We'll also provide some tips for choosing a microwave that's right for you. So, whether you're in the market for a new microwave or just curious about what's out there, keep reading!

Who makes the most reliable microwaves?



Our list of the most reliable microwaves is based on a survey conducted by Whirlpool Corporation. To learn more about this survey, see our blog post about microwave reliability.

Panasonic and LG each had one model rated as excellent (the highest quality category), with none of their models receiving ratings of poor or very poor (the lowest quality categories).

Samsung and GE each had two models that received excellent ratings; Panasonic and LG each had three models that received excellent ratings.

In addition, Whirlpool Corporation – the parent company of Amana – rated all its microwaves as either good or excellent. In other words, every model from this company received a rating of good or excellent.

So, if reliability is important to you, then it might make sense to go with one of these brands. Before making your decision though, you may want to consider other factors like features and price. Let's discuss how to choose the best microwave over the range for your needs next.

How do you choose the best microwave?

There are a number of things to consider when choosing the best microwave over the range. For example, you'll want to think about how many watts it has as this will determine what you can heat up in it and for how long. In addition, you may need to decide which features are most important to you. 

Some microwaves have a pre-programmed popcorn button that automatically sets the time and power level for you. Other microwaves have a sensor that monitors steam coming from food as it cooks, which helps keep your microwave from turning itself off when cooking something like soup or noodles.

As you might expect, most microwaves have defrost options so you can quickly thaw out your food. Some models come with a keypad lock so you can keep the kids from changing the settings. 

Other microwaves have a child safety lock that requires you to press two buttons simultaneously in order for it to open up. Still, other microwaves offer push button controls that are easy to use and understand.

So, how do you choose the right microwave for you? We recommend taking a close look at the features offered by the models you're considering and comparing them to your own cooking habits. 

You may also want to check out online reviews posted by other customers who have already bought and used these products. And, if possible, we suggest trying out a few different microwaves before making your final decision.

Which is the best microwave?

So, which is the best microwave out there? The truth is that microwaves from different manufacturers are pretty similar in terms of their core features and functionality. In other words, it may come down to a matter of personal preference when deciding which one you want to buy. 

For example, you may prefer one that is easy to use, while your spouse might be more concerned with the wattage rating. Or you might want a microwave that has more cooking presets, while another person may just want a simple model.

However, we don't think it makes sense to choose a microwave-based solely on its name brand or the price tag. Think about what matters most to you and then find a model that offers those features. In other words, do your homework before going shopping for a microwave.
