Every cab kitchen promises the world on the box. Most of them don't survive contact with a real cab, a real winter, or a real week on the road. So we score them the same way, every time — cooling against cooling, build against build, value against value — and publish the number.
The BLACK+DECKER EM720CB7 700W Microwave lands at 14/20 in our comparison. Here's where it wins, where it loses, and who should actually buy it.
The number is the point. Everything else is the receipt.
