The Daewoo KOR1NOA is a large, powerful microwave from one of the world’s best kitchen appliance manufacturers. It comes with a range of features, including 10 microwave power levels, an auto cook function and one touch menus. The Daewoo KOR1NOA 31L microwave is a solo model, which means it doesn’t come with a grill or conventional oven.
Daewoo KOR1NOA Features
The first thing that strikes you about the Daewoo KOR1NOA is its large capacity. Most microwaves stay around the 27L mark, which makes the KOR1NOA significantly larger. In fact, the only bigger microwave that we’ve reviewed is the Sharp R959SLMA 40L.
Aside from its size, the microwave has a fairly standard design. It’s a white microwave with an angular front panel, digital display and single knob. We can’t say it’s the most attractive microwave in the world, but it certainly isn’t the ugliest either.
The microwave is a 1000W model, meaning that it’ll cook faster than many other microwaves. It also has ten different power levels, one touch menus for easy operation and an auto defrost mode.
For cooking, the Daewoo KOR1NOA uses a “concave reflector” system. This helps to evenly distribute microwave energy around the cavity. Dual wave emitters are also used for an even cook every time.

Daewoo KOR1NOA Reviews
The Daewoo KOR1NOA has received mixed reviews from buyers. It seems buyers either love or hate this machine, so let’s find out why.
There are a number of reviewers that are happy with their purchase. Positive comments include that the microwave is simple to use and has a large capacity. The Daewoo KOR1NOA family sized microwave is a hit for people that regularly need to cook or reheat large amounts of food.
Other positive comments include that the microwave isn’t too heavy, making it easy to move around, and that it looks professional. Many microwaves have moved away from traditional white designs, so some reviewers mentioned that they were relieved to find a large white microwave.
One potential problem is that the microwave is noisy according to several reviewers. Whether this is a fault specific to a few machines or a widespread design problem is unclear. If a noisy microwave is a problem for you, however, then you may be better off looking at other family sized microwaves.
Worryingly, there are several complaints that the microwave isn’t as large as advertised. One reviewer even disputes that there is actually a 31L capacity.
Daewoo KOR1NOA Conclusion
We think that the Daewoo KOR1NOA family sized 31L microwave (white) is definitely an option to consider if you need a large model but don’t want to go for a 40L machine. It seems that the microwave has its problems, the main one being the noisy operation, but its large capacity and powerful cooking system make up for this.
