Which Microwave Oven is BEST ?

Last week i had visit to my relative where 1st time i used MICROWAVE OVEN for making maggi & also used for re-heated chicken egg roll.

My frnd said, MWO foods are good for health. So now i want to buy a good & value for money OVEN. My budget: Rs.7000 - Rs.8000

I dont know which one is good, so help me to choose a good oven for 1st time user.

Re: ►► Which Microwave Oven is BEST ?

See Microwaves are mainly of three types:
Solo - Which only heat stuff, ie maggi, packed stuff etc.
Grill - Has a top grill, can make pizza etc
Convection - All in one, can make cakes, biscuits.

Even if u're new to this, I'd suggest go for a convection MWO as it can do a lot of work. And u dont want to buy a solo now and later buy a convection coz u want to bake a cake !

I'd suggest if possible increase ur budget by 1-1.5k and get a decent convection MWO
LG MC2149bb - Flipkart Convection - 9780.

Samsung MW73BD - Solo - 5k

Rest choice is urs..

Guess LG and Samsung have good MWO. For a lesser price you could go for Godrej, IFb etc. Godrej is also good., but my vote always for LG or SAMSUNG.

Re: ►► Which Microwave Oven is BEST ?

In my experience, MW with baking features are not that good. I mean the baking done by a microwave is not as good as baking done by a regular Oven.
I have been using mw since last 12 years and never felt the need to have grill/convection features in it. I do have oven for those things.
So, if space is not a constrain and if making a pizza is the only thing that you can think of doing in a mw+grill, then go for a mw with grill etc. Else buy a basic MW. Should not cost more than 4.5k for 20lts.

Microwaves are best used for making maggi, pasta, oat etc, reheating stuffs, making rice, boiling potatoes, steaming vegetables etc.

If that's the case, go for Grill. Its will surely fulfill ur requirements...

Re: ►► Which Microwave Oven is BEST ?

I have heard that Samsung ones are pretty good and are also easy repairable, their spare parts are available widely and are quite cheap also.

Re: ►► Which Microwave Oven is BEST ?

^^ lol, Samsung = not recommended with their ceramic cavity.

Pick up ones with stainless steel cavity ones from LG, IFB, Whirlpool etc.

yea. Grill is fine. Convection is not needed. And if you ever decide to bake, a cheap OTG is recommended.

Hmmm, that was told to me by a person who repairs microovens.
Well thanks for the info mate.
BTW you know any particular model as I am also planning to replace mine which was bought from US around 15yrs back. Still it rocks but now it is giving problems and the main issue is that no one can repair it.But it is difficult to find one these days here in India which is better or comparable to mine which was bought 15yrs back from US.
