College life is full of fun and activities. Studies, friends, movies, and the magic of youth. Though student life is all about fun and enjoyment, there are certain limitations all students face during their college years. And, if you live in a hostel or college dormitory, things sometimes get trickier. For instance, cooking your own food. No matter how tastier the college canteen serves you food and how much you enjoy eating out, at some point, you need to cook something on your own. Since cooking is a major stress buster, it often helps in dealing with the anxiety associated with project deadlines, pending assignment, or a typically bad day at school.
Since dormitories have common kitchen appliances used by several other people and you often don’t get easy access to the kitchen, cooking for yourself seems like a distant dream. But, the problem is not too grave to tackle. How about getting your own microwave oven that easily fits in your dorm room and you can use it as and when you require. That sounds perfect.

If you’re buying the microwave for your dorm room, the main things you should keep in mind are – size, wattage, price, durability, and versatility.
Figure out if you’re looking for a smaller microwave or a big one, if price matters or not, if you’re looking for high cooking power microwaves (1000 to 1200) that cook quickly as compared to low to medium cooking power units (600 to 800) that take little extra time.
As far as durability is concerned, it’s always better to go for branded items. Avoid zeroing in on a product that is newly launched in the market. Always go for tried and tested models that have several 4 stars and 5-star reviews on Amazon.
Make sure if you’re looking for a basic unit or a versatile multifunctional microwave that bakes broils, and grills also.
