Enjoy delicious food in a flash with AO’s microwave range

Whether you’re reheating last night’s takeaway or Sunday’s meal prep, our huge range of microwaves will have you tucking into tasty food in no time. With top brands like Bosch and Panasonic, we have plenty of options to suit any budget. 

We have combination microwaves (also known as convection) which are packed full of technology. They’ll easily handle any standard microwaving task, but because they also circulate air and heat you can bake brownies, cakes, and bread. Love a bit of bacon? You’ll love our range of microwaves with a grill. These models won’t just defrost and reheat, but they’re excellent at sorting meats – you can even prep kebabs and tandoori chicken. Don’t worry if bells and whistles aren’t your thing, we still have plenty of standard microwaves that’re perfect for popcorn, soup, and even that coffee you forgot to drink. 

There’re even more features to get excited about. For example, many brands such as Samsung and Sharp have Auto Cook which sets the timer for you, taking the guesswork out of cooking. Plus, with lockable control panels, you don’t have to worry about little fingers changing any settings by mistake. 

You can pick from microwaves with different wattages, they’ll typically be between 700W and 1100. The higher the wattage, the faster your food cooks – it’s as simple as that. There’s a variety of sizes as well, from 15 litres to 32 and above. If you’ve got a larger family and enjoy complex cooking, then bigger could be better. But, if you’re just making a ready meal for one, then a smaller capacity is perfect. 

A final thing to consider is the fit. We have freestanding models that can sit anywhere on your countertop. They’re also super easy to move if you decide to rejig your kitchen. Alternatively, built-in microwaves are ideal for homes with fitted kitchens as they blend in seamlessly for a sleek finish.
