- Microwaves with Air Fry: These versatile models use a high-powered fan and heating element to circulate hot air, allowing you to "fry" food with little to no oil. This technology is available in both over-the-range and countertop styles, providing the results of a standalone air fryer without the extra counter clutter.

Frequently Asked Questions: Microwaves
 What is the best brand of microwave​?
The right choice depends on your kitchen layout and cooking style. Sharp is widely recognized as the industry leader for Sharp microwave drawers, offering a sleek, under-counter design that saves counter space and provides ergonomic access. For those looking for professional-style features and reliable performance, KitchenAid microwaves and Frigidaire microwaves are both highly recommended options. These brands offer a variety of styles, including over-the-range and built-in models, designed to integrate seamlessly into modern kitchen suites.
What is the best wattage for a microwave​?
For most households, 900 to 1,100 watts is the ideal range. This power level ensures that food cooks quickly and evenly. While compact, budget-friendly models often have lower wattage (700-800 watts), they may take significantly longer to heat food and can result in cold spots.
What is the smallest microwave oven​?
Small countertop microwaves typically start at around 0.7 cubic feet. These compact units are roughly 15 to 17 inches wide, making them a popular choice for dorm rooms, studio apartments, or small office spaces where saving counter space is a priority.
Where do you dispose of microwaves​?
Microwaves require specialized handling and should not be left for standard trash pickup. To simplify your upgrade, the Silica team provides free, one-for-one appliance removal and safe recycling when you purchase a new microwave. We handle the entire process with care and never leave old units at the curb, ensuring your old appliance is disposed of responsibly.
