No, a microwave isn't a computer. Most microwaves have a little (really little by modern standards) microprocessor chip in them to provide the "brainpower" to allow a user to program the appliance to perform a number of functions. A microprocessor is at the heart (it's the "brain") of a modern computer, but the microwave itself is not classified as one.

∙ 14y agoA microwave oven does use a computer, just not a computer that can be directly used. It is not like a laptop or a desktop computer. If it is a modern microwave oven with a lighted display, it contains a chip that resembles those found inside computers. This does the basic calculations about how long you want to heat food. This is a completely automated chip, you can't plug it into another computer to reprogram it. Most electrical appliances have a chip like this.

∙ 13y agoYes, a microwave oven can interfere with electromagnetic equipment, like a computer. A microwave oven can also interfere with radio signals, like those used for wireless internet and cell phones.

∙ 9y agoI've never heard of a microwave being classified as a computer, only as an appliance. However, I can see the way you are thinking and I say that it could be classified as a computer due to the fact that it has a microprocessor that continually runs only one program.

What is the input devices for microwave device?
...The door? The refrigerator/freezer (though it requires a manual interface, in which you take the food out of the freezer and put it in the microwave by hand). Also, the buttons on a microwave might be considered an input device. There is no microwave input device in terms of home computers (with the possible exception of a hack that allowed you to control it via USB or something, but I've never heard of that being done). A cell phone or Blue Tooth device might be considered a "microwave device," or maybe a 3G or 4G device such as an adapter or hub. That frequency range of radio waves is considered microwave energy.
