Microwaves

The first question is how you will use it: a solo microwave reheats and defrosts, a grill model browns gratins, and a combination model with a fan oven can stand in for a small oven. A flatbed interior is easier to clean than a turntable and takes wider dishes. A built-in model comes with its own dimensions to respect. The many automatic programmes get used less than you might expect.

What we rate in this category

Every product in the category is rated from 0 to 100 on these criteria : the same for all of them, whichever merchant sells it.

Read the full method
Capacity
This criterion measures the usable interior volume for cooking or reheating: the longer the bar, the more room for large dishes or bigger portions.
Power
Measures the cooking power delivered by the microwave: the longer the bar, the faster dishes heat or cook.
Consumption
Measures the electrical load drawn by the appliance in use: the longer the bar, the less power it draws.
Price
This criterion compares the microwave’s price to the market: the longer the bar, the better the deal.
Power levels
This criterion measures the number of available power settings: the longer the bar, the easier it is to tailor cooking to each dish.

Price brackets by tier

Orders of magnitude, not displayed prices: a price only appears on Kalyneo once it has been collected from a merchant, with its collection date.

Under €400

Basic function with a turntable, limited capacity and modest power: fine for reheating and defrosting, nothing more.

€400 to €700

The grill function appears, capacity and power step up, often paired with a flat base that's easier to clean.

Over €700

Combined convection models that can replace a small oven, with large capacity and high power, at the cost of extra bulk.

The buying guide for this category Buying guide: how to choose a microwave A microwave is chosen first on its interior capacity, its cooking power and the number of power levels it offers. Power consumption then separates models with similar specs, while price is best compared across merchants for equivalent features. Read the guide
