Big Chill Microwaves

Big Chill Microwaves at Plesser's Appliances

Big Chill microwaves, available at Plesser's Appliances, are countertop units in the same colors and finishes as the brand's ranges and refrigerators — the piece that ties a Big Chill kitchen together at 1.1 cubic feet. Offered in both Retro and Classic styling, they sit on the counter rather than installing into cabinetry.

A Countertop Unit, Not a Built-In
This is the important distinction: the Big Chill microwave is designed to sit out on the counter as a visible part of the kitchen, not to be concealed in a cabinet or hung over a range. If your plan calls for a built-in or drawer microwave, this is not that product — but if the goal is a coordinated retro kitchen where the microwave is meant to be seen, that is exactly the point.

Retro and Classic Styling
Both styling directions are offered, so the microwave can be matched to a Retro or Classic range and refrigerator rather than breaking the run with a stainless box. In a kitchen built around a color, the microwave is often the piece that would otherwise ruin the effect. Confirm which colors and trims are available for the microwave specifically, since the program may differ from the larger appliances.

Compact Capacity
At 1.1 cubic feet, this is a compact microwave sized for reheating, defrosting, and everyday tasks rather than large casseroles. Check the interior dimensions against the dishes you actually use before ordering. For a household that leans heavily on the microwave, a Big Chill unit may work better as the secondary microwave in a pantry or bar area.

Coordinating the Full Kitchen
Big Chill also offers matching toasters and blenders, so the countertop can be coordinated end to end alongside the range, hood, and refrigerator. Trim and color should be specified consistently across all of it. This is the brand's real proposition — a whole kitchen in one palette rather than one statement piece.

Placement, Power, and Lead Time
Countertop use requires clearance around the unit for air circulation and a grounded outlet. Custom colors are built to order, so factor lead time in when the microwave is part of a larger Big Chill order. Talk to the team at Plesser's Appliances about available colors and trims, capacity, and current lead times.
