I don’t know much about cooking and microwaves. I’m pretty much a total
beginner. The talking £200 one sounds too expensive but I’m not sure about the
reliability of the £25 ones either. I’ve been looking on Amazon so far. The one
I like the sound of is the Sharp R658SLM microwave for £61. It’s supposed to
have a grill and 1 touch buttons for heating pizzas, vegetables etc. I think
Currys are also selling it so I’ll go in and have a look at it sometime.

Adeel. Be really careful before you purchase this.Get it properly demoed
in the store. If they won't let you, then don't buy it or negotiate
money off because you might have to take it back again which will cause
you huge inconvenience and possibly extra taxi fares.
Just putting labels on the buttons might not be the half of it.
Though you might be aware what button does what, first check out how
much of this is menu driven. There may be a certain amount you have to
commit to memory i.e. that if you press the weight button it steps up in
increments of 7 ounces or you might have to cycle through a whole bunch
of different settings such as meat, poultry, bread, etc before getting
to high power. Will you be able to remember all this, could you make
errors and could it just be too much hassle? It really depends on the
individual microwave.
For ease and peace of mind, I'd personally go for a 25 quid cheapo
mechanical dial one which will have just timer as a rotary dial and
settings as a switch between low medium and high power. Very easily
labeled and understood with no menus. Unless you fancy forking out the
best part of 200 quid for the accessible microwave oven from Cobolt
which I really did like until it broke. It's particularly helpful when
defrosting and can be recommended fairly highly on that alone.
Remember kids, make lots of healthy batch meals, freeze them and then
eat them at your leisure. Much cheaper too. Then blast them in your
accessible microwave: can you say "re-arrange" in a slightly robotic
voice?
