Source: appliances.techreviewer.com (verified 2026-07-08) · corroborated by consumerreports.org. Both fetched pages cover the exact CHM990B model (not a sibling such as the CHCM11100W that Consumer Reports lists separately). appliances.techreviewer.com's CHM990B spec table states verbatim: Microwave Type countertop, Wattage 900 watts, Capacity 0.9 cubic ft., Width 19 in., Depth 14.38 in., Height 11 in., Turntable Diameter 11 in., Power Levels 10, Convection NO, Sensor Cooking NO, Defrost Function YES, Cooking Modes YES, Child Safety Lock YES, Venting NO.

Consumer Reports also lists a price for the exact model verbatim ('Commercial Chef CHM990B from $99.31'), used for priceUsd. Inverter status and a discrete preset/menu count are stated on no fetched page (null; the '6 preset' figure appeared only in a search summary, not a fetched page), and no fetched page gives a release year (releaseDate null). The official Commercial Chef support page (commercialchef.zendesk.com) and major retailers (Home Depot, Lowe's, Best Buy, Amazon) returned HTTP 403/429 or aborted, so no retailer price was fetched directly.
