I have been using a 900w microwave that was drawing around 1375w when running. This was no problem with my 3kW AIO even when other things were also running. I happened to get a buy on a new 1000w microwave so I put it in the place of the old one yesterday. It is quicker to heat things and runs quieter. However, it does not draw 100w more than the 900w unit, it draws 1650w in comparison to the 1375w for 275w more!
My AIO still powers it by itself without a problem but I will have to watch how things work when other stuff cycles on.
Sometimes you really need to operate equipment before you can know what it does versus what some rating on it would make you think it does.
