Appliances are rated on input so that they can make it sound better, and
1100 watts is a standard for almost all brands of microwave ovens today.
This also happens in vacuum cleaners today.  They used to rate them in
horsepower,  then they changed it to "vacuum cleaner" horse power.  Today
they rate them by amps drawn.  If you check out some of the cheaper vacuums
with high amp. ratings, you will find a resister across the input to make
them draw the higher load rating.
