Dolphin 23L Solo Digital Microwave Oven ME-MW23D

Our review

This is a solo microwave, meaning it heats, defrosts and reheats but does not brown or crisp food the way a grill or convection model would. The 23L cavity sits in the middle of the home microwave range, so it takes a standard dinner plate and most casserole dishes without feeling oversized on a counter. Five power levels and eight auto cooking menus cover the usual jobs, and the 60-minute digital timer gives you finer control than a mechanical dial. The child lock is worth noting if there are young children in the house. Before buying, check your counter depth and whether you want grilling or baking later, since those need a different type of oven. Compare against other solo digitals on capacity, power levels and warranty length; Dolphin backs this one for a year. Available on Sokonia.
