Buying Guide: Commercial Microwaves
Why not use a domestic microwave?
Domestic models aren’t designed for repeated, all-day use. They overheat, wear out quickly, and heat unevenly. Commercial units provide higher wattage, flat-base interiors, and continuous-duty cycles built for busy kitchens.
Heating performance
Commercial microwaves heat food faster and more evenly—penetrating from the inside out. For example, a sauce or curry may reheat in 2 minutes vs 5+ minutes in a domestic model.
Light vs heavy duty
Light duty (900–1000W) suits cafés, tea rooms and light service. Heavy duty (1100–1850W) handles restaurants, canteens, and continuous prep station use.
Design advantages
Flat-base (no turntable) design fits GN pans and reduces failure points. Stackable units save bench space in compact kitchens.
Trusted brands
Our range includes Anvil, Apuro, and Benchstar—reliable microwaves built for foodservice operations.
FAQ
How do commercial microwaves differ from domestic models?
They heat faster, more evenly, and penetrate deeper. A domestic unit may heat unevenly (hot outside, cold inside), while commercial units deliver uniform results batch after batch.
Do commercial microwaves need turntables?
No—flat-base cavities with stirrer technology distribute energy evenly, making them more durable and easier to clean.
Can commercial microwaves run all day?
Yes—built with stronger components and duty cycles designed for continuous service.
What’s the starting price?
From $590+GST, depending on power output, size and brand.
