My son is gearing up for his big move to college this fall… which means it’s time to start collecting all of his dorm room essentials now.
One of the biggest wants/needs on his list was a microwave. At his college he has to walk across campus to get to the dining hall. I am guessing that there will probably be a lot of re-heating or warming up microwave snacks in his room to avoid bitter cold conditions or rain. Hence the want/need for a good microwave!
We were sent a Magic Chef 1.3 cu. ft. Countertop Microwave Oven for my son to try out.
This particular model had several nice features that he liked:
Contemporary Design with Stainless Steel Front & Black Cabinet
Easy-Touch Electronic Controls with Digital Display
Convenient Preprogrammed One-Touch Cooking Modes
Auto Defrost Modes by Weight or Time
Express Cooking Function for Quick Cooking & Reheating
User-Friendly Push-Button Door Release for Easy Access
Customize Cooking with the Choice of 11 Power Levels
As you can see, it is not a compact microwave oven. Even so, my son was thrilled with the contemporary style.
