The Midea microwave oven was created by a Chinese company. Contrary to consumer concerns, microwave ovens are quite reliable, they serve for years without failures and breakdowns. They are attracted by value - why pay more if the market has high-quality and inexpensive models that have all the necessary functions.
About company
The history of Midea began in 1968. From a small workshop producing plastic products, a real manufacturing giant has grown, exporting its products worldwide. The company, entering the TOP-5 manufacturers of household appliances in terms of sales, has many joint ventures.
In 2008, the Midea Horizon joint venture was opened in Belarus, where microwave ovens that are popular in Russia are still being produced.
Innovative technologies
Midea is not only increasing its volume, but also constantly improving technology. At her disposal are powerful research centers that closely interact with production. Among the innovative developments:
- Smart CleanTM is a special enamel that is easy to clean from contamination. It is used to treat the inner surface of the chambers. From the walls covered with heat-resistant enamel, simply remove traces of spray and baked grease.
- Smart CeramicsTM. Thanks to this coating, the surfaces are resistant to mechanical stress - they do not scratch.
Chinese stoves serve for a long time - it is not in vain that all Midea products undergo a five-step quality control.
The main characteristics of microwave ovens
Half a century ago, microwave ovens were only in restaurants; today they have literally settled in every kitchen. To choose the most suitable technique, you need to take into account your needs and the number of people. Choosing a model, pay attention to such nuances:
- Is there a grill, convection?
- What is the volume of the camera that can fit there? Only a small chicken can be placed in a 19-liter chamber. To bake a goose, you need a larger camera - 25 liters, no less. To fully replace the oven, take a modification of 35 liters.
- If all you expect from a microwave is heating and defrosting, it’s stupid to overpay for functions you don’t need. Want to bake delicious meat from time to time? Take a look at the models with grill and convection.
- Choosing the type of management, each buyer is guided by their preferences. Mature people more often choose the option with buttons and rounded handles, the younger generation - the touch version with the ability to cook food by programming.

User reviews
AG720C4E-S: Lydia T., Biysk
The stove was bought a year ago for 4,200 rubles. - a very favorable offer. It was attracted that the stove was made in Belarus, although it is clear that the Chinese company is still nicer. Options - glass plate and grill. Often I use a door instead of a mirror, it has a mirror coating. But, alas, a camera cannot be seen through such a door. Minus - fingerprints are visible on the mirror surface. The button that opens the door sometimes gets stuck for a couple of seconds. The clock is constantly in a hurry. But convenient controls are buttons and a knob. For such a price, a decent stove with a lot of functions.
MM820CXX-B: Peter F., Tver
For a long time they did without a microwave oven, but, having bought an apartment, they began to fill the kitchen with different appliances. Choosing a suitable model, he emphasized heating and defrosting - this was the main thing. Therefore, the budget option came up. The choice fell on the stylish black MM820CXX-B. Not easily soiled - plus. A convenient handle is much more reliable than push-button door opening. 20 l of volume is enough for a medium-sized plate. Inconvenient control - it is not possible to precisely set the time with the rotary switches. When closing the door slams.
One of the goals of Midea is to provide a comfortable life for little money. The brand’s microwave ovens belonging to the middle price segment are not inferior to the leading European manufacturers in either quality or functionality. Interest in them in Russia is logical. A pleasant “bonus” is an original and stylish design that attracts the attention of aesthetes.
