Microwave Ovens
Microwave ovens are an essential kitchen appliance that saves time and effort. They are available in different sizes with many different features. You are sure to find one that suits your needs.
What size microwave oven should you buy?
A small or compact model is sufficient for reheating food. If you are cooking foods such as a baked potato, you may be fine with a mid-level size. The inner capacity sizes range from 17 liter to 32 liter. A large size of 27 liter to 32 liter is suitable for a family. Some larger sizes have a tall height for cooking one dish above another.
What types of microwave ovens can you buy?
Models available include convection, counter top, commercial, over-the-range, and built-in. If you have plenty of counter space, a counter-top model will suit your needs. A built-in or over-the-range microwave works well if you are lacking counter space.
What power microwave oven should you buy?
The higher the wattage, the more powerful the oven. Compact ovens are 600 to 700 watts. Higher power levels range from 1,000 to 1,300 watts.
What color microwave ovens can you choose from?
Stainless steel models are a common choice and will blend in if you have other stainless steel appliances. Matching the color to your cabinets will also help it blend in. Black finishes give an inconspicuous polished look. Retro colors are available as well if that suits your preferences.
