Benchstar Stainless Steel Commercial Microwave Oven 34L - MD-1400

The Benchstar MD-1400 is a 34 L commercial microwave oven with 1400 W of cooking power, built for a professional food-service environment. The cavity takes a 14 inch (356 mm) platter, and both the cabinet and the oven cavity are stainless steel rather than painted or plastic-lined.

Why operators choose the MD-1400

• 34 L cavity taking a 14 inch (356 mm) platter — the platter figure is the practical one — it tells you what actually fits
• 1400 W of cooking power — output rated for continuous food-service use rather than intermittent duty
• Stainless steel cabinet AND cavity — a painted or plastic-lined cavity does not survive a commercial wash-down routine; stainless does
• Bottom energy feed — microwave energy enters from below, which suits flat-loaded plates and trays
• 34 L cavity — the larger of the pair — takes a 14 inch platter where the MD-1000L takes 12 inch
• Built for food-service duty — specified for repeated daily cycles rather than occasional home use
• Standard 10 A outlet — no dedicated circuit needed

Specifications

Venue suitability

Cafes, pubs, clubs, aged care, staff canteens and QSR sites reheating and regenerating to order. The reason to specify a commercial unit is duty cycle and construction — repeated daily cycles and a stainless cavity that survives a wash-down routine.

Installation & delivery

It is a self-contained plug-in unit — no plumbing and no hard-wiring — and runs from a standard 10 A outlet. Set it on a level bench able to carry the loaded weight and leave clearance around the unit for airflow. Leave the manufacturer's clearance around the vents; a microwave boxed into a tight recess will run hot and shorten its life. Dispatched from our Sydney HQ with partner warehouses in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth for faster delivery Australia-wide. Backed by a 24-month return-to-base warranty — the unit is returned for service rather than attended on site. See our warranty information page for full terms.
