Caple's built-in combi microwaves come from its Sense collection and are built to one specification: a 40-litre stainless steel cavity, 1000 W of microwave power and 10 functions. What changes is the finish. A combination microwave adds oven-style heat to microwave energy, so as well as reheating and defrosting it can brown and crisp food. That makes it a good fit where there's no room for a second oven, or as a partner to a main oven in a tall housing.
These models have no turntable. Instead there's a flat floor with a removable glass base, so large or rectangular dishes fit without catching on the sides, and the base can go in the dishwasher. A chrome shelf rack with three positions lets you cook at different heights. Eight auto cooking programmes and auto defrost work out the settings for common foods. You'll also get full touch controls, a white LED display, a programmable electronic timer and a clock. There's a child safety lock, and the double-glazed door comes off for cleaning, which helps because there's no self-cleaning system.
With the features the same across the board, your choice comes down to how the microwave will look next to your oven and cabinet handles. You can have black glass with a black handle, gunmetal and black glass with a black square bar handle, or stainless steel and black glass with a stainless steel square bar handle.
