What's the advantage in a commercial microwave?

You ever see the one Subway has?

No, they are not cooking or heating large amounts but the microwaves they have get a lot of use. There are approximately 50 teachers and from 10:30 to 12:30 Monday through Friday someone is using the microwave. I was thinking light duty commercial might be the way to go because I read where they are designed to handle a higher volume of usage. Light duty commercial is not that much more expensive than a domestic. Downside is commercial doesn’t have a turntable. I was thinking that light duty commercial might last longer.

That's a lot of folks in a short period of time, even if you have a light duty commercial oven. Maybe the suggestion of having two ovens if space and budget allows would also help with multiple users at one time and the number of folks using the same oven daily.

If using a commercial oven, I would suggest making sure they all know that these are stronger and cook faster. My Mom's oven is more powerful than mine and my sister's and we've both obliterated some things in it since she got it because cook time is so much shorter than with our ovens. It took time for us to get used to it and we still burn popcorn from time to time. That's darn stinky.
