Our review
A microwave splatter cover is one of those products where spending $6 saves you hours of cleaning over its lifetime. This WVM version collapses to just 0.72 inches flat, then pops up to 3.26 inches to cover plates and bowls during microwaving. Vented lid lets steam escape while keeping sauce splatters contained.
It doubles as a colander — the perforated surface lets water drain through for rinsing fruit, vegetables, and pasta. Food-grade silicone and plastic construction is dishwasher safe and heat-resistant. A hook hole lets you hang it on a cabinet hook when not in use. 6,000+ bought per month.
Reviewers praise how well it prevents splatters and how easy it is to clean — just rinse under water. The top handle makes it easy to remove without burning fingers on hot steam. Multiple reviewers say it works better than rigid covers because the collapsible design stores flat in a drawer.
The downsides: it stains from tomato sauce and similar foods. One reviewer reports warping in the dishwasher despite being labelled dishwasher safe. 5% one-star. The collapsible mechanism can be fiddly for some. And the 11-inch size may be too small for very large plates. But at under $6 for a cover that keeps your microwave clean indefinitely, this is the definition of a no-brainer kitchen buy.
