LG 28L Convection Microwave MC2846BV, Steam Clean, ₹13,990

Want the best-selling convection microwave on Amazon India, with a steam-clean steel cavity and Indian menus? The LG 28L Convection Microwave (model MC2846BV) is #1 in Combination Convection & Microwave Ovens on amazon.in. It was ₹13,990 when we checked (MRP ₹17,299), and it ships from Amazon. It ranks #5 in our Best Microwave Ovens Under ₹15,000 list with an overall score of 7.4/10. A thin box and short warranty hold it back.

WHO IT'S FOR

Families of four to six who cook a lot of Indian dishes, want easy cleaning and trust LG's service network, and who do not mind buying a baking tray or rack separately.

WHAT A CONVECTION MICROWAVE ADDS

A solo microwave only reheats, defrosts and does simple cooking. A grill model adds a top heater for browning and crisping. A convection microwave adds a heater and a fan, so it can also bake cakes, bread and pizza and roast like a small OTG, and usually grill too. Between ₹10,000 and ₹15,000 most good options are convection models, which is why most of our list is convection. If you never bake, a good solo microwave saves you money and counter space.

CAPACITY AND TYPE

28 litres, which LG says suits 4–6 members, with a 12.59-inch turntable. It does microwave, grill and convection baking, with a concealed quartz heater. Capacity scores 8.5/10 and type 9.0/10.

POWER

The spec table lists 900 watts and the bullets list 5 microwave power levels, 1200W grill consumption and 1950W convection consumption. Fewer power levels than Midea's 11, but a clear, consistent set of figures: 7.5/10.

MENUS AND CONTROLS

The bullets list 251 auto-cook menus and recipes, including Health Plus, Tandoor Se, Indian Cuisine, Kids' Delight, Ghee/Bakery, Tea/Dairy Delight, Paneer/Curd, soups and continental dishes. LG says it can make ghee in about 12 minutes, and an Indian roti basket menu covers naan and parathas. Controls are a membrane touch keypad with keep warm, timer and a dehumidification mode that re-crisps soggy biscuits and namkeen. Menus score 9.0/10 and controls 8.0/10.

CLEANING AND SAFETY

A stainless steel cavity plus a steam clean program: LG notes that steel does not peel the way coated cavities can when the turntable rubs them. Cleaning scores 8.5/10, among the best here. Child lock and a completion beeper are listed: 7.5/10.

ACCESSORIES

This is the weak spot. The box contains only the oven, glass tray, rotating ring and manual, and the listing says "Brand does not provide starter kit". There is no grill rack or baking tray listed, so budget a few hundred rupees for one. Accessories score 3.5/10.

WARRANTY

Only 1 year on the product, with no extra magnetron cover listed, so warranty scores 4.0/10, the joint lowest in this list.

WHAT SIZE DO YOU NEED?

As a rough guide, 20–23 litres suits one to three people, while 25–30 litres fits a bigger casserole or cake tin and suits a family of four to six. Convection models are heavy (often 15–18 kg) and wide, so measure your counter and leave a few centimetres free at the back and sides for ventilation.

LISTING NOTES

It is big and heavy: 51 cm wide × 49.5 cm deep × 30.5 cm high and 18.2 kg (spec table). It is made in India. Value scores 8.0/10: strong feedback, but the price is near the top of our budget for a thin box and short warranty.

HOW IT COMPARES AT THIS PRICE

The Panasonic 27L Convection (₹12,990) costs ₹1,000 less and includes a high/low rack plus 5 years on the magnetron, but has 101 menus and no steam clean listed. The LG 21L Convection (₹12,740) is the smaller version with 151 menus and 800W.

VERDICT

The LG 28L is the easiest convection microwave to keep clean, with the best Indian menus. Buy it if steam clean, LG service and owner feedback matter most, and add a rack to your cart.
