To choose the most suitable microwave oven, manufacturers offer a wide range of products, but the selection criteria are different for everyone. If you are planning to buy a microwave oven now, first of all, you should pay attention to some basic parameters:
- The volume of the baking chamber;
- Device power;
- Method of processing products;
- Availability of additional functions.
Built-in and freestanding microwave ovens
A built-in microwave oven is convenient because it can be hidden anywhere, maintaining a uniform kitchen style. In this case, the arch should be 2-3 cm larger than the size of the microwave oven (height, width, and depth).
A freestanding microwave oven (placed on a stand, on a table, in the top drawer of a kitchen cabinet, on a refrigerator, or on a shelf) can be moved anytime. Adapt kitchen furniture and items, such as an air grill, to its location.
The volume of the microwave oven chamber
Volume is essential for all types of kitchen appliances, such as when you want to choose a dehydrator. The importance of a microwave chamber depends on its size and purpose. The volume of different models ranges from 17 to 42 liters. The microwave oven is chosen based on its use, and the number of family members should also be considered.
Compact microwave ovens up to 20 liters are ideal for:
- To heat food;
- For preparing simple dishes, such as sandwiches;
- For defrosting frozen food;
An excellent choice would be the Swan Retro SM22030. Swan, a British brand exclusively featured on VELI.store, has made dreamy, stylish kitchens a reality for customers since 1920.
