Our verdict

A durably built commercial unit with genuine programming depth, though its compact 0.7 cubic foot cavity limits it to individual portions.

Overview

A 1200 watt commercial microwave built for high turnover kitchens, with a stainless steel interior, exterior, and door plus 20 programmable memory pads for repeat orders. Suits restaurants and cafes needing consistent, quick reheats rather than home countertop use.

Its 11 power levels and 3-stage cooking let staff queue a defrost step followed by two different cook powers in one program, useful for items that need to thaw before finishing. At 0.7 cubic feet the cavity is sized for individual portions rather than large trays, so it fits a commercial line rather than family size reheating.

  • 1200 watts, 0.70 cu ft capacity
  • 20 program inputs, 11 power levels
  • Express Defrost runs in 3 stages
  • Digital display with double quantity button

Who it's for

Suits commercial kitchens, cafes, or break rooms that need fast, repeatable reheats of individual portions and can program settings once for staff to recall. Not intended as a large capacity family microwave.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Stainless steel interior, exterior, and door throughout
  • 20 memory pads store repeat settings for staff
  • 3-stage cooking chains defrost with two cook powers
Cons
  • 0.7 cubic foot cavity fits individual portions only
  • One buyer received a damaged unit
  • No consumer-facing recipe presets, geared toward commercial operators

Performance notes

Selectapower technology provides 11 variable power levels, and the 3-stage programming lets a single memory pad step through defrost, then two separate cook powers in sequence. The Express Defrost function splits thawing into three stages aimed at more even results than a single continuous defrost cycle.
