Why We Recommend It: It's a powerful and feature-rich microwave that doesn't compromise on performance despite its small size. The combination of the trusted Toshiba brand, smart features like the Mute Mode, and a space-saving design makes it the ideal choice for anyone outfitting a dorm, apartment, or any kitchen where space is at a premium.
