Additionally, appliances with comparably less wattage will cook food slower and less evenly. High-end black microwaves have 1,000 watts or more, but typically cost more than 700-watt machines.
Where Should You Put Your Black Microwave?

Typically, a countertop provides enough space for a microwave without being overcrowded by other appliances.
Because you’ll often be warming up cold or frozen food and beverages, it’s smart to place your black microwave near a refrigerator or other place where cold food is stored. It is also important to have ample seating, like a cafeteria table, nearby so users don’t have to carry their hot food too far.
