How to Choose a New Microwave Oven
If you are in the market for a microwave oven, here are a few “hot buttons” to consider…
1)Most microwave ovens operate at 700-1000 watts: the more power, the less cooking time required.
2)There are three styles to consider: countertop, under-cabinet models or built-in units.
3)Under-cabinet models usually have more features, such as convection cooking or browning options.
4)Countertop models tend to be more compact, with smaller capacity and fewer touch-pad programs.
5)Countertop models may offer more versatility. Since microwaves are
not typically required to match existing appliances, they can be taken
with you in the event of a future move.
Simply put, most people buy a microwave oven for convenience. The more you rely on your microwave, the more essential it’s location. When determining location, consider the need for quick and easy access to re-heat, stir, add ingredients, or simply to check cooking process.
