    Toshiba 0.9 Cubic Foot Microwave Best Overall

    Toshiba 0.9 Cubic Foot Microwave
    $120.90 AT AMAZON.COM

    At only 0.9-cubic-feet, this Toshiba microwave is tiny enough for any sized countertop, but it's powered by 900-watts, so you’ll be able to quickly defrost and cook with 10 power settings, a large digital display, glass turntable, and multiple one-touch settings.

    Panasonic 1.2 Cubic Foot Microwave
    $189.87 AT AMAZON.COM

    With Panasonic's patented Inverter technology, you'll get even heating with all your foods — not just the edges. The 1,200-watt microwave offers a lot of interior capacity, making it great for families or large meals, while still being compact. And though it includes 12 pre-set menu items for foods like pasta and frozen vegetables, a genius sensor automatically adjusts power and cooking time based on the type of food you're looking to heat.

    GE Profile 1.1 Cubic Foot Countertop Microwave
    $469.00 AT AMAZON.COM

    This top-selling GE microwave will definitely give you the most bang for your buck. It’s not loaded with many bells and whistles, but you’d be surprised at how much it can accomplish. It's got one touch instant-on controls, 800 watts of power, and a large 16-inch turntable.

    COSTWAY Retro Countertop Microwave Oven Petite Pick

    COSTWAY offers a retro vibe that gives you that pizzazz your kitchen so desperately needs. The microwave is a very petite 0.9 cubic feet wide, which makes it a perfect space-saving pick for smaller kitchen spaces. Plus, it comes in this cool city blue hue, as well as other fun options like mint, red, white, and cream.

    Frigidaire 1.8 Cubic Foot Stainless Steel Over the Range Microwave
    $376.94 AT AMAZON.COM

    Looking to mount your microwave over your oven? This one's for you. This sturdy 1.8-cubic-foot appliance powers at 1000 watts, and it comes with 10 power levels and a LED cooktop light. Mounting yourself takes a bit extra time, but is worth it if you want to save in service fees.
