The little chef that does it all

Introducing GÅTEBO, a new freestanding microwave oven and air fryer in one. This nifty chef goes way beyond reheating last night’s pizza, serving up delicious meals so you can refuel fast, whether it’s a study break snack or a post-lecture feast.

Microwave ovens that make life simpler and tastier

A good microwave oven is more than just a way to reheat leftovers. It can be your shortcut to quick weekday dinners, your best friend for melting chocolate when baking or even a partner for roasting and crisping when you choose a microwave oven combo. Whether you want a sleek built-in model in black or white or a practical stainless steel design, there’s a style and function to suit every kitchen and cooking habit.

What’s the difference between microwave ovens and microwave oven combos?

Both serve different needs, and knowing which works for you makes choosing much easier.

  • Microwave ovens: best for reheating, defrosting, steaming vegetables or quickly cooking simple dishes.
  • Microwave oven combos: combine microwave power with features like forced air for baking, roasting and crisping. They can often replace or complement a traditional oven, especially in small kitchens.

If you often prepare full meals in one appliance, a combo model is worth the investment. If you’re mainly after speed and convenience, a standard microwave oven may be all you need.

Which microwave style fits best in my kitchen?

Your kitchen design and space will guide your choice.

  • Built-in microwaves: sit neatly within your kitchen cabinets for a seamless, integrated look. Perfect if you want to save kitchen countertop space.
  • Freestanding models: more flexible to place, easy to move if you rearrange.

When it comes to finishes:

  • Black – bold and modern, makes a strong style statement.
  • White – fresh, light and blends into most kitchens effortlessly.
  • Stainless steel – durable, timeless and easy to match with other appliances.
