• Built-In Microwaves & Microwave Drawers: These models integrate directly into cabinetry or kitchen islands for a high-end, custom look. Microwave drawers offer ergonomic top-loading access and "push-to-open" functionality, keeping countertops clear and utilizing sensor cooking for consistent results.
• Over-the-Range Microwaves: This dual-purpose design combines a microwave with a powerful kitchen ventilation system. These units mount above your cooktop to clear smoke and odors while providing integrated task lighting. 
• Countertop Microwaves: These versatile units require zero installation and are ideal for quick reheating and defrosting. We offer various sizes and power levels, including models with inverter technology for more even heating and precise temperature control.
• 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.
