Hi
As we get older and funds get less we now make all our own meals on site, except for a few takeaways, even though we use a cool bag to fetch the takeaway in it is usually on the cool side by the time we sit down to eat, so we have decided to get a small microwave. We can buy one in Sainsburys for £22.00 but I doubt it will last long been banged about in a trailer. But there is two more very small one for sale now.
The Wave Box at £179.00 or the Whirlpool Max 25 CRM at £99 .00.
As anyone got either of the two. I would love to hear if they are worth paying the extra for.
Regards
Rex.

Could you not put the microwave in the car and something less fragile in the trailer? We have carried a M/W in the car for several years and it is still fine. It is only a £25 one from Makro. I would not pay more than that.

I got a 230vAC Microwave off Ebay for .99p. Three years later and its still working very well. I run it thru an inverter. The only time that I run it from the mains is when I have the Van hooked up at Cirrhosis sur Mer

I do like the look of the Wavebox. Dual voltage and a sensible price

Take the cheap one in the car Rex. With your inverter you can warm the pies up on the way there!

I'm looking for one (microwave) for a motorhome, are there any that are dual voltage or just run on 12v. I guess any will work normally if we're on an electric hookup

thanks
