Buy a OTG only a 19L will cost only rs. 2500.

I find no real use for the 25L and above because no one uses chicken rosette it’s difficult to clean.

Go with OTG instead

Dont use a microwave unless you wish to kill all nutrition in food
Use an OTG, even convection microwaves use bursts of microwave energy in between cooking

I can just share some points from my experience, not recommending any particular model.

OTG seems to be more apt that a microwave as most recipes you get from reputed sources duly consider baking by OTG as well.

Do not go for large sized OTGs unless it has a fan built in. The ones to the capacity of 50 litres etc have 2 or 3 shelves and no fan will have very uneven temperatures inside. There will be two heating elements, one on top and one on bottom. My bajaj 52L ones has three racks and irrespective of what I do, using two racks at once will get one rack contents to overcook and one undercooked. If you have a fan built in, it will ensure the temperature is maintained constant throughout the oven interiors.

Better begin with a small 20 to 25 litres capacity one.

I was a noob when bought my microwave+grill from whirlpool. Later found one cannot bake in microwave.
There are 3 modes actually.
1) Microwave, 2) Grill, 3) Convection
You cannot bake in microwave and grill mode. Convection mode does the baking but like a newbie or beginner in the field of baking.
Only OTG is suitable for proper baking. OTG also can be used for reheating purpose, some also comes with grill feature. But OTG cannot cook food like microwave, which I don’t think you will require because microwave cooked food taste really bad and even not turn out perfectly cooked.

+1, even i am searching for one. Not big less than 20 litres or so. Very basic just for decent baking occasionally.
