Altimo 700W 20L Black Microwave Oven, 5 Cooking Power Levels, Quick Defrost Function, Manual Kitchen Timer vs 700W 20L White Microwave Oven, 5 Cooking Power Levels, Quick Defrost Function, Manual Kitchen Timer — Comparison

The Altimo MMW701B 700W 20L Black Microwave Oven and Altimo MMW701W 700W 20L White Microwave Oven are colour variants of the same affordable microwave design. Both are priced at £54, both sit at the simple end of Altimo’s range, and both are intended for buyers who need dependable basic microwave functions without advanced programmes.

The specification match is exact in the details provided. Each model has 20 litre capacity, 700W power, a rotating turntable, 5 cooking power levels, a quick defrost function, a defrost setting and a manual kitchen timer. There is no difference in wattage, internal capacity, turntable arrangement or number of heat settings. The only practical difference is the exterior colour: MMW701B is black, while MMW701W is white.

The MMW701B suits modern kitchens with black ovens, dark worktops or monochrome small appliances. It may also hide minor marks better around busy food-preparation areas. The MMW701W suits lighter kitchens, rental properties and utility spaces where white appliances are already standard. It can look cleaner and less visually heavy in small rooms. In performance terms, both are equally suited to reheating leftovers, warming drinks, defrosting frozen food and cooking simple ready meals. Since the price is the same, there is no reason to choose one for value over the other; the decision should be based on colour coordination and stock availability.

Bottom line: "choose MMW701B if you want the same 20L, 700W Altimo microwave in black / opt for MMW701W if a white finish better matches your kitchen or utility space."
