Cheap counts for many... They get handy men to do some of the work so who knows. I have seen much worse

I couldn't tell that there was rubber cord running thru the walls. If so, it never got inspected or the inspector was unaware of the code issue.

Yet they knew it needed the disconnect switch?
I was going to ask what you thought was so horrible, until you mentioned this is rubber cord.

Wonder how much that thing draws and what that switch is rated at.

Hard to say, they have similar looking units from only 1.5 kW to 15 kW, single and three phase, 208,240, 277 and 480 volts.
If it is a smaller unit, a 20 amp general use switch may be sufficient.

What we find in WA, and our compliance inspectors, is a business (Walmart I know of) contacts with a nation wide electrical contractor for microwaves in breakrooms, they roll thru and install, when caught with out proper permits etc, they get to go back and do all over again.

What so special about these microwaves that a permit is needed to install them? Most already have a cord and plug on them, so unless you need to install a new receptacle for it, all you need to do is plug it in.
Kind of find it hard to believe they don't just take one from inventory if the old one needs replaced.
