Advantages of Daewoo Microwave Ovens
Among the advantages of Daewu ovens, users and experts note a rather stylish design solution and simple intuitive controls. Of course, a wide range and an impressive lineup are another of the advantages. There are small mono (or solo), as well as options made in retro design.
In addition to reasonable cost, buyers indicate high build quality. At first glance it seems that there are not so many functions and programs, but it all depends on your needs.
The main types
One of the interesting options from a Korean company is microwave ovens with the possibility of making pancakes or pizza. To make home-made pizza or pre-cook ready-to-cook foods, just load them into a specially provided compartment.
In such ovens you can place 2 dishes together - this significantly saves time. The rotation of the rotary table is not as usual - around its own axis, but also horizontally. This is organized to avoid temperature differences between the edges and the center so that the food warms up evenly.
The corporation also introduced a universal heating system called 3D Power. It does not imply 2 traditional heaters in the design of the MVP (microwave), but three at once: from the sides, from above and from below.
There are still models in which forced convection is provided. This ensures uniform circulation of air flows in the chamber.
On a note! Separate line - microwave with grill. This is a find for gourmets and lovers of crispy chicken, crackers, cookies and other delicacies.
Solo ovens are an unchanging classic. They are used, as befits, for warming up and modest help with the housework, for example, for defrosting frosts.
Criterias of choice
To begin, correlate the dimensions of the future oven with the dimensions of your kitchen and free space for installing a new electric appliance. Please note that there are both stationary and built-in options.
Design
Speaking of color solutions - most microwave ovens are painted in standard colors: black, white and metal. But there are also light green, orange, red and combined options.
Control
Management can be mechanical and electronic. At the same time, the stoves are slightly different from each other in the external panel: this can be a regular knob or cute touch buttons. But the door is invariably the same: in 99% of cases it is equipped with durable and transparent (translucent) glass.
Displacement
External parameters are not particularly important when it comes to functionality - here the "filling" plays a role. For a small family of 3 people maximum, a 25 liter model is suitable. If the family is larger, then the displacement of the microwave oven should be increased.
Basically, the Daewoo range is divided into two conditional groups: up to 20 liters and from 20 to 24 liters. There are few giant options: there are profit centers of 28 liters (for example, KOC-9Q4T), and furnaces of 30-40 liters, as a rule, are removed from production due to low demand.
Inner coating
Particular attention when choosing is to remove the inner coating of the camera. Traditionally, the main materials are stainless steel, ceramics and enamel. The latter is most often found in budget options Daewoo.
Enamel coating cameras requires special and constant care, eliminates mechanical cleaning.
Ceramics very fragile, so it can not withstand a blow. But it is resistant to scratches and other damage. Ceramic coating is easy to clean.
Stainless steel - universal option. Fat hardly sticks to it. But it requires a quality wash so that there are no stains.

Maria, Moscow Region
I bought it a few years ago - clean warm sandwiches for breakfast. I counted on no more than a year of work for that kind of money (I don’t remember the cost exactly, but something about a thousand). The result is a perfect job to this day. The regulator initially stands at the maximum mark (after all, the power is only 500 watts). Cold soup until warm is heated in 2 minutes, if you add another minute after a minute pause, there will be boiling water. Dear models, they do such a pause themselves - there is electronics, but I got used to it and do it myself, nothing complicated. I do not defrost, because I do not do frost and do not eat processed foods. If you need a new one, I will choose the same newer, but for sure this brand.

The main plus is the price. Let's go over the shortcomings: the water heats for too long. It also makes noise at the same time. It doesn’t look very presentable, I had to push it into a dead corner. For one person it’s still good, but it’s not suitable for the family. I advise you to take more, more expensive, and from another manufacturer.
Igor, Oryol
The door opens very conveniently, the stove itself is small - it easily stood on the washer. It works quietly, warms up evenly - what else is needed? Of course, there are disadvantages, but not critical: the standard cover was large, I had to look for less; the power cord is short; the numbers on the controller erased six months later. In general, the stove is suitable for those who need an inexpensive and small microwave. To warm it well, the regulator is at maximum.
On a note! Interested in non-standard placement of the stove? Read: “Is it possible to put a microwave on a washing machine: analysis of myths”.

Design - BOMB. I have a retro kitchen, I collected furniture for it in antique stores. It was difficult with household appliances. But found a refrigerator Smeg and microwave Daewoo. Crazy about them. The microwave works perfectly, but is not entirely clear with a timer.
Svetlana, Irkutsk
The design is unreal, the buttons are very convenient to press. Even a two-click launch doesn’t infuriate. Picks quietly - 3 times. I did not find any minuses, except for spaciousness - after all, 20 liters is about nothing. Purely appreciated for its design, if you need a large working machine.— to you for another stove.

March, Severodvinsk
Great modern equipment in a steel case, I liked it right away. A decent size pizza is easily placed on the turntable. Convection is fast. But I don’t like the too loud notification - the squeak is notable, you can hear it even from the last room in the house. The door also opens noisily. Too booming. These shortcomings are not so significant, especially since there are clearly more advantages. A microwave is less than an electric oven, and there are more possibilities with it: it heats, bakes, and defrosts!
Typical malfunctions
Breakdowns for microwave ovens are usually the same, regardless of model. Consider the most typical failures characteristic of the Daewoo technique, and the reasons that cause them to appear.
- The stove does not heat. Most likely, the magnetron, high-voltage diode or capacitor has failed.
- Cannot enable selected program. In this case, the electronic board may be the source of damage.
- The technique does not turn on at all. A high voltage fuse could have failed.
- Sparks appeared inside. In this case, the diffuser could burn out (there was a breakdown of mica).
- Smoke from the back wall and the smell of burnt plastic. Possible breakdown of the transformer.
- The "plate" does not spin. The drive motor could break.
- The grill does not function. The blown TEN of the grill is to blame for the failure.
Fact! Usually the cost of repairing these breakdowns is not worth a lot of money. And if the master too "bends", think what is more profitable: to repair equipment or buy a new one?
Now you know everything about Daewoo brand microwaves - their features, advantages and disadvantages, the best models and even possible breakdowns. It remains only to decide on the purchase. As you can see, the majority of users are happy with the purchase, and no equipment in the world is immune from breakdowns.
