Best Combination Microwave 2024 UK: Panasonic, Samsung, Smeg and more

Best Combination Microwaves 2024 UK- Panasonic, Samsung, Smeg and more brands tried and tested

1. Most versatile combination microwave. Sage The Combi Wave 3 in 1 Smart Oven Air Fryer Countertop Oven

This is the only model on the list that combines a microwave and air fryer – yes, you read that right – not to mention a grill and convection oven. So while it’s the most expensive, this microwave really is the Swiss army knife of kitchen gadgets. It’s also the most powerful on the list with 900-1,100W of power and a perfectly acceptable 25l capacity.

The microwave comes with some recipe ideas, and a digital read-out and manual dials and buttons make it look the part too. This model doesn’t sacrifice style for substance though and has chocolate-melting and butter-melting programmes as well as a “bit more” button, which is sometimes what every microwave user needs.

2. Best for ease of use. Russell Hobbs Digital Combination Microwave

The Russell Hobbs Scandi Digital Microwave stands out among its affordable peer group due to the addition of a couple of simple auto-cook programmes that calculate the cooking time according to the food’s weight. It’s also not as small as a 17-litre capacity may lead you to believe. However, with a 245mm turntable, it doesn’t fit larger dinner plates.

While the combination of shiny glass, plastic and metal with walnut-imitation wood is a very particular look, likely to have a Marmite effect, the Scandi Digital is available in black, grey, and white to suit different colour schemes.

Its auto-cook menu has eight programmes, for reheating food and microwaving popcorn, beverages, pizza, sliced potatoes, vegetables, meat, and fish. Using the reheat programme, cold, cooked rice came out evenly heated. And a raw jacket potato had a decent texture after just 8mins of microwaving.

3. The best combi oven. Panasonic DS59 Speed Convection Oven, Grill, Flatbed, 27 Litre, Two Level Cooking, Genius Sensor, 32 Auto Programmes, Easy Clean, 1000W Combination Microwave Oven

4. Swan SM22036LGRYN Nordic LED Digital Microwave.
