What are the best microwaves to buy in the UK?
Our top pick for Microwaves in the UK is the Russell Hobbs RHMTAF2302B 4 in 1 Digital Combination Microwave 23 Litre 900W with Air Fryer.
The Russell Hobbs RHMTAF2302B suits kitchens that want one 23L appliance to microwave, bake, grill and air fry: the listing states 900W, 1700W convection, a 1000W grill and 17 auto-cook menus, with grill racks, an air fryer tray and a baking tray included.
The Russell Hobbs RHMTAF2302B combination microwave is our top pick because its listing states 900W microwave power, a 1700W convection oven, a 1000W grill, an air fryer function, 17 auto-cook menus and both its internal and external dimensions. For convection up to 240℃ in a 26L cavity, the Toshiba MW3-AC26SFI(BK) lists air fry, grill and combi modes; for a grill microwave, the Panasonic NN-GD37QSBPQ lists 29L, a 1000W grill heater and Combination Cooking.
This guide compares six microwaves from Russell Hobbs, Toshiba, Panasonic and COMFEE': two convection combination models, two grill models and two solo models, using what each listing states: capacity, microwave power, power levels, cooking functions, auto menus, dimensions and warranty. Stated capacities run from 20L on the Russell Hobbs RHM2076B to 29L on the Panasonic.

Our process
How do we choose our picks?
We don’t lab-test products ourselves. Instead we synthesise current Amazon UK listings and published specs into clear, honest recommendations. We earn a commission if you buy through our links, but that never changes which products we rank.
Current UK availability
We check each pick against live Amazon UK catalogue data rather than last year’s model lists. Stock moves fast, so a listing can sell out after we publish.
Published specs
We compare manufacturer specifications so each pick is right for a real budget and use-case.
UK-specific fit
We factor in UK voltage and plug/fitting standards — details that generic global lists miss.

Editor's Note
Two of the six listings state a noise figure, both Toshibas at 57dB, and child locks are named on the Russell Hobbs RHMTAF2302B and the COMFEE'. None of the six listings mentions a ceramic interior. Timer lengths are stated on the Russell Hobbs models (99 minutes on the RHMTAF2302B, 95 minutes on the RHM2076B); the Toshiba, Panasonic and COMFEE' listings give none.
Our Take
As a default, pick the Russell Hobbs RHMTAF2302B: 900W microwave power, 1700W convection, a 1000W grill and an air fryer function in 23L, with a child lock and a 1-year guarantee. For convection up to 240℃ in 26L, the Toshiba MW3-AC26SFI(BK); for a solo microwave with a 2 year manufacturer warranty, the COMFEE' CMO-E232NL(BK).
