Short answer

The IFB 28 L Air Fry Convection Microwave is our top pick: it has an air fry mode and the longest menu list, with 300 programmes. IFB lists the same warranty on every microwave below, so the choice here is about type and size. Two of the five are convection models, one with a rotisserie and one with air fry. The other three are solo ovens.

The IFB 30L Convection Microwave Oven (opens in a new tab) is the largest and adds a rotisserie. The IFB 20 Litre Solo Microwave Oven 20PM-MEC2 (opens in a new tab) is the smallest of the five. IFB gives a 1-year warranty on the product. It also gives 3 years on the magnetron and cavity and 6 years of spare parts support.

How to choose

Begin with the type. IFB makes solo, convection and air fry models. Solo ovens reheat and defrost. The convection models bake and roast. See our best solo microwave oven and best convection microwave oven pages for rival brands.

Then pick the size. IFB lists 20, 24, 25, 28 and 30 litres here. Larger ovens suit bigger dishes. Smaller ones fit tight counters.

Compare the menu count. The air fry model lists 300. The 24-litre solo lists 69. The 25-litre solo lists 61. The other two do not state a count.

Think about the convenience features. IFB says multi-stage cooking switches between the modes you set, on the 24 and 25 litre solos, and that auto reheat on the 24 litre needs only the weight of the food. Weight defrost (25 litre) and auto defrost (20 litre) set the time and power level for you. Keep warm and the two glass tube heaters are listed on both convection ovens. IFB also says the enamel cavity of the 20 litre solo is easy to clean.

Look at power as well. Four of the five list 900 W of output. The smallest lists 800 W. Power consumption runs from 1250 W to 1450 W.

Then think about temperature settings. The 30-litre convection oven offers 10 settings from 110 to 200. The air fry model offers 10 settings from 150 to 240. The solo ovens list no temperature settings.

Warranty is the same across the range. IFB gives 3 years on the magnetron and cavity. That uniform warranty makes comparing easier, though you should still read the terms.

Verdict

The IFB 28 L Air Fry Convection Microwave suits cooks who want air frying and a long menu list. The IFB 30L Convection Microwave Oven suits cooks who want a rotisserie and a roomy cavity.

For solo needs, the IFB 24L Solo Microwave Oven lists the most menus and power levels among the solo ovens. The IFB 25L Solo Microwave Oven is the larger solo option. The 20PM-MEC2 suits small spaces. In every case, match the oven to the way you cook before you weigh the menu count, because a long list matters only if you use it.
