How to choose
Count functions before capacity
A multifunction microwave is decided by what it can do, not by size alone. The GE combines microwave, air fry, convection and broil, while the TOSHIBA offers 8 functions, including microwave, air fry, convection, broil, combi, low temperature, odor removal and defrost. The FRIGIDAIRE and Magic Chef focus on pre-programmed microwave cooking, with 6 options or modes each. Compare the function list first, then check whether the capacity fits your dishes.
Capacity, wattage and turntables
Capacity runs from 0.7 cu ft for the Magic Chef to 1.1 cu ft for the FRIGIDAIRE, with the GE and TOSHIBA at 1.0 cu ft. Wattage runs from 700 watts for the Magic Chef to 1,050 watts for the GE, with the TOSHIBA and FRIGIDAIRE at 1,000 watts. Turntable size also matters for dishes: the GE and TOSHIBA have 12.4 inch turntables, while the FRIGIDAIRE has a 12 inch turntable. Match capacity, wattage and turntable size to the dishes you use most.
Controls, defrost and upkeep
All four have defrost: the GE and TOSHIBA have auto defrost or pro defrost, the FRIGIDAIRE has auto defrost for meat, poultry and fish, and the Magic Chef has auto defrost by weight or time. For upkeep, use the glass turntables on the FRIGIDAIRE and Magic Chef, and keep the GE clearance clear on each side, above and at the rear, and keep the bottom unobstructed.
