Editor's Notes
July 15, 2020:
Other than their average size and price, there isn't too big of a difference between microwave carts and similar options such as kitchen island carts . Like any normal microwave stand, all mobile versions need to have a large enough tier to securely hold an actual microwave. With so many compact microwaves available, this isn’t difficult to accomplish.
While microwave carts aren’t particularly dangerous, we would advise you to avoid loading them in any way that would leave them top-heavy. If the model you choose is light, has a narrow base, or is on the tall side like the Origami Island on Wheels or Whitmor Supreme, you should be sure to pay extra attention to how much weight you place on top of it in proportion to how much weight is carried below. If a cart’s load isn’t properly distributed, it risks tipping over and spilling its contents, which could result in the destruction of property, or worse, bodily injury. Of course, as ever, we urge you to always follow manufacturers’ guidelines where weight restrictions are concerned.
Elsewhere, one small thing to note about the Cosco Outdoor Living Folding is that each of its shelves has a small lip which might block your microwave door from opening if its bottom edge is low. Having owned two of these carts myself, I can vouch that they're still worthy of the list despite this potential setback, especially considering they require zero assembly, look great, and are easy to store.
A final word to the wise: If you are getting a cart specifically for a microwave as the name of this category implies, be sure to get the exact measurements of both the appliance and the cart’s landings correct before buying. These things are heavy, and therefore difficult to return if you find yourself unhappy with your purchase, so you will definitely want to get it right the first time. As they say, measure twice and cut once.
