Domestic vs Commercial – Does your current microwave oven measure up?

Do I need a domestic or commercial microwave oven?

The following is a simple guide to understanding the key differences and benefits of commercial microwave ovens.

Maximum Usage

Domestic microwave ovens have been designed for the home cook in mind, with recommended usage of 3-5 times per day. Commercial microwave ovens are built to withstand the long and arduous hours of the commercial kitchen. Menumaster has a wide range of commercial microwave ovens available and can be used 200+ times per day.


No Turntables

Commercial microwave ovens differ from domestic microwave ovens as they use a stirrer system to evenly distribute the microwave energy throughout the cavity. Rather than move the food around with a turntable, the energy is distributed throughout the whole cavity, which results in a more even and faster cooking process.


Easy to Clean

In order to meet the highest food & safety standards, your microwave oven will need to be regularly cleaned. Menumaster commercial microwave ovens feature a stainless steel interior and exterior which resists breaking down and enables you to clean much easier and faster.


Simplified Controls

Domestic microwave ovens feature small buttons and need to be programmed prior to use. Cooking with a Menumaster commercial microwave oven is as simple as a touch of a button. Featuring a sleek and streamline control panel, the large buttons and icons make the unit easy to read and operate.


Warranty & Servicing

Domestic microwave ovens come with a limited warranty and may not be covered by insurance and comply with safety standards. Menumaster commercial microwaves are fully compliant and offer a 12 months parts and labour warranty plus additional 2 years parts warranty on PCB and Magnetrons.


The Final Knockout

Comcater comes to you. If your Menumaster microwave requires service or repair throughout the warranty period, a Comcater technician will personally visit your site, providing assessment and service where possible. No longer do you need to worry about the costly return of units for repair. Service applies to businesses within 50km of an authorised service partner.
