Microwave Brands

Cabinet Depot is an appliance and cabinetry retailer that sells microwave ovens from multiple manufacturers. This page lists each microwave brand in the Cabinet Depot catalog and shows the installation types each brand offers. Brands can differ in configuration, styling, features, sizes, and installation requirements, so use the brand pages to compare individual models and the comparison table to compare brands.

Quick answer

Microwave brands differ in the types of appliances they offer, including over-the-range, built-in, countertop, and drawer configurations. The right brand depends on the installation type, dimensions, cooking features, design preferences, and product availability. Cabinet Depot organizes microwave options by brand so shoppers can compare manufacturers and individual models.

Microwave Types and Installation Formats

Brand, microwave type, and installation format together determine which models fit a kitchen. Each brand page lists the models Cabinet Depot carries for that brand.

What is an over-the-range microwave?

An over-the-range microwave is installed above a range or cooktop and usually includes a built-in vent. Microwave brands vary in dimensions, ventilation, controls, and features, so shoppers should confirm the exact installation requirements for each model before purchasing.

What is a built-in microwave?

A built-in microwave is installed into cabinetry or a wall opening instead of sitting on a counter. Cabinet integration depends on the model's cutout dimensions and, for some models, a separate trim kit. Installation requirements are specific to each model.

What is a microwave drawer?

A microwave drawer is a built-in microwave that opens like a drawer and is commonly placed in a base cabinet or island. Shoppers should measure the cabinet opening and compare each model's published cutout dimensions, because sizes differ by brand and model.

What is a countertop microwave?

A countertop microwave is a freestanding microwave that sits on a counter and plugs into an outlet. Shoppers should check capacity, the counter space available, ventilation clearance around the unit, and the electrical requirements listed for the model.

What is a convection microwave?

A convection microwave combines microwave cooking with a convection-based cooking mode. Exact capabilities vary by model, so shoppers should verify cooking modes, power requirements, dimensions, and installation specifications before purchasing.

How to Choose a Microwave Brand

Choosing a microwave brand is only one part of the decision. Individual models within the same brand can differ significantly in dimensions, capacity, power, ventilation, controls, cooking modes, and installation requirements.

Installation type
Over-the-range, built-in, countertop, or drawer. This narrows the field more than brand does.
Available space and width
Measure the opening or counter area, then compare against each model's published dimensions. Microwave dimensions are not standardized across brands or models.
Capacity and wattage
Compare cubic-foot capacity and cooking power on each model's specification sheet.
Ventilation needs
Over-the-range models act as a range vent in many kitchens. Check airflow ratings and venting options per model.
Convection capability
Only some models include a convection mode. Confirm cooking modes on the model page.
Controls, finish, and trim kits
Compare control layout and finish, and check whether a built-in model needs a separate trim kit.
Smart functionality
Check whether a model lists Wi-Fi or app control before assuming it.
Coordinated appliance suites
Matching a microwave to your range, refrigerator, and dishwasher finish is a design choice Cabinet Depot can help plan.
Warranty, availability, and service
Review the manufacturer's warranty terms, current availability, and service options for the specific model.

What is the best microwave brand?

There is no single microwave brand that is best for every kitchen. The right choice depends on installation type, dimensions, desired cooking features, design preferences, coordinated appliances, budget, product availability, and service considerations. The comparison table on this page shows which installation types each brand sold by Cabinet Depot offers.

Which microwave brand is most reliable?

Reliability cannot be accurately ranked from product descriptions alone. Cabinet Depot does not publish failure-rate or service-rate data, so this page does not rank brands by reliability. Shoppers can evaluate warranty terms, the manufacturer's service network, parts availability, verified customer reviews, manufacturer support, model history, and independent reliability studies.
