Midea 28L Convection Microwave with Grill, 326 Menus, ₹10,990

Looking for a big, powerful convection microwave for well under ₹15,000? The Midea 28L Convection Microwave (model MMOP03XA-ECSEBK) combines 900W, 11 power levels, 326 auto-cook menus and a 10-year magnetron warranty. It was ₹10,990 when we checked (MRP ₹22,990), in stock and shipped by Amazon. It ranks #2 in our Best Microwave Ovens Under ₹15,000 list with an overall score of 8.1/10.

WHO IT'S FOR

Families of four to six who want baking, grilling and fast microwave cooking at a mid-budget price, and who are comfortable buying a newer listing with little owner feedback yet.

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 with a 320 mm turntable, a good size for a large family or a full cake tin. It offers microwave, grill, convection and combination modes, plus Express Fry presets. Capacity scores 8.5/10 and type 9.5/10.

POWER

900W microwave output with 11 power levels (P100 to P0), the strongest power figures in this list together with the clearest power-level control. Amazon lists 1450W power consumption. Grill and convection wattage and the temperature range are not listed. Power scores 9.0/10, the top score here.

MENUS AND CONTROLS

The title says 326 auto-cook menus and the bullets say 300+ preset recipes, covering Indian dishes, breads, desserts, global dishes, cakes, soups, curries, paneer and curd, ferment and Express Fry recipes like chicken tandoori, kebabs, baked fish, nuggets and French fries. Programs also include keep warm and melt. "Air fry" here means preset grill and convection programs, not a fryer basket. Controls are a touch panel. Menus score 9.5/10 and controls 8.0/10.

CLEANING AND SAFETY

The inner cavity is stainless steel, with a deodorizer listed but no steam-clean program, so cleaning scores 6.0/10. A child safety lock and control panel lock are listed, for 7.5/10.

ACCESSORIES

The box includes a grill rack, a microwave rack and a roller ring, so you can grill and bake straight away: 8.5/10.

WARRANTY

2 years on the whole product and 10 years on the magnetron, the longest cover in this list for the part that makes the microwaves: 9.5/10.

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

That is not enough owner feedback to judge long-term reliability or Midea's service in your city. The ₹22,990 MRP also makes the discount look bigger than it is. The listing is imported (country: China) and weighs 16.3 kg. Value scores 4.5/10 because of the thin feedback, not because of the price.

TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

Use only microwave-safe glass or ceramic in microwave mode and metal tins only in grill or convection mode on the racks. Preheat before baking. Run the grill empty for a few minutes the first time to burn off the new-appliance smell.

HOW IT COMPARES AT THIS PRICE

The Panasonic 23L Convection (₹11,450) is the safest choice near this price, but it is smaller and has 800W.

VERDICT

On paper, the Midea 28L is the best-specced convection microwave near ₹11,000. Buy it for the power, menus and warranty, but know you are taking a chance on a brand-new listing.
