Microwave Oven Price in Bangladesh 2026: Complete Buying Guide

Quick Answer: Microwave Oven Price in Bangladesh

The microwave oven price in Bangladesh in 2026 starts at around ৳9,500–13,000 for a 20 litre solo microwave — the right size for most families. 25 litre grill models cost ৳14,000–18,000, and 28–32 litre convection microwaves (which also bake) run ৳20,000–30,000+. For reheating, defrosting and everyday cooking, a 20L solo model is all most homes need — our Microwave Oven 20 Litre (৳11,500) hits the sweet spot of capacity, power and price.

Microwaves have quietly become essential in Bangladeshi kitchens — for reheating bhat and curry, defrosting frozen fish and meat, making tea, and quick-cooking everything from vegetables to mug cakes. Yet buyers often overpay for a convection model they never bake in, or buy too small and regret it. This guide covers the microwave oven price in Bangladesh, the three types explained honestly, and how to choose the right capacity.

Solo vs Grill vs Convection: Which Type Do You Need?

Feature	Solo	Grill	Convection
What it does	Reheat, defrost, cook	Solo + grilling/browning	Grill + baking (oven-like)
Can bake cakes?	No	No (limited)	Yes
Typical capacity	20–25L	25L	28–32L
Price range (BDT)	৳9,500 – ৳14,000	৳14,000 – ৳18,000	৳20,000 – ৳30,000+
Best for	Most families	Kebab/tikka lovers	Bakers

Honest advice: 80% of Bangladeshi buyers should get a solo microwave. Buy grill only if you will actually grill kebabs weekly; buy convection only if you will bake cakes, pizzas and biscuits regularly. A convection microwave used only for reheating is ৳10,000 wasted — our 20 Litre solo model (৳11,500) does everything most kitchens need.

Price Tiers: What Your Money Buys

Tier	Budget (BDT)	What You Get	Best For
Budget	৳9,500 – ৳11,000	20L solo, mechanical controls	Simple reheating needs
Mid-range	৳11,000 – ৳16,000	20–25L solo, digital panel, auto-cook menus	Most homes — value zone
Premium	৳16,000 – ৳30,000+	Grill/convection, sensors, larger capacity	Enthusiasts, bakers

7-Point Buying Checklist

1. Choose capacity by family size

20 litres suits 3–5 member families — it fits a full dinner plate and standard bowls. Go 23–25L for joint families or if you reheat large serving dishes. Below 20L feels cramped within months; above 25L solo is unnecessary for most.

2. Pick the right type (solo/grill/convection)

See the comparison above. Do not pay the convection premium "just in case" — be honest about whether you will bake. For reheating bhat, dal and curry, solo wins on value.

3. Check the wattage

700–800W is standard for 20L models and reheats efficiently. Higher wattage cooks faster but draws more current — ensure your kitchen socket handles it. Lower-wattage cheap models (500–600W) feel sluggish.

4. Controls: digital vs mechanical

Digital panels with auto-cook menus (rice, vegetables, fish, defrost by weight) are genuinely useful. Mechanical dials are simpler and arguably more durable — a fine choice for elderly users or basic needs.

5. Turntable and interior

A rotating glass turntable ensures even heating — confirm it is included and spins freely. Easy-clean interiors (ceramic or anti-bacterial coating) save real scrubbing time with curry splatters.

6. Safety features

Look for a child safety lock, overheat protection and a sturdy door latch. The door should close firmly with no gaps — microwaves are engineered with multiple interlocks, and a damaged door seal is the one thing to take seriously.

7. Warranty and genuine product

Expect 1 year full warranty plus extended magnetron coverage on branded models. Buy genuine — counterfeit microwaves with fake wattage labels are common in grey markets. Every microwave at POD Shop is genuine, quality-checked, and covered by proper warranty with cash on delivery.

Is Microwave Cooking Safe? The Facts

Decades of research — summarised by bodies like the World Health Organization — find microwave ovens safe when used as directed. A few facts worth knowing:

• Microwaves heat food by exciting water molecules; they do not make food radioactive, and no "radiation" remains in food afterwards.
• Nutrient loss is comparable to or less than stovetop cooking, because cooking times are shorter and less water is used.
• Uneven heating is the real (minor) risk — stir or rotate food midway, and let standing time finish the job.
• Never microwave sealed containers, eggs in shells, or metal — the classic mistakes behind most microwave accidents.

Electricity Use and Running Cost

A 700W microwave running 20 minutes daily uses about 7 units a month — roughly ৳60–80 in electricity. That is negligible next to an air fryer or electric kettle. The microwave is one of the cheapest appliances to run in your kitchen, which is why it pays for itself quickly in saved gas and time.

Cleaning and Maintenance Tips

• Daily: Wipe spills immediately with a damp cloth — dried curry splatter becomes cement.
• Deodorise: Microwave a bowl of water with lemon slices for 5 minutes, then wipe — removes fish and curry odours.
• Deep clean: Monthly, steam-clean with vinegar water (1:1) for 5 minutes, then wipe all surfaces including the door seal.
• Turntable: Wash the glass plate separately like a dish — it lifts right out.
• Never: Use abrasive scourers on the interior coating, or run the microwave empty (it can damage the magnetron).
• Vents: Keep rear and side vents dust-free for proper cooling.

What You Can (and Cannot) Put Inside

Material	Microwave Safe?	Notes
Glass, ceramic	Yes	Best choices — no staining
Microwave-safe plastic	Yes	Check for the microwave-safe symbol
Paper plates, towels	Yes (short times)	Plain, no print
Metal, foil, steel tiffin	No	Causes sparking
Melamine	No	Can crack and leach
Sealed containers	No	Pressure builds — vent first

Microwave Oven Price in Bangladesh: Brand Comparison

Brand premiums explain much of the microwave oven price in Bangladesh spread. Typical 2026 rates for 20L solo models:

Brand	20L Solo Model	Typical Price (BDT)	Notes
Miyako	20L solo	৳10,500 – ৳12,500	Popular, good service network
Walton	20L solo	৳11,000 – ৳13,000	Local brand, easy warranty
Vision	20L solo	৳10,000 – ৳12,000	Value choice
Samsung	20L solo	৳13,500 – ৳16,000	Premium finish, ceramic interior
LG	20L solo	৳13,000 – ৳15,500	Smart inverter models cost more
Sharp	20L solo	৳12,500 – ৳15,000	Quiet operation, reliable

Our Microwave Oven 20 Litre (৳11,500) competes with Miyako and Vision pricing while including the digital controls and auto-cook menus buyers actually use. When comparing the microwave oven price in Bangladesh across sellers, confirm the exact model number — similarly named models can differ in wattage and features.

What Bangladeshi Families Actually Cook in a Microwave

• Reheating: Bhat, khichuri, dal, curry — 3–5 minutes, tastes fresh.
• Defrosting: Frozen fish, chicken and meat — use defrost-by-weight, not full power.
• Vegetables: Mixed vegetable bhaji in 6–8 minutes with a spoon of water, covered.
• Tea and milk: 1–2 minutes — watch milk closely to avoid boil-over.
• Papad and chips: Papad puffs perfectly in 60–90 seconds with zero oil.
• Desserts: Firni-style desserts and mug cakes in minutes — a hit with kids.

If this list covers your needs, a solo model is all you will ever need — which is exactly why the 20L solo segment dominates microwave oven sales in Bangladesh.

Easy First-Week Recipes for Your New Microwave

New owners often use only 10% of what their microwave can do. Try these in your first week:

Dish	Time	How
Reheated bhat	3–4 min	Sprinkle water, cover, stir halfway
Dal tadka refresh	2–3 min	Heat covered, stir once — tastes fresh-made
Steamed vegetables	6–8 min	Chopped veg + 2 tbsp water, covered
Fish bhapa style	8–10 min	Marinated fish in covered glass dish
Mug cake	2 min	4 tbsp flour + 2 tbsp sugar + cocoa + egg + oil
Roasted peanuts	4–5 min	Single layer, stir every 90 seconds
Ghee clarifying	5–6 min	Butter in deep glass bowl, watch closely

Once these become routine, you will wonder how the kitchen functioned without one — which is exactly why the microwave oven price in Bangladesh is best viewed as a one-time investment against years of saved time and gas.

Microwave vs OTG Oven: Do You Need Both?

Shoppers sometimes confuse microwaves with OTG (oven-toaster-grill) ovens. They are different appliances: a microwave excites water molecules for fast reheating and cooking, while an OTG uses heating elements like a traditional oven — better for baking cakes with browning, but much slower at reheating. If your main goal is reheating and quick cooking, the microwave wins outright. If you bake weekly, a convection microwave (which includes OTG-like heating) covers both jobs in one appliance. For most homes, a 20L solo microwave now — plus a small OTG later only if baking becomes a real hobby — is the sensible path.

Placement tip: give your microwave 4–6 inches of clearance on the sides and back for ventilation, keep it away from the gas stove's heat and steam, and mount it at a comfortable height — bending down to a floor-level microwave gets old fast. A sturdy kitchen shelf or dedicated microwave stand (৳1,500–2,500 typical market price) is worth the investment.

Conclusion: The Right Microwave for Your Kitchen

For most Bangladeshi families, a 20 litre solo microwave in the ৳11,000–14,000 range is the perfect buy — reheats, defrosts and cooks daily meals at negligible running cost.
