Since their inception in the 1940s, microwave ovens have come a long way from the absurdly expensive, six-foot-tall, 750-pound behemoths of WWII-era technology they once were.

When hunting for a microwave, consider what you'll be using it for and where it will live, and then decide on how many functions you'll need. While cheap microwaves sort of work, they usually have less wattage and don't distribute heat in the same way that a high-wattage convection microwave oven does. We've got a guide on what to look for over here. 

After hours of research, here are the best microwaves for different types of kitchens and budgets.
