IFB service sucks in many parts of india including Hyderabad. YOu can go for LG. Using it for more than a year & half and still going good.

IFB is one of the oldest brand in this Microwave Oven. All other brands came into light later.

Over the last 7 years, I have used microwaves from two brands - IFB and LG. The IFB one was smaller, 23 liters I think, and the LG (using currently) is bigger - 30 liters. BOTH are excellent - and both work as advertised!

Everything is a hazard, you know that if you live in a tall building radio emissions and during flying in airplanes solar radiation can potentially cause cancer, a microwave is essential now a days, specially with the fact that gas supply has become a tedious process now.

IFB may be one of the oldest in India but not in world. Sharp was the first brand to ever mass produce microwave oven way back in 1966. They are the pioneers of microwave ovens.

Bought a Sharp R-898R this month at 11K. 26 litres, double grill, convection microwave oven. Just awesome performance. Wife is super happy!!!

SHARP may be good, but NO one buys them, so I'd suggest OP to buy a brand that sells well, for good service, like LG, IFB etc.

Sharp have excellent after sales service in Kolkata. They demoed me within 48 hours of buying their product. Don't know about other places.

I only buy consumer electronics after extensive market study. I am not one of those who just goes in with a budget a gets what ever is available.
