    Toshiba 0.9 Cubic Foot Microwave Best Overall

    Toshiba 0.9 Cubic Foot Microwave
    $120.90 AT AMAZON.COM

    At only 0.9-cubic-feet, this Toshiba microwave is tiny enough for any sized countertop, but it's powered by 900-watts, so you’ll be able to quickly defrost and cook with 10 power settings, a large digital display, glass turntable, and multiple one-touch settings.

    Panasonic 1.2 Cubic Foot Microwave
    $189.87 AT AMAZON.COM

    With Panasonic's patented Inverter technology, you'll get even heating with all your foods — not just the edges. The 1,200-watt microwave offers a lot of interior capacity, making it great for families or large meals, while still being compact. And though it includes 12 pre-set menu items for foods like pasta and frozen vegetables, a genius sensor automatically adjusts power and cooking time based on the type of food you're looking to heat.

Plus, it comes in this cool city blue hue, as well as other fun options like mint, red, white, and cream.
