Black Friday Microwave Deals

Black Friday Microwave Deals

Three types cover almost every kitchen, and the difference between them is what the cavity can do rather than how powerful it is. A solo microwave reheats and defrosts, which is all most households ask of one, and it is the cheapest and the simplest to keep clean. A grill microwave adds a top element that browns and crisps, so cheese melts properly and a toasted sandwich comes out looking like one. A combination microwave adds convection heat as well, which makes it a genuine second oven, useful in a small kitchen or where the main oven is often full. Capacity runs from around 17 litres up to 32 litres and beyond, and the figure to watch is turntable diameter rather than litres, since a 25cm plate will not turn in a small cavity. Wattage decides speed, with 700W to 800W typical on solo models and 900W upward on larger ones, and it is worth noting that reheating instructions on packaging assume 800W. Flatbed models with no turntable take a wider dish and are far easier to wipe out, while built in and integrated models need a specific aperture and a trim kit, so measure before ordering.

Placement decides more than people expect. A microwave needs clear air above and behind it, so a machine pushed into a tight shelf will run hot and shorten its own life, and an over the range model that also vents needs either ducting or a recirculating filter. Stainless steel wipes down best, white and black finishes hide splashes less well than they look like they should, and a child lock is worth having where the machine sits at counter height. Interior lighting and an easy clean enamel or ceramic lining both matter far more after two years than they do in the shop.

Black Friday falls on Friday 27 November 2026 and Cyber Monday on Monday 30 November, though reductions here run through the season rather than only across that weekend, so anything showing a saving is genuinely reduced today. Russell Hobbs carries the widest range at the solo and grill end, with Samsung and Bosch stronger on combination and built in models. The full year round range sits in Microwaves, everything currently reduced in Microwaves Sale, and built in ovens alongside them in Black Friday Oven Deals.
