Isn't it a little late for April Fool? Regular microwave ovens generate 700w and up with their magnetrons. If this is USB powered, it won't even break 1w of output. Better start "nuking" lunch as soon as you get to work.

The wavebox microwave might have been one of the first but this article is about the Beanzawave being the smallest, not the first.

No April Fool. You can read about the concept here:
