I had a cheap Radio Shack detector that worked. I opened it up once -- just a microwave diode and a meter. The meter moved quite a bit (sometimes briefly into the red) when I only put an ounce or two of water in my over-the-range GE microwave (JVM1630). If there was half a cup of water, the meter wouldn't move at all. The oven leaked in the middle of the grill at the top.

I never thought to try the detector out on a cell phone, cordless phone, or wireless router. A neighbor borrowed it and it didn't come back working -- probably put it into the microwave. My local Radio Shack doesn't sell them anymore.
