The Kaiser M 2500 ELFBE microwave oven received a 25-liter working chamber made of steel. The latter withstands operating temperatures and is not afraid of mechanical influences. 5 levels of power adjustment are available to the user in the range from 160 (for delicate defrosting, heat maintenance) to 900 watts (for fast heating of liquids).
The model is equipped with a quartz grill and convection (hot blowing). The corresponding modes can be used separately or in combination with microwaves. In addition, different proportions of capacities for specific tasks are also offered. So, for example, for baking, the manufacturer recommends using the 55% microwave + 45% hot blowing mode, and for cooking meat loaf 30% microwave + 70% grill.
There are also 3 auto-defrosting modes for different products and 6 automatic cooking programs: baby food, pizza, meat, poultry, seafood and potatoes.
To the right of the door of the Kaiser M 2500 ELFBE microwave oven is a control panel with touch buttons and an LED display. If necessary, you can activate the child protection function.

In terms of appearance, the microwave oven looks preferable to its popular counterpart — Samsung MC28H5013AW white Price from 6 320 up to 7 999 ₴.
The microwave is designed for 28 liters: a whole chicken will fit inside. In addition, there is an option to disable the rotation of the table, which allows you to further expand the interior space and place large square-shaped dishes. Inside, the microwave oven is finished with ceramic, which is not afraid of high temperatures (up to 200 degrees), easy to clean and well protected from scratches.
A distinctive feature of the Samsung MC28H5135CK is a fairly high power, allowing it to compete with ovens in terms of cooking speed. So, if the microwave power is 900 watts, then the grill is already 1500 watts, and the convection heater is up to 2100 watts.
When the furnace is idle, ECO-mode can be activated, in which minimal energy consumption is achieved.
Samsung MC28H5135CK allows you to heat, defrost and cook a variety of dishes. The user is invited to experiment independently with microwaves, grills, convection or their various combinations and use automatic programs. In the latter case, the device sets the cooking time and power independently. The total number of such programs is 83, including 15 in the "Healthy food" mode (cereals, vegetables, fish / poultry), 65 in the "Russian cuisine" mode.

The microwave oven of the American manufacturer Whirlpool resembles classic ovens in many ways. Firstly, the door is hinged, and not opening to the side. Secondly, the useful volume of the model is 33 liters, so inside you can cook a meat stew or bake a medium-sized turkey for the arrival of guests. In addition, if a large goose coop or other large container needs to be placed inside, then the option of disabling the rotation of the glass stand is provided.
Whirlpool JT 469 assumes different work options, including microwaves, grill, convection. There are also combined modes: microwave+Convection and microwave+Grill. Microwave power adjustment involves 8 levels. So, for example, the minimum value of 90 watts is suitable for softening cheese, and the maximum (950 watts) is for quickly warming up soup.
Using the "6th Sense Menu" function, you can automate the preparation of 30 dishes, including meat, seafood, desserts, rice, pies, etc. There is also a mode of auto-defrosting and heating of products.
Included with the Whirlpool JT 469 are two wire grilles of different heights (the low one is designed for convection, and the high one is for grilling), a Crisp plate (it provides additional lower heating during grill operation, defrosting and heating) with a special removable handle.
Whirlpool JT 469 has a "6th Sense Steam" mode and is equipped with a special accessory for steaming. As a result, the microwave is able to perform the functions of a steamer and provide healthy food with a natural taste and a maximum of nutrients.
This mode is also suitable for cleaning: softening deposits on non-stick internal surfaces and removing unpleasant odours from the oven.
The microwave is quite noisy. The ventilation system is especially loud, which is still active for some time even after the device is turned off. The shortcomings include the location of the control menu on the folding door: when opening, the touch buttons are often touched. Otherwise, the Whirlpool JT 469 is one of the most interesting models on the market. It can be recommended to families with children, where it is always necessary not only to warm up quickly, but also to cook food, including the most useful — for a couple.

The microwave oven represents the Slim-Line series of the Japanese company Panasonic. With a working volume of 28 liters, the model occupies a depth of only 38 cm. Such compactness without loss of internal space (a 34-centimeter pallet is placed here) is achieved due to the upper location of the convection fan, whereas most analogues have it at the back.
Panasonic NN-CD565B supports microwave, grill and convection mode. The classic microwave mode is suitable for heating, defrosting, slow boiling, cooking simple dishes. It offers 6 power levels from 100 to 1000 watts.
The grill is designed for frying foods with a juicy crust (chicken, meat, toast). There are three power options (up to 1300 watts) and special accessories included: a metal baking tray and a grill.
Convection in Panasonic NN-CD565B will help bake small confectionery, pizza and pies, roast chicken, steaks, etc. In this mode, you can set the temperature from 100 to 220 degrees Celsius. The kit also includes a special accessory — a pizza pan (Panacrunch pan) with a removable handle. But there is no separate heating element for convection (its role is performed by a quartz grill). As a result, high-quality baking and baking, as users note, are guaranteed only with small sizes / portions of dishes.
The microwave uses inverter technology, which assumes constant operation of the magnetron, and not alternating on/off cycles.
For those who do not like the hassle in the kitchen, automatic cooking modes are suitable. A total of 25 programs are offered, including various heating and defrosting options. Also in the Panasonic NN-CD565B there is a child lock and a timer for delaying the start, which allows you to cook or warm up the products at the right time.
The durable stainless steel inner chamber is responsible for the durability of the device, and a simple push—button control with two clock switches is responsible for the ease of operation. The disadvantage of the model is weak stability. The legs at the base are not rubberized, and when opening/when closing, the device can move on the table. If this, as well as the absence of an additional heating element for convection, is not critical for you, then the compact and functional Panasonic NN—CD565B oven can become your favorite even despite the high cost.
The model is the flagship representative of LG microwave ovens. Externally, this status is emphasized by the stainless steel case and tempered glass on the door. Plus, the Korean manufacturer offers a choice of 3 body colours at once: white, black or silver.
LG NeoChef MJ-3965AIS received the most spacious working camera on the market. It holds 39 liters, which is enough to prepare dishes for a large home feast. At the same time, the overall dimensions of the device are quite comparable with other capacious microwave ovens (for example, the Samsung MC32F604TCT black ), designed for 32 liters).
The inner coating of the chamber is made of EasyClean antibacterial enamel™.
The LG NeoChef MJ-3965AIS microwave oven supports Smart Inverter technology. According to the manufacturer, it contributes to a faster and more uniform distribution of heat. Also, in addition to microwaves (with 5 power levels: 200, 400, 700, 900 and 1100 watts), two types of heaters are used in the model: quartz (for grilling) and coal (for convection). As a result, with the help of a microwave oven, you can cook pastries, bake meat and poultry, fry, dry, defrost and heat products, maintain the desired temperature, etc.
Additionally, the "Fermentation" mode is provided, which turns the device into a full-fledged yogurt maker.
And for those who are on "you" with cooking, LG NeoChef MJ-3965AIS has 32 automatic programs, including 4 for defrosting and 28 for cooking various dishes.
In addition to traditional additional functions, such as blocking from children, the microwave supports Smart Diagnostics™. So, in case of problems, representatives of the service centre in telephone mode will be able to identify the malfunction by an audible signal from the device.
LG's premium microwave oven costs a lot. But there are no other tangible disadvantages of the model, and the shortcomings can only be attributed to the loud closing of the folding door. But the large volume and wide functionality of LG NeoChef MJ-3965AIS are able to convince that it is really possible to do without an oven in the kitchen.
