The microwave situation has grown more mysterious.
The front says "1350W". But that could either be the power draw or the nominal food heating rate. Probably the latter?
The back says "for use on 60 Hz, 12.7A, 120V AC only". Does that mean that that is the average power draw on high? Or the max draw? Something else? In any case, it works out to 1524W.
A 15A circuit should only take 80% load continuously, which is 12A (1440W). That's lower than the 12.7A listed on the back...
