Top 10 Microwaves Canada 2025

What To Consider When Buying a Microwave 

Sizes

Microwaves come in all different sizes. It’s important to consider what works best for your own situation. The bigger the microwave does not necessarily mean its more powerful. From our experience a mid size microwave is best suitable for most kitchens.

Power

How powerful the microwave is depends on how much wattage the microwave provides. Most microwaves are anywhere between 700-1200 watts of power, the more watts a microwave has, the more powerful it will be. Often the more powerful the microwave is, the bigger it will be, but this is not always the case.

Handle or button

There is all different sorts of microwave designs, depending on where your microwave is located, either or might move the microwave when trying to open the door.   In our experience a button is usually easier to use.

One touch buttons

One touch buttons is a popular feature to have. It allows you to access a function with the touch of one button. It’s nice to have when you’re limited on time and on the go.
