How to Buy the Perfect Microwave Oven for Your Modular Kitchen?

Microwave ovens have become an indispensable part of our kitchens, and if you’re about to construct a modular kitchen for your home, then you need to dedicate an open unit just for this appliance. Buying the right microwave oven for your modular kitchen can be a little tricky, however, once you start understanding its intended usage and basic features, then it will be much easier to pick the right appliance.

How to Pick the Right Microwave Oven?

Whether you’re about to buy a microwave oven online, or are planning to get one from a store, you need to be aware of the following features:

1) Capacity: The capacity of a microwave oven indicates its size. As is the case with most kitchen appliances, the ability of the appliance to accommodate the right amount of food is one of the most important factors to consider. For instance, a microwave oven with a 32-L capacity is one that is suited for small-to-medium families (4-6 members). On the other hand, industrial sized microwave ovens, like the kinds you find in many modular kitchens, can have double the capacity (around 66-L) and have dimensions like 95 mm x 594 mm x 548 mm. These microwave ovens are ideal not only for large families, but also for people who cook a lot. They can be suitable for baking and grilling large amounts of food. So, if you happen to invite guests over regularly, then you should consider getting such appliances for your modular kitchen.

2) Features: Features can make or break your entire experience. Imagine getting an industrial-sized microwave oven with no great features, versus getting a smaller 32-L microwave oven that’s packed with features. Which would be more beneficial? Exactly. Modern microwave ovens come with a host of features that you need to evaluate before buying. These appliances have been designed to minimise manual labor in the kitchen, and you must judge it based on its ability to deliver on this promise. Does it merely heat food or does it have multiple settings that help with cooking? Does it have any specific features for Indian cooking (such as a rotisserie feature for tandoori items)? Does it have automatic timers or settings that let you enjoy a hands-free experience? Check out everything the appliance has to offer before finalizing one!

3) Warranty: Larger ovens can be on the expensive side, so it is important to check whether the product comes with a warranty, and whether that warranty seems worth your while. When you’re checking this, do make sure to also check whether the chosen brand has good after-sales service. There’s no point in buying the best possible item only to be saddled with unfixable problems with the appliance later!

Should You Pick a Microwave Oven Before Building a Modular Kitchen?

Well, this depends on where you’re getting your modular kitchen from, and whether you’re going in for any customizations. Most modular kitchens have units that can fit standard size appliances, and you only need to speak to the seller to confirm your needs. On the other hand, if you’re getting a customised modular kitchen built (check out our guide on choosing the right modular kitchen), then you need to share the dimensions of all your appliances with the team so that they can create units that are perfect for your needs!
