Microwaves are bad for your health, folks. Engage your brains prior to making purchases of this kind.

...which is because? Don't tell me it's because of electromagnetic radiation.

This contraption can only manage a 500-watt output like setting my 1,200-watt one on 41.6%, lol?), it can only do so for eight minutes on a charge, and it costs EIGHT HUNDRED AND FORTY DOLLARS?!? Surely this is an April Fools' joke, yes? Because, according to the directions on the package, that's not enough power/time for my frozen lasagna lunch. I'd have to plug it in. Which means I could simply buy a full-power microwave oven - for a fraction of that price. Such a small fraction, in fact, that I would have enough left over for a generator and a fair bit of fuel. . . .
