Hisense vs Samsung Microwaves

Hisense offers four models between £79 and £99, from the H20MOMSS4HGUK 20L 700W silver grill at £79 to the H25MOBS7HUK 25L 900W solo at £99. Samsung has the MS23T5018ACEU 23L 800W solo at £99, which matches the Hisense H25MOBS7HUK on price. The MC28H5013AS 28L 900W microwave with a 1400W oven costs £229, and the MC32DG7646CKE3 32L all-in-one combi with AirFry costs £289.

Samsung's technology is its distinguishing feature. Its Triple Distribution System spreads heat through the cavity, and its ceramic enamel interior is scratch-resistant and anti-bacterial, according to the Samsung guide. The MS23T5018ACEU adds quick defrost, glass touch and 20 programmes at 800W, and the MC32DG7646CKE3 adds AirFry. Hisense's models stay at 700W to 900W, with grill and auto defrost on the grill models, and its guide notes they lack premium features such as inverter or convection. Samsung's guide also highlights Wi-Fi SmartThings connectivity on modern models.

Hisense suits first-time buyers and households that need a cheap grill or a 25-litre solo for everyday meals. Samsung suits people who want a ceramic interior, a Triple Distribution System and quick defrost, or a combi that can air fry. Its guide describes 28 litres as the most popular size, which suits family cooking. Samsung's guide also notes that repairs can be expensive, so check the warranty before buying. Smart control buyers should weigh SmartThings support against Hisense's basic controls. Samsung's MS23T5018ACEU at £99 costs the same as the H25MOBS7HUK solo, and adds quick defrost and 20 programmes.

Bottom line: choose Hisense if you need a grill under £100 or a basic 25L solo, and choose Samsung if you want a Triple Distribution System, a ceramic interior and an AirFry combi for family cooking.
