One of the great things about the KOR7LBKM is the “zero standby” function. You can use this to switch off all power to the microwave without needing to unplug it.

Compact but Highly Functional

The Akai A24006C is another excellent retro microwave. Unlike the other two models on this list, which have a more lighthearted style, the Akai has a bold appearance that reminds us of an American diner.

The Akai provides an “American 60s Diner” style that we enjoy – although it’s the least powerful on this list (700W). If you receive any damaged items on your delivery, please state the full extent of the damage on the driver’s delivery note when signing for the goods.

If you fail to return the goods, we will collect them, and will charge you the direct cost of collection. If you fail to take reasonable care of the goods before they are returned to us, and this results in damage or deterioration, we will charge you for the reduction in value.

The capacity is only 20 litres and it uses a 27cm glass turntable rather than a flatbed design, so you won’t be able to fit large dishes in it. The start and pause/cancel buttons felt like they should have been swapped around. Having the start button on the bottom-right and the cancel button slightly to the left is much more common. So we kept hitting the wrong one, cancelling a program instead of starting it. Annoying but you’d soon get used to the layout. Our fast UK mainland delivery is available at the lowest possible prices to help you save as much money as possible. Our delivery prices depend on the delivery postcode and we can often provide FREE DELIVERY to certain areas.

But it’s not all retro. For example, there’s a bright digital display. This comes into its own when selecting one of the 12 built-in auto cooking modes. This brings up a dozen cute little icons. So it’s retro in a thoroughly modern way, a Jetsons microwave if you will. Due to the paint processes used, a colour variation with matching products is possible and therefore may not be a 100% match. Maybe. If you want a small, budget microwave but you don’t want something that screams “cheap” then this is a good alternative to a supermarket special. It looks cute and the controls are simple and pleasant to use. It’s not terribly powerful, but what do you expect for the price?

If you’re looking for a retro microwave, you’ve come to the right place! Vintage-style models have become increasingly popular in recent years, as more people aim for a retro appeal in their kitchens. And it’s easy to see why – retro models have a homely attractiveness that can’t be matched by the square and bulky designs of most models. It’s the most powerful model on this list, with 900W microwave output, and has a large 25 litre capacity. This makes it better suited for large families than the 20 litre models. The 900W grill is also useful for browning and crisping. Other features include 5 power levels, 12 cook menus and a 60 minute timer. If you cancel you must return the goods to us at your own expense. You are responsible for the risk of loss or damage when you return the goods, so you should take out adequate postal insurance to cover their value. Inside, this vintage microwave is also a strong performer. It’s built with a concave reflex system, which distributes microwaves more evenly inside the cavity. This prevents cold spots within food. It also comes with several automatic cook programs, automatic defrost function and five power levels. We aim to offer a simple and convenient delivery choice. As such, wherever possible, we provide 3 delivery options:
