Home microwave ovens are built to be CHEAP. Every penny counts. They are also
built for intermittant duty. The designers likely pushed everything to the
limit. Why design a transformer to run cool 24/7 when it only needs to run 20
mins/day and has hours to cool down?

If they were built to commercial or Mil specs, they would cost $1000s, not $80.
