Best 1000-watt countertop microwaves
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 3, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: Chefman 1.1 cu. ft. countertop microwave. It's the one I'd buy: a true 1000-watt oven with a 4.5-star average across 500+ ratings, and it's widely sold, so you have options if you want a particular finish or a faster replacement.
Who the others suit:
- Hamilton Beach 1.1 cu. ft. (1000 W) — the budget route if you mainly reheat and defrost; simple dial-free controls, white or stainless finish.
- Toshiba 4-in-1 1.5 cu. ft. — for a bigger family kitchen and air-frying in one box; it's a higher-wattage unit, not a 1000-watt one, so skip it if 1000 W is a hard line.
- 1.1 cu. ft. 1000 W stainless model — a plain, no-frills stainless box if you just want the wattage.
Check the interior size you need: 1.1 cu. ft. fits dinner plates, 1.5 cu. ft. takes a casserole dish.
