Convection microwaves
The convection models are an advanced version of the standard microwave. They cook quicker than a regular microwave--a convection oven has internal fans that circulate air, thereby cooking food quicker and more evenly. You can even use these models for roasting a bird, baking, or browning. At the same time, they are often more expensive.
The average size of convection microwaves is 15-inches high; 24.5-inches wide; 19-inches deep and can have a capacity to up to 2 cubic feet. The home chef who wants time-saving shortcuts will appreciate the convection models most.

Microwaves with Speedcook
Using both microwave and light technology, speedcook microwaves cook food in traditional methods but faster--four to eight times faster, according to some manufactures. Speedcookers not only microwave but bake, broil, brown, roast, and grill quickly with no preheating. For example, a speedcook microwave cooks a whole chicken in 20 minutes versus a conventional oven time of 120 minutes in most cases, or a frozen pizza can take 5.5 minutes versus 23 minutes. Most advanced models are also a convection and warming oven and can be built-in. They are also more energy efficient than conventional ovens.
The average size is 19 to 21 inches high; 25 to 29 inches wide; 15.5 to 21 inches deep. Most allow turntable rotation of a 9x13 casserole dish. Speedcook microwaves are best for time-pressed cooks who still want that home-cooked feeling.

Microwaves with sensors
Microwave sensors determine when the food is done automatically and turn the oven off, which prevents overcooking or undercooking the food and means there are fewer buttons for you to push. Also, sensors enable one-touch cooking for preprogrammed recipes or food-cook times. If you buy a microwave that includes sensors, you'll cook food more efficiently. Features like sensors and variable power settings can reduce cooking time even more.

Preprogrammed microwave - auto settings
Beyond standard auto settings such as Defrost, Cook, and Fresh Vegetables, many microwaves now include preprogrammed settings to cook food items such as popcorn (the microwave item most likely to burn), pizza, baked potatoes, frozen dinners, chicken breasts, soup, or sauce. Many models include settings for melt/soften or "add 30 seconds" for one-touch extra heating.
