Best Commercial Microwaves Under 1,200 W Ranked

17 light and medium duty commercial microwaves rated 1,000 W.

Last updated: November 9, 2026

These 1,000 W ovens plug into a standard 120 V outlet and cost about $260 to $630. Light-duty models suit break rooms, vending areas and convenience stores; medium-duty models, often with a larger 1.0 to 1.2 cu ft cavity, suit cafes and server stations. The dial versions are the easiest for customers to use, and the keypad versions store programs so staff get the same result each time.
