Thanks for not shouting like most reviewers on here😏

What a marvellous video. I am a complete novice and this is exactly the sort of basic advice I was looking for but could not find on an ordinary Google search. I can now look at the possibilities with a much better informed eye. Thank you very much indeed!

Very steady performance. Well done for educating us so diligently.

I'm really only subscribed to this channel because I find these videos very interesting and calming

This is one of the best unintentional ASMR I've ever found

Thank you very informative. My sister gifted my parents a Goldstar microwave that lasted more than 32 years. Yesterday it gave a weird sound and burning smell indicating its time for a replacement.

Your calming voice blew me away. Wish all my electronics salesmen were well informed wrapped in a soothing voice. Wouldn't hurt the sales at all. Great video :) Off to buy my microwave

Just wanted size comparison to get a smaller microwave to warm my milk - now I’m seriously considering a bigger combo one 😆- good job, wish stores had good products in different price ranges with knowledgeable sales people 👍

I totally forgot to buy a microwave 🤣
so here I am again for your great advice!

One thing I find shocking is how difficult built-in microwaves or micro/oven combi are to operate. My old 1990's microwave had a big dial/button. You press the button anytime and it starts! Modern microwave/combi monstrosities are 8 (not kidding!) actions before it turns on. Are there any built-in microwaves that have a "GO!" button? Siemens: no. Miele: no. Neff: no. (I think)

After having a Panasonic inverter microwave for years in my single years back in blighty; and loving it to bits; my husband bought one. However the one he bought here didnt have a carousel and was just awful. Typical non carousel microwave issues: Frozen on one end and burnt on the other.
We replaced it with a cheap homebrand from aussie target, called concerto; that had a carousel, and it has served us far better than the pricier panasonic flat bottom.
So that is one big bit of advice that should never be skipped. Never ever buy a microwave that doesn't rotate directly in some way. If you splurge, still consider that.

Great, but you didn't mention the inverter technology.

I had a 1980s hunk-o-heat in my student box back when I was in uni (2010-2017). It was so huge it hogged half the space in my already tiny kitchen. I dumped it to the corridor. It was gone in sixty seconds.

Very helpful, thanks. Noise levels and mute options would be interesting to know too.

Thank you, handsome microwave guy :) This was very informative!

[michaelmcist]

Great video. Although one thing to take in to account is the length of the power cord, most of these are way too short.

[marysue]

Thank you so much, I've never been more excited to buy a microwave!

[actone]

Thanks for the advice! This helped me buy a microwave!

Thanks for the info. I have used all 3. The one with the grill was difficult to clean inside at the top. Still have the flatbed which is good but haven’t enough room in my kitchen as they need 30 cm headspace. Never bothered with any other feature on the combination. I have gone back to the basic, often par cook jacket potatoes and finish off in the Hallogen. Steam Rice and veggies, defrost and reheat dinners. However, very interesting advice.
