Peak microwave UX is today, IMO — modern commercial microwaves. You seem like my people, so check this out — https://shop.sharpusa.com/medium-duty-commercial-microwave-o...

Consumer-grade microwaves are made to look cool, not to use. Commercial microwaves are made to make money. One dial, no bullshit.

And check out the scale on the dial. That’s modern, no old-skool 2-dial microwaves can do that, AFAIK.

So this can only do the full 1000 W power? Kind of a one trick pony, no way to melt butter or a dozen other things that need lower power. For a restaurant that only needs to heat a few different items at high speed it's probably fine.

Up voted for basic commercial unit recommendation.

I have one of Panasonics upper model flatbed microwaves that also acts as a fan forced oven with traditional oven element and fan, and as a grill with two overhead halogen grilling elements.

I picked it up for 50% RRP as it marked down for a minor defect I can’t even recall.

It’s 1900 watt on full microwave power, if I recall correctly, where most on the market amend here are 1400 watt. Makes a lot of difference, browning the top of food is easy with a bit of oil.

I can’t really fault it, it’s super easy to keep clean and works great for baking where using full size oven is overkill.
