I do this after having to search among several models as a result of my old device breaking. The truth is that I was consulting between various brands until deciding which microwave to buy.
I want to help with this article to all the people who want to know which is the best microwave. In advance I want to warn you that among all these options, any of them is suitable .
Comparison of the best home microwaves of 2020
Recommended products and opinions
1. Toshiba EM131A5C-BS Microwave Oven
- Functional and complete
The Toshiba EM131A5C-BS microwave is undoubtedly one of the great options to consider when knowing which microwave to buy . It is for several reasons that basically could summarize how complete it is.
It has several cooking modes and a not inconsiderable power of 700W . This means that it can fulfill various functions, including defrosting, the browning function and, of course, the grill, the most unstable of it.
It has ample space to heat, with which we can cook very comfortably on a microwave grill. The grill function goes up to 900W, the normal function up to 700W with five different power modes.
So, if you are looking for a complete, aesthetic appliance, with a good capacity to charge it and at the same time being affordable, the Toshiba EM131A5C-BS is undoubtedly a good option to consider when thinking about which microwave to buy.
Its timer goes up to thirty minutes and it also has a way to notify when the time we set is up. It is therefore ideal to use with all kinds of microwave cooking pots.
Its controls are classic, so it is easy to program . Specifically they are roulette so that anyone can use it. The truth is that in recent years it seemed that to use a microwave you had to study a degree. The Toshiba EM131A5C-BS is easy to use at best, the truth.
Its design is careful and the materials are of quality . It does not rest directly on the table, which is appreciated because although it seems that it does not make it more structurally manageable.
The only negative point I could put on this microwave is that I would have liked it to bring some more accessories. The truth is that a grill or a cover would make it a perfect purchase. It is also true that almost none includes it for the price it has.
Conclusion:
I consider that this microwave is a good option because it is one of the most complete models at a lower price. We can find other more well-known brands that for the same price either offer us less power or do not offer us microwaves with grill. I consider this important point since a microwave should not be a pot in the 21st century just to heat. For daily use it is perfect for being very easy to handle, without complications, with the classic roulettes of a lifetime that we have all always understood. And I don't even mention the price, because it's spectacular.
2. Panasonic NN-SN766S Microwave Oven
- Simple and very managed
It could be said that the Panasonic NN-SN766S is the classic microwave that fulfills the functions expected of it. Indeed, it has a defrost and heat function. At the same time, these modes are divided into several powers.
It has a capacity of up to 20 liters , which is more than enough to heat all kinds of pots and cook with those that are indicated for it in the microwave. In general it is a great option when deciding which microwave to buy if you do not want to complicate your existence very much and you want guarantees.
The truth is that the Panasonic brand offers a wide variety of household utensils ranging from braziers to microwaves to blenders. I do not know a single person who has ever spoken ill of this brand.
In terms of quality of designs and especially in terms of durability, everything they do is wonderful. I can tell you that several of the appliances that I have at home (among others a brazier) continue to work as well as they did 20 years ago.
It is a microwave therefore it can guarantee us a lot of efficiency with 700W of power, both for defrosting and for cooking . It has a 30 minute timer, more than enough to cook in a suitable pot such as a chicken.
Its design means that it can have a lot of capacity inside despite being a compact model . That will make it not occupy too much on our counter and can accompany us for several decades without giving us a single problem: insurance.
I particularly like its design: it is attractive and uncomplicated, it also has wheels for handling so it is a perfect gift for the elderly or for the typical son who has just become independent. Value for money I consider it a bargain, the truth.
The negative point that I find in the Panasonic NN-SN766S microwave is that it does not have a grill. It is not, therefore, a microwave oven, but a dry microwave. That, although it does not mean that we cannot cook in it, it does mean that in many cases we will need specific appliances to do it. However, it doesn't have to be a drawback either since most people have never microwaved and don't plan to.
Conclusion:
As I said, the best thing about this microwave model and the main factor that can help us include it as a candidate for the best quality / price ratio microwave is to belong to a brand of such quality as Panasonic. Almost certainly that will mean that we will have a microwave for almost all life. Indeed, the quality of all its models is impeccable and very durable. So, if you are looking for a microwave that is easy to use, that does not complicate your life and lives up to what a microwave has to do (which is normally basically heating and defrosting), the Panasonic NN-SN766S is undoubtedly a great microwave option for you.
3. Daewoo KOR-7LREW - High Technology
Here comes a microwave device for those demanding to read me . If what you are looking for is what is usually said a "pro" microwave, you have certainly found it with the Daewoo KOR 7LREW.
It is a device only a tad more expensive than the previous two, however, it more than compensates for this thanks to everything it can offer us in exchange. For starters, it has more power since it reaches 700W in the heating function .
Secondly, it has more capacity since it has up to 23 liters of capacity which is very loose and more than enough to be able to cook with the appropriate microwave utensils.
If what you are thinking about is which microwave to buy and you want one that goes with metallic materials and good taste in your kitchen, the Daewoo KOR 7LREW is a great option and certainly one of the ones that you should mainly consider.
It has five power levels, so it is indicated for various functions ranging from defrosting to browning for meats and vegetables. It also has a unique function: defrosting by weight and time.
This means that it is capable of adjusting its power to the needs of each specific plate . This is very useful since too often a large piece is cooked on the outside and frozen inside with other microwaves.
Its entire cover is stainless steel , which goes well with any kind of aesthetics for the kitchen. Despite its avant-garde design, it is easy to handle. It has five keys for the different modes and for pause and start and a wheel that allows us to vary power and time on a digital screen in front of it.
In short, it seems to me that it is a pretty good microwave model considering the price it has . For the quality of its materials, for the greater capacity of its interior, for design and for its greater power it seems to me that it has a more than reasonable price compared to other models that give less for more.
Without a doubt, the Daewoo KOR 7LREW is a great purchase option for those looking for a practical and complete microwave thanks to technology.
It has a child lock, it has a grill and naturally a timer.
From my point of view, the only "but" that could put this appliance is that, despite the fact that its metal design makes it suitable for practically any kitchen, the truth is that when cleaning it, you will need metal products. In addition, objectively it must be said that there are always more finger marks on the metal than on the plastic or colored metal such as white. For the rest, I consider that this device deserves the highest score.
Conclusion:
As I said before, if you are looking for a microwave of guarantees in exchange for an affordable price, the Daewoo KOR 7LREW may be a great option for you. For the price it is rare to see a microwave with a grill, with a grill and, in general, with so many functions and such an attractive design. I especially like the topic of the anti-child block because the truth is that they are always touching everything.
4. Calphalon 2106488 - Easier impossible
As I say in the title, the Calphalon 2106488 is "easier impossible". It has a classic use system, which includes wheels to adjust temperature and time; no more no less.
I consider this microwave to be one of those that can be a pearl to those who are looking for a functional appliance at a low price that does the service expected of a microwave every day.
It has a power of up to 700W, which is more than enough to heat and even brown in the case of meats and vegetables. It must also be said that its power has up to six adjustable levels that allow you to carry out any task. That is all a microwave should be asked to be capable of defrosting and also capable of heating.
The simplicity of its use makes it especially suitable for older people . It is therefore a good gift for them to leave the happy saucepan every time they want to heat something: in the long run it saves money and resources thanks to the fact that it uses little electricity.
It has a capacity of 20 liters, which is what this type of microwave usually has taking into account its power and performance. At the same time, its timer is 30 minutes so with this microwave we can cook with suitable utensils for it.
It certainly seems like a great buy because it offers all the performance you would expect in a microwave in exchange for a fairly affordable price. At the same time, if you are thinking about which microwave to buy, the Calphalon 2106488 is undoubtedly a good option both for its design and for the quality of its materials that should be sufficient to guarantee long durability.
The only but that could put this Calphalon 2106488 is that it does not have a grill function. Despite being suitable for both power and the ability of its timer to perform the cooking function, it is necessary to use utensils adapted to this type of kitchen. However, for the price it has, I consider it to be quite complete and in fact compensates for this lack with design, functionality and simplicity when using it.
Conclusion:
I consider this microwave to be a good option if you do not know which microwave to buy and you do not have great pretensions or big complications. Indeed, with this appliance you can fulfill the basic functions of a microwave (heated and defrosted) in a simple and effective way. At the same time, it is more than affordable, making it an investment that will accompany you for several years in exchange for a modest initial outlay.
5. Samsung MG11H2020CT - Optimal Design and Technology
The Samsung MG11H2020CT is a very complete device : surely the most complete of those we have seen so far because it is the one that incorporates the most technology. Indeed, its exterior appearance already makes it clear that we are dealing with one of the microwave super designs.
If you are still thinking about which microwave to buy and you are thinking about it a lot precisely because you want to make the most of it and you are looking for a very complete appliance, the Samsung MG11H2020CT may be a good option for you.
First of all, its finish is spectacular. It has an opaque screen that when the microwave is turned on does allow you to see what is inside . However, the rest of the time not only goes unnoticed but it is also very elegant.
Despite the compactness of its design, it has a fairly large capacity compared to other similar models: it reaches 23 liters . That means that there will be enough space inside it to cook even large pieces that take a long time.
Its power is organized around six power levels and reaches a total of 1000W . With this we are guaranteed that we can use it in different uses; from defrosting food to cooking or browning for meats and vegetables.
Regarding the defrosting function, it must be said that it is adapted according to weight . This guarantees that all defrosting will be done correctly, preventing the outside from being cooked and the inside from being completely frozen.
It should also be noted that the entire surface of this microwave is ceramic . When choosing the best microwave, we must also pay attention to how easy it is to clean . In this case, since the entire ceramic surface is made, dirt cannot accumulate and it only takes a damp cloth to clean it without difficulties.
By the way, with this we avoid the proliferation of bacteria and the need to use products to eliminate them that in the long run deteriorate the devices.
On its handling, it is somewhat more novel than previous roulette models . It has several keys that are designed to make its use easier, although at first it may be difficult to understand exactly how it works.
If it is you or yourself who plans to do cooking functions in two afternoons, you will have learned how it works and probably the rest of the members of the house will like it and only need the simple way.
The only negative point that I can find is that it is a microwave whose control keys can be a bit messy for some people. At first use, we probably don't know how it works. In the long run this is not a problem, but it may not be a suitable device for all kinds of clients (for example, the elderly).
Conclusion:
I consider the Samsung MG11H2020CT to be a top device on this list. It is so for the quality of its design, the elegance of its appearance and its great versatility. It offers a lot, and that is why it is priced higher than the other models. However, its advantages make our life easier, especially that of an easy-to-clean ceramic material that offers us not to waste much time on cleaning and at the same time optimal maintenance without the proliferation of bacteria.
6. Tovala Gen 2 Smart Steam Oven - Best quality / price ratio
I have always thought that some brands far from focusing so much on design focus more on functionality. That is why every customer subsequently has their favorite brands. We could say that Tovala is the brand that offers more in exchange for saving on design.
The truth is that we see the Tovala Gen 2 and it seems like a microwave of a lifetime. However, it is much more: its power is divided into five power levels that reach 700W for heating and 1000W for the grill.
This means more power (for the grill) than most microwaves that do not even include this function . And all this also for less price than most of them. Its use despite being distributed in an electronic panel and not being the classic wheel panel is easy.
This is because it is very intuitive and has all the keys organized according to the type of food and the operation we want to perform . That is why it seems to me a very important option to consider if you are thinking about which microwave to buy.
It also incorporates the automatic defrost system based on size and weight, a function that few microwaves still have today and that we do not usually find in other microwaves at this price.
For all these reasons, I consider that the Tovala Gen 2 is a great option that offers a lot in exchange for a low budget . I would definitely give it a ten.
If I had to put a but to this microwave, I would have liked it to have a ceramic interior surface instead of painted to be able to clean it better, however, you cannot have everything in this life.
Conclusion:
If you are looking for something cheap, good and complete, without a doubt the Tovala Gen 2 is a great option for you. For a more than reasonable and affordable price you can have a microwave with various functions ranging from defrosting to the grill to heating with more power than other models. Incidentally, it has a defrosting function by weight and size, which will save you a lot of headaches. In short, Tovala offers us with this microwave model one that at the cost of saving in design is able to offer more in performance.
Buying guide of the best microwaves
When choosing the best microwave you must pay attention to several aspects that I will detail below . Taking those criteria into account and looking for advice among other buyers, you will be able to find your ideal option.
Power to heat
The heating power basically serves to give us an idea of how fast our microwave can act. At the same time it is important to take it into account to know whether or not you can carry out different operations such as poaching vegetables in it . In many cases we will need lower powers for according to what things although the truth is that many people put it to the limit for anything which is totally inadvisable. A microwave should have a minimum of 600W of maximum power.
Capacity
The smaller the capacity of your microwave, the less work you can do with it. If you just want to heat a cup and plate from time to time you may want to consider using a saucepan directly. The ideal capacity ranges from 18 liters to 23 liters. With it we can defrost pieces that, otherwise, we would have to use the oven, which is also not suitable for it. Therefore, take into account not only the capacity necessary for day-to-day use, but also the most exceptional uses such as defrosting.
Modes included for heating
As we have said, most microwaves include defrosting and heating functions. However, others include the grill function that would allow baking in a way. It must be said that if we have the right utensils, we can make the most of our microwave. We must make sure that our microwave has at least a defrosting and heating function. If it includes a grill naturally we can perform other very interesting extra functions.
How does a microwave work?
A microwave, surprising as it may seem, is actually a motion machine . More specifically, of atomic movement. Indeed, the heat of things depends on the movement of their atoms. The faster these move, the hotter an object will be. What a microwave does is emit waves that are absorbed by substances such as water or sugar.
In this way, what it does is put them in motion and thereby cause heating of all the particles that surround it. That is why we say that in a way the microwave is an atom stirrer that manages to make our food heat up as if by magic. Depending on the wavelength, its power will be greater or less.
Who invented the microwave?
Like many inventions in human history that were created by "chance," this was no exception. On any given day at his workplace, in 1945 the American engineer named Percy Spencer was working on another project to improve a radar; that's when he realized that the chocolate bar in his pocket started to melt.
Being surrounded by magnetrons (a device that transforms electrical energy into electromagnetic energy in the form of a micro wave), he realized that this influenced the chocolate bar by heating it thanks to low intensity electromagnetic micro waves. After several successful trials with other foods, the microwave oven came on the market two years later and can now even be cooked in.

What are microwaves made of?
It is completely covered in metal, it also has aluminum, glass and cable parts. Practically, microwave ovens are manufactured by closed circuits of conductive materials (steel, alloys, etc.), making it a radiation-impervious appliance.
Parts of the microwave
Although it seems very complicated, its operation is really very simple and that means that it has few parts or components that make up the microwave oven. Basically its parts are:
• The magnetron: Without it there is no microwave oven, this lamp is essential since it is the one that emits the small high frequency waves (microwaves) that are used to heat foods; It is basically a diode-type electronic tube (which circulates current in one direction only).
• The anode: It is a hollow iron cylinder (positive pole) with internal cavities (resonant).
• The filament: It is the heater that serves as a cathode (negative pole) in the tube (magnetron).
• The antenna:It is the one that transmits the energy of the micro wave.
• The resonance box: Thanks to it, these small waves “bounce” around the same axis, returning to the same place, forming a standing wave, impacting the food in question. Without this sound box (magnet) the waves would be shot everywhere and would not have the final effect that is obtained by heating the food in these electrical appliances. And because of this, you already know why you can't use the microwave with the door open!

When a microwave rusts inside
This happens when microwaves are lost due to misuse. If the microwave oven is left on for a long time like this, the metal under the oxide can be exposed creating sparks or arching damaging the microwave. What you should do is paint it with special microwave paint that can be brushed or sprayed, as you prefer and follow the seller's recommendations.
Are there left-handed microwaves?
For left-handers as such there are no or at least with that name until now, but microwave ovens are available in the market with inverted doors and this can make life easier for a left-handed person in the kitchen; they just have to search a little bit because they are quite difficult to get.
Containers for microwave use
In the market there is a wide variety of options when choosing which containers or accessories to use within microwave ovens, here we will give you some recommendations:
Glass or ceramic containers
The most used, but we recommend that you check bring the label when you buy it, indicating that it can be placed inside your microwave oven because in the case of glass containers, not any glass withstands the heat inside the microwave and can cause an accident .
Cardboard or paper packaging
You can use it with confidence, as long as they don't have ink or paint that can melt. Avoid the paper is brown, because you could create a fire.
Microwave browning tray
It is one more accessory of the microwave oven, made of a special material whose property is to absorb a large amount of energy causing its temperature to rise with which we will achieve natural browns. It has a special paint that attracts microwaves, so it can reach a temperature of approximately 350 ° C. It is the only accessory that enters the microwave empty, it does not cause smoke or odor, it cannot be used in all microwaves, ask the supplier.
Why does the microwave not turn on / work?
The microwave oven can present some faults and these have as consequences that our microwave begins to present problems. Among the reasons why it may not turn on or function correctly are the following:
• It turns on, but does not accept commands or commands. This can be caused by a short circuit in the microcontroller or there may be water (liquids left after careless washing) on the membranes.
• Turns on and accepts the order, but does nothing. This happens because the digital board inside is dirty, full of grease or oil, also that it was cleaned with a wire sponge (serious error).
• Does not heat.This happens because the magnetron stopped working, it must be replaced and holy remedy.
• Some keys do not accept commands. The membrane that covers the keyboard is broken and affects the internal operation of the electronic board, it can be changed or painted with conductive paint, but it does not always give good results.
• Works, but not hot, and smells burnt. The expert must check all the parts of the microwave very well from the inside, for that he uses special equipment to test them. Depending on the results of the diagnosis, they may be able to repair it or they will have to buy a new microwave oven.
Remember to look for a technical specialist in microwave oven repair if you do not know how to do it or simply, let an expert do it.

Differences between microwave oven and electric oven
Both operate on the basis of electrical current, but their operation is different.
The microwave oven works by means of electromagnetic waves, which cause food molecules to stir by cooking or heating them.
The electric oven works by heating one or more heating elements and preparing the meals is more natural, keeping them softer / juicier on the inside and crisp on the outside.

More about microwaves
Due to possible health problems that can cause (according to some people) such as damage that your microwave oven may suffer, here we review some considerations that you should take into account when you are going to use a microwave.
Microwave & radiation
The interior of the microwave is completely covered with metal in order to reflect the radiation in the metal and thus not allow the electrons to escape. This particular microwave condition makes it more efficient and is a way to protect users from the waves.
So far, the consensus is that microwave energy exposure from ovens is minimal, according to the US Food and Drug Administration.
