Not likely. The R-Pod microwave is a convection/microwave combo. Unless yours has a lower wattage rating, usually microwave start around 1000 watts and go up from there.


Power consumption       1350W (Convection)
Consumption: 120V,      1350W (top & bottom grill)
120V,                    850W (top grill)
Rated Microwave Output: 1000W

You'll most likely need a 2k watt generator. Most microwaves pull 1200-1500 watts continuously. If you get a Kill-a-watt or similar device for measuring electrical draw, you can measure the watts when using it very easily.

This is a big no.
If you want something done right, do it yourself.
