Microwaves

Whether you love microwavable recipes or are a master at heating up delicious leftovers, we’ll help you discover the microwave that suits your needs!

Before you narrow in on your choice, please consider the following factors: what you like to cook, how much you cook or the biggest dish you might put in there, your available kitchen space, the wattage or cooking power, and the style.

We’ll guide you to the choice that’s right:a built in microwave, a freestanding countertop model, an over-the-range microwave, or a convenient built-in microwave drawer.

What's Cooking?

If you like to prepare your meals using only the microwave (so quick and easy), then you need to look for a model with the latest features and innovations, such as sensor, steam, convection, or programmable cooking, removable racks, turntables, trays, easy clean interiors, and more!

Are you only going to be reheating yesterday’s leftovers or popping the occasional bag of popcorn? Then all you need is a standard model without all those bells and whistles. Just look for those pre-programmed buttons (or shortcut keys) with auto-defrost, +30 seconds, add 1 min, popcorn and more!

Is your family full of energetic kiddos? Search for easy-to-use models with large buttons or a touchscreen and a child lock feature (to prevent any gross food explosions).

Countertop Microwaves

Countertop models are freestanding and incredibly easy to move around as you see fit; simply plug it in to get started.

These come in a variety of sizes, from compact (0.4 – 0.5 cu. ft.) to high capacity (0.7 – 2.2 cu. ft), so you can pick the one that fits on any open space in your kitchen, like your counter, on a shelf, a special microwave nook, or installed in a cabinet with the appropriate trim kit. Countertop microwave power levels range from 700 watts to 1,250.

Over-the-Range Microwaves

Another built-in type of microwave, microwave drawers are typically installed under the counter or underneath a wall oven. Packed with a lot of features and accessed through the top, these are the most ideal if you are petite and proud (no more stretching on your tiptoes) or have disabilities that require lower installation.

As with any appliance you buy, keep in the mind the golden rule: measure your space, then measure it again! Keep your available dimensions close at hand.
