Best Microwave Ovens in Canada (2026)

For most Canadian households, the Toshiba TMC16S4ABS/CA at $289.99 is the microwave to buy. It's the most powerful unit here at 1250W, it's one of only two with a true inverter, and its smart humidity sensor plus a 1.6 cu ft cavity with a 13.6-inch turntable handle everything from a single plate of leftovers to a family casserole. Just be ready for a keypad you can't read in the dark.

If your priority is fitting oversized cookware, the Panasonic NNST75LWC ($309.97) has the field's biggest 15.67-inch turntable behind 1200W of Cyclonic Inverter power and 15 Genius auto programs. It's the most expensive pick and carries the weakest reliability record in this roundup, so buy it for the cooking hardware and budget for an extended warranty. For a roomy mid-size alternative at $199.99, the Panasonic NNSG676BC delivers the same Genius Sensor cooking - if the always-on door lock doesn't put you off.

On a tighter budget, the Toshiba ML-EM31P ($179.99) is the smart middle: Canada's #3 best-selling microwave, with sensor reheating, a stainless interior and the mute button reviewers rave about. And if you simply want the lowest price that still works, the Chefman 0.7 cu ft at $99.99 is the only unit here under $100 and still includes mute, memory and eco mode - accept 700W speeds and a bit of noise.
