If you're looking for which ones to buy, then here's a list of the best microwaves, some tried and tested, and some recommended.
Home Basics: 8 Best Microwaves To Make Your Life Easier
Faber Built-In Microwave
₹49990
I have been using this built-in microwave for about seven years now, and it has not once broken down. It's got all the functions you require from a microwave —25 litres of capacity, energy efficient, 10 auto cook presets (defrost, grill, convection) — and also comes with a one-year comprehensive warranty.
Samsung Microwave Oven
₹11600
Another one tried and tested by the LBB crew, this one from Samsung features quick functions like browning plus (helps achieve the ideal texture and colour for your food. It basically increases the cooking time by 30 seconds to brown and crisp food with the grill heater), deodorisation (forces air out of the interior cavity so that any lingering odours are quickly dissipated), quick defrost, and keep warm function that comes in handy when you're preparing lots of dishes so that you can keep your food warm without overcooking). It has a good capacity of 23 litres and has not let us down for the past 8 years.
IFB Convection Microwave Oven
₹19390
If you have a big family, you need appliances that will make sense for a large number of people, and the 30-litre capacity of this microwave will definitely be of help. IFB provides one year on the microwave oven and three years on the magnetron and cavity. You'll get all the functions like defrost, rotisserie, grill mode, auto reheat, delay start, keep warm and cleaning functions like steam clean, disinfect and deodorise. It also features a child safety lock that ensures complete safety.
Panasonic 23L Convection Microwave Oven
₹14990
We love Panasonic products, from their hair straighteners to home appliances like their steam irons (SO GOOD!) or even their microwaves. You're always ensured top-notch quality, functionality, and of course, longevity. The capacity is 23 litres, enough for a family of three to four people. You get functions like defrost, grill, vapour clean to keep odour and stain-free.
LG Charcoal Convection Microwave Oven (MJ2887BFUM)]
₹23999
LG does a great job when it comes to home appliances. This convection microwave oven is great for baking, grilling, reheating, defrostoing and cooking! It's 28 liters, which means it's suitable for four to six members. We love that it comes with one year warranty on the product, and additional four years on Magnetron, as well as a 10 year warranty applicable only on the charcoal heater. The child lock feature also makes it pretty safe to use with kids in the house.
Bajaj 1701 MT Solo Microwave
₹6500
If you're looking for a budget option, then the Bajaj 1701 is a good microwave option for you. It's got a simple design with all the necessary features like cooking, re-heating, defrosting, and a capacity of 17 litres. Plus the compact size helps you save space.
Haier Convection Microwave
₹16500
If you're looking for a microwave that gets the job done sans the frills and complications, then get the Haier convection microwave. It features 11 multipower levels, grill option, combination cooking and deodorizer as well.
