Microwave Buyers Guide

Despite being one of your smaller appliances, Microwaves will definitely be one of your most used appliances. This applies to every kitchen, as their convenience can’t be understated. As they perform the role of providing simple, quick dinners to millions across the UK.

So with how much these appliances are used and their potential within a kitchen, the purchase needs to be exact. Which is why there are many different nuances to consider, especially with the newer models.

Paul Davies Kitchens & Appliances are always available to help our customers when it comes to buying our products. This is so our customers have the knowledge to have the most calculated decision on your new microwaves.

 

Different types of modern Microwaves

With all the innovation in the kitchen design industry over the past few decades, Microwaves have certainly improved. Your traditional Microwave is known as a solo Microwave, purely for basic cooking/ heating functions. However, some models may come with defrost features and the standard timer of course.

Some Microwaves even come with a grill, combining two useful appliances into one! Yet it is the combi Microwave which really shines, being a grill, microwave and convection oven. With the hot air being used for the oven being used for the most accurate microwave results.

To add another function, Steam Microwaves allow you to steam your food to keep the vitamins in. Lastly, Integrated Microwaves can be any of the microwaves above but built-in. This will certainly save you space and may just be a more convenient way of microwaving.

 

Freestanding vs Integrated

Most kitchen appliances are available in freestanding and integrated; however, microwaves were one of the first to be integrated. This is due to how little space they will take up, especially when built into cabinets. So, for many shoppers this is the first design choice to consider even before the type of microwave.

Traditionally, Microwaves always had their place on the countertop and still very much do in many kitchens. Freestanding means you can relocate your microwave at any point, whilst also dodging installation costs. For a minimalistic kitchen this will certainly be your microwave, and there will be one to fit your exact vision.

Integrated Microwaves, despite being pricier, are so much better on the eyes than a bulky appliance. This can be seamlessly being built into your cupboard and in some cases even be pulled out. Above all, this installation needs to be done by one of Paul Davies Kitchens’ professionals.
