Product Information

The model Which? tested recommends filling the basket just halfway and using a maximum of 500g of chips, which is enough for around two to three portions. There's 19 in-built smart presets including Smart Cook, Smart Reheat and Smart Defrost which allow you to have full control of the temperatures when cooking your favourites. The built-in oven also features inverter technology (like the Sage at number 6) which ensures a multitude of ways to prepare meals from steaming to roasting and baking. Essentially a grill microwave is just like a microwave oven but with the addition of a specialised grill plate that you can use whilst cooking. As the potential for cooking opens up, so does the price tag in most cases. Combination microwaves tend to be pricier, so it's worth looking at a solo microwave if you only plan to heat up and defrost foods. Integrated Microwave

Microwaves have received a bad rep in the past, mainly due to the close association with unhealthy ready meals.There's a button for every need you could think of - including melting caramel, chocolate or softening butter - great if you're an avid baker and you usually find yourself burning ingredients when melting them on the hob.

Although a bit more advanced than a solo model, grill microwaves tend to be less versatile than a 'combination' style microwaves - which gives you more options for baking, roasting and more. Combination Microwave While the slow-cooked option required the least amount of work, it was 22p more expensive, costing 31p in energy.

While the pressure cooker and halogen oven produced great cakes, they took longer than the oven and used more energy, costing 2p and 7p more respectively. Which? found that it cost 11p and took just 32 minutes - but it also meant having to sacrifice the distinctive crispy skin that other appliances still managed to achieve. Whether you're hoping to cook more efficiently, or reheat that final portion from the batch cooking you made last week; there's no doubt about it that microwaves offer versatility and efficiency. Which? found that a microwave was 3p to 4p cheaper than using an induction hob or pressure cooker, both of which cost 7p.

However, for the modern family and individuals who live alone microwaves can be a godsend in the kitchen – it's no wonder that 93% of British households have one.On the higher end of the price scale, this techy microwave boasts some impressive features that are well worth the money.
