Indispensable in any kitchen, the microwave is one of the most efficient appliances in any home. Normally to heat and defrost, which is why most are without grill, the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) has fully entered this field to .
The increasing competition that unites the microwave sector has caused this device to be increasingly cheaper, benefiting the pocket of consumers. An appliance with a long useful life, around 10 years, which became popular in Spain in the 90s until it had a necessary place in every home.
For this reason, an efficient purchase is necessary with which to equip the kitchen and, according to the OCU, it is not necessary to spend more than 50 euros. It is to the conclusion that the institution reaches, making it clear that the best option for daily use is that of an appliance without a grill that, therefore, only heats and defrosts.
In addition, it should be noted that these models for less than 50 euros do not have digital controls, so they represent more of the classic while giving the same efficiency as one of the most modern. A trivial feature for the OCU, since the mere fact of being digital increases its price to 80 euros.
Cecotec once again has the best option on the market
Thus, entering fully into the cheapest microwaves but with excellent performance, the institution highlights two models while. Starting with the Cecotec brand, a regular of good performance at low prices, in this sector its , with 1,385 watts of power and 700 W of output stands out.
Excellent in heating and defrosting performance, it is easy to use, quiet, energy efficient and easy to clean. On the other hand, its space is limited, limited for pre-cooked dishes, it has poor visibility through its door and it lacks functions such as child protection or a timer. Its price, between 49 and 58 euros, depending on the surface where it is purchased, gives the device a rating of 69.
Orbegozo has a simple, intuitive and one of the cheapest microwaves in any specialized establishment
After this, the OCU reviews a slightly cheaper one but also with somewhat less performance, although just as optimal in terms of simple features. With a rating of 68 out of 100, the Orbegozo has a power of 1,230 watts and 700 W of output.
Easy to use and intuitive, although the door can be complicated for people with reduced mobility, its heating quality is optimal while defrosting is worse than the previous model. In addition, it generates little noise, has very good energy efficiency and is easy to clean.
Two easy options to equip any house with moderate consumption, which will also not greatly affect the electricity bill. According to the calculations of the OCU, ten minutes of daily use are equivalent to less than 2 euros per month to confirm this commitment to cheapness and simplicity, in order to enjoy the best heated and defrosted food on the market.
