Samsung - 32L Microwave 1000W - Mirror Finish.

Internal capacity of countertop microwaves can range in size from 0.5 cubic feet (large enough to fit most 10-inch dinner plates, but not much else) to a little over 2 cubic feet (should accommodate larger cookware). The most common size is in the 1-2 cubic feet range.

The microwaves that range between 800-1,000 may offer more versatility in cooking, reheating and defrosting your favorite foods. Select models come with additional features such as the 950-watt Maytag® Microwave with Dual Crisp that crisps up everything from soggy pizza slices to frozen fries.

As a general guideline, consider choosing a microwave with around 1,000 watts as this is a standard power for most recipes. It's important to be selective about your microwave's functions and choose a model with wattage, shortcuts and functionality suited to how you use a microwave.

What microwave wattage do I need? When it comes to microwaves, wattage equals power. A 1,000-watt microwave will cook quickly and efficiently, so that's a great baseline. Microwaves with 700 watts or less are slower and may not cook evenly.
