Heavy-duty microwaves deliver 1,200 to 2,200 W, most from two magnetrons that feed energy from the top and bottom, so a plate heats evenly without stirring. The 1,200 W models need a 20 A circuit with a NEMA 5-20 receptacle, and the 1,700 W and up models need a 208 or 240 V circuit. Most stack two high and carry a three-year warranty, and their 0.6 to 0.75 cu ft cavities are sized for a half-size pan rather than tall containers.
