How long will the Jackery HomePower 3000 run a microwave?

About 1.5 hours from a full charge. A microwave averages about 1,500 W, and the 3,072 Wh battery gives about 2,611 Wh after inverter losses. That is 57% of the battery an hour.

Can I run other things at the same time?

Yes, up to about 2,100 W more of the 3,600 W output. Each thing you add shares the same battery, so the 1.5 hours for a microwave gets shorter.

How many days of normal use is that?

About 6 days, if you use a microwave about 15 minutes a day and nothing else is plugged in.
