“Speed and smarts now go hand in hand as more microwaves serve as second ovens,” says Consumer Reports. “Many have sensors that automate cooking for more than just popcorn. More also include convection and even slow cooking for homeowners who want added cooking capability without having to add a wall oven or replace a range with a double-oven model.”
Here is the Consumer Reports’ selection of recommended microwave ovens. The maximum overall score is 100, and “Best Buy” models offer more value.
Countertop microwave ovens
Midsized countertop microwaves
Large countertop microwaves
Over-the-range microwave ovens
Consumer Reports is an American magazine published monthly since 1936. It features reviews and comparisons of consumer products and services based on reporting and results from its in-house testing laboratory and survey research centre. The magazine accepts no advertising, pays for all the products it tests, and, as a not-for-profit organisation, has no shareholders. It also publishes cleaning and general buying guides. (Wikipedia.)
