6. What should I look for in a microwave?
Here’s what to look for in a microwave before making your decision:
· Size – Most microwaves are between 20 and 30 inches (51 to 76 cm) in width, 11 and 17 inches (28 to 43 cm) in height, and 15 and 19 inches (38 to 48 cm) in depth. Check the dimensions of your space, and product specifications, to confirm your new microwave will fit your space.
· Type – Consider whether you need a countertop or an over-the-range microwave. If your kitchen doesn’t have a range hood, an over-the-range microwave will function like a countertop microwave while helping to remove smoke and cooking odors from the air. Countertop microwaves are easy to move and can be placed on flat kitchen surfaces. Ensure the surface is sturdy, heat-resistant, and can support the microwave's weight without damage.
· Wattage – The higher the wattage, the faster the microwave cooks food.
· Features – Think about features that may be important to you, such as sensor cooking, ECO mode or fingerprint resistance.
· Design – Consider your style and choose a design that complements your kitchen.

8. Microwave vs. oven: what's the difference?
Microwaves use electromagnetic waves to quickly heat food, making them highly efficient for reheating and cooking certain dishes. Ovens, on the other hand, use conventional heating elements to cook food, making them better suited for baking, roasting and browning. Each appliance has its own strengths, so making a choice will depend on your specific cooking needs.
