Bag yourself a bargain with this range of Cyber Monday microwave deals for Black Friday and Cyber Monday this year.

A microwave is a great choice if you're looking for an energy-efficient way to cook, reheat and defrost food. Microwaves are much cheaper to run than ovens; "For example, to use a 700W microwave for 20 minutes will cost around 6.5p, but using an oven for the same amount of time will cost about 20p, according to the Citizens Advice Bureau calculator," says Money Editor, Sarah Handley.

If you're on a tight budget a solo microwave is the best option for you as often solo machines tend not to cost too much and depending on the brand and model you choose are durable and long-lasting. Of course, if you want to really make the most out of your microwave and budget is not an issue - a grill or combi microwave is the next stage giving your more energy-efficient options in the long run.

And it's not just microwaves discounted for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we have a range of Cyber Monday coffee machine deals up for grabs as well as Cyber Monday air fryer deals too.

What type of microwave is right for you?

Before choosing to buy a microwave, it's best that you do a bit of research about which type of microwave you'd like to opt for and what the purpose of the microwave will be. 

You also need to keep in mind the size of the microwave you're looking for - whether it will fit on your kitchen countertop comfortably or it will slot into your built-in kitchen unit without struggle. 

Here are the microwave types you can choose from:

  1. Solo microwaves - Standard, freestanding 'solo' microwaves are the type you are probably most familiar with. They are simple to use with often a handful of functions specifically reheating, defrosting, and cooking. In the middle of a solo microwave is a rotating plate that rotates when warming food through to ensure no cold spots and everything is thoroughly heated. Solo microwaves are much cheaper than grill or combi microwaves. 
  2. Grill microwaves - Similar to solo microwaves, often freestanding and coming in a variety of different shapes, sizes, and colours, grill microwaves often have a rotating plate, functions to cook, defrost and reheat, plus an added bonus of a grill rack at the roof of the microwave unit to crisp, or brown foods and meals.
  3. Combination microwaves - Combination microwaves are borderline ovens. They can do all the functions of a regular microwave, often grilling too as well as roasting, baking, steaming (depending on the model you opt for), and so on. They are often quicker and more powerful than solo microwaves. And of course, because of all these added functions, they are much more expensive.
  4. Built-in microwaves - If you've recently had a new kitchen fitted, you can often opt for a microwave to be built into your kitchen units (like some ovens can too) Depending on the brand and model you choose, built-in microwaves can vary from standard, solo microwave-style functions such as defrosting or they can be more high-tech with grill, baking, wifi connection and so on. Much pricer than solo, grill, and combi microwaves and you will need to know that the model you are choosing will fit into your kitchen.

Top tips for buying a microwave on Cyber Monday

Before you start bagging yourself a Black Friday bargain we'd recommend that you do some research into which type of microwave you'd like to buy. You need to consider what you're going to use the microwave for as well as how big or small you need it to be. 

Research

"It may sound like a boring conversation to start with friends or family but if you're looking to buy a new microwave - whether that's upgrading your old or joining the microwave club as a new member, ask around," says Food Editor, Jessica Dady. "Ask others which brand of machine they have, how long have they had it for, and so on. The main thing to keep in mind when buying a microwave is that you want it to last, be worth the money and do the job efficiently."

Reading online reviews of the model you're looking at is also a great idea then you can get a variety of opinions on the machine you choose before clicking the 'add to basket' button.

Measure

"It may sound like an obvious one but before you fully commit to a freestanding microwave in your kitchen, will it fit on your kitchen counter? Or if you're choosing a built-in type, will it fit in your kitchen unit? Measure, measure, and measure. Once you've got exact figures regarding the space you're working within the kitchen then you can look at microwaves that will fit in that slot," says Food Editor, Jessica Dady.

You will need to make sure that wherever you place your microwave it has ventilation, particularly around the sides of the machine, so don't cosy it up against surfaces that will be damaged by heat or can cause a fire hazard. Keep in mind the extra space you need around the microwave too. For example, you need to allow extra space for the door to open fully, and you will need to position the microwave near a plug socket.

Shop around

If you're keen on a Samsung microwave, a Russell Hobbs model, or a Panasonic combi microwave, shop around. Look on a variety of different websites and compare prices with a variety of different retailers to get the best deal. Even having a browse in-store is a great shout if you've got time and don't mind the hustle and bustle of Black Friday sales.
