Buy the Nostalgia Retro Countertop Microwave Oven.

More power and more room where it actually counts, every single time you heat food.

What was compared

  • Nostalgia Retro Countertop Microwave Oven · $144.99
  • Galanz GLCMKA07BKR-07 Microwave Oven · $108.29

Five reasons

  1. 1. Reheats faster, no cold spots

    800 watts against the Galanz's 700 means less time waiting and fewer cold centers in frozen dinners. That gap shows up every day you nuke a plate, not just on a spec sheet.

  2. 2. Room for a real dinner plate

    At 0.9 cu ft the Nostalgia beats the Galanz's 0.7 cu ft, enough for a full-size plate or a bigger bowl without tilting it sideways. That extra room matters every time you heat an actual meal, not just a mug of coffee.

  3. 3. One touch for more meals

    12 dedicated presets cover popcorn, potato, pizza and more, while the Galanz leans on basic auto cook, reheat and defrost. Less guessing on time and power for the foods you actually reheat most often.

  4. 4. Starts cooking before you're there

    The Nostalgia's delay timer lets you queue cooking in advance, something the Galanz's control panel does not offer. Small thing, but it shows up anytime you're juggling other tasks while food waits.

  5. 5. Yes it costs $36 more. Worth it.

    The Galanz undercuts it at $108.29 against $144.99, a real gap on a small appliance. That extra money buys 100 more watts and 0.2 more cubic feet you will use on literally every meal, not a gimmick you'll ignore.
