What to look for in microwaves on sale

Microwaves on sale at The Good Guys span compact benchtop models through to built-in, inverter and convection microwaves. The right choice comes down to four things: format, capacity, wattage and features. A 17 to 20 litre benchtop model suits singles, couples and apartments for basic reheating and defrosting. A 23 to 25 litre model is the most widely sold size and suits households of two to four people. Larger families and batch cooks are better served by 30 to 40 litres.

On power, 800W is the entry-level standard, 900W to 1,000W is mid-range, and 1,100W to 1,200W is premium. Higher wattage heats food faster and more evenly at the same power setting.

Major brands on sale include Panasonic, LG, Sharp, Breville, Smeg and more. The microwave buying guide covers each format in detail.

What types of microwaves are on sale?

Microwave type determines how the appliance heats food and what tasks it can handle beyond basic reheating and defrosting.

Type

How it works

Best for

Benchtop microwaves

Sit on a bench or counter. The most common format for Australian households.

Most households. Available from compact 17-litre models through to large-capacity 40-litre options suited to family use.

Built-in microwaves

Integrate with kitchen cabinetry at a fixed height.

Kitchen renovations and new builds where benchtop space is at a premium.

Inverter microwaves

Use continuous variable power rather than cycling on and off at full wattage. This delivers more even heating and reduces hot spots in food.

Households that regularly defrost or gently reheat, where lower power settings matter most.

Convection microwaves

Combine microwave heating with a fan-forced convection oven.

Baking, roasting and grilling in addition to standard microwave functions. The most versatile benchtop cooking appliance type available.

Capacity and power

Capacity and wattage are the two most practical specifications to compare when looking at microwaves on sale. Larger households benefit from a bigger cavity and higher wattage, which reduces cooking time on standard tasks.

Capacity

Suits

Notes

17 to 20 litres

Singles, couples and apartments

Basic reheating and defrosting. Compact footprint that fits on smaller benches.

23 to 25 litres

Households of two to four people

The most widely sold size. Handles family-sized dishes and most reusable containers.

30 to 40 litres

Larger families

Suited to households that regularly cook full meals in the microwave or use it for batch reheating.

Wattage: 800W is the entry-level standard; 900W to 1,000W is mid-range; 1,100W to 1,200W is premium. Higher wattage heats food faster and more evenly at the same power setting.

What features should you compare across sale microwaves?

Beyond capacity and wattage, several features affect ease of use and the variety of tasks the microwave can handle.

  • Inverter technology: produces more even results on delicate heating tasks. Worth prioritising if defrosting or reheating cooked meals is a regular use.

  • Sensor cooking: detects moisture and steam to automatically adjust time and power, removing the need to manually set cooking time for common foods.

  • Auto-cook programmes: pre-set programmes for common tasks such as popcorn, pizza, vegetables and beverages. Useful for households that use the microwave daily.

  • Grill function: a quartz or ceramic grill element allows browning and crisping on top of food, extending the microwave beyond basic reheating.

  • Convection capability: adds full convection oven function in a benchtop format. Useful for smaller kitchens that lack a separate benchtop oven.

  • Steam function: available on selected premium models. Useful for cooking vegetables and fish without added oil.

  • Easy-clean interior: ceramic or stainless steel interiors are easier to wipe down than standard enamel.

  • Mute function: useful for late-night reheating without waking the household.

Microwave brands at The Good Guys

Major microwave brands available at The Good Guys include:

  • Panasonic: produces inverter microwave technology across selected benchtop and convection models. Inverter delivers continuous variable power for defrosting and gentle reheating.

  • LG: covers benchtop microwaves with NeoChef and smart inverter technology across mid and upper-mid price points.

  • Sharp: covers benchtop microwaves across mid-range price points with sensor cooking and auto-cook programmes on selected models.

  • Breville: produces benchtop microwaves and combi appliances across the premium tier, including the Combi Wave 3-in-1 that combines microwave, convection and air frying.

  • Smeg: produces built-in microwaves with retro and contemporary styling options across a range of finishes.

How do you buy a microwave on sale?

  1. Match capacity to household size: 17 to 20 litres for one to two people, 23 to 25 litres for families, 30 to 40 litres for larger households or batch cooking.

  2. Check the wattage: a 900W or higher model heats food faster and more evenly than 700W to 800W alternatives at similar price points.

  3. Consider inverter technology if defrosting and gentle reheating are regular tasks: the more even power delivery produces noticeably better results.

  4. Confirm whether a grill function or convection capability is needed: a convection microwave replaces a benchtop oven for smaller kitchens.

  5. For built-in models, confirm cabinet opening dimensions and ventilation clearance before committing.

  6. Compare current sales across Panasonic, LG, Sharp, Breville, Smeg and more.

  7. Confirm delivery at checkout.

  8. Add to cart or reserve in-store for collection at your nearest The Good Guys.

Frequently Asked Questions

Microwaves are part of a broader cooking and kitchen appliance range on sale at The Good Guys. The deals directory below covers every active sale category, from coffee machines and dishwashers through to laundry and technology.

The best time to buy a microwave on sale in Australia is generally during EOFY, Black Friday or Boxing Day. These events produce the widest range of sales across benchtop, built-in, inverter and convection microwaves from brands such as Panasonic, LG, Sharp and Hisense.

Microwaves can also drop in price outside peak sale periods:

  • When a current model is superseded by a newer release, the previous version typically drops in price.

  • Stock movement events at individual store level can produce localised sales outside the main national sale periods.

The Black Friday microwave sale runs in November and brings some of the broadest sales of the year on microwaves, particularly on prior-generation models, with sale pricing typically extending through Cyber Monday into early December.

The Boxing Day microwave sale runs in late December, covers a broad range of microwaves and is often the strongest window for sale pricing on prior-year stock.

The EOFY sale covers microwaves on sale from Panasonic, LG, Samsung and Sharp across the range.

Panasonic and LG are consistently among the best-reviewed microwave brands in Australia. Panasonic inverter models are widely recommended for their even heating performance, particularly for defrosting. LG smart inverter models are well regarded for reliability and sensor cooking capability.

Both brands cover the full size range from compact benchtop through to large family convection models. Samsung also covers the mid to premium tier with smart features and combi cooking modes. See the microwave buying guide for a brand-by-brand comparison.

A 17 to 20 litre benchtop microwave suits singles and couples for basic reheating and defrosting. Families of three or more generally benefit from a 25 to 32 litre model, which fits a standard dinner plate comfortably and accommodates larger casserole dishes.

Built-in microwaves typically start at 25 litres and are designed to integrate with the surrounding cabinetry for a flush kitchen finish. Convection microwaves with combination cooking modes blur the line with conventional ovens, useful for households wanting one appliance for reheating and light baking. Measure the bench or cabinet space first, then compare the sizes on sale to find the best fit.

Inverter technology delivers noticeably more even results on defrosting, gentle reheating and cooking delicate foods, because it adjusts power continuously rather than cycling on and off at full wattage. For households that regularly defrost meat or reheat cooked meals, an inverter model is worth the additional cost.

Panasonic, LG and Samsung all produce inverter microwave ranges across benchtop and convection formats, typically priced from $200 at entry level through to $600-1000+ for larger convection inverters.

The microwave buying guide covers the inverter vs standard comparison in detail.
