The microwave oven may be considered a luxury by some but look in almost every American household and you'll find one in at least pretty good working order. Why is this? It all boils down to convenience. Why wait for minutes when you can get your food heated up in a matter of 30 seconds or so? It can do the heating for your favorite dish and you can simply reheat it again and again for your consumption.

These microwaves are primarily used for reheating food and in the preparation of microwave food such as popcorn. They usually cost less than $100 and are very common in offices and college dormitories.
The medium-capacity microwave on the other hand is typically created much wider than the compact microwave. And because of this larger they can be used for a variety of other things. This is the typical family microwave and have a few more auto-cook features than the compact microwave.
Large-capacity microwaves are finally the ones most suited for cooking big meals. They can handle large items like turkey breast and roasts. They have very precise auto-cook features and have temperature control functions as well. They normally use over 2000 watts and have 2 cubic feet of capacity.
In addition there are two kinds of microwaves. The first is the most common variety: the countertop. As the name would imply, they are designed to sit on a table or counter.
