<p>With a 25-litre capacity, this flatbed microwave has a large footprint but is impressively versatile. It comes with grill, convection and defrost settings alongside its standard microwave function, and a baking tray and grill rack are also included.</p>
<p>The microwave hums quietly in use and retains heat well, and the flatbed interior is easy to wipe down. We also achieved great results when using the jacket potato preset – our potato had crisp skin and was soft and fluffy in the centre.</p>

<p>This microwave is ideal for families with endless clever functions and is easy to use. It’s not only handsome looking, but solidly built with a self-closing door, which is a game-changer. The 3-in-1 model merges air-frying, convection and microwaving cooking, making it a breeze to cook with different methods and the Element iQ inverter system cleverly diverts power to where it’s needed most.</p>

<p>This versatile microwave from Samsung comes with a range of features not often found on microwaves, including specific settings for proving dough and making yogurt. There are also options for cooking spinach, grilled salmon, and quinoa, ‘Slim Fry’ presets for onion rings and fries, and auto-reheat settings for dishes like frozen pizza. It has a large footprint and can be noisy during use, but it performed well when cooking and defrosting and the manual is impressively thorough.</p>

<p>Ideal for a household of three or four, this 22-litre Beko microwave comes with a variety of functions for specific tasks, including melting chocolate and reheating drinks. There are presets for pizza, pasta, fish, rice, steak and veggies, too, though we had to rely on the manual to identify some of the icons.</p>
<p>We liked its sleek touchscreen display and understated design, and though some of our cooking results were mixed, this model’s defrost setting was impressively speedy – and it consistently heated soup without splattering at all.</p>

<p>Featuring soft-touch, wood-effect accents and a shiny mirrored door, this offering from Russell Hobbs is a fantastic model for those on a budget.</p>
<p>For basic microwaving tasks, this Russell Hobbs model did a pretty good job. Its 700-watt motor struggled to defrost chicken as quickly as we’d have liked, but if you’re looking for something on the more energy-efficient side, it’s worth considering.</p>

<p>At 40 litres, this large multi-functional microwave is ideal for large households in need of extra cooking space. There are two cooking trays and two racks of different heights provided, alongside a large instruction manual with cooking and defrosting charts and 120 recipes.</p>
<p>All three main functions – cooking, grilling, and microwaving – performed well in testing, and we liked that the baked potato function allows you to input the number of potatoes you want to cook (rather than just weight).</p>
<p>The auto-cook functions for dishes like pizza and ready meals are also listed on the control panel, so you don’t need to keep referring back to the manual. Read our full <a href="/review/sharp-combination-microwave-oven" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sharp combination microwave oven</a>.</p>

<p>This microwave has a matte finish which would make a stylish addition to any kitchen. With a 20-litre capacity this isn’t one for larger families but would work well for individuals, couples or small groups and, with a compact footprint, takes up minimal countertop space.</p>
<p>The microwave comes with eight pre-settings including pizza cooking, popcorn and reheating, and on test we found it intuitive and easy to use.</p>

<h2><a id="HOWTOSHOP"></a>How to shop safely online</h2>
<p>It’s easy to get swayed by a good deal, but if a price feels too good to be true, there’s a good chance that it is. When shopping online, try to avoid purchasing from sellers or websites you don’t recognise, or that have been suggested to you via social media – this way, you can reduce the risk of being duped by scams.</p>
<p>Rest assured, we will only ever add links to this page unless we’re 100 per cent familiar and comfortable with the brand. Try to always use the recommended secure payment methods when making your purchase, too, and avoid giving away personal data similar to security questions (such as the name of your first pet), as these can be used to guess passwords.

<h2>Standard vs combination microwaves: what’s the difference?</h2>
<p>If you’re undecided about whether to invest in a standard microwave or a combination model, here are a few key differences to consider:</p>
<p><strong>Functionality: </strong>Combination (or combi) microwaves are essentially miniature ovens that allow you to cook, bake, or sometimes even air-fry – which means they tend to be more versatile. However, if all you need your microwave to do is reheat, fast-bake, or defrost, a standard model might be the way to go.</p>
<p><strong>Size: </strong>Because most combi microwaves can do so much more than standard models, they tend to be quite a bit larger – which means they’re better suited to those with bigger kitchens. Standard microwaves are usually more compact, which is more convenient if you have limited countertop space.</p>
<p><strong>Efficiency: </strong>By their very nature, combination microwaves tend to be more expensive to run because they need more energy to power all the different functions they can perform. That said, if you’re looking to buy one to replace your oven, a combi model could help you save money in the long-run, as they’re capable of heating more quickly.</p>
<h2><a id="HOWWEFIND"></a>How do we find microwave deals?</h2>
<p>When looking for microwave deals, we explore a wide range of retailer websites to see what discounts they’re offering. As brands compete with one another, we’ve noticed that often prices can vary throughout the day. As such, we track all prices and keep this page up to date with the newest deals.</p>
<p>But our deals searches aren’t just reserved for the larger sites, we also look at smaller ones too. Often they’re able to offer a price that the larger retailers simply cannot. Our aim is to help you make informed purchasing decisions and find the best price, whatever the retailer.</p>

<h2><a id="HOWTOGET"></a>How to get a good microwave deal</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Head to the reviews:</strong> it’s easy to quickly buy a microwave with an impressive discount, but there’s every chance the model you’re looking at is a poor performer. The best way to figure out whether a model is going to give you what you want is buy reading reviews. At BBC Good Food, we’ve tested a range of both combination and standard microwaves to let you know what’s really worth buying.</li>
<li><strong>Stick to a budget:</strong> before you even begin on your research journey, work out how much you’re willing to spend. It’s great to be able to save money during sales, but the only way to really make the most of them is to stick to your budget.</li>
