Urgh my microwave died. Do I get a fancy one or a cheap simple one. Convection and airfry seem to be things in microwaves now. e: hmm 3v3 votes. Imma see if the next Aldi has the convection on sale else I'll get a $50 700W baby microwave, babies are less than 20Litres yeah?
Cheap. The expensive ones die twice as fast in my experience. Currently have a Westinghouse, after a Samsung died 2 weeks after the warranty expired. Have always paid $$ for Sharp, but the cheap Westinghouse is doing a great job.
I have a Samsung. It's small. 2 things it doesn't do is large popcorn bags and microwave rice standing up (I lay it on It's side. It does the job). Go with one that microwaves, grills and bakes.
Those flatbed ones where your food stays still seem interesting. They're a bit more than a traditional microwave but it could be worth it for the extra space
It's 99% re-heating meal prep or cooking poppadums so I don't need a heap of space.
