Danby Designer DDMW007501G1 Countertop Microwave

Overview

Apartment kitchens, condos and RVs with little counter space are the target here. The Danby microwave can stand on a countertop or hang under a cabinet with the included kit, and a glass turntable rotates food while a keypad sets time, power and auto programs.

Hanging the unit under a cupboard frees counter space, and the kit for that ships in the box. Cooking power is modest and the cavity is small, so large dinner plates and family dishes will be a squeeze. The listing also gives two different wattage figures, worth noting before you rely on heating times.

Who it's for

Small kitchens where the counter is already crowded get the most from a microwave that can move up under a cabinet. Families who cook big portions or want fast high-power heating should look at a larger model.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Heating speed follows the cooking power, and the description rates it at a modest level, so dense or frozen food needs more time and a stir partway. The turntable rotates food through the microwave field to even out hot spots, but its small diameter limits what can turn freely. Auto programs set time and power for common foods, removing guesswork for popcorn, pizza and reheating.
