Microwaves

Microwaves give you fast, consistent heating for midweek meals, leftovers, veg, and defrosting without tying up the oven. You pick one for speed, compact footprint, and simple controls that suit family kitchens, rented flats, and home offices. Choose a freestanding model for flexibility, or a built-in unit to keep lines clean within a tower or wall cabinet and free up worktop space. Combination and grill variants add browning and baking, so you can finish dishes with colour and texture. With sensible programs, clear displays, and easy-clean interiors, microwaves make daily cooking quick and predictable.

Why choose a microwave

• Quick defrost, reheat, and cook options that trim midweek prep time.
• Even results with turntables or flatbed designs and multi-stage cooking.
• Compact sizes fit small kitchens; built-in models align with cabinet doors.
• Energy-conscious for small portions versus heating a full oven.

Design options, finishes, and features

• Types: solo, grill, and combi (microwave + convection) for crisping and baking.
• Capacities from ~17–25 L+; pick a turntable size that fits your plates.
• Programs: auto defrost, one-touch reheat, sensor modes, and child lock.
• Finishes: stainless, black glass, and brushed looks. Prefer a softer sheen? See our brushed Microwaves.
• Explore kitchen-matched lines from Caple for clean fascias and reliable performance.

Common use cases

• Fast breakfasts, jacket potatoes, veg steaming, and batch-cook reheat.
• Apartment kitchens where a combi unit covers baking without a second oven.
• Busy homes needing quick defrost and keep-warm functions.

Featured product

• Caple CM123BK Built-In Microwave & Grill — black glass fascia, grill function for browning, and straightforward controls for everyday use.

Compatibility tips

• Check cabinet aperture (width, height, depth) and ventilation clearances for built-in units.
• Match finishes to ovens and hobs for a joined-up look; consider trims for a flush fit.
• Pair with over-sink boards, strainer bowls, and roll-up mats to speed prep before reheating.

Measure your space, choose solo, grill, or combi by how you cook, then pick a finish that suits your appliance pack. With the right capacity and programs, Microwaves (yes, even “Microwavess” searches) keep meals fast, tidy, and consistent.
