![]() ![]() When I get home, well I simply switch chords and the Wavebox becomes my second microwave, a must for a single guy like myself in the kitchen.Ī couple of tips: The Wavebox or a microwave/inverter rig works better when rigged with jumper cables clipped directly to a car battery or portable jumper power source because more amps can flow through the heavier wires, which is why I rig mine up in my trunk with the portable power source. Post game I set up my chair and table, nuke the leftovers, and revive the party until the traffic lets up, solving my dinner problems in the process. Perhaps my favorite use for a microwave at the game is to warm up all those leftovers when the game is over. I have some hand warmers that can be nuked to store heat, I give ’em a good zap before I go in the gates. If I’m grilling at the game, I nuke some of my sides.Ī portable microwave is great to warm up some snacks on the way to a game, and even better to get that hot chocolate the temps you want it for those Nov and Dec games. I regularly bring food to the game from Arthur Bryants, I store it in the wavebox’s insulated insert until I get to the game then nuke it on the lot. The concept of a portable microwave has many tailgating uses. Even better, its got an insert that slides in and out of it which converts the Wavebox to a cooler.īefore I got the Wavebox I simply brought a small microwave rigged up with a power inverter that worked pretty well. The Wavebox is a portable microwave that operates on ac or dc power. So when it comes to tailgating it was inevitable that I would wind up with the Wavebox. Anyone with the capability of supplying that amount of power might be better with the versatility of a high wattage inverter that a standard cheapo microwave (and lots of other things) could be used with.Īt that power level, it'll completely flatten a car battery perhaps beyond repair in around three quarters of an hour.įifteen minutes use will drain it to the point that you'll find it difficult to start the car.īatteries just don't contain enough energy to use for heating or cooling appliances.By The Arrowhead Adventurer! 13 years ago Quote: I reckon the wavebox will draw around 85 amps on 12 volt. Outfit: Mazda Bongo & Cabanon Pacific Location: South Wales Still if anyone knows of a 12v sunbed for when the weather is not so good !!!! ![]() Only benifit is speed but I am in no hurry when I am camping thats the reason for going in the first place. 12v bits of kit are great and long may they be made but 12v microwave just does not cut it with me, I am thinking about the JML halogen cooker but again for my set up it is not really needed, gas oven & hob, BBQ, steamer, toaster & sandwich maker, if I can't muster up something nice to eat with that lot then I need to give up. Outfit: Conway Crusader Location: The KopĬrazy price for something that IMHO is not really needed, there are times where it may come in handy but at that price just not worth it. You would need a leisure battery set up IMHO I doubt if the battery on most cars would even take the power surge. ![]() I can't see that the jump lead option will have many takers. That's what most motorhome, caravan and boat owners would do. I think that anyone who had one would have cabled it in. Not really the convenience and freedom that they advertise. To use the Wavebox on 12 volt really means lifting the bonnet of the car and connecting it directly to the battery terminals and running the engine. As a gadget 'enthusiast' I'm very tempted by this but I do wonder if it's worthwhile.
