Microwave oven designs and features have advanced dramatically in recent years. Some even come with a built-in conventional oven or grill. Here are five of the best microwaves for sale in Australia. They are listed by make with the most popular model for each carrier.
The type of microwave you buy will depend on your personal requirements, so think about the purpose of the oven. A small, compact model may be all you need if it is to be used simply for defrosting and reheating. While larger designs with built-in grills or conventional ovens will continue where the oven will be used for your entire kitchen.
Sharp
For a compact oven that’s just about the cheapest in the Sharps range, the Sharp R230LS Compact 800W is fast and efficient for both fresh and frozen food. It has a reheat and instant cook option for things like a baked potato or a dinner plate, as well as five power levels. This is a good affordable unit that will take care of the basics.
panasonic
The Panasonic NNT704QF 44L Inverter Microwave comes with a satin stainless steel fascia to match your other appliances. This is a powerful 1100 watt oven with a 380mm turntable for the biggest kitchen jobs. With ten power levels and a one-touch sensor for cooking and reheating, there’s not much you can’t cook. It uses inverter cooking technology and a humidity sensor and is in the mid-price range.
Daewoo
In the lower price range is the Daewoo KOR1A5A 31L Stainless Steel Microwave. This is a budget option with five auto cook menus and ten power levels. It has easy stage cooking and hold time functions, and is ideal for reheating and defrosting.
LG
Before heading to the stores, take a look online for stores that supply home appliances. There are some great deals with online shopping, including the LG MS1949G 19LT 700W Microwave Oven in a clean white finish. It is a basic unit but for the price it will do everything you want for auto defrost and menu with quick start function.
west house
The Westinghouse 28-Liter Built-In Microwave is designed to blend seamlessly with your other stainless steel appliances. With a built-in grill function comes a larger number of dishes. Start cooking using a microwave, and then grill food until golden brown and crisp.
Microwave power is generated at 900 watts while the grill is 1100 watts. Eight programs give you a wider selection to create great meals.
Deciding which microwave oven best suits your needs will depend first of all on the reason for the purchase. If you just want something that is going to defrost and cook automatically, then the basic model of any range will suffice. On the other hand, if you’re feeding a large family and need a sturdy oven with a built-in grill, you may need to do a little more research before taking the plunge.
