Commercial microwaves delivering durable, high-speed American-made cooking solutions.

Amana

Amana Commercial has established itself as a foundational name in the American foodservice industry, originating from the Amana Refrigeration company founded in 1934. In 1967, the brand revolutionized the culinary world by introducing the Radarange, the first compact microwave for home and commercial use. Today, as a key brand under the ACP, Inc. umbrella and a division of the Ali Group, Amana specializes exclusively in high-performance commercial microwave ovens and high-speed cooking solutions manufactured in the United States.

The brand is internationally recognized for its leadership in microwave technology, offering a tiered range of power levels designed to meet the specific throughput requirements of diverse culinary environments. From light-duty units for breakrooms to heavy-duty, 3500-watt steamers for high-volume kitchens, Amana equipment is engineered for mechanical durability and consistent thermal performance. These units feature stainless steel construction and intuitive, programmable interfaces that allow for standardized results across multiple locations, ensuring that even entry-level staff can execute complex heating protocols with precision.

In addition to traditional microwaves, Amana has pioneered the development of high-speed "accelerated cooking" ovens, such as the ACE and Xpress lines. These systems combine microwave energy with radiant heat or convection technology to cook up to fifteen times faster than conventional methods. This specialized category is essential for quick-service restaurants and cafes that require rapid service without sacrificing food texture or quality. By utilizing ventless operation capabilities, these ovens provide operators with the flexibility to install high-capacity cooking stations in non-traditional spaces without the need for expensive hood systems.

The strategic value of Amana lies in its commitment to "made in America" quality and its robust after-sales support infrastructure. Based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the company maintains a dedicated 24/7 technical support network and a comprehensive inventory of replacement parts to minimize operational downtime. This focus on reliability, combined with a history of engineering firsts, makes Amana a primary choice for businesses seeking efficient, energy-saving cooking solutions that offer a high return on investment in fast-paced commercial environments.
