Buying Guide
What to look for in an Microwave
Capacity
Choose a microwave size that suits how many people you usually cook for. A 20L microwave may suit individuals, couples or smaller kitchens, while larger models can be better for bigger plates and family use.
Ease Of Use
Look for controls that match how you like to cook. Manual dials can be simple and quick, while digital controls may suit buyers who want presets, timers and more precise settings.
Cleaning
Check whether the microwave has an easy-clean interior and a removable turntable. A simple interior, smooth surfaces and fewer awkward corners can make everyday wipe-downs easier.
Power range
Microwaves usually use power levels rather than a true temperature range. Higher wattage, such as 800W, can help with faster heating, while multiple power levels give you more control.
Features
Think about which features you will actually use. Defrost settings, auto-cook menus, child locks and digital timers can be useful, but basic models may still suit simple reheating.
Value For Money
Good value is not just about the lowest price. Look at the capacity, wattage, controls, features and brand support to decide whether a microwave feels worth the money.
