Hisense 20L 700W Microwave Grill - Black vs 23 Litre Microwave in Black — Comparison

The Hisense H20MOMBS4HGUK 20L 700W Microwave Grill and Hisense H23MOBS5HUK 23 Litre Microwave are both black freestanding microwaves priced at £89, but they sit differently in the range. The H20MOMBS4HGUK is the smaller grill-equipped model, while the H23MOBS5HUK is the larger, more powerful solo microwave.

The H20MOMBS4HGUK offers 20L capacity, 700W microwave power, auto defrost, 9 auto functions, a microwave grill and an LCD touch display. The H23MOBS5HUK increases capacity to 23L, adds a 27cm turntable and raises output to 800W. It also includes a timer, automatic programmes and easy-to-use touch controls. The key trade-off is grill versatility versus size and power: the H20MOMBS4HGUK can brown or grill food, while the H23MOBS5HUK gives more internal space and faster microwave heating.

The H20MOMBS4HGUK suits buyers who want more than reheating from a compact microwave, especially for crisping toppings, grilling snacks or finishing small dishes. Its 20L size works well in smaller kitchens, but the 700W output is modest. The H23MOBS5HUK suits households that mainly reheat, defrost and cook using automatic programmes, and it is better for larger plates thanks to the 23L capacity and 27cm turntable. Since both cost £89, the decision comes down to how often you would use the grill compared with the benefit of 3L extra space and 100W more power.

Bottom line: "choose H20MOMBS4HGUK if you want a compact 20L microwave with grill and 9 auto functions / opt for H23MOBS5HUK if you prefer 23L capacity, 800W power and a larger 27cm turntable."
