Godrej 20L Solo Microwave, 5-Year Warranty, ₹5,990

Want the longest warranty of any microwave under ₹10,000? The Godrej 20L Solo Microwave (model GMX 20SA2 BLM) comes with a 5-year free comprehensive warranty and costs only ₹5,990 (MRP ₹8,800). It had 4.3★ from 325 ratings and 200+ bought in the past month when we checked, and it ships from Amazon. It ranks #10 in our Best Microwave Ovens Under ₹10,000 list with an overall score of 6.2/10: a simple, cheap microwave with excellent cover.

WHO IT'S FOR

Hostels, rented homes, older parents and anyone who wants simple reheat and defrost with dial controls and no fear of repair bills.

SOLO, GRILL OR CONVECTION?

A solo microwave only uses microwaves: it reheats, defrosts, boils milk, makes tea and cooks simple dishes like dal, khichdi, poha and steamed vegetables. A grill microwave adds a heating element at the top, so it can also brown and crisp food such as paneer tikka, kebabs, toast and pizza. A convection microwave adds a fan and heater as well, so it can bake cakes and bread and roast like a small OTG. Under ₹10,000 most good options are solo, a few are grill, and convection models are rare. Buy for what you will really cook, not for the longest feature list.

CAPACITY

20 litres. Outside it is 44 cm wide, 32.8 cm deep and 25.8 cm high, and it weighs 9.8 kg, the lightest real figure here. Capacity scores 6.0/10; type scores 5.0/10 (solo).

POWER

700W output with 5 power levels and a Jet Defrost option. Godrej's multi-distribution system is meant to spread heat more evenly. 700W is at the low end of this list, so cooking takes a little longer. Power scores 5.5/10.

AUTO-COOK MENUS AND CONTROLS

There are no auto-cook menus: the listing's "programs" are just defrost and the 5 power levels. Controls are a jog dial. That is easy for anyone to use, but you set every time yourself. Menus score 2.0/10 and controls 6.5/10.

CLEANING

A powder-coated cavity with a pull-handle door. No steam clean. Cleaning scores 6.5/10.

SAFETY

Child lock and a power-saving feature are listed. Safety scores 7.0/10.

ACCESSORIES

In the box: a toughened-glass turntable, roller ring, and manual with warranty card. Accessories score 5.0/10.

WARRANTY

This is the reason to buy it: 5 years free comprehensive warranty, on purchases from 1 April 2026 "until withdrawn at the sole discretion of the Company". That is five times the cover of the Panasonic and LG models. Keep your invoice and check the offer is still running on the day you buy. Warranty scores 10.0/10, the top score here.

LISTING NOTES

Made in China for Godrej & Boyce, sold by Dawntech Electronics and shipped by Amazon; delivery was showing Monday, 2 November. 325 ratings is a moderate number. Godrej's 25L sibling (GMX 725) was not picked: it showed "Only 1 left", and its bullets (20L, 700W) contradict its spec table (25L, 1250W).

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

Learn a few standard timings, such as 1 minute for a cup of milk at high power, and stick a small note on the door. Use the lower power levels for defrosting and reheating rice to stop dry edges.
