A microwave has one job, but the wrong one can turn reheated food into a cold-center, overheated-edge mess. Counter space creates another problem: a compact 700-watt model may fit a dorm or office, while a 2.2-cubic-foot oven can take over a small kitchen.
We compared ten real countertop and built-in options, paying close attention to cooking power, usable capacity, controls, sensors, and combination functions. The Best best microwave oven consumer reports pick is the Toshiba Countertop Microwave, while the rest cover compact spaces, family-size cooking, built-in installation, air frying, and specialty crisping.

1. Toshiba Countertop Microwave: Best Overall
Pros
- 1000 watts of cooking power
- Smart sensor adjusts time and power
- Six preset menus and one-touch starting
- Defrosts by weight or time
Cons
- Takes substantial counter depth
- No combination cooking functions listed
- Heavier than compact alternatives
Best for: households that want a capable everyday microwave without adding air-fry or convection controls.
The Toshiba Countertop Microwave is the one we would put in the kitchen of someone who wants familiar controls and a useful capacity without turning the appliance into a second oven. Its 1.2-cubic-foot interior is large enough for ordinary dinner plates and larger containers, yet it remains more manageable than the full-size Toshiba Large Countertop Microwave.
Its 1000 watts provide the cooking speed most people expect from a full-size countertop model. Ten power levels make it possible to soften food, defrost gradually, or heat at full power. The smart sensor is the more important feature for routine use because it adjusts cooking time and power based on food humidity. That can reduce the guesswork when reheating leftovers, although no sensor removes the need to arrange food sensibly.
The control set is well judged. Six preset menus cover foods such as pizza, vegetables, and sensor reheat, while one-touch start gives quick access to one to six minutes at full power. Defrosting can be set by weight or time. Those details matter more than a long menu of obscure programs because they match the jobs people repeat.
Compared with the BLACK+DECKER Countertop Microwave, this Toshiba adds sensor cooking and more explicit defrost flexibility. The Chefman 1.1 Cu. Ft. Microwave counters with a memory function, but the Toshiba's sensor approach is more useful when the amount of food changes from one meal to the next. Its weakness is physical: the listed external dimensions are 20.6 by 14.6 by 11.8 inches, so measure the shelf carefully before ordering.
Choose it if you want a conventional microwave with enough capacity for daily meals, useful automatic cooking, and controls that do not require much explanation. For readers also outfitting a broader kitchen, how much counter space small appliances really need is a useful planning question before adding another large appliance.
2. BLACK+DECKER Countertop Microwave: Best Straightforward Design
Pros
- 1000 watts and 10 power settings
- Six clearly defined food presets
- 12.4-inch removable glass turntable
- Child lock and interior light
Cons
- No smart sensor listed
- Black enclosure may not match the stainless door frame
- Counter footprint is still considerable
Best for: cooks who prefer direct buttons and conventional microwave operation.
The BLACK+DECKER Countertop Microwave is a plainspoken appliance. It does not try to replace an air fryer or convection oven. Instead, it concentrates on the usual microwave jobs and puts the relevant buttons where you can reach them quickly.
It has a 1.1-cubic-foot cavity, 1000 watts of output, and ten power settings. That combination gives it enough range for reheating a plate, cooking a frozen meal, or handling gentler jobs such as softening ingredients. The 12.4-inch glass turntable is removable, which makes spills easier to clean and gives a useful reference when checking whether a plate will fit.
Six preprogrammed buttons cover popcorn, potato, pizza, frozen vegetables, beverages, and dinner plates. There is also a 30-second express cook control, a clock, and a kitchen timer. The large LED display and easy-to-read control panel should appeal to anyone who dislikes cryptic multifunction keypads.
This is less automatic than the Toshiba Countertop Microwave because the listed features do not include humidity-based sensor cooking. The Chefman 1.1 Cu. Ft. Microwave has a similar capacity and power but adds memory programming and an Eco mode. The BLACK+DECKER answer is a simpler interface, with a push-button door release and an interior light.
The weakness is not a missing headline feature so much as the lack of flexibility beyond basic microwave cooking. Its listed dimensions are 20.6 by 14.8 by 11.8 inches, and the unit weighs 30.6 pounds, so it is not a tiny appliance. Pick it when reliable, familiar operation matters more than automated programs or combination cooking.
3. Toshiba Large Countertop Microwave: Best for Large Dishes
Pros
- 2.2-cubic-foot cooking cavity
- 1200 watts of output
- 16.5-inch glass turntable
- 23 automatic menus
- Smart humidity sensor
Cons
- Very large and heavy
- Requires a deep, open counter
- More oven than small households may need
Best for: families and cooks who regularly heat large plates, pizzas, or whole chickens.
The Toshiba Large Countertop Microwave solves the problem that smaller ovens cannot: fitting a large dish without angling it or transferring food to a smaller container. Its 2.2-cubic-foot cavity and 16.5-inch glass turntable are the defining features, not decorative extras.
With 1200 watts of output, it has more cooking power than the other conventional Toshiba in this roundup. The feature list specifically says it can fit a 16-inch pizza or a whole chicken. That makes it a sensible shared-kitchen appliance, though the real benefit depends on having the counter space to leave it accessible.
The humidity sensor automatically adjusts power and time, and 23 menus provide a much broader preset selection than the six-menu models. Custom defrost programs cover meat, poultry, and fish by weight or time. Sound control, speedy cooking, memory, Eco mode, and a child lock round out a feature set designed for frequent use.
The dimensions explain its ranking. The unit is 24.4 inches wide, 18.2 inches deep according to the feature listing, and 13.6 inches high, with a listed weight of 49.2 pounds. The internal and external measurements vary across the supplied product details, so shoppers should verify the actual clearance requirements before making a permanent place for it.
The Toshiba Countertop Microwave is easier to live with in an average kitchen, while the Frigidaire Gallery Built-In Microwave offers a cleaner installation path for a planned cabinet opening. This Toshiba wins when interior room is the priority, but it is the wrong pick for a shallow shelf, studio kitchenette, or anyone who mostly reheats a single mug or plate.
4. Chefman 1.1 Cu. Ft. Microwave: Best With Memory Controls
Pros
- 1000 watts and 10 power levels
- Memory function for repeated settings
- Six presets and 30-second control
- Eco mode and mute option
- Dishwasher-safe glass turntable
Cons
- Less capacity than the large Toshiba models
- No sensor cooking listed
- Black finish may show dust and smudges
Best for: households that repeat the same meals and want to save custom settings.
The Chefman 1.1 Cu. Ft. Microwave is the practical middle size in the Chefman range. It has enough room for ordinary family plates without the bulk of a large-capacity oven, and its feature set is aimed at reducing small daily annoyances.
Its 1000 watts and ten power levels put it alongside the BLACK+DECKER Countertop Microwave for basic cooking capability. Six presets cover popcorn, pizza, beverages, vegetables, potatoes, and leftovers, while number keys and a plus-30-seconds button make manual timing quick. The memory function is the distinction. If you repeatedly heat the same breakfast, lunch, or leftovers, saving a preferred function can remove several button presses.
Chefman also includes a child safety lock and a separate Lock Mode for disabling the control panel. The Audio button can mute the beeps, a surprisingly useful feature in a sleeping household. Eco mode can turn off the display when the microwave is not in use, and the glass turntable is listed as top-rack dishwasher safe.
The listed dimensions are 20.1 inches wide, 15.1 inches long, and 12 inches high, with a weight of 30.91 pounds. That footprint is not compact in the same way as the 0.7-cubic-foot Chefman, so check depth as well as width. The feature list does not mention sensor cooking, convection, or air frying, which keeps the controls simpler but limits automatic cooking.
Compared with the Toshiba Countertop Microwave, this Chefman gives up smart sensor adjustment but gains a clear memory feature. It is a strong fit for routine cooking, especially if mute operation and a disabled display matter. Skip it if you frequently cook large dishes or want one appliance to crisp and bake as well as microwave.
5. Toshiba 4-in-1 Microwave: Best Microwave Convection Combo
Pros
- Microwave, air fry, convection, and combination modes
- 1.5-cubic-foot capacity
- 1000 watts with 10 power settings
- 13.6-inch removable turntable
- Mute, memory, and multistage cooking
Cons
- Large countertop footprint
- More complicated than a conventional microwave
- Added modes require extra accessories and cleanup
Best for: cooks who want microwave convenience plus air frying and convection in one appliance.
The Toshiba 4-in-1 Microwave is for the person who looks at a countertop microwave and sees unused potential. It combines microwave, air fry, convection, and combination cooking, so it can handle jobs that would otherwise call for separate appliances.
Microwave output is 1000 watts, with ten power settings. The 1.5-cubic-foot interior is larger than the conventional 1.1 and 1.2-cubic-foot models, and the 13.6-inch turntable can fit a whole roasted chicken or a 12-inch pizza according to the supplied features. That extra room is helpful for baking and roasting, although it also contributes to the 21.38 by 21.77 by 12.87-inch external footprint.
The appliance includes auto bake, defrost, auto roast, and sensor menus for foods such as frozen pizza and vegetables. Multistage cooking allows microwave and other stages to be combined, while one-touch popcorn, memory, speedy cooking, a clock, and a timer cover routine tasks. The included grill rack and grill tray make the extra cooking modes possible, but they also mean more parts to store.
Compared with the GE 4-in-1 Countertop Microwave, the Toshiba offers a larger 1.5-cubic-foot cavity and explicitly lists combination cooking. The GE is smaller and includes separate racks and a crisper pan. Compared with the Toshiba Large Countertop Microwave, this model gives up some microwave capacity and power in exchange for air-fry and convection capability.
Its main weakness is complexity. If you only reheat meals, the Toshiba Countertop Microwave is easier to use and easier to clean around. Select this model when you will actually use the additional cooking modes and have room for a deep appliance.
6. GE 4-in-1 Countertop Microwave: Best Compact Multifunction Oven
Pros
- Microwave, air fry, convection, and broil functions
- 1050 watts of cooking power
- Includes crisper pan and two wire racks
- Child lock
- Quiet operation is specifically listed
Cons
- Only 1.0 cubic foot of capacity
- Requires clearance on all sides
- More accessories to manage than a basic microwave
Best for: smaller kitchens that need several cooking methods in one appliance.
The GE 4-in-1 Countertop Microwave packs unusual flexibility into a 1.0-cubic-foot cavity. It is not the model for a large casserole, but it can microwave, air fry, convection cook, and broil without requiring separate countertop equipment.
Its listed microwave power is 1050 watts, slightly above the 1000-watt conventional models here. The useful distinction is the cooking hardware: a stainless steel crisper pan for air frying, a tall wire rack for broiling, and a short wire rack for convection. Those components give the oven more range than the BLACK+DECKER Countertop Microwave, though they also reduce the simplicity that makes a basic microwave appealing.
The compact cavity may work well for everyday meals, smaller baked goods, and single or couple-sized portions. Convenience controls include pizza and popcorn, and the product description calls out quiet operation for dorm rooms, offices, and apartments. A child lock can be disabled when it is not needed.
The installation guidance is unusually important. GE calls for three inches of clearance on each side and above, one inch at the rear, and an unobstructed bottom. Its listed dimensions are 20.6 inches wide, 16.6 inches long, and 11.875 inches high. The clearances may make it harder to place than its nominal capacity suggests.
The Toshiba 4-in-1 Microwave is the better fit for larger dishes and a bigger cooking cavity. The GE makes more sense when counter space is limited but air frying, convection, and broiling still matter. Avoid it if you want a turntable-based microwave with maximum interior room.
7. Ninja Crispi MW101: Best for Crisping
Pros
- FusionCrisp combines microwave and air frying
- Flatbed interior without a turntable
- 14 cooking functions
- 450°F air frying
- Dishwasher-safe glassware and crisper plate
Cons
- Heavy at 50.04 pounds
- More specialized than a conventional microwave
- Air fry and FusionCrisp require the specified Ninja glassware
Best for: cooks who want crisp food from frozen ingredients without using a separate air fryer.
The Ninja Crispi MW101 takes a different approach from the other combination ovens. Its FusionCrisp function starts with microwaving and automatically finishes with air frying, targeting the familiar problem of food that is hot but soft. The flatbed interior also eliminates the turntable, leaving a more usable rectangular cooking area.
The microwave input is 1000 watts, while the convection and air-fry input is 1700 watts. Ninja says the air-fry system reaches up to 450°F and uses superheated cyclonic air. Those details make the MW101 more focused on texture than the conventional Toshiba Countertop Microwave, which is designed primarily for heating and defrosting.
There are 14 functions in total: eight microwave presets, five air-fry presets, and FusionCrisp. Microwave options include popcorn, potato, defrost, beverage, soup, frozen dinner, frozen vegetable, and soften butter. Air-fry choices include Max Crisp, Crisp, Air Roast, Air Bake, and Air Broil.
The flatbed provides 40 percent more usable space than a 0.9-cubic-foot turntable microwave according to the supplied listing. Included 5.5-quart glassware is described as holding up to six pounds of wings, four pounds of fries, an eight-pound chicken, or four pizza slices. The glassware and crisper plate are dishwasher safe, and both are listed as free of PFAS, PTFE, and PFOA.
The limitation is that the specialty functions depend on using the correct Ninja Crispi microwave glassware. The appliance is also 20.3 inches wide, 17 inches long, and 14 inches high, and it weighs 50.04 pounds. The Toshiba 4-in-1 Microwave is more conventional and has a turntable, racks, and grill tray. Choose the Ninja when crisping and rectangular usable space matter more than familiar microwave design.
8. Chefman 0.9 Cu. Ft. Microwave: Best Compact Middle Size
Pros
- 900 watts and 10 power levels
- Smaller footprint than full-size models
- Memory function
- Mute and Eco modes
- Dishwasher-safe glass turntable
Cons
- Less interior room than 1.1-cubic-foot models
- No sensor cooking listed
- Lower output than the larger Chefman
Best for: apartments, offices, and kitchens that need a manageable conventional microwave.
The Chefman 0.9 Cu. Ft. Microwave occupies the useful space between a truly small dorm model and a standard countertop oven. It retains the features that make the larger Chefman attractive while trimming the cavity and power for tighter counters.
The unit has 900 watts, ten power levels, and six presets for popcorn, pizza, beverages, vegetables, potatoes, and leftovers. That is enough flexibility for normal reheating and cooking, though the 1000-watt Chefman 1.1 Cu. Ft. Microwave should finish comparable jobs more quickly in many situations. A plus-30-seconds button also keeps short heating tasks simple.
Memory programming is a notable inclusion at this size. The control panel can store frequently used functions, while the child lock and Lock Mode help in shared spaces. The Audio button mutes beeps, and Eco mode can disable the display when the oven is idle. Its glass turntable is listed as top-rack dishwasher safe.
At 18.9 inches wide, 13.27 inches long, and 11.52 inches high, it is notably easier to place than the 20-inch-plus models. The listed weight is 28.44 pounds, enough to keep it planted without making every repositioning a major chore. The smaller 0.7-cubic-foot Chefman is easier to fit, but its 700 watts and reduced capacity impose a clearer limit on dish size.
The weakness is the compromise itself. A 0.9-cubic-foot cavity may not suit large dinner plates or broad containers, and the feature list does not mention sensor cooking or combination modes. Pick it when counter dimensions are the deciding factor and you still want mute, Eco, memory, and ten power levels.
9. Chefman 0.7 Cu. Ft. Microwave: Best for Tight Spaces
Pros
- Small 0.7-cubic-foot cavity
- Ten power levels
- Six presets and express cooking
- Mute button and child lock
- Dishwasher-safe glass turntable
Cons
- 700 watts is the lowest output here
- Limited room for large plates
- No memory function listed
Best for: dorm rooms, offices, and very small kitchens.
The Chefman 0.7 Cu. Ft. Microwave is the answer when a conventional microwave must fit where a conventional microwave normally would not. Its 17.52-inch width and 12.93-inch length make it much easier to accommodate than the larger models, and its 9.53-inch height may help under a low shelf.
The trade-off is clear: this model uses 700 watts and offers a 0.7-cubic-foot cavity. Ten power levels still allow more control than a single-power appliance, while six presets handle popcorn, pizza, beverages, vegetables, potatoes, and leftovers. The number keys and plus-30-seconds control make manual cooking straightforward.
The child safety lock is built into the handle, and the product directions say to pull upward on the top edge of the handle to open the door. A mute option silences the audio, which is useful in a dorm or office. The glass turntable is top-rack dishwasher safe, and the black exterior is described as easy to wipe clean.
The 0.9 Cu. Ft. Chefman is the better compromise if the counter can spare another inch or two and you regularly heat larger containers. The 1.1 Cu. Ft. Chefman adds 1000-watt output and memory programming. This smallest model gives up both, but it remains more flexible than its size suggests.
Do not choose it for family-size plates, rapid cooking, or broad casserole dishes. Choose it for the narrow shelf, student room, office break area, or occasional reheating station where physical fit matters more than speed.
10. Frigidaire Gallery Built-In Microwave: Best for a Built-In Kitchen
Pros
- 2.2-cubic-foot cooking space
- Built-in installation path
- Sensor cooking adjusts time and power
- Trim kits are available in 27-inch and 30-inch sizes
- Fits large dishes and multiple items
Cons
- Trim kit is sold separately
- Requires cabinet planning and precise cutout dimensions
- Microwave output is not stated in the supplied details
Best for: homeowners designing a built-in microwave installation rather than placing an oven on the counter.
The Frigidaire Gallery Built-In Microwave belongs in a different installation conversation from the other nine picks. It is intended for a cabinet or wall opening, not for casually sliding onto a counter. That makes it a poor replacement for the Chefman 0.7 Cu. Ft. Microwave in a dorm, but a potentially clean fit in a planned kitchen.
Its 2.2-cubic-foot cooking space accommodates large dishes and multiple items at once. Sensors determine the appropriate power levels and cooking time, which gives it the same kind of automatic convenience that makes the Toshiba Countertop Microwave appealing. The supplied details do not state microwave output, so this model cannot be compared directly with the 700-watt, 900-watt, 1000-watt, 1050-watt, and 1200-watt countertop units on power alone.
The installation measurements are the critical specifications. The unit is listed as 24 7/16 inches wide, 19 5/8 inches deep, and 13 5/8 inches high. The required cutout is listed as 24 3/4 inches wide, 20 inches deep, and 16 3/4 inches high. A trim kit is available in 27-inch and 30-inch versions, but it is sold separately.
That separate trim kit is the main weakness, because the oven is not a complete built-in visual installation by itself. It also requires careful cabinet measurements and ventilation planning. The Toshiba Large Countertop Microwave provides a similarly large 2.2-cubic-foot capacity while remaining a countertop appliance, so it is the more flexible choice for renters or kitchens without an existing opening.
Choose the Frigidaire when the installation location is already planned and the cabinet dimensions match. Skip it if you want a portable appliance, if the cutout is uncertain, or if you need a published wattage comparison before choosing.
How to choose best microwave oven consumer reports
The Best best microwave oven consumer reports choices differ most in the details that affect daily cooking, not in the appearance of the front panel.
Cooking power
Wattage affects how quickly a microwave heats food, though portion size and food moisture still matter. The Chefman 0.7 Cu. Ft. Microwave has 700 watts, while the 0.9-cubic-foot model has 900 watts and several larger models list 1000 watts. The Toshiba Large Countertop Microwave reaches 1200 watts, making it the strongest conventional option here for large portions.
Interior capacity
Capacity determines whether a plate, casserole, pizza, or larger dish fits without awkward positioning. The 0.7-cubic-foot Chefman is suited to small containers, while 1.0 to 1.2 cubic feet covers typical everyday use. The two 2.2-cubic-foot Toshiba and Frigidaire models are intended for large dishes and multiple items.
Sensors and presets
Sensor cooking uses food humidity to adjust time and power, and it appears on both Toshiba conventional models and the Frigidaire. Presets are simpler, fixed programs for foods such as popcorn, pizza, vegetables, and beverages. Sensors are useful when serving sizes vary, while presets are convenient when the same food appears repeatedly.
A microwave that fits the plate you use every day is more useful than one with a longer menu.
Combination cooking
Air fry, convection, broil, and combination modes can expand a microwave into a broader countertop oven. The GE 4-in-1 and Toshiba 4-in-1 provide several of these functions, while the Ninja Crispi MW101 focuses on microwave, air frying, and FusionCrisp. These models need more counter room and more cleanup than a conventional microwave.
Counter and installation space
Measure width, depth, height, and required airflow before choosing. The GE specifically calls for three inches of clearance on each side and above, one inch at the rear, and an unobstructed bottom. Built-in models require an accurately measured cutout and may need a separate trim kit, as with the Frigidaire.
Controls and noise
Mute buttons are useful in bedrooms, offices, and homes with sleeping children. Eco modes can turn off the display, while memory functions save repeated cooking routines. The Chefman models emphasize these conveniences, whereas the BLACK+DECKER Countertop Microwave keeps its feature set more conventional.
If you are equipping a home with several appliances, how much backup power kitchen equipment can require is worth considering before putting multiple high-input appliances on one circuit.
Frequently asked questions
What size microwave is suitable for everyday meals?
A capacity from 1.0 to 1.2 cubic feet suits many everyday plates, bowls, and frozen meals. The 1.1-cubic-foot BLACK+DECKER and Chefman models, along with the 1.2-cubic-foot Toshiba, sit in that practical range. Larger dishes may require a 1.5-cubic-foot or 2.2-cubic-foot model.
Is 700 watts enough for a microwave?
A 700-watt microwave can handle reheating, beverages, popcorn, and many basic meals. It will generally need more time than a 900-watt or 1000-watt model, and the smaller cavity limits dish size. The Chefman 0.7 Cu. Ft. Microwave is best for small spaces and modest portions.
Are microwave sensors useful?
Sensors can adjust cooking time and power based on humidity from the food. That is helpful when portions change, especially for reheating. The Toshiba Countertop Microwave, Toshiba Large Countertop Microwave, and Frigidaire Gallery Built-In Microwave list sensor cooking.
Do air fryer microwave combos replace an air fryer?
They can combine several cooking jobs in one appliance, but the result depends on cavity design, accessories, and the food being prepared. The GE and Toshiba combination models include air-fry functions, while the Ninja Crispi MW101 uses FusionCrisp to microwave first and finish with air frying. They still need adequate ventilation and counter space.
Does a microwave need a turntable?
No. Most models here use a glass turntable, but the Ninja Crispi MW101 has a flatbed design. A flatbed can provide a more usable rectangular area and removes one component from the cleaning routine.
What is the difference between countertop and built-in microwaves?
A countertop microwave is designed to sit on a stable, ventilated surface and can be moved. A built-in microwave is planned for a cabinet or wall opening and may need a trim kit. The Frigidaire Gallery Built-In Microwave lists specific cutout dimensions, so it should not be treated like a standard countertop unit.
Can microwave beeps be turned off?
Several models list a mute or audio option. The Toshiba Countertop Microwave, Toshiba 4-in-1 Microwave, Chefman models, and Ninja Crispi MW101 include sound-related controls or quiet operation features in their supplied details. The exact button sequence varies by model.
The bottom line
The Best best microwave oven consumer reports pick is the Toshiba Countertop Microwave. Its 1.2-cubic-foot capacity, 1000 watts, smart sensor, six presets, and weight or time defrosting give it the most balanced everyday design. The BLACK+DECKER Countertop Microwave is the better fit for someone who wants a simpler interface without sensor cooking.
For large families, choose the Toshiba Large Countertop Microwave and its 2.2-cubic-foot cavity. For crisping and multipurpose cooking, the Toshiba 4-in-1 Microwave, GE 4-in-1 Countertop Microwave, and Ninja Crispi MW101 each take a different approach. The Frigidaire Gallery Built-In Microwave belongs in a planned cabinet installation, not on an open counter.
If you are undecided, choose the Toshiba Countertop Microwave unless you specifically need the smallest footprint, the largest cavity, or air-frying capability.
