It has a thousand watts of power! If our washer and dryer could talk as well as the Magic Sheff Talking Microwave Oven,  we'd really be happy!  I highly recommend this oven especially if u don't wish to fiddle with labels on touch sscreens  u can't see or read.  This is up to u. I also have the narrator which is another of Gerald's favorite products ha!
