Ever feel completely baffled with searching online or reading through a kitchen appliances brochure? What exactly is a panasonic nn-ct559wbpq combination microwave when it’s at home? Or a panasonic flatbed microwave? Does it actually come with a built-in bed?!

Jargon is confusing at the best of times but when you’re trying to buy a new microwave it can feel even more daunting. What you need to concentrate on is not getting too bogged down in the sales pitches but rather concentrate on what you need your microwave to do for you.

Think about what you need your microwave to do – is it just reheating and defrosting food for one? If so then it’s unlikely that you’ll be needing a large microwave ovens.

What space do you have? There are countertop microwave ovens or small microwaves that can be tucked out of the way in a cupboard.

Once you’ve narrowed that down then you can start reviewing some of the product options out there. A good place to start with that is with a consumer research company that will give you the honest and impartial low down on each product and model. You can even read honest reviews from consumers about what they thought of it.

The main thing is to know what you’re looking for and stick to that, so try not to get too swayed by those tempting ‘Special Offers’ or you could get something you don’t need and regret it.
