Convection is the difference between a reheating box and an oven -- it circulates genuinely hot air, so it bakes and browns where a solo microwave only agitates water molecules.
Full details →Who the Preethi Zodiac MG-218 750W Mixer Grinder with 5 Jars is for
Buy it if: Any Indian kitchen grinding batter, masala or turmeric regularly.
Avoid it if: Anyone wanting to run it continuously for long periods -- it needs rest breaks.
Who the Panasonic 27L Convection Microwave Oven is for
Buy it if: Anyone who wants one appliance that reheats, bakes and grills in a kitchen without space for an oven.
Avoid it if: Anyone who mainly defrosts and melts delicately -- a true inverter model handles low power far better.
