The Toshiba ML-EM45PIT(SS) is a 1.6 cu ft countertop microwave featuring 1250 W inverter power and smart sensor cooking. It lacks convection functionality and needs rear clearance, which may limit placement. Suited for users wanting fast, even heating in a compact countertop unit.
The Nostalgia Retro Pink countertop microwave delivers 0.9 cu ft capacity, 800 W power, and a child-lock safety feature within a vintage-styled package.
