Featured Microwaves

We review lots of microwaves at MicrowaveReview.co.uk, and some really stand out from the crowd. Listed below are our top microwaves – we recommend looking at these first (although that doesn't mean microwaves that don't make this list are necessarily bad).

When deciding upon whether a microwave makes this featured list, we take into account the price, buyers opinions and the specification. Grill, combi and solo microwaves are listed in this category.

How We Decide On Featured Microwaves

To become a featured microwave, a model has to provide excellent performance compared to alternatives in its price range. Featured microwaves aren't necessarily the “best,” but instead are the ones that we believe are the strongest in their particular category.

We also sometimes feature microwaves that bring something different to the market, such as a unique design or interesting programmes. If you own a microwave that you believe should be featured, let us know using the contact form.

There are a large number of different factors that you need to consider when buying a microwave. You need to consider your requirements in these categories, amongst others, even when looking at featured microwaves. The best microwave for you depends on your personal situation, so just because a microwave is featured doesn't mean it's the perfect choice.

Here's a brief overview of features you should consider:

• Power – this affects how quickly food is cooked and is one of the most important considerations.
• Size – This is self explanatory, but something that many people overlook. Larger microwaves often cost more, but are sometimes required when cooking for big families or using the microwave as a replacement oven.
• Automatic programs – Many microwaves come with auto defrost and cooking functions based on the weight of the food.
• Preset programmes – These are often useful for cooking popular foods.
• Safety features – A child lock is important for family microwaves.
