Our verdict

A straightforward countertop microwave with inverter power and one-touch presets for everyday reheating and defrosting. It is wider than it is deep, so measure the counter run before ordering.

Overview

Not an over-the-range model, the Frigidaire is a countertop microwave with inverter technology and a soft-touch electronic panel. Presets handle common foods with one press, while cook by weight and defrost by weight set the time from the food mass you enter.

Inverter control and defrost by weight take the guesswork out of thawing, and the child lock suits homes with small kids. The spec sheet carries obvious errors in its voltage and energy fields, so read the rating label instead of trusting those entries.

Who it's for

Small households reheating leftovers and thawing meat get presets that handle common foods with a button press. Renters who want the microwave off the counter, or cooks who want convection or grilling, should look elsewhere since neither is listed.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Inverter technology for even low-power cooking
  • Cook and defrost by weight
  • Speed defrost alternates defrost and stand times
  • Child safety lock
Cons
  • Voltage and energy specs are clearly wrong
  • Wide for a compact microwave
  • Convection and grill modes absent
  • Unit weight not listed

Performance notes

Inverter control holds a steady reduced power level instead of cycling full power on and off, so defrosting and low settings heat more evenly. Cook by weight and defrost by weight work out time from the mass you enter, so accurate entry matters. The turntable rotates food through the oven cavity to limit cold spots.

Frequently asked questions

What comes in the box with the Frigidaire EMW122?

The listing names only the microwave as the included component, and the description adds a removable glass turntable. No mounting kit is listed, since it is a countertop model.

Can the Frigidaire EMW122 be mounted over the range?

No. Its installation type is countertop, and no trim kit or mounting hardware is listed.

Is the Frigidaire EMW122 turntable dishwasher safe?

Yes. The description says the glass turntable can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher, and the interior and exterior wipe down with a damp cloth.

What voltage does the Frigidaire EMW122 need?

The spec sheet lists 1000 volts, which is not a real household figure and looks like a data error. Check the rating label or manual for the actual supply.

Does the Frigidaire EMW122 have a child lock?

Yes. The description lists child safety-lock protection along with a start and stop button and a reset button.
