Collection: Countertop Microwaves

What size microwave should I choose: 0.7, 0.9, 1.1, 1.6 or 2.2 cu. ft.?

It depends on your space and what you cook. The 0.7 cu. ft. models (700 watts) suit dorms, offices and quick reheating. The 0.9 cu. ft. 900-watt and 1.1 cu. ft. 1000-watt models fit most everyday households. The 1.6 cu. ft. (1100 watts) and 2.2 cu. ft. stainless models give room for larger dishes and family-size portions. Check each product page for exterior dimensions before you buy.

Are these microwaves countertop or over-the-range models?

Every microwave in this collection is a countertop model, so there is no venting or wall mounting involved. Just set it on a stable counter or cart and plug it in. Leave some open space around the unit for airflow; the exact clearances and exterior dimensions for each model are listed in the specifications and manual on its product page.

What can the 1.0 cu. ft. Microwave with Air Fryer do that a regular microwave can’t?

The 1.0 cu. ft. Countertop Microwave in Stainless and Black with Air Fryer combines four appliances: air fryer, convection oven, microwave and grill. It also offers a combo cooking mode and 10 air fry presets, so you can crisp fries or wings as well as reheat. It is a good pick if you want to save counter space by replacing a separate air fryer or toaster oven.

What’s special about the 0.7 cu. ft. Retro Countertop Microwaves?

The Retro microwaves pair vintage styling with modern controls. They come in White, Mint, Black and Red, and each offers 10 power levels, nine auto-cook menu options and an ECO mode, plus a child-safety lock. Several colors also list multistage cooking. At 0.7 cu. ft., they are sized for small kitchens, dorms and matching a Magic Chef retro fridge.

Is there a microwave here for a restaurant, café or office break room?

Yes. The 0.9 cu. ft. Commercial Countertop Microwave in Stainless Steel is part of the Magic Chef Commercial line. It runs at 1000 watts, lets you program up to three cooking stages, and has a stainless steel exterior with a door safety lock. For home use, the residential models include child safety locks and one-touch cook menus instead.
