Product Description
The Buffalo 1800W programmable microwave is a countertop commercial unit built for kitchens where speed and consistency matter but counter space is limited. At 17 litres, it sits at the practical end of the commercial microwave range — capable enough to handle regular reheating and defrosting tasks throughout a service, without the footprint of a full-size commercial unit.
In day-to-day service, the programmable memory functions are where this unit earns its keep. Operators can store frequently used settings, which takes the guesswork out of repetitive tasks during a busy pass and helps maintain consistent results across different members of staff. The x2 and +20-second quick controls are straightforward additions that genuinely reduce handling time when things are moving quickly.
- Programmable settings allow consistent results across shifts and staff
- Quick-access controls reduce handling time during peak service
- Compact footprint suits kitchens where counter space is at a premium
- Runs from a standard 13A socket — no dedicated electrical supply required
- Simple interface that all kitchen staff can operate without training
Installation is uncomplicated. The unit connects to a standard 13A socket, so no electrical work or dedicated circuit is needed before you can put it into service. It weighs 31.5kg, so it should be positioned on a solid, stable surface at a practical working height. Ventilation clearance around the unit is worth factoring in. It is also worth being clear about what this unit is not designed for — if your kitchen runs very high covers or relies on near-continuous microwave use throughout service, a higher-wattage model with greater capacity would be a more appropriate choice.
This microwave is well suited to cafés, pub kitchens, small hotels, staff canteens, and similar operations where a reliable countertop unit supports the menu rather than drives it. It also works well as a secondary unit in larger kitchens where space on the pass is tight.
If you would like to talk through whether this unit is the right fit for your service volume or setup, the team is happy to help before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- This unit is well suited to moderate, regular use — reheating, defrosting, and finishing dishes across a normal service. If your kitchen relies on near-continuous microwave use or runs very high cover numbers, a higher-wattage model with a larger cavity would be a better match for that demand.
- No — the unit runs from a standard 13A socket, so it can go into service without any dedicated wiring or electrical work. Just ensure the surface it sits on is solid and stable, and allow adequate ventilation clearance around the unit.
- They are particularly practical in kitchens where the same tasks are repeated across a service — storing your standard reheating settings removes guesswork and helps ensure consistent results even when different staff are using the unit. For operations with a varied, unpredictable menu, the manual controls work just as well alongside the presets.
