Correct, but I think most people don't think about that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] cenzorrll@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago And in the case of a microwave, it makes almost no difference if you're running longer than 30s permalink fedilink source parent [–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago This is only the case for cheaper models. There are models with inverters that actually run at lower power. I am like original commenter, I gotta turn down the power because my microwave is a deadly lazer (1200 W) permalink fedilink source parent [–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago the whole point of duty time is that it has basically the same end result, and no full blast then waiting is not the same thing as shorter bursts over a longer time.. permalink fedilink source parent
