The Breville BMO650SIL is our Editor’s Choice because despite having multiple functions, it still is one of the best microwaves for seniors, due to the simplicity of its use. This microwave features big buttons for main functions such as turning on and adding 30 seconds to running cycle. There are also such functions as reheat, defrost, beverage, and popcorn. Regardless of the function you’re using, the food is heated slowly and gently to prevent drying out or overcooking your foods. The compact size allows you to tuck this microwave anywhere while the decent capacity gives you plenty of room to cook a full meal.
The Breville BMO650SIL is the perfect simple microwave for elderly who live on their own. We loved the extra features, including the soft close door and options to mute the sounds if needed. The child lock keeps the grandchildren out to prevent injury, while the clear window lets you have an eye on your meals while they’re cooked. The painted grey metal housing is durable, easy to clean, and looks great in any kitchen.
