Countertop Microwave Ovens vs. Over the Range Microwaves

Whether you’re trying a new recipe, reheating your meal for dinner, or making popcorn for movie night, a microwave makes your life a whole lot simpler. You can mount them onto your kitchen cabinet or place them on the countertop. Whether you choose an over-the-range microwave or a regular one, a microwave oven gives you fast, even, thorough and quick-cooking options.

Countertop microwaves are ideal for small spaces, offering basic settings such as heat, defrost, and keeping food warm. Microwaves designed to sit on the counter are typically smaller and less expensive than other models and don't require installation. Simply plug them in and you're ready to go.

Over-the-range microwave ovens, on the other hand, free up valuable counter space and will require installation. They typically have an undercarriage that includes a light and a built-in ventilation system to eliminate smoke, steam, and cooking odors.

Best Microwave Ovens for Small Spaces

If you’re starting off in your first apartment or college dorm, you might not know what kitchen appliances you need. Even if your kitchen is small, a countertop microwave oven can rest on virtually any surface in your kitchen. When your space is limited or if you're only heating food for one person, a 0.5 cubic-foot model may be a good choice. Small microwaves may offer just 600 watts of power while larger units can provide up to 1,300 watts. A mini refrigerator and coffee maker are additional must-have appliances for small spaces.
