Chefman 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave vs Frigidaire 1.1 Cu. Ft. Countertop Microwave

The Chefman is the stronger pick for most people: 1000W versus 900W, a larger 12 3/8-inch turntable, 10 power levels, and a mute option, backed by 504 ratings at 4.5. The Frigidaire is a simpler 900W unit with 8 auto-cook menus and a smaller 9-inch turntable, and its 4.6 rating rests on only 40 reviews. Both are basic countertop microwaves with no sensor cooking, inverter or convection, so neither is a step up in cooking technology. Choose the Frigidaire mainly if you want a white finish or a smaller footprint.

• Choose the Chefman if you want more power, a bigger turntable for full dinner plates, and a mute setting for quiet kitchens.
• Choose the Frigidaire if you need a white microwave to match your kitchen and prefer simple preset cooking over manual power levels.
