Best Compact Microwave for Small Space in 2025 | Need Advice

[dhoni4455]

 I researched about the best compact microwaves for the past few days because I need one that can easily fit in my small kitchen space. I read reviews on the New York Times, Consumer Reports, and Popular Mechanics, and they are recommending these two as the best options:

BLACK+DECKER EM031MB11 Digital Microwave Oven

TOSHIBA EM131A5C-BS Countertop Microwave Ovens

https://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-EM131A5C-BS-Microwave-Interior-Stainless/dp/B071WCB1T6/?th=1

However, I am having trouble deciding which one would best suit my needs and would love your advice. My usage will mostly be reheating food, defrosting, making quick snacks, and sometimes light cooking. I also want something energy-efficient and not too bulky.

So, which one should I go for? Any personal recommendations or experiences would be greatly appriciated.thanks in advance
