Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know what size microwave I need?
Measure your intended installation space and consider your typical use. Compact models (0.7-1.0 cu ft) work for reheating and small portions, while mid-size (1.1-1.6 cu ft) handles most family needs, and large models (1.7+ cu ft) accommodate bigger dishes and cooking tasks.
What's the difference between sensor and manual cooking?
Sensor cooking automatically detects moisture and adjusts cooking time and power levels, while manual cooking requires you to set specific time and power settings. Sensors offer convenience but manual controls provide more precise control for experienced users.
How much power do I really need?
Most cooking tasks work well with 900-1000 watts. Higher wattage (1100+ watts) cooks faster but may require more attention to prevent overcooking. Lower wattage (700-800 watts) models cook more gently but take longer.
Should I choose a countertop or over-the-range model?
Countertop models are easier to install and replace but take up counter space. Over-the-range models save counter space and often include ventilation fans, but require proper mounting and electrical connections, making replacement more complex.
