Miele built-in microwave ovens and grills combine fast microwave cooking with a grill that browns and crisps, all fitted neatly into your kitchen units. Every model here comes in Obsidian Black with a stainless steel interior. They suit anyone who wants one appliance that can reheat, defrost and add a golden finish without heating up a full-size oven.

The main choice is size and style. The compact 17-litre models use Miele's SideControl layout, with the sensor controls on the side of the appliance, and an EasySensor display. These models also have a keeping-warm function to hold food at serving temperature. Some list a Quartz grill for even browning, and some list adjustable power levels up to 900 W. The larger VitroLine model has a 46-litre gross capacity, a 40.6 cm turntable that takes bigger dishes, touch controls, a drop-down door with a bar handle, and 44 automatic programmes. It also has a combination mode that runs the microwave and grill together, so food cooks through and browns in one go.

To narrow it down, start with your housing space and how much you cook at once. A compact SideControl model is fine for everyday reheating and smaller portions. The VitroLine model gives more room and more automatic programmes. If you want oven-style heat as well, compare the Miele built-in combi microwaves.
