Nostalgia’s retro appliances are designed to make a visual statement. This microwave and toaster set leans into that mid-century aesthetic with its soft aqua finish and chrome accents. It’s for kitchens where you want your countertop gear to look good, not just function.

The 0.7 cubic foot, 700-watt microwave handles the basics well. Reheating a plate of leftovers or defrosting chicken for dinner is straightforward, aided by a simple turntable and five power levels. The 12 pre-programmed settings can speed up common tasks like popcorn or baked potatoes. The matching two-slice toaster is similarly uncomplicated, with wide slots for bagels and a removable crumb tray for easy cleanup.

This is a style-first set. The microwave’s interior is compact, so a standard dinner plate will fit but with little room to spare. The 700-watt power is adequate for reheating, but don’t expect the speed of a 1000+ watt model. You’re trading some raw performance and capacity for a cohesive, charming look.
