1What wattage microwave do I need for my kitchen?
Most household microwaves range from 600-1000W — higher wattage means faster cooking and more even heating. For a small household or dorm, 600-700W is fine; for families or frequent cooking, aim for 800W+. Check your kitchen's electrical capacity too, as high-power models need proper outlets.
2How do I choose between microwave sizes and capacity?
Capacity ranges from 17 litres for compact models to 32+ litres for large families. Measure your kitchen space first, then pick a size that fits comfortably on your counter or cabinet. A good rule: 20-25 litres works for most 2-4 person households.
3What features actually matter in a microwave cooker?
Look for auto-cook menus (heating is easier than guessing), a reliable timer, and even heat distribution. Convection microwaves heat faster and brown food better, but cost more — worth it only if you do serious cooking. Child safety locks matter if you have kids at home.
4What's the difference between solo, grill, and convection microwaves?
Solo microwaves heat using microwaves only — simplest and cheapest. Grill adds a heating coil for crisping and browning. Convection adds an oven-style fan for even cooking and baking — best for serious cooks but pricier and bulkier. Pick based on what you actually cook.
5When should I spend more on a premium microwave?
Premium models offer better build quality, sensor cooking (auto-adjusts time based on food), faster cooking speeds, and more reliable components. Spend extra if you use it daily and want durability, but standard models work fine for basic reheating and cooking.
