Modern microwave ovens are diverse not only in design and size but also in their functionality. Depending on the features of the device, the price also differs. Most often, it is customary to allocate microwaves according to the principle of operation.

• Solo microwaves are the easiest and most affordable option. They use only microwave radiation. These models are perfect for heating dishes or defrosting processed foods. Such devices differ in microwave power in the range from 600 to 1500 watts. The higher the power, the faster the heating occurs, but even an indicator of 700-800 W is enough for quick and high-quality cooking. A furnace is more powerful - it is an uneconomical consumption of energy. The control system for solo furnaces is usually mechanical, but sometimes it is electronic. Such models are most often the smallest in size and volume.

• Microwave ovens with a grill are the most optimal option in terms of price - functionality. In such devices, in addition to microwaves, quartz or TEN grills are used, which allows you to cook using a heating element. The product thus acquires a beautiful fried crust. The heater is located at the top or side, there are also models with a double grill. Such models are budget options, but the heating element in them takes up a lot of space in the chamber.

Such a grill is equipped with more expensive models of stoves. Microwave ovens with a grill allow you to combine operating modes, have more power levels (up to 1,500 Vi), an increased chamber volume, and also wide functionality.

Convection allows you to cook many dishes: bake pies, bake meat, stew vegetables. Microwave ovens with convection mode have a power of at least 1350 watts. If you want to choose a microwave with all the functions of an oven, such a model of the oven will be the best choice.
