It goes without saying the humble microwave can make your life much easier, with many models doing a whole lot more than simply warming up leftovers. With rising household costs, research has found a microwave is a more efficient way to cook, with the average model costing far less per day to run when compared with an electric oven – potentially saving you hundreds of pounds per year, thanks to a simple switch-up in kitchen appliances.
The good news is there are many different types of microwaves, meaning you’re sure to find one that suits your needs. There are solo models, which are basic microwaves that heat and defrost. Then there are grill versions, which combine normal microwave cooking with a grilling element. Finally, you can opt for a combi, which does everything the other two machines can do but can also roast, crisp and brown like a conventional oven.
If you’re unsure which model is best for you, we’d recommend reading our tried-and-tested reviews of the best microwaves, which demystify the entire buying process and answer all your questions.
But if you’re looking to make it a less costly purchase, you’ve come to the right place. With a constant eye out for a good deal, we’ve rounded up the best discounts on leading microwaves.
Read on for how you can save money on your next microwave and prepare to whip up meals in minutes with one of these top models.
