What size extension cord does a microwave require? null

This should be the right "size" for any microwave that uses a standard 3-prong 120V connection. But if by "size" you mean wattage, you have to look at your specific microwave's manual and look up its max wattage output. This power cord says it can handle up to 1625 Watts, so only use this with microwaves that have LESS than 1600W maximum power consumption. Otherwise you need a thicker power cord for microwaves that are more powerful if you don't want a fire hazard.
