People! Help with the choice, tell me! You need a purely microwave oven (without any grills, convection, etc.) to heat food
So that a plate with soup intermeddle, a compact look and more power! Approximately 1000W.

My LG, the most common one, has been serving for 12 years. Now I take her to the dacha and want to buy a new one home.
Liked LG 8087-ARC with convection. If someone has, please share your impression

I came across a decent article on the Internet about choosing a microwave. Perhaps you need to place it here ...

How to choose a microwave oven?

Modern life sets us a frantic pace. Microwaves save time on cooking. In addition, they are able to defrost food while preserving their nutrients and cellular structure.

In essence, they are a device for heat treatment of food, which is based on the principle of exposure to ultra-high frequency (microwave) waves. Microwaves do not heat the food itself, but the moisture present in it, forcing the water molecules to vibrate very quickly and at the same time release a large amount of energy. Products are simply boiled from the inside.

The question: “how to choose a microwave oven?” Is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. Below we will tell you about what you should pay attention to before finally making your choice. It:

furnace chamber volume;
interior decoration material;
intended purpose and additional equipment;
control;
utensils and accessories.

Furnace chamber volume. The volume determines the amount of food that can be defrosted or cooked in the microwave at one time. The most common volumes are in the range from 16 to 41 liters.

In order to prepare food for two people, a volume of 19 liters will be enough. For three or four people, a 23-liter chamber is enough. For cooking for five to six people, you should choose an oven with a chamber volume of 38 or 41 liters. A large pie or, say, a turkey can easily fit in such a microwave oven.

Interior decoration material. Typically, there are three types of interior coating: enamel, stainless steel, and ceramic.

Enamel is until recently the most commonly used coating. It has rather high wear resistance characteristics and is well cleaned.
Stainless steel - has a very aesthetic appearance and withstands high temperatures. However, caring for such a coating requires a lot of effort.
Ceramic - has very good wear resistance, it is difficult to scratch. Thanks to its extremely smooth coating, it is very easy to clean from all types of dirt. It is worth paying attention to the fact that this coating is afraid of sudden temperature changes.

Purpose and additional equipment. The set of additional functions will depend on the purpose for which you are going to use the microwave oven. For example, if you buy it as additional kitchen equipment for the oven, one microwave mode is enough. With its help, you can always warm up food and defrost the necessary food. If you intend to cook complete meals, you should pay attention to the presence of grill and convection in the microwave oven. The installed grill is of two types: tenon and quartz.

A tenovy grill, is a filament spiral, this type of grill is cheaper than a quartz one. It can be located both at the top and on the sides. Allows you to cook various foods according to the toasting principle. Has increased energy consumption, and is rather inconvenient to clean.
A quartz grill is a coiled chromium-nickel alloy wire sealed in a quartz tube. Always located at the top of the oven. It is easy to clean and takes up very little space. In addition, it reaches operating temperature (heats up) much faster and has a lower level of energy consumption.

The presence of convection in a microwave oven allows it to functionally bring it closer to the oven, although models that have this function are more expensive. The principle of operation consists in the forced blowing of the working space of the furnace with hot air. Convection allows you to cook not only meat, poultry and fish, but also bake pies and cakes. The circulation of the air ensures a deeper bake inside. The convection mode in combination with the microwave mode provides fast food preparation while preserving vitamins and useful microelements.

Control. After you decide on the availability of the required functions, you need to pay attention to the control system. There are several main types, these are: mechanical, push-button and touch control.

Mechanical is control with one or two control knobs. As a rule, there are two such regulators - one regulates the power, the second sets the time. This is the most reliable adjustment option. It should be noted that this type of control is less and less common.
Pushbutton - control based on programmed functions assigned to certain buttons. There are options for the combined type of mechanical and push-button.
Touch - At its core, it is touch control with advanced features. Most modern microwave ovens are equipped with just such control panels. Recently, touchpads have begun to appear with an interface built on the basis of a dialogue with the user. This control allows you to enter the necessary tasks on an intuitive level.

Dishes and utensils. Cookware used in the microwave oven is divided into two types - refractory and heat-resistant. Both can withstand prolonged exposure to high temperatures, the first up to 300 ° C, the second up to 140 ° C. Refractory cookware is suitable for use with a working convector and a grill, and can also be used for cooking on the stove.

As a rule, dishes made of glass, porcelain, earthenware and so on are used. The main requirement is that it does not contain metal inclusions and metal-containing enamels. This is due to the fact that small electrical discharges will appear on the metal surfaces of the cookware, which will not add to the "health" of your microwave.

Microwaves are equipped with a variety of accessories, which are also worth paying attention to. It can be a variety of grills that allow you to heat several plates of food at the same time. If the oven is equipped with a grill, then the set may also include special grids at different levels, providing different degrees of roasting. Now there are even devices for boiling eggs, which until recently seemed impossible.

Taking into account all of the above functions and capabilities, you can purchase a worthy representative of kitchen appliances. With the right choice of a microwave oven, it can replace a classic oven, and at the same time save you time and money.

Good day. Can someone tell me what this sign means second from the top?

I think the second icon means the top ten + convection is on (fan icon), I have the same icons in Mohr's oven.
your icons:
top ten
upper heating element + convection
Upper heating element + lower heating element
upper heating element + convection + lower heating element.

Creamy, I forgot to write that there is also a grill. Rather, she did not know, her husband suggested.So maybe the top badge is a grill? completely confused. This is from our neighbors. There are no instructions, so I'm trying by typing.

Something my Bork after 10 years of work began to be depressed, it was repaired several times, but it’s probably time to change.

Girls, everyone is good!
I am looking for a second-hand microwave for a student in a hostel, please tell me what is safe to watch? As I understand it, Panasonic, Samsung, and what else? Desirable at a low price, because it is bought not by a pool, but by oneself ...
A new Gorenje MO17E1W has been ordered and is on its way for 2.5 thousand, but I read something about the reviews - for such a microwave, the neighbors might get worn out ...

for such a microwave and the neighbors can get over the sides
Immediately, the neurons spun and gave out options:
  • Because it irradiates.
  • Because it's loud.
  • Because it smokes and stinks when cooking.
  • Because it takes up a lot of space.


Svetlanawhich option is correct?

Chef - Option 2, loud (
Sooo rumbling Gorene, that when you open-close, that when you stop the call is tin! So, even when working, she turns on-switches something inside her with such a hum, watched the video, now she overwhelmed her! I had to read the reviews first, I was tempted by the price ...
It's just that sometimes you have to get up at 6, the neighbors from adjacent rooms will definitely not approve! And sometimes he comes back from work at 11, trying to earn money.
