Microwaves

A commercial microwave is one of the most used pieces of equipment in any restaurant kitchen. It handles reheating, defrosting, melting, and finishing tasks dozens of times per service, and it needs to do all of that quickly, consistently, and without breaking down under the pressure of a busy line. At Nishi Enterprise, our Microwaves collection brings together 11 commercial-grade microwave ovens from three trusted brands, Waring, Amana Commercial, and Winco, covering wattage options from 1000W all the way up to 2100W and price points from $399 to $1,973. Whether you are outfitting a small cafe, a high-volume restaurant, or a catering operation, there is a unit here that fits your throughput and your budget.

Waring Commercial Microwaves: Straightforward and Dependable

Waring's two microwave models offer a simple, no-fuss entry into commercial-grade heating. The Waring WMO90 Medium-Duty Microwave Oven runs on standard 120V at 1000W and offers 0.9 cubic feet of interior space, making it a practical and affordable option at $399 for smaller kitchens, cafes, or back-of-house stations that need a reliable unit for light to medium reheating tasks. It plugs into a standard outlet, which makes installation simple and flexible. For operations that need significantly more power and capacity, the Waring WMO120 Heavy-Duty Microwave Oven steps up to 1800W on 208/230V with 1.2 cubic feet of interior space, giving you faster, more even heating across a larger cooking cavity. At $1,973, it is the premium option in the Waring lineup and is built for kitchens that need consistent, high-speed performance throughout a full service.

Amana Commercial Microwaves: High-Volume Performance at Every Wattage

Amana Commercial is one of the most widely used microwave brands in the foodservice industry, and for good reason. Their units are built specifically for commercial kitchen environments, with heavy-duty construction, programmable controls, and wattage options that cover everything from light cafe use to high-volume restaurant lines.

For kitchens looking for an entry-level Amana unit with simple operation, the Amana RCS10DSE 1000W Microwave with Dial Control at $487 offers straightforward dial-based controls and 1.2 cubic feet of capacity, making it easy for any kitchen staff member to operate quickly without any learning curve. For the same 1000W output with push-button digital controls and stackable design, the Amana RCS10TS 1000W Stackable Microwave at $626 gives you a cleaner, more modern interface and the flexibility to stack two units when counter space is tight and throughput demands are higher.

Stepping up in power, the Amana HDC1015 1000W Heavy Duty Compact Microwave at $1,127 delivers heavy-duty reliability in a compact footprint, designed for kitchens that run constant cycles throughout service and need a unit that can keep up without overheating or slowing down. For kitchens that need faster heating and shorter cycle times, the Amana RFS12TS 1200W Medium Duty Microwave at $1,268 and the Amana HDC12YA2 1200W Heavy Duty Compact Microwave at $1,562 both deliver 1200W of cooking power, with the HDC12YA2 built for heavier daily use in a more durable chassis.

At the top of the Amana lineup, the Amana HDC18Y2 1800W Heavy Duty Compact Microwave at $1,783 handles the most demanding reheating tasks at high speed, cutting cycle times significantly compared to 1000W units and keeping up with fast-paced service lines. For maximum power in an Amana unit, the Amana RFS21TS 2100W Microwave at $1,434 delivers the fastest heating in the collection with push-button controls and 1.2 cubic feet of capacity, making it a strong choice for high-volume operations where speed and consistency across dozens of daily cycles are non-negotiable.

Winco Spectrum Commercial Microwaves: Touchscreen Controls with Stackable Design

Winco's Spectrum series brings a modern touchscreen interface to commercial microwaves, making them easy to program, clean, and operate in a busy kitchen environment. Both Spectrum models feature a 1.2 cubic foot interior and a stackable design that lets you run two units side by side on the same counter footprint, effectively doubling your throughput without taking up extra space. The Winco Spectrum EMW-1800AT 1800W Stackable Microwave at $1,088 is the mid-range option, delivering fast 1800W heating with touch controls in a unit designed to run back to back cycles through a full service. For the highest wattage option in the Winco lineup, the Winco Spectrum EMW-2100BT 2100W Stackable Microwave at $1,177 pushes output to 2100W for maximum heating speed, making it one of the most powerful units in our entire microwave collection. The stackable design on both Spectrum models makes them particularly popular for restaurants that want to build a dedicated, high-output reheating station without committing to a large footprint.

Choosing the Right Commercial Microwave for Your Kitchen

The right unit depends on how frequently your microwave gets used and how quickly you need results. A 1000W unit like the Waring WMO90 or Amana RCS10TS works well for cafes and light-use stations. A 1200W to 1800W unit like the Amana RFS12TS, Amana HDC18Y2, or Winco EMW-1800AT is the sweet spot for most full-service restaurant kitchens. For the highest-volume operations where speed is critical and the microwave runs nonstop through dinner service, the Amana RFS21TS 2100W or Winco Spectrum 2100W are the strongest options in our lineup.
