Farberware Countertop Microwave Oven
Score: 73/100
Nostalgia Retro Yellow
Score: 64/100Rankings
The Farberware 0.7 cu ft stainless-steel microwave provides 700 W power with a sleek compact footprint and convenient child lock. Its lower wattage and modest capacity can result in slower heating for bigger dishes. Ideal for apartments and dorms where space is at a premium.
The Nostalgia Retro Yellow microwave provides a compact 0.9 cu ft interior with 800 W output and a nostalgic design that fits tight countertop spaces. Its lower power and limited cooking features, such as a single speed and lack of child lock, restrict its usefulness for larger meals. Best suited for individuals or couples seeking style and basic reheating in small kitchens.
