Before you buy a microwave ovens you need to do a little research into the type of product you want! Heres a few questions you need to ask yourself; What do i need a microwave oven for? What am i going to use my microwave oven for? Where am going to locate my microwave? How much power do i need?
Now there are some of you probably reading this and thinking what the hell is this idiot on about, but if you only want to use your microwave to reheat food and drinks you don't need a top of the range microwave oven. All you want get is small compact microwave with a fairly low power level and easy to understand. There are a great range produced by most of the major manufacturers, and although basic they will do the job you want.
If you are using your microwave to cook full meals from scratch its worth considering buying an inverter microwave or combination microwave with browning abilities. You may also consider a microwave cart or workstation where you can prepare your food. These top level microwave ovens can be quite complicated and difficult to understand so its worth keeping the instruction booklet to hand.
