Microwaves are bad for your health, folks. Engage your brains prior to making purchases of this kind.

This contraption can only manage a 500-watt output like setting my 1,200-watt one on 41.6%, lol?), it can only do so for eight minutes on a charge, and it costs EIGHT HUNDRED AND FORTY DOLLARS?!? Surely this is an April Fools' joke, yes? Because, according to the directions on the package, that's not enough power/time for my frozen lasagna lunch. I'd have to plug it in. Which means I could simply buy a full-power microwave oven - for a fraction of that price. Such a small fraction, in fact, that I would have enough left over for a generator and a fair bit of fuel. . . .
