Which microwave to choose?

The microwave is an essential appliance in any kitchen. Whether for reheating, defrosting, or quickly cooking meals, it adapts to all uses. For even more versatility, pair it with another kitchen appliance such as a fryer or an air fryer, perfect for crispy and delicious dishes with less fat.

But with so many models on the market, how do you choose the right microwave for your needs? In this guide, we explain the key criteria to consider when making your choice.
