The best microwave ovens of 2020

If you have a budget to buy an inexpensive microwave oven or do not consider it necessary to overpay for this type of household appliances, it is important to understand the key tasks that can be performed by microwaves in the price range up to 5000 rubles. The fact is that many manufacturers (especially little-known ones) are trying to equip their products with many different programs to the detriment of the quality of parts. This makes their products more competitive, cheaper, but less reliable. For this reason, it is more advisable to pay attention to the quality of the internal coating, the reliability of the platform and power. To a lesser extent on the number of programs and functions. Obviously, a model with the function of a deodorizer or steam self-cleaning can not be so cheap.

The Horizont 20MW800-1378 model opens the top microwaves, which attracts with a long service life, practical design and optimal characteristics. The power of the device is 800 watts with a volume of 20 liters. Despite the loyal price, this microwave oven supports heating, defrosting and even cooking simple dishes. Another plus is the compact size. At the same time, the coating of the microwave oven is represented by enamel, which is typical for this class of technology. A total of 5 power modes are implemented. Based on user reviews, this is a great solution for its price for a family of 2-3 people.

In search of an inexpensive but good microwave, many users managed to opt for the BBK 20MWS-722T / B-M. This model even in its appearance differs from budget counterparts. Attracts with a mirrored front panel and an extensive feature set. A radiation power of 700 watts is enough to defrost, heat and cook various dishes. The maximum mode provides for operation for 95 minutes.At the same time, the Automenu function deserves special attention, guaranteeing the quick preparation of meat products, as well as side dishes. For quick heating, the “Quick start” option is suitable. If necessary, you can use the function of deferred cooking, which allows you to pre-set the start-up time and parameters for the microwave oven.

Another stationary microwave that attracts with its good features and excellent manufacturer reputation. There is no doubt in the reliability of the microwave oven. The internal surface of the device is equipped with an antibacterial coating called Easy Clean. The coating is not afraid of minor mechanical damage. In addition, it is easily cleaned of impurities, including fat. The radiation power is 700 watts. At the same time, the I-Wave technology is responsible for the uniform distribution of heat. A total of 32 automatic programs are implemented. Among the advantages are touch control, as well as the presence of an electronic timer. It's comfortable.

The best low-cost microwave in 2020 is the BBK 23MWS-826T / B-M, which attracts with its premium design and good parameters for its segment. This microwave oven holds 23 liters and has a power adjustment with a timer. In addition, there are several automatic programs for cooking by weight. Such options, as a rule, offer flagship models. Thanks to electronic control, the user's work is minimized. Simply control the process and press the buttons. For families with children, the “Parental Control” function, which can protect babies from interacting with the device, will probably be useful.

The main advantage of such models is the ability to install in the kitchen. In this case, space savings are achieved. With regard to technical features, such models are no different from microwave solos. It is more important to consider the following: inside each microwave is a magnetron that emits malignant waves for the operation of other equipment. This structural element is located on the side where the controls are. Accordingly, the side where the magnetron is located should not be near other electrical appliances. Ideally, the waves should be directed towards the wall or furniture.

The model Samsung FG77SUT replenishes the rating of microwave ovens, attracting by the presence of a durable bioceramic coating. Already by this sign, you can understand that the device is cleaned without any problems. Moreover, the surface is quite difficult to scratch. You can remove food debris without harsh abrasives. The power of this unit is 1300 watts, which is more than enough for a 20 liter camera. Special attention should be paid to the technology of quick and uniform defrosting of food. In addition, the odor removal mode is implemented. There are built-in programs. Another nice bonus is a bright design that fits perfectly into the interior design of any room.

This model fits into a niche measuring 38 centimeters. Provides thawing, heating and cooking. There are 5 power adjustment modes from 90 to 800 watts. The volume of the internal space is 20 liters. The advantages of this device include flush switches, and the ability to control TouchControl. Simplicity in operation is also guaranteed by the LED-screen, which allows without any problems to monitor the control of defrosting, heating dishes, heating and cooking. There is a timer.Doors are implemented conveniently, easy to open by pressing a single button. Implemented AutoPilot 7, allowing you to use one of seven pre-installed programs.

Another decent model of an electronically controlled built-in microwave oven. The power of this unit is 900 watts, which is more than enough for a volume of 25 liters. The inner coating is made of stainless steel. It is not worth doubting the durability and ease of use of the model. At the same time, the microwave oven has small dimensions - 59.5 by 38.8 by 37.7 centimeters. Based on the comments of independent buyers, there are enough modes for the comfortable implementation of any needs in the domestic environment. There is a timer for 95 minutes. Among the useful modes include grill, microwaves, automatic heating and defrosting of products. The downside is that the length of the network cable is only 1 meter.

The best built-in microwave of 2020 - Bosch BFL554MS0, designed for installation in a niche of 38 centimeters. There is a function of defrosting, heating and a timer. Monitoring the process is extremely easy thanks to the convenient LED-screen. As with the predecessor, 7 automatic programs are installed. The maximum power of this model is 900 watts. The volume of the chamber is 25 liters. Among the advantages it is necessary to include a rotating ring, equipped with a backlight and a very simple touch control. Another bonus is the function of remembering the settings for cooking. The size of the glass tray is 31.5 centimeters. The door opens by pressing a button.

This segment presents more expensive and functional models. Given that there is also an electric grill inside the camera, the power should be higher than analogues. However, such microwave ovens are of two types:

• with a TEN grill - the best option for cooking most dishes, due to the presence of a movable heating element that can be moved to cook food, for example, from the side;
• with a quartz grill - is located in the upper part of the microwave, and hides behind a special grill. As a rule, such models are less powerful, but more economical in terms of energy consumption.

Among all the variety of good microwaves with a grill, this model stands out with its stylish design and expensive components. The downside is that this brand has begun to enjoy popularity in Russia relatively recently. But so far there is no reason to doubt the quality of brand products. As for the model EM 2520, it has 1300 watts of power per quartz grill, which is enough to cook your favorite dishes. A total of 5 power levels are implemented for defrosting, cooking, heating and cooking, intensive heating and quick heating of liquids. Judging by the reviews, the grill is really effective: it allows you to cook meat with a crust. There are 8 special functions, including making porridge and fresh vegetables. The chamber is made of stainless steel and its volume is 25 liters.

This company can hardly be called a "dark horse", but not everyone knows about the brand. And especially about the powerful microwave with grill - MCG 25 Ceramic Chef. Already by the name you can understand that the device has a high-quality internal coating. Implemented 10 convection power modes with the ability to adjust the temperature from 110 to 200 degrees. There are 9 automatic programs, 4 combined modes and 2 modes for grilling.The model copes with heating, baking, defrosting and grilling different products without any problems. There is a timer with a beep that supports setting up to 95 minutes. The volume of the chamber is 25 liters.

For a large family, Samsung has a reliable microwave with grill - MC28H5013AW. With its help, you can cook more than 15 programmed dishes for a healthy diet. Convection mode deserves special attention. However, other types of dishes are easy to prepare. It is enough to set a suitable temperature and start the work of an advanced microwave oven. Another plus is the adjustment of the turntable. Quality coating prevents odors. It is worth saying that the South Korean brand equipped its device with a bioceramic coating that does not contain any epoxy materials. Thanks to ECO Mode technology, it is possible to significantly reduce power consumption. In terms of price / quality, this is one of the best devices, but the model appeared before most of the described analogues, although it does not lose relevance.

According to the editors, the best microwave with grill in 2020 is the Hotpoint-Ariston MWHA 338 IX model, equipped with a self-cleaning function. Comfortable operation is due to the possibility of choosing the type of food, after which it is enough to set the weight and press the start. There is FORCED AIR technology, which provides for the use of additional accessories, including trays and special pans. Another plus is the dual radiation technology. Among the advantages include the KEEP WARM function to keep food warm for 30 minutes or more. Another interesting mode is RISING for making sweet as well as salt dough. In addition, the manufacturer convinced the model with a low power consumption of 1200 watts.

A feature of models in this category is that they are additionally equipped with a ring heating element and a small fan. This ensures a uniform distribution of heat throughout the chamber. However, often even in 2020, manufacturers try to mislead the buyer, indicating in the description the presence of convection, which is still not enough for the volume of the chamber (especially if the microwave oven has a volume of more than 28 liters). With convection they buy in those cases when it is necessary to fry, bake or bake buns. If the model does not cope with the tasks, there is no need to overpay for convection. We have assembled truly effective microwaves that have an increased range of tasks, compared to classic counterparts.

If you have not decided which microwave oven to buy with a stylish design, we recommend paying attention to the Kaiser M 2500 RotEM. A retro-style model can decorate any kitchen. Bright microwave oven has convection, grill and an extensive set of functions. The chamber volume is 25 liters with a microwave power of 900 watts, a grill of 1000 watts and convection of 2300 watts. Characteristics indicate that users can cook any dishes without any problems. An extensive number of built-in programs have been implemented, including for controlling a ceramic grill. Due to powerful convection, users will be able to bake, fry and cook dishes directly in the microwave.

The volume of the camera of this model is 28 liters, and the microwave power is 900 watts.At the same time, a stylish and durable microwave oven with a grill attracts with a ceramic inner coating, an adequate price-quality ratio, as well as many useful functions. Of the modes I want to note quick defrosting, auto-cooking, auto-defrosting. The diameter of the pallet is 31.8 centimeters, which is enough to accommodate a vast amount of food. Despite this capacity, the device is quite small in size: 31 by 52 by 46 centimeters. You can even put in a small kitchen.

The height of this model is 38.8 centimeters, so it is difficult to attribute it to the number of top-end microwave ovens of a built-in type. Nevertheless, the unit deserves your attention if you have a sufficiently large kitchen. The model has a 25 liter chamber, a powerful grill and convection. The combination microwave is equipped with a convenient, durable door, simple controls and practical controls. It is worth noting the presence of thermally polished glass, a good lattice and many modes. There is no doubt about the reliability of the manufacturer for many years. In general, this is an excellent solution for installation in a headset without sacrificing camera volume, as well as performance.

The best microwave oven of 2020 is the Samsung MC35J8088LT with convection, grill and a large 35 liter camera. The device supports technology, thanks to which powerful air currents pass through a huge number of holes, and guarantee uniform heating of any food. Another advantage is the HotBlast ™ air grill. The inner coating is made of bioceramics, for which the manufacturer gives a guarantee of 10 years. A powerful double grill allows you to cook twice as fast compared to peers. At the same time, the South Korean brand paid due attention to oil consumption.

Having decided on the type of equipment, it is necessary to pay due attention to the following parameters:

1. Chamber volume - small-sized microwave ovens for 1-2 people include up to 20 liters, medium ones up to 27 liters and large ones up to 50 liters.
2. Power - must be selected depending on the volume of the camera. For the average model without convection and grill, the optimal indicator is 800-1000 watts. The more functions and cooking speed, the higher the productivity, as well as the energy consumption;
3. Inner coating - enamel is considered the most popular option due to its low cost and practicality. Stainless steel is more durable and wear-resistant, but not all cleaning agents can be used. The most expensive option is ceramics or bioceramics, possibly with an antibacterial coating.
4. Type of control - the most practical option is mechanical switches and buttons, but they are not always easy to wash. Touch controls are more convenient, but more expensive. Therefore, the greatest demand is for electronically controlled models.
5. The number of programs - optimally up to 6 modes, including accelerated defrosting, heating, maintaining the temperature, delayed start. The rest of the "buns", as sophisticated buyers like recipe programming in memory, are rarely used, and it makes no sense to overpay for them. But this is purely our opinion;
6. Functions - the most convenient are considered to be an audio signal, a timer, a lock, a temperature sensor and a delayed start. However, depending on the model, the number of additional options can reach 20 or more.

When thinking about how to choose a microwave, do not forget about the goals that you set for this "home assistant" and the cost of electricity. Today on sale you can find many models that can replace a bread machine, a double boiler and other appliances, but the cost will be higher by 30-40%.

Thus, we can draw the following conclusion: in order to buy a microwave oven that will meet expectations, you must first set key tasks for the equipment, determine the price, and then compare the models. It is unlikely that a model with convection, many programs and additional options like a deodorizer can cost as much as a simple classic model from a reliable manufacturer and have the same long life. To summarize:

• The best low-cost model - BBK 23MWS-826T / B-M;
• good built-in microwave - Bosch BFL554MS0;
• microwave with grill - Hotpoint-Ariston MWHA 338 IX;
• The best convection model is Samsung MC35J8088LT.
