How do I decide between a Combination Microwave, a Microwave & Grill, and a plain Microwave?

A plain Microwave is best if you mainly want reheating and simple cooking; you'll find many models here at 700–900W and 17–26 litres capacity. A Microwave & Grill adds a grill element so you can brown food and crisp toasties without a separate oven; these commonly appear at 800–900W and suit small families. A Combination Microwave (often 900–1000W and larger cavities up to 44–53 litres) doubles as a compact oven, letting you bake and roast as well as microwave — ideal if you want one appliance to replace or supplement a conventional oven. For example, a 900W combination model from Bosch or Hotpoint can roast a tray of vegetables and reheat plates, whereas a 700W mini Prima is better for single‑person kitchens.

What dimensions should I check to make sure a built-in microwave will fit my kitchen unit?

Measure the internal niche width, height and depth and compare them to the model's listed dimensions — many built‑in microwaves here have standard widths around 594–596 mm to fit a 60 cm housing. Heights vary a lot (typical options include c. 382 mm or 455 mm) so check which sits neatly under your wall unit or in a tall housing. Also allow a few centimetres of rear clearance for ventilation; deeper cavities (some models show depths from 316 mm up to 570 mm) need to be accommodated. If space is tight, choose a compact model (for example the Neff compact range) or a slim 382 mm high unit.

How much microwave power do you need and how does it affect cooking?

Higher wattage (900–1000W) cooks and reheats faster and more evenly, which is useful for family meals or combination cooking; many Bosch, Neff and Electrolux models offer 900–1000W. Lower power (700–800W) is fine for basic reheating and defrosting and is common in compact or budget models like Prima. If you plan to grill or use the combi oven functions, wattage plus grill/oven settings matter more than microwave power alone, because the grill provides the browning that microwaves cannot. For example, a 1000W Electrolux combination model will roast quicker and brown better than a 700W mini microwave.

Which finish should you choose - stainless steel, black, or graphite grey?

Stainless steel gives a timeless, easy‑clean look and matches most other kitchen appliances, so it's a safe choice if you want cohesion; many models from Bosch, Candy and Electrolux come in stainless. Black and graphite finishes create a sleeker, more contemporary aesthetic but can show fingerprints, so they suit modern kitchens where you're happy to wipe surfaces regularly. Black & stainless combinations offer a middle ground: the visual contrast of black with steel trim looks sophisticated while keeping practical stainless areas where you touch most. Think about your existing oven and hob finishes and match to keep a unified kitchen look.

How do I decide on cavity capacity and turntable size for my family's needs?

Cavity capacities here range from compact 17 litres up to larger 53 litres; 17–21 litres suit singles or small kitchens, 25–36 litres work well for couples and small families, and 40–53 litres are best if you want to cook full oven‑size dishes in a combination model. Check the turntable diameter too — common sizes listed include 245–360 mm; a larger turntable (around 315–360 mm) will accommodate bigger plates and a casserole dish. Note some models show turntable N/A, which usually means a flatbed cavity that gives more usable space and easier cleaning, useful if you want to heat awkwardly shaped dishes.
