compare microwave oven to conventional oven
With energy input
The difference between conventional and non conventional energy resources is that conventional energy resources are much more common. An example of a conventional energy resource would be oil, a non conventional energy resource would be solar power.
Is it's Energy Efficiency.
non conventional
In a microwave oven, we find that microwave energy (from the microwave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum) are used. In a conventional oven, gas or electricity is used to create infrared heat, so we find infrared radiation (from the infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, which is just below the visible light or optical portion) used there. If the oven happens to be a combination microwave and conventional, we'll find both types of electromagnetic waves generated for use inside.

Microwave takes less time to cook
It's difficult to compare energy efficiency of stoves, but look at their Energy Star rating.
You can save a lot on energy consumption by using your microwave instead of a conventional oven. Not only does a microwave cook foods faster, conserving electricity, but it does not heat up your house the way a conventional oven does, requiring your AC to work harder. And the latest models like the JES1142SJ countertop microwave are made to be energy-efficient.
XPIC technology allows for a much larger energy capacity. This allows microwave efficiency to be highbred with lower energy output.
No, this microwave is not energy star approved. In fact, Energy Star does not currently approve/label ANY microwave ovens. However, most microwave ovens of the same size/wattage use comparable amounts of energy, and microwave ovens use substantially less energy than conventional ovens.
The GE Microwave - Spacemaker JVM1540 is a very good option for energy efficiency plus it has a five star rating.
The power consumption rate is 1200 Watts on a 120 Volt Input. There are 10 adjustable power levels and the microwave requires 1,100 watts to run. This Sharp Microwave is rated at 1000 watts, though actual power consumption will vary. The Sharp 1.5 Cu. Ft. Over-the-Counter Microwave Oven has a wattage of 1100 W and is not an energy star appliance. The microwave runs on 120 volts, and the cooking wattage is 1200.
Based on energy efficiency the microwave coffee percolator is more energy efficient than the electric coffee percolator. The microwave coffee percolator uses less electricity, which in turn is the more energy efficient, which is great news for all of us!
All microwave ovens use only 1/3 to 1/2 the energy of a conventional oven or stove. Microwaves are not required to have an energy star lable to show you their average energy usage, But all the different wattages of microwaves are similar in average energy usage.
