The Cuisinart Convection Microwave's functions include microwave, convection, convection fast bake, convection roast, grill combo, defrost, and keep warm, so it's a very versatile appliance that can do the job of many others. It won't fit a 13 x 9-inch casserole dish, but it also won't take up as much counter space as a lot of other options on this list. We really liked the size of this model-not too big and not too small. When using the popcorn setting, there were a fair number of kernels left unpopped, but it heated leftovers and frozen foods well. It even heated room temperature water to 210 degrees in two minutes. We cooked marshmallows in this microwave, and they came out with even caramelization all over. It doesn't smudge or collect fingerprints easily, so it's simple to keep clean. Its design is straightforward and functional, with all the necessary features you'd want-10 power levels, one-touch controls, and presets for items including popcorn, potatoes, beverages, and veggies. This microwave is quite large, though, so it's not a good fit for dorms or small spaces.ĭespite being a very affordable option, this microwave by Magic Chef is still a decent size and has plenty of features and power to be a solid option for any kitchen. This unit offers a variety of presets (including a keep-warm setting, a delayed start, and a setting for reheating beverages) as well as a child lock, inverter turbo defrost, and a sensor, which we found particularly accurate when it came to frozen foods. Based on what we saw, we agree, and it won the frozen macaroni test in terms of evenness. This model boasts "Cyclonic Inverter Technology," which, according to Panasonic, means that it circulates heat in 3D waves that lead to quick, even cooking. It does particularly well with reheating leftovers and heating frozen foods, so if that's what you predominantly use your microwave for, this may be your top choice.Īt 1,250 watts, it's definitely powerful-room temperature water reached 210 degrees after just two minutes. This Panasonic microwave would have been our best overall pick if it weren't so pricey it cooked ridiculously evenly and was spacious enough that it could probably fit a turkey. However, if you want to defrost a whole chicken, you're totally set with this model. Take note of the size if you have a small kitchen, because it's not the most compact.
This Toshiba countertop microwave has a solid reputation for being easy to use, including for kids, and it's exceptionally easy to clean. Not all of the preset cook modes worked as expected, though, and the microwave defrosted too aggressively for some meats, but we don't feel that's a dealbreaker, since cooking and heating food according to suggested times is easy enough. We tried the frozen entrée button with an Amy’s Frozen Mexican Casserole, and it emerged cooked to perfection. The macaroni was very evenly cooked according to package instructions, and the popcorn came out perfect using the preset, with only 1/8 ounce of kernels left in the bag. When it came to heating frozen macaroni and popping popcorn, the Toshiba outperformed most of the competition. Its 1,100 watts of power can be adjusted with 10 power settings, and the unit is also equipped with sensor cooking, two defrost settings, and five presets: frozen pizza, frozen entreé, potato, rice, and veggie. Combining high performance with a roomy interior that's well-suited for family-size portions, a sleek exterior with smudge-proof, one-touch buttons, and a middle-of-the-road price tag, the Toshiba EM131A5C-BS earned the top spot on our list. In testing, this microwave excelled at heating food quickly and evenly. Toshiba EM131A5C-BS Microwave Oven Review
