Choose the Best Countertop Microwave for Convenient, Quick Cooking
From reheating leftovers to popping popcorn, a countertop microwave brings convenient cooking to your kitchen. At Lowe's, our options come in a variety of sizes and offer a range of cooking features. Whether it's an LG, Samsung, GE or Whirlpool countertop microwave, you can easily find the best one for your needs.
Large microwaves on countertops take up valuable counter space, so if you're already working with minimal room but need the quick benefits of a microwave, opt for a small countertop microwave. A small microwave is also great for dorms or rec rooms. Mid-size and full-size options are also available if space in your kitchen permits. A large microwave can also work in a break room at work. You can also choose to have a microwave mounted. This type of storage would usually be inside a cabinet that's built specifically for a microwave, with cutouts for air circulation. An over-the-range microwave is a real space-saver when space is at a premium.
If you want to add a little more to your cooking experience, consider a model that offers a nice selection of features. Countertop convection microwaves use a fan to circulate hot air evenly around the dish, resulting in perfectly cooked food. Buttons for common tasks — like heating pizza or making hot chocolate — and nonstick interiors for easy cleanup are also available options, so think about what features would be beneficial to you as you shop. A convection microwave oven for countertops lets you heat, roast, bake and broil food more evenly than a microwave oven alone.
The way the microwave oven looks is also important. From traditional white and bold red options to countertop stainless steel microwaves, you can find the color or finish that fits your kitchen's style. For durability, nothing beats a stainless-steel countertop microwave. It's easy to clean and looks great alongside your other stainless-steel appliances. Some even offer different designs, like the Whirlpool® countertop microwave with a rounded back that can be tucked into a corner to maximize space.
