Q.
What current will the USB sockets deliver? (NOT mains socket on back)
You have misunderstood an earlier question on this. We nearly all know the 13A mains socket should deliver 13A according to the BS specification. However the power output of the USB charging sockets is the real interest. It certainly will NOT be 13A as suggest in your other reply or the USB sockets would melt! The maximum is about 2A but some chargers offer less than 1A. Many modern USB devices need at least 1A to charge properly.
There are two USB charging sockets on the device so how much power can each socket provide and can this be simultaneously?

Hi, thanks for your question.

I have spoken to the manufacturer for you and I can confirm that each USB socket delivers a 1A current, and both sockets can be used at the same time.

Hi, thank you for your question.

I have looked into this for you and I can confirm that there will be no problem with you plugging your microwave into this adaptor to allow you to charge product with the USB ports at the same time. The power will be shared so it may not work as efficiently as normal.
