10 Reviews: Best Portable Microwave for Home (Apr 2024)

The name of the Galanz GLCMKA07BKR-07 is almost as long as the device itself. This 0.7 cubic foot microwave is simple to use, quick, and secure, making it ideal for busy households with children. It’s also adorable and perfect for any kitchen space in your home, due to its retro appearance. This Galanz microwave offers six power levels, defrost settings, a safety lock, and an easy-to-read LED display. It runs on a standard 700 watts. You can keep an eye on the food without having to open the door because the internal lights are bright. To provide constant heating outcomes, the glass turntable revolves smoothly 360 degrees.

"This is my favorite of all microwave I’ve owned. The beebop blue color is beautiful and the retro style/design makes it even better! I love the handle to open it. So much easier (and looks better) than the push button method of opening other microwaves I have owned. I also love the dial rather than pushing numbers...."

"We just moved and have very little counter space, but there is a built in microwave shelf. Had to be very careful on measurements and this fit the bill. Everything works as it should; we like being able to turn the sound off. The light is on while it's running and when you open the door. ..."

"Love the microwave! Quiet and compact! When I pulled it out of the box I was concerned it was going to be too small but dinner plates fit just fine and so does a bottle! I’d say it’s about 2/3 the normal size of a microwave! A little on the pricey side but it definitely looks nice so I’m not mad about it!"

Toshiba’s countertop appliance is a microwave, air fryer, broiler, and convection oven all in one. The air fryer uses little oil to crisp up french fries, nuggets, and wings, the broiler toasts and browns, and the convection oven warms up to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. The features can be used separately or in combination to prepare a wide range of dishes, making it perfect for use as a home microwave. The microwave uses an inverter and has features such as Genius Sensor Cook, Turbo Defrost, and food-specific settings. There’s also a safety lock and a silent mode. It has a 1.2 cubic foot capacity, external dimensions of 22 by 13.4 by 17 inches, and a portable 14.2-inch glass turntable.

"Simple and effective. I love the door handle as apposed to the press button other brands have to open the door - it works a lot better."

This Hamilton Beach microwave may be inexpensive, but that does not imply poor performance. It has a power output of 1,000 watts, which is typically found in higher-priced models. It includes essential features such as an additional 30-second button, a child safety lock, six cooking presets for potato, popcorn, pizza, beverage (one push for every four ounces – great for reheating coffee! ), frozen dinner and reheat, and one-touch express buttons for one to six minutes. It also includes a kitchen timer that works in tandem with the cook cycle.

"We have owed this for two weeks. This is a perfect machine. It heats up coffee in a min and a half. It is powerful. The white lettering is nice and the push door is very nice feature...."

For years, there had been little innovation in microwave technology, until Amazon introduced its own AmazonBasics microwave, which allows you to use simple voice controls to prompt it to heat your food. The manual microwave functions work without Alexa just like any other microwave, but the control panel features are limited. It has a timer, a power level button, an additional 30 seconds button, and three presets for popcorn, timed defrost, and weight defrost, making it an excellent choice for your home microwave. You can use voice controls to access more smart features, such as “defrost eight ounces of ground beef” or “reheat one cup of coffee,” and Amazon is constantly adding new presets.

"This is a very nice microwave. Does all the things that you'd want a microwave to do, with the added benefit of having Alexa do all the work of programming. Another added benefit is having the clock know when the time changes twice a year. I've used this "micro"wave for a bit over a week, and it checks all the boxes. ..."

"After going through a series of current microwaves that have weird controls, lack of features, and bad workmanship, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief... this Panasonic microwave is a keeper!..."

"...I decided I loved the way that this looks so much that I would give it a shot however I did not expect much from it. To my surprise it has a lot of features and is definitely large enough to take a large entrée size bowl..."
