Tornado Microwave Solo, 20 Liter, 700 W Mechanical Dial Control, Black, TM-20MK

The Tornado TM-20MK is the black version of Tornado's 20 liter microwave, controlled by two mechanical knobs rather than an electronic panel. The first knob picks one of five power levels including a defrost position, the second is a wind-up timer that rings at the end of the cycle. With 700 W of microwave output it handles the daily work of a kitchen: reheating leftovers, warming a plate of rice, softening butter and thawing frozen chicken or meat. There is no grill heater and no convection fan, so this is purely a reheat-and-defrost machine, which is exactly why it is so simple to live with. The rotating glass turntable sits in an easy-clean enamel-coated cavity with an interior lamp behind the glass door. It measures 44.0 cm wide, 33.6 cm deep and 25.9 cm high and weighs 10.35 kg. Made in China for El Araby Group and covered by a 1 year full free agent warranty, it is a dependable budget choice for small households.
