Here's some stuff from Consumer Reports:
Quote:
Most models did a respectable job of basic microwaving tasks such as defrosting meats, reheating leftovers, and making popcorn. You'll probably pay more for an oven with a larger capacity, stainless-steel finish, lots of presets, and additional functions like convection and speed cooking.
For a basic countertop unit:
The Kenmore (Sears) 6633[9] and 6325[2] excelled in our defrosting test and are slightly more spacious. The Panasonic Inverter NN-SD697[S] was excellent at evenly heating food and offers optional wall mounting. All three have sensors, which detect when food is done and automatically turn off the oven. Choose the Sanyo EM-S6588S for its low price.
The midsized Cuisinart CMW-200 has a grill mode, convection, and speedcook. Among larger countertop units, the GE JES2251SJ[SS] tops the category and offers the most usable space. The Panasonic Inverter NN-T945[S]F was very easy to use and is available in stainless steel and can be mounted on the wall. Choose the Whirlpool Gold GT4175SP[b] or GE Profile PEB2060DM[BB] for its consistent performance; the GE can be wall mounted. Select the Panasonic Inverter NN-SD797[S] or the Magic Chef MCD1611ST for its relatively low price, or the Kenmore (Sears) Elite 6790[9] for its convection and speedcook options. The Frigidaire Gallery FGM0205K[F] offers impressive heating evenness and defrosting.
