Breville the Smooth Wave
IKEA GÅTEBO
The Breville the Smooth Wave is a better microwave than the IKEA GÅTEBO for most people. The Breville is more powerful and has a larger internal capacity, so it can fit larger dishes and cook a bit faster. It's also easier to use, with dials and physical buttons instead of a membrane touch panel, which is less responsive. While the IKEA lets you start simple cooking tasks with a single button, the Breville is easy to use for both simple and more complex tasks. Plus, it has a cooking sensor, which makes certain tasks, like defrosting, more hands-off. That said, the IKEA is quieter and much more affordable. It also includes options for convection cooking, air frying, and even grilling, which is handy if you're looking to save space or cash with a combo model.
