Which company produces the best microwaves?

It is said that during the war in Yugoslavia, the Serbian army used microwave ovens without doors as simulators of radars, without understanding, however, the brands of manufacturers. And today the question of which company is best to buy a microwave oven is very relevant, even though these kitchen machines are purchased for completely peaceful purposes: to defrost, heat up or cook food.

In order to determine which company produces the best microwave ovens, we recall that, depending on the structural filling, they are:

• "Solos" that perform the function of only warming up or thawing due to the operation of microwave waves;
• “Grill” with a built-in Tenn or quartz grill, which fry meat, fish and other products, preserving the substances useful in them;
• “Convection”, where, thanks to the built-in fan, hot air is supplied and thus the products in the chamber are evenly baked.

Controlled by remote controls:

• push-button;
• mechanical;
• touch.

Microwaves are also divided by volume and power, which starts at 500 watts and ends at 2500 watts. The volume is selected depending on family members and the amount of food prepared.

Statistics and Priorities

According to statistics, sales ratings of world brands from those that manufacture microwave ovens were distributed in such a way that the top five included:

1. Hot Sales is a trademark of the Korean company LG.
2. The products of the Italian-American company Whirlpool, which ranks second in sales, are successfully sold.
3. Korean Samsung is a bit behind.
4. In an honorable fourth place is the Japanese company Sharp.
5. Closes the top five - Korean Daewoo.

A very good result from the Swedish company Electrolux and a good one from the Japanese Panasonic, German Miele and Siemens. The Russian Vitek is also among the top ten manufacturers, as it meets the increased demands of customers.

The rating alone shows how tough the competition is among manufacturers of microwave ovens.

But this same competition forces creators to use innovative solutions, work on design excellence, and develop multifunctional and at the same time easy-to-use models. So to determine which company products are better is very difficult.

Let's get acquainted with the products of the first three leaders of the list above.

New Bestsellers

The best global microwave development company LG never ceases to amaze with its products.

So, among the latest innovations, the “Duo grill” series stands out, which means “2 grills”.

It includes models: LG MH-6346 QM, LG MH-6346 PQ MS, LG MH-6346 HQ MS.

We will reveal the secret of these mysterious Latin letters and at the same time we will find out why this series is so attractive.

“MN” - means that the oven is covered with an antibacterial layer that does not allow pathogens to enter the working chamber of the appliance and that there are 2 grills. One of them is mobile heating element, and the second, upper one is quartz.

The number 63 - indicates the volume of the working space of the furnace. These numbers, translated from Korean, mean that the working volume is 23 liters.

Number 4 - indicates the touch control and the display on the front panel, where the controls are reflected. It should be emphasized that the control of the appliance is complicated due to the many modes and a large program of functions. To understand it, you need to carefully study the attached instructions.

Number 6 - indicates the year from which this model began to be developed; “P”, “H” - the type of the developed design is encrypted under these letters.

“QM” - indicates the “master grill” function, which is responsible for the good frying of a large piece of meat and the appearance of a crust on a chicken. This is ensured by the two grills mentioned above.For this function to work, the heating grill is lowered to a horizontal position, and the product is additionally processed with heat both from below and above.

"S" - indicates the color of the product, in this case it is silver.

Ovens of this series operate in 3 modes:

• grill mode;
• microwave;
• combined mode for fast cooking, in which either the two previous modes are used simultaneously or sequentially.

Each mode has its own power. So, for the microwave mode, the power is 800W, and for the grill - 2050W.

The panel contains touch control of minutes, seconds, hours and positions “more”, “less”. But you can not set the modes manually, but use the automatic settings.

The “Quick start” setting 2 minutes after pressing the button for the corresponding dish gives out preheated food.

Using the “Automatic defrost”, you can defrost 4 types of products. To do this, you only need to specify the weight, and the microwave itself will choose the time.

"Chef" has 2 modes. The first is turned on after selecting a dish and indicating its weight. The second mode "Russian Chef" offers 4 programs with popular Russian dishes.

Protection of the device from children is provided by a long press on the "start-reset" button.

So, having figured out the latest generation of LG microwave ovens, we can conclude that these devices have excellent functionality. And the opportunity to purchase them at an affordable price attracts buyers even more.

Almost a computer for cooking

With confidence we can name one of the latest Whirlpool innovations model JT 479 IX. In terms of functional capabilities, this oven is not much behind the computer.

Judge for yourself. This model contains a program for the automatic preparation of 90 dishes. But the recipes of new dishes cooked in this oven and unknown by a smart microwave still remain in my memory.

This wonderful oven, almost without the owner’s participation, will unfreeze the product and cook it herself. All this happens under the control of Assisted Chef technology.

The double boiler mode is used for cooking diet foods and baby food. There is also a mode for defrosting bread.

Whirlpool JT 479 IX turns into a real oven thanks to Crisp proprietary technology that provides operating temperatures up to 210C. But this does not prevent you from getting a well-baked dish with a crispy toasted crust on top and bottom.

Combination of modes:

• grill with microwaves;
• convection with microwaves;
• convection grill.

This allows you to quickly and easily prepare dinner for your family. The 6th Sense technology, which evenly distributes 3D waves in 33 liters of a working chamber, controls the cooking.

Whirlpool microwave ovens are very popular due to their high speed and responsiveness. And many buyers find it unimportant whether the microwave is mechanical or sensory. Better if she would be Whirlpool.

So, the Whirlpool GT 284 SL mechanical oven with buttons has all the necessary functions for the housewives to call her the main chef in the kitchen. In addition to standard defrosting and warming up dishes, this “chief chef” will fry and fry foods with a powerful quartz grill and will brown during baking. Each of the six powers of microwaves and 3D heating will create optimal conditions for preparing the intended dish, right down to drinks.

This kitchen electronic device, like all Whirlpool developments, is distinguished by its successful functionality and attractive design, ease of use and ease of maintenance, for which it enjoys well-deserved popularity.

Family model

The third line of the international rating among the creators of electronic stoves is Korean company Samsung. One of the latest developments is the improved Samsung MC28H5013AW model, it offers 85 programs for preparing healthy and tasty food. True, there is no mode for creating a crispy, crispy crust, as well as a readiness sensor.

In addition to the standard characteristics of microwaves, this model is distinguished by such features as:

• "Pre-heating."Through this function, the cooking chamber itself is preheated before cooking;
• "Healthy food" allows you to cook healthy meals without oil, preserving vitamins. To do this, in this oven at least 15 programs in automatic mode;
• “Fermentation” replaces yogurt maker and bread maker;
• "Deodorizer" allows you to clean the microwave from unpleasant odors and smoke;
• "Turn on and off the sound." A very useful feature for families with young children, for whom silence is sometimes needed;
• "Wire holder for dishes" is used when cooking, you need to remove the liquid released from the product;
• “Defrosting” is different in that it allows you to use 5 programs for this.

This is only a small list of functionality that is inherent in this model. Its volume of 28 liters allows you to cook for a large family, well, and if this volume is not enough, the rotary table with a diameter of 32 cm is turned off and a large rectangular dish is placed in the oven. But it still works quietly.

The working surface of the chamber is covered with bioceramic enamel, which is easy to clean and prevents the appearance of bacteria.

I must admit that the Samsung brand has been known on the market for a long time, but it is one of the best in terms of quality / functionality / price.

So, the reviewed products of the 3 leaders in the production of modern high-frequency furnaces are at the same level of high technology and are characterized by high-quality and reliable operation. And to select the best manufacturer from them is quite difficult. The main thing is that the purchase please the buyer.
