Countertop Microwaves

Around 20 to 25 litres suits reheating and defrosting for one or two people. Families often choose 30 litres or more for larger plates and dishes, and bigger capacities leave room for casserole dishes and family-size cooking. This collection includes sizes such as 25, 32, 42 and 70 litres, from brands including Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Sharp, Kenwood and Whirlpool.

A solo microwave reheats, defrosts and cooks with microwaves only. A grill microwave adds a heating element that browns and crisps food, for example to finish a gratin. A convection microwave also circulates hot air, so it can bake and roast like a small oven. Check each model's description to see which functions it offers.

Leave the ventilation space the manufacturer specifies on the top, sides and back, so the vents are never blocked. Place it on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from the sink and hob. If you plan to put it on a shelf or inside a cabinet niche, check that the model allows this, since many countertop microwaves need open air around them.

Heat a microwave-safe bowl of water with some lemon juice for a few minutes, then leave the door closed for a short while. The steam loosens splashes so you can wipe the cavity with a soft cloth. Wash the turntable in warm soapy water, and avoid abrasive pads that can scratch the interior. Wiping spills promptly prevents buildup.

Yes, every microwave comes with the manufacturer's warranty, without exception. Depending on the product and the manufacturer, warranty terms range from 1 to 10 years, and we pass them on transparently, just as they are supplied. Our team can confirm the exact warranty of any microwave model before you order.
