Microwave Brands
Amana
The Amana Radarange microwave oven was introduced by the Raytheon company in 1967, and helped bring about the common use of microwaves in the home. The Amana Radarange still has the largest cooking capacity of any microwave brand. Amana's Sensor Cook feature monitors humidity and adjusts power levels and cooking time accordingly.
Bosch
The Bosch microwave brand features built-in, countertop, and over-the-range models. Bosch's 1,100 Watt built-in microwave oven is programmable and features 10 power levels plus a child lockout feature.
GE
GE sells microwave ovens under its GE Monogram brand and the GE Profile brand. GE Monogram microwave ovens are large, built-in ovens, while the GE Profile microwave brand features smaller, countertop and over-the-range models.
Jenn-Air
The Jenn-Air brand offers high-end, high-powered microwave ovens typically around 950 to 1,100 watts. Jenn-Air microwave/wall oven combos are popular among home chefs.
KitchenAid
KitchenAid's microwave brand includes a wide range of styles, features, and options, from affordable countertop microwaves to high-capacity built-in microwave ovens. KitchenAid's built-in microwave series also includes convection microwaves and speed ovens for the serious cook.
Panasonic
Panasonic promotes its microwave brand as the one with an inverter turbo defrost feature. The inverter defrost uses a low-power delivery that promises to provide more consistent results and a natural, flavorful food texture.
Samsung
The Samsung microwave brand produces some of the most popular and highly rated microwave ovens on the market. Samsung grill microwave ovens are a different twist on the usual design. One touch Indian cooking is also a feature of some Samsung models, which might explain how Samsung won India's 2005 EFY Consumer Choice Award.
