Microwave
$113.79🍳 Kitchen & Food Essentials
Reheating dining hall leftovers, making popcorn for movie night, heating up soup when you're sick, quick oatmeal in the morning — a microwave handles all of it. You only need one per room, so coordinate with your roommate. A small 700-watt model is usually enough. Check your school's policy on wattage limits before buying.

Reheating dining hall leftovers, making popcorn for movie night, heating up soup when you're sick, quick oatmeal in the morning — a microwave handles all of it.

What to Look For
- Check your dorm rules — some schools restrict appliances like hot plates and toasters
- Compact size that fits on a shelf or mini fridge top
- Easy to clean — you probably will not have a dishwasher
- BPA-free and food-safe materials
Pro Tip: Coordinate kitchen appliances with your roommate. One person brings the mini fridge, the other brings the microwave. No one needs two of either.
