Hisense H37MOBS5X 37L Solo Digital Microwave, 1000W

Our review

This is a solo microwave, meaning it heats and defrosts but does not grill or bake, so it suits anyone who mainly reheats leftovers, warms drinks, cooks porridge or rice, and defrosts meat before cooking. The 37L cavity is generous for a household, and 1000W output plus ten power levels gives you finer control than a basic two-dial model. The membrane digital panel, green LED display, six auto cooking menus, 95-minute timer and end signal cover everyday tasks without much guesswork. Before buying, check the external dimensions against your counter or shelf, since a 37L body takes up real space, and confirm the power rating suits your socket. Compare it with grill or convection microwaves only if you actually want browning or baking; otherwise a solo unit like this keeps things simple. Also weigh up smaller-capacity solo models if you cook for one or two people, and note that no wattage-based cooking chart is included in the listing, so you may want to adjust times from your usual settings.
