Microwaves
Which type of microwave oven is best?
If you’ve got a new microwave on your wishlist, there’s a few different kinds on the market to consider. All with different features and advantages:
- Convection microwave oven. Also known as combination ovens, convection microwaves do it all - steam, crisp, reheat and cook - with one or two heating elements.
- Non convection microwave oven. These conventional microwaves are limited to heating up or defrosting food. Can be cheaper and smaller.
- Inverter microwave oven. Inverter microwaves even out the flow of power for a more stable cooking process.
How much power do microwaves use?
Microwaves are popular for a heap of reasons, the main one being how quickly they heat up, cook, or defrost food. That means they’re more efficient than a regular oven. As a result, they use way less power. Microwaves come with different power levels, which gives you extra flexibility in what they can do, and how much power they use doing it. When it comes to wattage, you can choose from a range of different options at JB, including:
- 700w microwaves
- 750w microwaves
- 1000w microwaves
- 1100w microwaves
- 1200w microwaves
Like fridges, freezers, and dishwashers, microwave sizes are measured in litres. Whether you’re after a large or compact microwave oven, look for information such as 34l inverter microwave, 25l microwave, 32l microwave. Usually, the bigger they are, the more power they need to run.
