Yahoo News Best microwave deals for October 2022: Save money on a powerful new solo, grill or combination appliance
You don’t need us to tell you the humble microwave makes your life a whole lot easier, with many models doing a lot more than warming up leftovers. In the face of the energy price cap, research has found that a microwave is a more efficient way to cook, with the average model costing far less per day to run when compared with an electric oven – potentially saving you hundreds of pounds per year.
The good news is there are many different types of microwaves. There are solo models, which are basic microwaves that heat and defrost. Then there are grill versions, which combine normal microwave cooking with a, well, grilling element. And finally, a combi, which does everything the other two machines can do, but can also roast, crisp and brown like a conventional oven.
If you’re unsure which model is best for you, we’d recommend reading our tried-and-tested reviews of the best microwaves, which demystify the entire buying process and answer all your questions.
But if you’re looking to make it a less costly purchase, you’ve come to the right place. With a constant eye out for a good deal (including sales on everything from TVs, fridge freezers and mattresses to laptops, iPads and AirPods), we’ve rounded up the best discounts on leading microwaves.
Read on for how you can save money on your next microwave and prepare to whip up meals in minutes with one of these top models.
