A typical US microwave draws 900-1100 watts too. I can't even find a 2000-watt microwave listed for sale in the usual consumer places. That'd be like a "pro chef" level luxury item, likely needing beefier electrical wiring and so on. US electric code requires a dedicated 20-amp circuit for microwave, which isn't supposed to serve a 2000-watt load.
