HoverLid™ - The Floating Microwave Lid

Every microwave needs one of these! I love the magnetic feature to keep it up and out of the way. It’s affordable and very easy to clean.

I previously had a microwave cover without magnets, and it was quite inconvenient when I didn’t need the cover during cooking. I had to take it out and often forgot to put it back in, leading to unnecessary messes. This magnetic version solves that issue perfectly.

The instructions recommend removing the cover when not in use, but I found it works just fine even if left attached to the ceiling. The magnets are thoughtfully designed - they’re strong enough to hold the cover securely to the top of the microwave, but not so strong that it’s difficult to detach when needed.

This cover is large enough to fit over most plates and bowls, and the steam vents do a good job of preventing buildup. It’s also made from sturdy, BPA-free material, which feels safe and durable.

This is the best gadget you’ll ever get.

Customer Review

This is a nice cover with air pockets on top and spacers at the bottom. Fortunately, my microwave doesn't have an upper surface that magnets can stick to, but I knew that before ordering. Still, it's a good cover, even if I can’t use the magnetic mount.

Note that many other covers now offer a place to add water and supposedly provide a "steam" option, which this cover does not have.
So before ordering, check if your microwave has a magnet-compatible upper roof. If not, you won’t be able to use the unique magnetic feature of this cover.
In that case, it might be worth considering a steam cover instead if that feature is important to you.

It's a genius innovation. When cooking is done, you lift the lid to the roof of the microwave and magnets stick it to the roof. The magnets have caused no issues with the microwave running.

Our previous cover was glass, which was easy to clean, but I like the steam vents built into this one. The heat is retained but doesn't create a trap for pressure to suction onto plates or bowls.

It is recommended not to microwave with the cover stuck to the top of the microwave. I haven't tried, but I imagine it might create a hot spot that could damage the magnets since they aren't spinning. Sticking the cover to the room makes it easy to use since it takes away that extra step of taking out the cover or dangerously taking it with you.
