The first choice is the type. A solo microwave reheats, defrosts and cooks, which covers what most Indian homes use one for: warming dal, sabzi, rice and milk. A grill model adds toasting and tikkas. A convection model also bakes cakes and bread, and the bigger ones add a rotisserie and Indian presets for tandoori, ghee or curd. Then size: makers suggest about 20 L for singles and small families, 23–25 L for 3–4 people and 28–32 L for 4–6. Finally, check the warranty on the magnetron (the part that makes the microwaves), which varies from 1 to 5 years.
We only list microwave ovens rated 4.0★ or higher on Amazon, with at least 100 reviews and an Amazon "bought in the past month" badge showing at least 100 a month, and we recheck them regularly. Capacity, power, programmes and warranty come from each model's own listing; where two models share one Amazon rating pool, we say so.
Our Best Overall is the Panasonic 23L convection (NN-CT353BFDG): it bakes, grills and reheats, is rated 4.4★ by 2,721 Amazon buyers, sells 1,000+ a month and costs about ₹11,000, with a 4-year magnetron warranty. If you only reheat and defrost, the Panasonic 20L solo (NN-ST26JMFDG, about ₹6,700, 4.3★ from 7,669 ratings) is our Budget Pick. For a bigger family, the IFB 30L convection with rotisserie (30BRC2) is our Best Value, and LG's 32L MC3286BRUM is our Premium Pick.
A solo microwave reheats, defrosts and cooks; in our list they cost about ₹6,000–9,000. A grill microwave adds toasting, sandwiches and tikkas (the Panasonic 20L grill is about ₹8,300) but cannot bake. A convection microwave does all of that and bakes cakes and bread; ours run from about ₹11,000 to ₹24,300. If you won't bake, a solo model is the better buy.
The makers' own guidance: about 20 L for singles, couples and small families, 23–25 L for 3–4 people, and 28–32 L for 4–6 people. Check the outer size too: the 32 L LG is 53 cm wide and 53 cm deep, while a 20 L solo is about 44–45 cm wide.
IFB puts its 24L solo at about 10.2 units a month and its 30L convection at about 11.3 units a month, both at 25 minutes of use a day. At ₹6–8 a unit, that is roughly ₹60–90 a month. Using convection or grill a lot adds more: their heaters are rated 1,200–2,400 W on the models we list.
Not in microwave or combination modes: metal and foil can spark, so use microwave-safe glass, ceramic or plastic (LG's listing warns about this too). Convection models come with metal racks or trays for grill and convection-only cooking; check your manual for which modes allow metal.
The Godrej 20L solo comes with a 5-year comprehensive warranty (on purchases from 1 April 2026, until Godrej withdraws the offer). Among magnetron warranties, Panasonic gives 5 years on its 27L convection and 4 years on its 23L convection, and IFB gives 3 years on the magnetron and cavity. Samsung covers its ceramic enamel cavity for 10 years, and LG's charcoal models get 10 years on the charcoal heater (parts). Most LG models carry only 1 year.
Preset programmes for Indian dishes. LG's convection models include Indian Cuisine and Tandoor Se menus, a roti basket mode, ghee (LG says about 12 minutes) and milk pasteurising. Samsung's 28L convection has a curd-making and dough-proofing mode. Solo models offer simpler presets for reheating rice, dal and the like.
