Coming in hot and the first one on our list is the Sharp Microwave R207EK. This sleek and compact microwave oven is a top pick for many because it packs a good amount of features at a very affordable price. 

Its convection function and 255 mm turntable distribute heat evenly, making sure you’ll never eat a half-defrosted chicken. This bilingual microwave oven even has steam presets, which means you get to steam a variety of foods like fish and vegetables at a push of a button.

Another winner from Sharp, the R357EK comes with 6 preset buttons and is the perfect choice for families. The mirror glass door is highly appealing and makes for an ultra-sleek addition to the modern kitchen. 

Its 25 L capacity and 325 mm turntable mean this spacious microwave oven is more than capable of reheating larger food portions. Large families say the R357EK is definitely worth its slightly expensive price tag. Just don’t expect to do any baking or grilling as it only has a reheating function.
