How to choose a microwave oven in the price/quality ratio?

The first criterion by which one chooses a microwave oven is its cost. Deciding on a budget is really important, but price should not be the decisive criterion.

It is important to pay attention to other technical characteristics as well:

1. Chamber volume. Small microwave ovens of 12-19 liters usually have limited functionality, but for quick heating or defrosting of food they are enough. Medium models with a volume of 20-25 liters are often equipped with a grill, and large microwave ovens (25-40 liters) have the widest range of functions and, in fact, can completely replace the oven.
2. Type of installation. In addition to traditional freestanding models, recessed models have recently appeared on the market. They allow you to save space in the room without losing functionality.
3. Control. Can be electronic or mechanical. The mechanical is considered more reliable, but the electronic allows you to more accurately set the parameters of cooking your favorite dishes.
4. Chamber coating. Microwave ovens with enamel coating are the cheapest, but not the most durable, because over time the enamel begins to crack. Stainless steel coating is considered a more advanced option. But it should be borne in mind that you can remove dried grease from such a coating only with special cleaning agents. In the most expensive microwave ovens, the chamber is covered with ceramic or bioceramic. This coating is not only durable and easy to clean from dirt, but also has antibacterial properties.

It is also advisable to evaluate the functionality of the microwave before buying. If the budget is not limited, it is better to choose a model with steam cleaning of the chamber, grill, odor removal function and rotisserie included.
