Short answer

The top pick for baking is the IFB 28 L Air Fry Convection Microwave (opens in a new tab), because its convection settings reach higher than the other three ovens. It offers 10 settings between 150 and 240. The maker also lists a 2100 W convection rating and a long auto-cook menu.

The IFB 30L Convection Microwave Oven (opens in a new tab) has the highest convection rating of the group. Its temperature settings stop at a lower ceiling, though. The Godrej 25 L Convection Microwave Oven (opens in a new tab) gives no temperature range in the details we hold. The Samsung 21 L Convection Microwave Oven CE73JD-B1 (opens in a new tab) gives none either. Both are harder to compare for baking.

This guide sets convection microwaves side by side on what the makers state. It looks at temperature range, power ratings, capacity and menus.

The picks

Pick #1Best overall

IFB 28 L Air Fry Convection Microwave

Brand: IFB
  • Capacity28 litres
  • Microwave900 W output
  • Warranty3 years on magnetron and cavity

This is a convection microwave with an air fry mode. In air fry mode, a fan moves hot air over the food, and a brush of oil is enough to crisp it, the maker says. Two glass tube heaters sit at the top of the cavity. IFB credits them with quick heat-up and shorter cooking.

For baking, the temperature settings matter most. This oven gives 10 of them, from 150 up to 240. That is the highest ceiling among the four ovens.

The LED display shows 10 power levels. Spare parts support runs for 6 years beyond the warranty terms. A keep warm setting holds dishes at serving heat for as long as 30 minutes, the maker says.

Auto-cook menus300
Temperature settings10 settings, 150 to 240

Warranty1 year comprehensive, 3 years on magnetron and cavity, 6 years spare parts support

Pros

  • The temperature range reaches 240, higher than any other oven in this guide.
  • It lists 300 auto-cook menus, the largest number here.

Cons

  • The lowest temperature setting is 150, where the IFB 30L Convection Microwave Oven starts at 110.

Suits: Buyers who want the highest convection temperature any of these makers lists.

Falls short: The maker's page gives no controls type, so how the panel works is unclear.

Pick #2Best for clear temperature steps

IFB 30L Convection Microwave Oven

Brand: IFB
  • Capacity30 litres
  • Microwave900 W output
  • Warranty3 years on magnetron and cavity

At 30 L, this convection microwave is the largest oven in the guide, and it adds a rotisserie. The cavity roof holds two glass tube heaters. Per IFB, they warm up fast and shorten cooking.

It lists the strongest convection rating of the four. The temperature settings run from 110 to 200, so it starts lower than any other oven that states a range. Its LED display has 10 power levels.

The warranty is 1 year across the oven, with 3 years on the magnetron and cavity. IFB also lists a keep warm setting that holds dishes warm for up to 30 minutes.

IFB 30L Convection Microwave Oven specifications
TypeConvection microwave with rotisserie
Capacity30 litres
Microwave power900 W output (1400 W power consumption)
Convection power2200 W
Temperature settings10 settings, 110 to 200
DisplayLED, 10 power levels
Warranty1 year comprehensive, 3 years on magnetron and cavity, 6 years spare parts support

Pros

  • The 2200 W convection rating is the highest of the four.
  • The range begins at 110, a lower start than the other IFB model.

Cons

  • The top temperature setting is 200, a lower ceiling than the IFB 28 L Air Fry Convection Microwave.

Suits: Buyers who want the highest convection rating together with a low starting temperature.

Falls short: The maker's page gives no grill power and no auto-cook menu count, which leaves fewer features to set against the other ovens.

Pick #3

Samsung 21 L Convection Microwave Oven CE73JD-B1

Brand: Samsung
  • Capacity21 litres
  • Microwave800 W output
  • TypeConvection microwave
  • Warranty12 months

This is the smallest oven here. Its Triple Distribution System is Samsung's answer to uneven cooking, and the maker says it reaches every part of the food. The controls are a membrane panel with an LED display and a child safety lock.

The interior is ceramic enamel. Samsung calls it hygienic and easy to wipe clean. It also says the coating is more than 7 times as scratch and rust resistant.

Capacity21 litres
Microwave power800 W output (1200 W power consumption)
Grill power1100 W
Convection power1700 W
ControlsMembrane, LED display, child safety lock
Warranty12 months

Pros

  • It has the highest grill rating of the four, at 1100 W.
  • The maker describes the ceramic enamel interior as easy to clean.

Cons

  • The 1700 W convection rating is the lowest in the guide.

Suits: Buyers who value a high grill rating and a child safety lock.

Falls short: Samsung gives no temperature range in the details we hold, which is the gap that matters most in a baking guide.

Pick #4Best for ready programmes

Godrej 25 L Convection Microwave Oven

Brand: Godrej
  • Capacity25 litres
  • Microwave900 W output
  • TypeConvection microwave

This oven sits between the Samsung and the two IFB models on capacity. Godrej points to a multi-distribution system that spreads heat around the cavity. The aim, it says, is quicker and more even cooking. The cavity itself is stainless steel.

A touch keypad and an LED display handle the controls. The preset list is called Instacook and holds 260 menus.

Capacity25 litres
Microwave power900 W output
Grill power1000 W
Convection power1950 W
Auto-cook menus260 Instacook menus
ControlsTouch keypad with LED display
Magnetron warranty5 years

Pros

  • It lists a 5-year magnetron warranty, longer than the 3 years IFB gives on magnetron and cavity.
  • The 260 Instacook menus give it a sizeable menu list.

Cons

  • The details we hold give a magnetron warranty only, and the rest of the Godrej oven has no stated cover.

Suits: Buyers who put a long magnetron warranty first.

Falls short: The maker does not state a temperature range, so it cannot be placed on a baking scale beside the IFB models.

How to choose

Start with the temperature range. For baking, it is the one spec that speaks directly to how a convection oven can be set. Only the two IFB models give one.

If the aim is the highest ceiling, the IFB 28 L Air Fry Convection Microwave is the one to look at. If the aim is a range that starts low, the IFB 30L Convection Microwave Oven covers 110 to 200.

Next, look at convection power. The ratings run from 1700 W to 2200 W. The makers do not say how a rating translates into baking results. Treat it as a listed figure and not a promise.

Capacity comes after that. The ovens span 21 L to 30 L. The details we hold do not include inner cavity dimensions. Check the product page for the exact size.

Warranty is the last point. Both IFB models carry a full 1-year warranty. Samsung gives 12 months. Godrej names only its magnetron cover.

For wider comparisons, see our guides to the best convection microwave oven, the best ifb microwave oven and the best grill microwave oven. A separate guide covers the best 20 to 25 L solo microwave oven, which is a different type of oven.

Verdict

The IFB 28 L Air Fry Convection Microwave is our pick for baking. Its convection temperatures reach the highest point. It also lists a strong convection rating. An air fry mode and a long menu list come with it.

The IFB 30L Convection Microwave Oven is the alternative for those who want the top convection rating and a lower starting temperature. The Samsung 21 L Convection Microwave Oven CE73JD-B1 and the Godrej 25 L Convection Microwave Oven each have their own strengths. Both leave the temperature range unstated, which is the main reason they rank lower here.

Frequently asked questions

Which of these ovens states a convection temperature range?

Only the two IFB models do. The Samsung and Godrej pages we draw on give no range.

Does a higher convection power rating mean better baking?

The makers do not say so. The rating is a heater figure on the product page, and we would not read it as a baking result.

Which oven has the longest list of auto-cook menus?

The IFB 28 L Air Fry Convection Microwave lists the most, ahead of the Godrej with its Instacook set. The other IFB model and the Samsung do not state a count.

Does the IFB air fry mode matter for baking?

It is a separate mode. IFB describes it as hot air and a fan crisping food with little oil. It does not replace the temperature settings used for convection cooking.

Which oven has the strongest grill?

The Samsung has the highest rating among the ovens that state one. The IFB 30L does not state a grill figure at all.

Where can I check the full specifications?
