The Whirlpool Silver Countertop Microwave Oven is a must-have for small spaces like offices, due to its unusual form and space-saving capabilities. It boasts a robust control lock (ideal for families or offices with small children), as well as 10 selectable power settings for cooking and reheating a variety of items in 30 or 60-second intervals. The streamlined form fits neatly into most corners or may be used as a little countertop centerpiece on its own.

"....I love it. It's the best microwave I've ever had. It takes up such little space, yet it will hold a dinner plate. It is extremely accurate, and when anyone sees it for the first time, it's always the main attraction! I would definitely buy another one."

Countertop microwaves from Commercial Chef are among the most popular and well-reviewed devices on the market. The low price, great value, and exceptionally compact design of this model set it apart. This microwave has mechanical dials with 6 automatic cooking power settings, including defrost and is ideal for tiny workstations. The Commercial Chef microwave, best of all, consumes no electricity when not in use and has no distracting hum, making it suitable for use in peaceful locations such as dorm rooms and offices.

"It works well. Solid. Quiet. Easy to read numbers/control panel. Interior capacity is very large. The light turns on when door is opened, making it easy to see inside. It fits perfectly under my cabinets and sits back nicely from counter's edge. ..."

This popular high-power small microwave type has more than just a compact form. With autonomous, built-in genius sensors that alter power and times based on certain types of meals, smart cooking is the goal here. Pre-set menu choices, a quick timer, a delayed start, and child safety locks are all standard on Panasonic microwaves, which is a great thing to keep in mind if you're looking for the finest microwaves for the office.

"Very happy with this purchase and the speedy delivery. I was looking for a compact microwave that fit our space, was functional and didn't look tinny/plastic. Having owned a full size Panasonic microwave previously, which worked perfectly for 3 years, I decided to stick with the brand..."

WINIA's retro series of compact countertop ovens add vintage flair to your small workspace (0.7 cubic feet, to be exact) while also providing all of the features of a modern microwave. This little model is a true conversation starter, with 5 separate power levels and 5 auto-cook settings suitable for reheating and defrosting. It's also available in a rainbow of color options, including mint (shown), matte cream, rocket red, and city blue.

"I like that this microwave is RED and small. We only warm up up coffee, one plate of leftovers at a time, or cook frozen vegetables. The huge microwave I replaced took up too much countertop. I miss the power of my old one but it’s worth an extra minute to save counter space. The retro red color is perfect."

This small microwave takes up a surprisingly small amount of counter real estate (while still providing 0.6 cubic feet of cooking capacity). Cooking, reheating, and/or defrosting various sorts of food is easy because of the six distinct power settings on the rangefinder. It is exceedingly simple to operate with manual mechanical dial controls (which are excellent for basic operation and are suitable for the workplace). Even better is that an operating timer with a maximum of 30 minutes ensures that every cooking experience is safe, as operators cannot unintentionally enter a longer cooking duration.

"Very nice unit. Doesn't take up much space. Revolving tray inside for even cooking. The dial setting is so much better than the digital, at least for me. So easy to use. Highly recommend this nice and affordable unit."

This compact model's sleek form matches many different styles of contemporary décor, proving it to be a versatile solution for your office space. With 0.7 cubic feet of area and 700 watts of cooking power, you can do it all, microwave popcorn to pizza, defrost frozen meats, and make homemade casseroles. The large-format LED digital display panel keeps track of work, and the 10" dishwasher-safe glass turntable can be removed to clean things up.

"It’s the perfect size for any countertop. It’s a space saving kitchen gadget. So if you’re looking for a small to small/medium countertop microwave, this will probably suffice. Black & Decker is a reliable brand and you get what you pay for with their products. ...."

Another premium small microwave oven with style to spare, the collection of colorful retro models from Galanz is a tribute to the popularity of merging vintage looks with modern capabilities and power. With 700 watts and six different cooking levels, these little countertop choices offer a tremendous culinary punch. The elegant outside shell blends nicely with the modern LED digital display that is excellent for use in your office kitchen, while the removable, rotating internal glass turntable ensures even cooking all around.

"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. It’s simple to figure out and Just looks nicer..."

"Love it for being so small it heats up my food quick even heavier meals like lasagna heat up wit lil to no problem n takes up so lil space in my tiny kitchen I would recommend especially for ppl who dont use microwaves often"

A good, small microwave oven from COMFEE' is what makes this one so popular. It has a lot of unique features that make it stand out from other microwave ovens at this price point. The option to mute all beeps and alarms, which is rare in the microwave market, is even more interesting. Child locks and other safety features are great, but the mute option is even more interesting. Hit the [sound on/off] button to have the quietest, considerate cooking experience that is great for offices. 

"I would recommend this microwave to anyone who wants to save counter space.. I really like it its convenient and lightweight But it is 700w so it takes a little longer to cook things or heat things up which does not bother me at all it's a pearl white it's very nice I recommend it to anyone..."

This stylish and powerfully small microwave type is an outstanding addition to your office countertop with its sleek, black stainless-steel appearance. It's ideal for defrosting frozen meats, with 0.9 cubic feet of internal area and 900 watts of cooking power, while the 10 cooking power settings, express cook buttons, and rotating turntable ensure equal heat distribution every time. The Toshiba also has an LED cavity light that can be dimmed using the ECO mode, which saves electricity.

"I picked this microwave for our work place, because it was rated the best on Wirecutter. I liked it so much that I bought one for my house too."
