How do I measure my countertop space to ensure a new microwave fits properly?

Measure the width, depth, and height of the space where you plan to place your microwave. Take note of any obstructions, like cabinets or outlets. Allow for a few inches of clearance around the microwave for airflow and easy access.

How are standard microwaves and convection microwaves different?

Standard microwaves rely solely on microwaves to heat food, while convection microwaves include a heating element and fan to circulate hot air. This setup speeds up cooking and provides even heating, similar to what you'd get from a traditional oven.
