Family-sized microwave ~1,6 cuft

Why We Chose It

The BLACK+DECKER microwave is like a 1000-watt butler in your kitchen, minus the British accent and the snarky comments. It's made of stainless steel, because who doesn't like pretending they're in a professional kitchen? With 1.7 cubic feet of space, it's like a tiny apartment for your leftovers. It's not just a pretty face; it comes with 10 cooking levels, which is 9 more than most of us ever bother with. And its 300 CFM fan is strong enough to suck away the remnants of your failed attempt at flambé. It's the microwave for people who want to impress their guests without actually having to learn how to cook. Just don't expect it to do the dishes afterwards.

What It Does

• Cooks faster than your internet can buffer.
• Fits a whole turkey. Or a medium-sized dog. Your choice.
• Turns your kitchen into a light show.
• Vacuums smoke like a seasoned housekeeper.

What It Doesn't Do

• Won't turn you into a Michelin-star chef.
• Doesn't translate 'popcorn' into 12 languages.
• Won’t fit in a studio apartment kitchen.
• Not a substitute for a sous-chef with opposable thumbs.

Tech Specs

• 1.7 cubic feet: It's practically a studio apartment.
• 1000 watts: More power than your hairdryer.
• Stainless steel: Because plastic is so last century.
• 6 quick menus: For people who can't make decisions.

Who It's For

Meet Bob, the bachelor who thinks a microwave meal is gourmet dining. He's all about efficiency, and this microwave's quick-cook buttons are his best friends. Then there's Linda, the multitasking mom, who needs to defrost chicken while helping with math homework and regretting her life choices. This microwave lets her pretend she's got it all together. Finally, there's Gary, the aspiring chef who can't tell a soufflé from a pancake. He loves the automatic cooking functions because they make him feel like he knows what he's doing. Spoiler: he doesn't.
