Magic Chef Compact Countertop Microwave
Score: 80/100Rankings
The Midea MOR17BSA-SS is an over-the-range microwave offering a spacious 1.7 cu ft cavity and 1000 W cooking power, highlighted by its strong 300 CFM ventilation and smart touch controls. Its installation demands professional venting and the unit is relatively heavy, which may deter DIY setups. Ideal for families needing high capacity and integrated venting in a standard 30-inch wall cabinet.
The Magic Chef Compact Countertop Microwave offers 1.1 cu ft capacity, 1000 W power, and convenient features like auto defrost and a child lock in a digital interface. It lacks advanced functions such as convection or extensive preset programs, and some listings show dimension inconsistencies. Suitable for budget-conscious households needing reliable basic microwave performance.
