How to Choose a Microwave | Microwave Buying Guide

In this video, Chef Anthony Marino of Don's Appliances talks about three different styles of microwaves and the various features they each come with.

Considerations Before Buying a Microwave:

1. What is your budget? An over the range microwave can be more expensive but it is providing you with two appliances in one: a microwave plus kitchen ventilation.

2. How much do you cook and what do you cook? If you do a lot of high heat cooking you may need a more powerful vent than an over the range microwave can provide.

3. How wide of a cooktop to you have? Over the range microwaves are typically built to fit in a 30 inch space and only work over max a 30 inch cooktop, if you have a 36” or greater it is not advisable to use only a 30” vent to vent out the smoke, heat and grease.

4. Who uses your microwave? For example, if children will need on to use the microwave, having it over a range may make it very difficult to use.

5. How valuable would extra counter top space effect your food preparation? If extra food preparation space would help you in creating meals easier, safer, and faster, then an over the range microwave is definitely something you should look into.
