COSTWAY's retro 0.7 cu.ft. microwave: a stylish solution for cramped dorms. Compact, vintage, and just loud enough to annoy your neighbors.

Why we chose it:

It's a compact powerhouse with 700 watts, which is more than enough to over-nuke popcorn or gently warm last night's pizza. Its charm lies in pretending to be a relic from the past while featuring modern conveniences like an LED display and child-lock to protect little Timmy from his culinary experiments. Sure, it's got only 0.7 cu.ft. of space, but let's be honest, you're not cooking a Thanksgiving turkey in your dorm room. The retro buttons might make you feel like you're in a time warp, but they're easy to use—unless you're a toddler, then they're impossible, thanks to that child lock. In its price range, it offers a blend of form and function that rivals your grandma's kitchen relics, minus the asbestos."
