Toshiba ML-EM09PA Black
Score: 65/100Rankings
The Panasonic NN-SN65KW provides 1.2 cu ft capacity, 1200 W inverter power, child lock, and 15 preset programs, combining safety and versatility. It lacks convection cooking and its touchscreen controls may not suit all users. Suited for small families or apartment dwellers wanting a feature-rich countertop microwave.
The Toshiba ML-EM09PA is a compact 0.9 cu ft countertop microwave delivering up to 900 W output and featuring six preset menus, child lock, and mute mode. Its slower heating due to a measured 628 W output and limited interior size are notable drawbacks. Best suited for single users or small apartments.
