Amana Microwave Ovens
Quality Microwaves You Can Trust

It was Amana Refrigeration, a subsidiary of Raytheon Manufacturing Company that pioneered the first microwave oven in 1947. It has been over 50 years when this invention was first introduced to the world, yet Amana still continues to produce their technological breakthrough that has changed the art of cooking forever.

Today, microwave ovens have gone a long way since the first Amana Radarange was introduced. To give you an idea of the indispensability of this cooking appliance, more than 90% of households in America include a microwave. It is a technology that has made life easier, and will continue to make life more convenient with innovations in microwave oven technology.

More about Amana and the History of Microwave Ovens

The first ever microwave oven invented by Amana doesn't look so much like what they do today. The first microwave was almost 6 feet in height, weighed more than 750 pounds, and cost more than $5,000.

The history of the microwave oven we know today actually started in 1967, when the first Amana Radarange countertop model, costing a few hundred dollars, was introduced. In just a matter of years, sales of microwaves shot up that by 1975, sales of this breakthrough technology exceeded that of the gas range. Since then, the microwave has become a staple item in the kitchen and no longer a luxury.
