Microwaves: A Time-Saving Kitchen Essential
Whether you're defrosting frozen food, reheating leftovers from your favorite restaurant or melting butter to bake with, microwaves are an essential part of any modern kitchen. Innovations in cooking technology have made these appliances even more convenient, with a variety of unique features to choose from. Whether you're living in your first apartment or designing a dream kitchen, one of our microwaves belongs in your home. Their compact size and affordability make them suitable for a range of lifestyles and budgets so you can find your perfect match. We offer classic, no-frills models as well as the latest and greatest from the biggest kitchen appliance brands like smart microwaves. Choose from built-in, countertop and over-the-range designs depending on your preferences and your kitchen's layout and bring home the ultimate in cooking convenience.
Deciding which of our microwaves is best for your home will depend on the current layout of your kitchen, the available space you have and your cooking preferences. If space-saving is the most important factor in your purchase decision, a built-in or over-the-range model is best for you. Of course, built-in models are the most space-saving as they are installed amongst your cabinetry; however, they typically are more expensive and more permanent, meaning that they're best-suited for those planning on living in their current home for a long time. Over-the-range microwaves also save space and are installed above your kitchen range, as the name suggests. These appliances do double duty as they offer traditional reheating and cooking options but they also act as a ventilation source so you don't have to purchase a separate range hood or island hood. Looking for the most modern option possible? Check out a microwave drawer. Their top-loading design offers easy access for people of any height and their sleek installation looks great in any kitchen. Countertop models don't require any installation, meaning you can use yours straight out of the box. You'll have to sacrifice some counter space, but many will find that the convenience is worth the trade-off.
Discover New Features: Convection, Smart Technology and More
Once you've decided which model is the right fit for your needs, you'll have to consider what kind of features will help you when cooking or baking. Of course, if you're just looking for something to reheat leftovers, then any model will work for you. If you're looking for something a little more high-tech, we have those, too. Smart microwaves connect to your home WiFi and offer a multitude of convenient features; depending on the brand, these cookers can properly heat food by scanning the barcode or easily be controlled via voice assistants like Amazon Alexa. If you're sick of soggy leftovers, a microwave oven with convection cooking will yield more even, crispy results thanks to the powerful fan circulating heat throughout the interior. A less technical (but equally important) feature to consider is the finish of your new appliance; for example, if you have sleek stainless steel appliances throughout your home, you'll want to check out our stainless steel microwaves.
