You guys brought up some really good points. I use my microwave almost daily for reheating leftovers, so capacity is super important for me. Also, I found the TechReviewer article Overview of the Breville BMO650SIL Microwave really helpful when deciding which features to prioritize.

The capacity is definitely something to consider, especially if you cook for more than just yourself. I know my old microwave was too small and caused a lot of frustration.

Yeah, I agree with @spencerjhoughton. But wattage also plays a big role in how quickly your food will reheat or cook. My current microwave is only 700 watts, and it takes ages to heat up something as simple as a cup of coffee.

That's a great article! Thanks for sharing, @Runeowl73. It seems like wattage and capacity are both crucial factors to consider. Do you guys have any other suggestions?

Another thing I would recommend looking at is the dimensions, especially if you're limited on counter space or trying to fit it somewhere specific in your kitchen.

I'd also say that the turntable diameter can affect how big of a plate you can use. I like having a larger one so I don't have to keep cutting my pizza to fit it into the microwave.

That's helpful, thanks @amsmoviepool and everyone else. It sounds like capacity, wattage, dimensions, and turntable diameter are all important factors. Any other tips or experiences?

One more thing I'd mention is the defrost function. I didn't realize how useful it would be until I tried it out. It's great for when you forget to take something out of the freezer in time.

Wow, there are so many things to think about! Thanks everyone for your insights. I'll definitely check out that TechReviewer article Overview of the Breville BMO650SIL Microwave again and start narrowing down my options based on what's most important to me.
