Miele Microwave Ovens

How big of a microwave do you need? For example, if it is to fit onto a particular surface, it is important to measure the outside dimensions of the microwave. If you want to be able to microwave a certain type of plate or bowl, the inside measurement plays a greater role.

In a single household, or if you don't need to microwave larger volumes, a model of 15–20 litres is sufficient, while a larger microwave can be useful if, for example, you want to defrost larger quantities of food at the same time.

Another important thing to consider is whether you are looking for a freestanding microwave, or whether you want a model that you can integrate into your kitchen interior. The advantage of a built-in microwave is that it does not take up any space on the kitchen’s worktop, but instead sits in a cupboard. However, there must of course be enough space in the shelving system for a microwave to fit.

The advantage of a stand-alone microwave is that, if the microwave needs to be replaced, it’s much easier to do so than if you have a built-in model. If it's built-in, you have to make sure that the new microwave has exactly the same dimensions as the old one.
