We have a Panasonic NE-1258R.
It's a commercial kitchen microwave oven and is built like a tank.
It requires a 20amp circuit and it has no turntable because it has two magnetrons.

- gonzo41 3y agoWell at least you know your electrical system will be up for fast charging an EV. a 20A microwave is probably something you'd want to supervise pretty closely.
- aidenn0 3y agoIt's only 33% more power than a regular microwave (which requires a 15A circuit).
- freshpots 3y ago"The oven must be on a SEPARATE, 20 Amp, 60 Hz-120V GROUNDED CIRCUIT." 20A @ 120V is only 2.4 kW max while you should only run it at 80% of the circuit/breaker load so 1.9 kW. Not exactly a fast charging EV circuit. It is not that much greater than a 15A circuit. It would take over an entire day to charge a typical EV, e.g Tesla LR Model 3, from 10-90%
- speedgoose 3y agoYes, a typical EV has a 11kW onboard charger. Some have up to 22kW but it’s relatively rare. And that’s for slow charging. You can always charge slower but if you install a circuit for EV charging it’s nice to have a good one. An old Renault Zoé equipped with a Continental power train and onboard charger had up to 43kW on AC, but the industry seem to prefer external DC chargers for faster charging. And that starts about 50kW. Though nowadays people would avoid such slow fast chargers and prefer the 100kW+.
- shepherdjerred 3y ago> a 20A microwave is probably something you'd want to supervise pretty closely Aren't standard microwaves 15A? Wouldn't a 15A -> 20A microwave just be 33% more powerful? Is that a dangerous jump? I know very little about electricity
- huytersd 3y agoIf I’m not mistaken 15A is a standard residential wall outlet with 14 AWG wires. 20A isn’t that much more but since it’s not standard, I think it would require a higher gauge of wire such as 12 AWG and an updated breaker. I don’t know much about electricity either
- rssoconnor 3y ago20A is now standard in kitchens[0]. For example, when I moved in, all my kitchen outlets were 20 amps. The sockets look like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NEMA_5-20R.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NEMA_5-20R.svg [0]Requirement: Provide at least two 20-amp, 120-volt circuits to supply power to GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) electric receptacles for countertop and eating areas. -- https://www.thespruce.com/kitchen-electrical-code-basics-1821527 https://www.thespruce.com/kitchen-electrical-code-basics-182...
- shepherdjerred 3y agoOh that's nice! About a year ago I was considering a 20A countertop appliance (espresso machine), but my kitchen only had 20A plugs for the fridge/oven.
- freitzkriesler2 3y agoSmart on you for getting a commercial appliance. Residential grade appliances are quite frankly awful and really limit how well you can cook. My dream kitchen is ironically a professional one. One of my rants are stoves. They is not get as hot as professional stoves. To overcome this, I got a Blackstone griddle that also includes a gas range. I then replaced the propane regulator with some Chinese one that lets me output ateasg 2.5x the amount of gas the stock one did. I could probably damage it at max output but I've never tried. Instead o get up to 600* F and cooks mean steak and perfect smash burgers.
- stevenwoo 3y agoWow, is your oven capable of both proper wok and pizza cooking temperature?
- freitzkriesler2 3y agoBy oven do you mean the one in my kitchen? It gets up to 500F but a good pizza oven goes hotter. For a wok the stove top is gas but the answer is no. It won't get the sear I want. To overcome this, I have a cuisanart pellet smoker and a big green egg. Those can get me into the 600F range that gets me the pizza cooking temps I want. For the sear, I just cook on my griddle since the whole surface goes up to 600-700F with that new regulator. Honestly if I had pro grade appliances, I'd need a massive vent hood and some sort of advanced fire suppression because ho le fook do those grills get hot.

- olyjohn 3y agoMy work had a load of commercial microwaves. Always wondered why they had no turntable. But the buttons on the front never made sense to me. Had to poke around to figure out which one cooked my food in the right amount of time. Not sure if they are all programmable for quick cooking specific foods in restaurants or what.
- maytc 3y agoThis microwave is at all the convenience stores in Japan
- idontwantthis 3y agoHow much did it cost and where did you buy it?
- xk_id 3y agoAs usual, the industrial-grade stuff is the only stuff that is actually worth having; while the whole entire consumer market is by and large a rip-off and a scam. Not just for microwaves. Also food ingredients, cosmetics, drugs, electronics. The problem is that business-to-business suppliers are harder to find and contact, they rarely engage with private individuals and often they are even restricted by the government from selling to you. The whole thing drives me nuts.
