1000W being the most common.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the amount of watts that a microwave actually uses is higher than its stated wattage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Microwaves use between 841.6W and 2945.8W, with 1402.7W being the most common amount of watts used.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is based on research into the wattage of 203 countertop microwaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microwave wattage and the amount of watts they actually use are different because the output wattage is different from the input wattage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s briefly take a look at this in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Microwave input vs output wattage&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Microwave input wattage is the amount of watts that the appliance uses. <\/strong>In other words, it\u2019s the actual power consumption of the appliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Microwave output wattage refers to the amount of microwave energy made available for heating. <\/strong>Microwave output wattage is also known as the cooking wattage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microwave output wattage is the figure that\u2019s most commonly used. This is the wattage listed in cooking instructions, highlighted most by manufacturers, and referred to in most discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As mentioned, 1000W is the most common microwave wattage (i.e. output wattage). However, the input wattage (i.e. the actual power consumption) of a 1000W microwave is 1402.7W on average.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microwave input wattage is always higher than the output wattage. This is because microwaves are not 100% efficient at converting electrical energy into microwave energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In saying this, however, <strong>microwaves are one of the most energy efficient cooking appliances<\/strong>. Let\u2019s take a look at microwave energy efficiency in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Microwave energy efficiency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Microwaves are 71.29% efficient at converting input power into output power, on average.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, on average, microwaves convert 71.29% of electricity into microwave cooking power based on results from this study. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-4-background-color has-background\"><strong>Efficiency sidenote:<\/strong> Numerous factors influence microwave efficiency. I coudn&#8217;t find an authoritative source with a modern, comprehensive, and robust estimate of this efficiency. Consequently, I derived an efficiency estimate for popular contemporary microwaves (a mix of types) by comparing the input and output power ratings as provided by the manufacturers. This method offers a rough estimate of the efficiency of modern microwaves.<br><br>While there are more scientific approaches, the results remain highly dependent on various factors. My hypothesis is: Using the most popular models, and this method to estimate efficiency, will yield an efficiency estimate that more accurately reflects the current landscape. Additionally, it is hoped that this will serve as a valuable starting point for further analysis and discussion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For example, a 600W microwave actually consumes 841.6W on average.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some countertop microwaves are more efficient than others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Modern countertop microwave efficiency can be as low as 54%, in some cases, to 93% <\/strong>and higher in others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Inverter microwaves are more efficient than conventional microwaves.<\/strong> A key difference is that, instead of using a transformer, inverter microwaves offer more control over the magnetron. This enables greater power control, and therefore, offers more efficient heating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Microwaves in general are the most efficient cooking appliance. <\/strong>Although, there are occasions where conventional cooking appliances are actually more efficient &#8211; more on this in a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microwaves are more efficient because they <strong>cook from the inside out<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sidenote: <strong>microwaves don\u2019t cook from the center out<\/strong>. The waves reach a depth of approx. 1-2 inches, depending on the power of the microwave. The heat created then transfers throughout the food. Regular microwaves actually heat specific areas (around 3-4 inches apart) of the food, and the areas heated depends on where the food is placed in the microwave. Inverter microwaves, on the other hand, deliver more consistent heating.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, there is less heat and energy wastage from microwaves compared to conventional cooking appliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Convection ovens and conventional cookers <strong>heat the area surrounding the food, to then cook from the outside in. This is a slower and more inefficient mode of cooking.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In saying this, however, conventional cookers can be a more efficient appliance if you\u2019re cooking a lot of food at one time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you\u2019re cooking or reheating a single bowl of food, for example, a microwave is a more efficient appliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, it\u2019s worth noting that microwave output wattage is not a key energy efficiency factor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A 700W microwave is not more efficient than a 1200W microwave. It just means that you\u2019ll have to cook the food for longer.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, you\u2019ll consume a similar amount of power when cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This of course assumes that both microwaves are similar (e.g. they\u2019re both regular microwaves).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microwaves are becoming increasingly diverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many modern microwaves come equipped with a grill \/ heating element, which offers more cooking versatility while still delivering energy efficient heating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ultimately, when it comes to energy efficiency, the appliance that has the least amount of energy wastage that also meets your needs tends to be the most energy efficient option.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If a microwave is suitable for you, here\u2019s a stand out energy efficient model&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Energy efficient microwave<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The 1250W Toshiba ML-EM45PIT(BS) inverter microwave stands out in terms of energy efficiency.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also has a compelling price and design, along with exceptional reviews and high-tech features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Check it out, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Toshiba-ML-EM45PIT-BS-Microwave-Technology\/dp\/B085FZXZJ5?&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=ecocostsavi01-20&amp;linkId=7aa471641a47ffd9d09e79bfa059ee00&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This energy efficient microwave <strong>converts an impressive 92.59% (71.29% is average) of its input wattage into output power<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a maximum input wattage of 1350W, this inverter microwave can output 1250W.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This amount of efficient power means that you\u2019ll spend less time heating. <\/strong>The manufacturer even notes that this appliance <strong>saves up to 40% on defrosting time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>smart cooking sensors, the amount of power control, and the energy saving Eco Mode feature <\/strong>are other key factors that made this microwave stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Get more details on this energy efficient microwave, including the price, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Toshiba-ML-EM45PIT-BS-Microwave-Technology\/dp\/B085FZXZJ5?&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=ecocostsavi01-20&amp;linkId=7aa471641a47ffd9d09e79bfa059ee00&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You may be interested in: <a href=\"https:\/\/ecocostsavings.com\/dishwasher-wattage-energy-efficiency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Dishwasher Wattage [601 Studied | Most Efficient Revealed]<\/strong><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OK, now that we\u2019ve looked at microwave energy efficiency and know the difference between input and output power, let\u2019s take a look at how many watts different sized microwaves use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many watts does a microwave use<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Microwaves use between 841.6 watts and 2945.8 watts to deliver between 600 watts and 2100 watts of cooking power.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common microwave cooking power is 1000W, which uses 1402.7 watts on average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is based on research into the wattage of 203 countertop microwaves in 2024, and uses the average input to output wattage efficiency of 71.29%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Retailers tend to <strong>categorize countertop microwaves into small and medium size categories<\/strong>.

(71.29%) at converting input to output wattage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned, some microwaves, particularly inverter microwaves, are more efficient than others at converting input electricity into cooking power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, let\u2019s take a look at how you can find the manufacturer&#8217;s listed wattage (both the input and output wattage) of your microwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to find the wattage of a microwave&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several ways to find the wattage of your microwave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To find your microwave\u2019s <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">output<\/span> wattage:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Check the plate <\/strong>at the back of your microwave for the listed wattage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check the <strong>inside of the microwave door <\/strong>(or the outside in some cases).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check the <strong>owner\u2019s manual<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Look online <\/strong>using your microwave\u2019s model number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Estimate the wattage using the <strong>\u201ctime-to-boil test\u201d<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;time-to-boil test&#8221; estimates microwave wattage from how long it takes your microwave to boil 1 cup of ice cold water.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your microwave is 1000W or more if it boils 1 cup of ice cold water in less than 2 minutes. It\u2019s 800W to less than 1000W if it boils the water in around 2.5 minutes, it\u2019s 650W to 700W or higher if it boils in 3 minutes, and finally if it takes more than 3 minutes then your microwave is likely 300W to 500W.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding your microwave\u2019s input wattage is different, but there is some overlap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To find your microwave\u2019s <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">input<\/span> wattage (i.e. power consumption):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Check the plate <\/strong>at the back of your microwave for input power (i.e. the maximum wattage that the device can use). This will be higher than the output power, which is also listed in watts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check the <strong>owner\u2019s manual<\/strong>. Look for the input wattage figure not the output power figure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Look online <\/strong>using your microwave\u2019s model number. Many online resources don\u2019t make the input wattage easily accessible. You may need to find the owner&#8217;s manual online and then search within it to find the power consumption.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Estimate the <strong>input wattage from the output wattage<\/strong>. On average, microwaves convert 71.29% of their input power into cooking power. So if you know your microwave\u2019s output wattage, you can work out the input wattage yourself or simply <strong>use the Microwave Power Consumption Calculator above<\/strong>. However, your microwave may be more or less efficient than average. <strong>The next point is the best way to accurately identify your microwave\u2019s actual power consumption.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use a <strong>multimeter or energy monitor <\/strong>to see how many watts the microwave is using when it\u2019s running. A smart plug, with an energy monitor feature, may be useful, e.g. the one I use is the <strong>KASA smart plug (check it out, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0178IC5ZY?&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=ecocostsavi01-20&amp;linkId=88fed76fa1cc17c9b58cd11b8a0da26c&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/span>)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to know the input wattage of a microwave because it gives you a sense of the impact your microwave is having on your electric bills and carbon footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we know how you can find your microwave&#8217;s input wattage, and since we&#8217;ve covered how many watts microwaves use on average, next let\u2019s take a look at how much electricity (in kWh) they use.
