimed power.
To be honest I don't know enough about Quality microwaves to be able to say whether the claimed '1000w' or whatever is the AC mains power input, or the actual microwave power output.Gary.

When I used to repair microwaves, I always did a test on the output of the
microwaves. I was trying to remember the exact formulae (it's been a while)
so to refresh my memory, i did a google and came across this instruction
leaflet for a tester with the exact details required.

Am I right to think the formula needs the user to input temperature rise
in degrees C (rather than degrees F) - it doesn't seem to say?

All the best,

Rich.

As Martindale is British, I'm guessing Centigrade.

I used to work on 10KW microwave devices and we had to test them directly in
a very expensive fixture.

Google some terms on comparing the microwaves and I'm willing to guess it
will involve heating a specific amount of water that started at a specific
temp and compare the results of when it starts to boil etc.

Good point regarding the starting temperature for water used in a comparison test - I forgot to mention that they should be (more or less) the same for a fair comparison.Gary.
