Power & Performance
The small size of the Commercial Chef stainless steel microwave oven doesn’t allow you to warm a lot of food in it, and this is pretty much why it’s got a power capacity of about 600 Watts. The commercial microwave is also very limited in the kind of functions that it will be able to perform, so you can only expect it to cook or warm your food in different temperatures. If you’d like to use a microwave that’s got a lot more features for you to explore, then going for the Commercial Chef CHM009 Microwave Oven might be a better idea.
Durability
You should expect to use the Commercial Chef microwave for a pretty long time before it starts giving you problems, as it’s restricted to a few major functions, and is therefore less likely to break down. On top of that, it comes with a 1 year limited warranty, that applies to both parts and labour. Inside, you’ll find that the microwave comes with a removable glass turntable that you can toss into the dishwasher if you’d need to clean, and instead of push button controls, it’s got a dial control for adjusting time, and another one for adjusting its cooking power.
Ease of Use
Using the Commercial Microwave Oven is pretty much a no-brainer because of how easy it is to get to work. It doesn’t come with as many power levels as the Nostalgia countertop microwave, but it still has the right settings for when you want to defrost your food, cook or even melt butter or chocolate. The light duty commercial microwave also has a maximum time limit of 30 minutes, so you won’t be able to have your food get cooked for longer than that. It’s better than the Panasonic NE-1025F compact microwave, which will only allow you to set a maximum time limit of up to 6 minutes. Thanks to inverter technology with the Panasonic Microwave Oven, you’ll be able to use your microwave to cook meals.
Added Features & Versatility
There’s isn’t much else to highlight about the Commercial Microwave oven that doesn’t already point to its ease of use. Unlike most modern microwave ovens, it however doesn’t feature any beeping sounds, and this could be great for anyone who likes preparing meals at night without disturbing anyone.
Value
The Chef Commercial microwave oven that we’ve discussed in this review may not be capable of cooking high volume meals because of its small capacity, but if you’re a student or a single person in your own apartment, the microwave should be big enough to take care of your needs. It also doesn’t consume any electricity while not in use, making it much better in terms of energy efficiency when compared to microwaves that have an always on LED display.
Commercial Microwave Oven Wrap Up
While many commercial microwaves tend to be a lot more feature packed, the Commercial Chef microwave is only ideal for people who just want to be able to warm or defrost their food. It’s easy to use and affordable but you’ll have to make peace with its 30 minutes time limit and 6 power levels.
