Our verdict

A compact button-controlled microwave for reheating and simple cooking in a small kitchen or office. The low wattage means slower heating, so larger dishes take longer to cook through.

Overview

Reheating leftovers, defrosting and running preset programs are all handled from a button panel on the compact Magic Chef countertop microwave. A glass turntable rotates food inside a ceramic-lined cavity, and the turntable lifts out for washing.

Small footprint and a full set of presets make it easy to place in a dorm, break room or studio apartment. Low power output is the limitation, since dense or large portions need extra time and a stir halfway. Control is by buttons only, with no sensor cooking mentioned.

Who it's for

Suited to a studio kitchen, a dorm room or a shared office counter where space is short and the job is mostly reheating. Families who microwave large dishes every day will find the cavity and power too limited.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Compact footprint for short counters
  • Many power levels for gentle heating
  • Preset programs plus auto defrost
  • Child safety lock included
Cons
  • Low wattage slows heating of big portions
  • Turntable diameter not listed
  • Button panel only, no dial
  • Small cavity limits wide casserole dishes

Performance notes

Heating speed is set by the output of the microwave, and at this power level food warms more slowly, so stirring and standing time matter. Lower power levels cycle the heat on and off, which helps thaw and soften without cooking the edges. The rotating turntable moves the plate through the field to even out hot spots.
