The Avanti AVAMO1108SST packs a 1.1 cu ft interior and 1,000W output into an unusually narrow 11.58-inch-wide footprint, making it a distinctive option for very tight counter spaces. At $381, its value hinges entirely on that space-saving characteristic, since buyer review data is absent.
Kitchens where counter width is the primary constraint and a standard-width microwave simply will not fit. The 11.58-inch exterior width is exceptionally narrow for a 1.1 cu ft unit.
Skip if
Anyone who wants buyer validation before purchasing should wait - there are zero reviews for this model. At $381, that is a significant purchase without feedback to reference. Also skip if you need more than basic on/off control (only 1 power level listed).

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other kitchen ranges, cooktops, wall ovens, range hoods and microwaves we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The AVAMO1108SST's most notable specification is its 11.58-inch exterior width, which is considerably narrower than the typical 17-21 inches found on comparable models. If counter width is genuinely constrained, this could solve a problem no other microwave addresses.
At 1,000W, it has adequate heating power for reheating and light cooking. The touchscreen controls and stainless steel finish give it a cleaner look relative to its price point. The 1.1 cu ft interior is a useful mid-size - larger than compact 0.7 cu ft units but without the countertop footprint of a typical 1.1-1.4 cu ft model.
However, the spec listing shows only 1 power level, which is an unusual limitation if accurate. Combined with zero reviews and a weight of 36 lb that seems high for the exterior dimensions, there are open questions worth resolving before purchasing at $381.
Pros
11.58-inch exterior width is exceptionally narrow for a 1.1 cu ft unit
1,000W output handles standard reheating and cooking tasks
Touchscreen controls on a compact form factor
Stainless steel finish suits most kitchen aesthetics
1.1 cu ft cavity is practical for individual to small household use
Cons
Zero buyer reviews - no real-world feedback available
Only 1 power level listed, which limits control flexibility if accurate
36 lb weight seems heavy relative to the compact exterior dimensions
$381 is hard to justify without any buyer ratings to assess reliability

Performance notes
The 1,000W output is standard for this cavity size. The spec listing of 1 power level is worth scrutinizing - most 1,000W touchscreen units offer at least 5-10 levels, and a single level would mean all-or-nothing heating. The 11.58-inch width is the key differentiator: if your counter opening is under 12 inches, this may be one of the only options that fits. Exterior dimensions are 10.93 x 11.58 x 7.58 inches.
What buyers say
There are no buyer reviews or ratings available for this model. Without that data, it is not possible to characterize buyer sentiment. Shoppers considering this unit should factor in the absence of buyer validation at a $381 price point and determine whether the narrow form factor alone justifies the purchase.
The exterior width of 11.58 inches is a defining design choice of this model, making it one of the narrowest countertop microwaves available with a 1.1 cu ft interior. It is designed for spaces where a standard 17-21 inch wide microwave simply will not fit.
Does this microwave have multiple power levels?
The specification data lists only 1 power level for this model. If that is accurate, it would mean the microwave operates at full power only, without defrost or lower-heat settings. This is worth confirming before purchasing, as single-power-level operation is unusual at this price.
Are there any buyer reviews for this model?
No buyer reviews are currently available. At a price of $381, the absence of any review data is a meaningful gap. If buyer feedback is important in your purchase decision, this model has none to reference.
