Product Information

Arguably, the best first step you can take in your search for a vintage or retro microwave is to estimate how often you’re going to use the appliance. Doing so will help you find a perfect balance between functionality and the style your new microwave should offer.

Built-in and drawer microwaves operate on a similar principle to over-the-range microwaves when it comes to space-saving. They are usually installed in a kitchen cabinet or wall freeing space on the counter. Whereas built-in microwaves are primarily installed at the eye-level and often above an oven, a drawer microwave is installed at the convenient, lower heights.If you're someone who prefers the more traditional methods of food prep, like baking, cooking on an open fire, or rotisserie, then a convection microwave could be ideal for you. Convection microwaves use the combination of the fan (to circulate the hot air) and radio waves for cooking food. These microwaves often come with a number of features like grills or rotisserie skewers, not to mention a bevy of cooking functionalities. Sensors to detect food temperature - Some microwaves come with sensors that can detect food temperature and shut off once your food is ideally warmed or cooked. This can prevent food "explosions" that tend to happen due to foods being wildly overheated and can save you from excess energy usage. Their old-fashioned look reflects their capabilities since these appliances don’t offer all the functionalities you can expect from contemporary microwaves. They mostly feature modes optimized for defrosting and heating different types of food, as well as safety features that prevent unsupervised use.

The characteristics of microwaves also depend on their type, as some retro models can have a ventilation system or an LED light that illuminates the cooktop. Let’s take a look at some of the most common types of retro and vintage microwaves. Whatever colour kitchen accessories or appliances you are looking for we’ve probably got them (if they exist). We’re always on the look out for unusual coloured appliances such as microwave ovens. But despite our best efforts microwave ovens still don’t come in every colour under the sun – although almost! We’re still defeated by the search for a yellow microwave or a copper coloured microwave!You also need to make sure to leave enough space so that you can open the microwave’s door and access its interior. The model’s capacity is measured in liters or cubic feet, and it suggests how much room its interior can offer. Putting style over functionality isn’t necessarily a good choice, especially if it limits the appliance’s scope of applications. For example, retro and vintage microwaves have limited storage capacities, and they come with a basic set of features.
