HI, I'm researching glass fusing using a microwave kiln. I want to check if a 240v microwave will heat up faster than a 110v. If this is the case, then the higher voltage microwave will need to be on a lower setting aka wattage to ensure the glass does not crack? thanks
110 vs 240v microwave speed difference to heat up?

What matters is the power output of the microwave, which from a design perspective is not dependent on the input voltage.
However, the only reason I can think of to make a 240V microwave is so that it'll deliver more power than you can make from what's available from a 120V socket.
Watts is watts. Volts is just details.
