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. ------------- "Not all those who wander are lost."
