5/8/2023 0 Comments Wavebox portable microwaveI can't say it was the use of the microwave that caused it, because the idiot light came on not after using the microwave but after a start on a cold morning. Later in the trip, the remanufactured alternator died. I had purchased the van the previous month and it arrived with a dead alternator which I replaced with a remanufactured 120A alternator. This required running really heavy wire to the battery and fusing it properly, and it pulled 100A during use. and exchanged it for a 1500W modified square wave inverter and got a 700W microwave from Target. Thanks for the heads-up on this product.Ĭlick to expand. If you have the cargo area 12v outlet on very short wires to a battery under the seat, then i wouldn't worry as much. So boiling a 12oz cup of water will take about 6 minutes.Īnd *that's* when the Sprinter's behind-the-panel wires are going to be getting very hot. When operating at 240 watts from the cigar lighter, it will take three times as long to "cook" anything compared to plug-in-the-wall. The Wavebox microwave is going to be pulling power for many minutes. The Sprinter's Cigar Lighter expects to use 20 amps. So i'd be cautious about the wiring behind the Sprinter's dash, too. You'll see that one complaint is that the unit's own cigar lighter cord is not adequate to the task. if you read the one useful review (the other shows he didn't read the manual) on Amazon: (i'd be far happier if they were 14 gauge or 12 gauge)īUT. But it is only "live" when the key is turned to "on" or "accy".īoth sockets are wired with 16 gauge wires, so i'd be highly tempted to put a 20amp fuse on the "live" power outlet. the Cigar Lighter inside the ashtray *is* fused for 20 amps. I don't know about the 2007 and newer models, but for the T1N (2006 and earlier), the always-live "power outlet" on the dash is fused for 15 amps.īUT. That wavebox requires a 20 amp "cigar lighter socket. How i wish you'd asked that two weeks ago (so there'd be shipping time before Xmas Celebrate with a hot taquito after a Zombie kill (double-tap to the head).Dang!. It WILL be a necessary item in your apocalypse survival kit. I never thought of a really practical use until I noticed ThinkGeek connect the WaveBox to the days of reckoning when Zombies finally overrun society. Well, now the website that sold them doesn’t exist anymore not even the Wayback Machine could find it… it’s been nuked from the net.īut demand for portable microwaves must be stronger than we think since the WaveBox has been featured all over the place. I remember looking into the sold-out product, and orders were backlogged for weeks or months. Remember the “Funcooker” from 30 Rock? That episode launched a buttload of traffic for an ACTUAL $130 product called the iWaveCube. The WaveBox bills itself as the world’s first portable microwave oven, but I think that’s only AFTER they strongarmed the “Funcooker” into submission. It comes with a soft cooler that fits inside the heating compartment, keeping your grub cold until it’s time to cook. Meet the WaveBox, a 600-watt, AC/DC-powered instant kitchen… complete with ABS casing and a heavy-duty handle. Want to be the first guy at the job site to heat his pastrami sandwich in his high-tech lunchbox? How about the only one at the office who cooks his Ramen at his desk without waiting in line at the kitchen? For me, I just want to heat a few frozen White Castle’s in my garage without my significant other knowing.
