I'm looking at a Galanz 0.9 Cu ft Air Fry Countertop Microwave from Walmart, and I can't find solid info on whether it's transformer or inverter based. I thought inverters were the new standard, typically priced around $100, whereas transformers were more basic and cost around $50. The microwave has an option to adjust the power in percentage, which made me think it's likely inverter. How can I confirm what type it is? I'm mainly concerned about the power draw and other factors. Here's a link to the product page, but it doesn't clarify this detail: https://www.galanz.com/us/?page_id=6970.

Honestly, seeing that it weighs 35 pounds suggests there’s likely a transformer inside. Generally, inverter microwaves are lighter. Just be cautious—high voltage can be deadly if mishandled!
So just to clarify, the percentage you see is likely just a duty cycle indicator, not definitive proof of it being inverter-based. If you're not super experienced with microwaves, I’d advise sticking to simpler projects for safety. Better to play it safe!
Haha, even Darwin needs a hand sometimes! But seriously, it’s risky if you’re not familiar with handling high voltages.
Definitely! Natural selection is real, but let's keep everyone safe here.
Totally agree! Safety should always come first with any appliance that deals with electricity.
