Our take
BLACK+DECKER EM031MGG-X1 is a 1.1-cu.-ft. countertop model with 1,000 W and a listed 13-inch turntable. Lowe's exact-model page identifies EM031MGG-X1 in its title and model field and supplies the feature and size details used here. The page is internally inconsistent about exterior color: its title and structured color field say stainless steel, while the overview text calls the finish black. Since the evidence does not reconcile that wording, I do not assign a definitive color to the product name. Historical ASIN B07KRLRJ9G has not been verified as a current exact-model listing, so the tagged Amazon destination searches by the full EM031MGG-X1 code.
A mid-size countertop model for buyers prioritizing a documented 13-in. turntable, defrost options, and six one-touch choices who can verify the finish on the exact unit..
Choose another product if you need verified color identity, a manufacturer manual, or a manufacturer-confirmed commercial-duty classification before shortlisting.
Pros & cons
What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.
What works in its favor
- The exact model listing states 1.1 cu. ft., 1,000 W, ten power levels, and a 13-in. turntable.
- Its listed controls include six one-touch options, time/weight defrost, express cook, clock/timer, and child lock.
- The structured product fields explicitly mark sensor cooking and compatible trim kit as No.
What to weigh up
- The same retailer page calls the finish black in prose and stainless steel in its title and structured color fields.
- No exact model manufacturer manual was available in the saved evidence to corroborate retailer dimensions and features.
- A retailer residential classification is present, but manufacturer foodservice classification remains unconfirmed.

What the features mean for you
Model-specific size and output
The Lowe's model field names EM031MGG-X1, while its exact page states 1.1 cubic feet and 1,000 W. Those values distinguish this model from the earlier BLACK+DECKER EM925AME-P1, which is a separate 0.9-cu.-ft., 900 W item. The page classifies the appliance as countertop and lists body width 20.2 inches, depth 16.1 inches, and height 12.1 inches. It also provides a 13-inch turntable figure. The structured page's capacity category says under 1.0 cu. ft. even though its numeric capacity is 1.1; I use the specific numeric value rather than that broad category label. These are retailer-listed measurements, so measure the offered unit if a tight fit or cookware clearance depends on a fraction of an inch.
Useful manual controls with six one-touch options
The exact product page lists ten power levels, six one-touch cook options, time/weight defrost, express cook, a digital clock, and child lock. Its overview also describes a kitchen timer and auto-menu function. These controls give a buyer practical differences to compare without claiming a cooking result. Lowe's marks the sensor-cooking control field No. That explicit exact-model specification supports sensorCooking=false for the profile; one-touch menus should not be treated as sensor cooking. The page does not provide a model-specific manufacturer manual in the reviewed materials, so the control details remain secondary evidence and should be checked against the actual appliance label and instructions if a particular key matters.
A listed turntable and no listed trim-kit path
The product record says that a turntable is present and gives its diameter as 13 inches. It also marks compatible trim kit available No and trim kit included No. The latter distinction matters: an included accessory and a separately compatible kit are different claims, and the listing does not document an optional built-in route. I use its exact compatibility field as evidence against a supported kit option for matching, not as a claim about every aftermarket frame. Treat this as a countertop choice and follow the instructions supplied with the exact unit; do not infer that the model can be safely enclosed because a different BLACK+DECKER model has another installation route.
Resolve the finish before ordering
The retailer page's visible product title includes '(Stainless Steel)', and the structured Appliance Color/Finish and Manufacturer Color/Finish fields also say Stainless Steel. Its overview sentence, however, says that the model has a modern black finish. The record does not say whether those words refer to the cabinet, door, or a data error. Because finish is not one of the six matcher attributes and the conflict is unresolved, the catalog name omits color rather than choosing either interpretation. Confirm the exact door and cabinet appearance from a current model-specific image or product label if color is important to a kitchen plan.
Duty classification and link identity
Lowe's structured field calls the model Residential. That is useful context, but the matcher describes manufacturer-classified commercial or foodservice microwaves. Since the reviewed evidence contains no manufacturer manual or explicit manufacturer duty label, commercialDuty stays null instead of converting a retailer category into a manufacturer claim. The historical Amazon ASIN B07KRLRJ9G also remains unverified as an exact current offer. Search by the model code and check that the result actually names EM031MGG-X1. This review reflects the exact retail specification record only; it does not use the page's customer reviews, current pricing, availability, sales rank, or personal testing.
What else to compare
For a documented smaller BLACK+DECKER, EM925AME-P1 is a separate 0.9-cu.-ft., 900 W model with an exact 10.6-in. turntable and P1 suffix. EM031MGG-X1 raises the listed capacity and output to 1.1 cu. ft. and 1,000 W and lists a 13-in. tray, but its finish description is unresolved. Compare the full model code, actual color, cavity and exterior fit, and the exact unit's manual before treating the two product families as substitutes.
Before you buy
What capacity, output, and turntable size are listed?
Lowe's exact-model record lists 1.1 cu. ft., 1,000 W, and a 13-inch turntable.
Does the listing identify sensor cooking?
Its structured Sensor Cooking Controls field is No, so the matcher records false.
Is a compatible trim kit available?
The exact page marks Compatible Trim Kit Available No and Trim Kit Included No.
Is the exterior black or stainless steel?
The listing conflicts: its title and structured color fields say stainless steel, while overview text says black. The catalog avoids assigning a definite finish.
Is it confirmed for commercial kitchens?
No manufacturer duty classification was established; the retailer's Residential field is not enough for a manufacturer-classified commercial match.

The decision
Consider EM031MGG-X1 if you want the listed 1.1-cu.-ft. capacity, 1,000 W output, six one-touch options, and 13-in. turntable. Lowe's marks sensor cooking and compatible trim-kit availability No. The page's black-versus-stainless finish conflict and lack of manufacturer documentation call for verification against the specific unit. The old ASIN is not verified; use the tagged exact-model search and confirm the full suffix.
