Top pick: the Samsung MS32J5133AT/TC (₱7,195), a 32L countertop microwave with an eco-clean ceramic interior that suits most Filipino kitchens. If you just want the cheapest genuine microwave in this guide, the Fujidenzo MM22 (₱3,468) still does the basics well. We checked every price on Lazada and Shopee Philippines in October 2026, and we dropped two products that were in the previous version of this guide but turned out not to be microwaves at all: a gas range and a convection-only electric oven. Neither has a magnetron, so neither reheats food the way a microwave does, and we would rather tell you that than leave a buy button under the wrong promise.

Best Overall: Samsung MS32J5133AT/TC Microwave Oven
1 more point
The MS32J5133AT/TC is Samsung's mid-size countertop microwave for the Philippines: 32L of capacity and 1000W of power is enough for a full dinner plate without eating up the whole counter. The ceramic-coated interior resists stains better than a painted metal one, which matters if you reheat a lot of saucy ulam.
Best for Baking: Imarflex MO-F25D Microwave Oven
1 more point
Imarflex built the MO-F25D around a glass turntable and six preset menus, with three memory settings for the combinations a household repeats most. Its 900W and 25L are enough to bake small batches, though it is not built for roasting a whole bird.
Best with Convection and Grill: American Home 3-in-1 AMW-300GCSX Microwave Oven
1 more point
This is a genuine microwave with a grill and convection mode added on top, so it can brown and roast as well as reheat. Lazada and Shopee list it as a 3-in-1 for exactly that reason. At 30L it is the second-largest capacity in this list, after the Hanabishi.
Best for Large Families: Toshiba MM-EG25P(BK) Microwave Oven
1 more point
The 25L interior and grill function make this Toshiba a reasonable single appliance for a household that reheats several plates at once. It also carries a child lock, which the Samsung and Imarflex above do not mention on their own listings.
Best for Heating Food: Sharp with Grill R-61E(S) Microwave Oven
1 more point
At ₱4,134 this is the cheapest model here with a grill function, and its mechanical dial keeps the controls simple if you just want to reheat and defrost without learning a digital menu.
Best for Small Kitchens: Condura 20L Digital Microwave Oven
1 more point
Condura's 20L digital model has a smaller footprint than the 30L and 32L options above it, which is the point if your counter space is the real constraint. Ten power levels and a 1 to 99 minute timer cover most everyday reheating and defrosting.
Best Budget Pick: Fujidenzo MM22 Microwave Oven
1 more point
At ₱3,468 this is the cheapest genuine microwave in this guide, not a toy version of one: it still has five power levels and a defrost function, just in a smaller 20L body and without a grill.
Best for Large Capacity: Hanabishi HMO31PSSM Microwave Oven
1 more point
31L and 1600W make the HMO31PSSM the largest, most powerful microwave in this guide, suited to a household that regularly reheats for more than four people. Hanabishi sells it in three capacities if 31L is still more than you need.
How We Chose
We started from the microwave ovens already sold through our Lazada and Shopee Philippines links, then checked each listing is still live and priced correctly as of October 2026. We required a real microwave (a magnetron that heats food with microwaves), which is why a gas range and a convection-only electric oven that were in an earlier version of this guide are gone; both heat with elements or flame, not microwaves, however useful they are for other jobs. From what was left, we picked for spread: an everyday overall choice, the cheapest genuine option, a baking-friendly model, a large-capacity model for bigger households, and a few with a grill function for people who want one appliance to do more.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best brand of microwave in the Philippines?
Samsung, Panasonic and Toshiba are the most recognised international brands here, with wide service centre coverage. Local brands like Condura, Fujidenzo and Hanabishi cost less and are easy to get serviced too, which is why three of our eight picks are local brands.
What is an inverter microwave?
An inverter microwave uses a different kind of power supply that keeps the cooking power steady at any setting, instead of cycling full power on and off the way a standard microwave does. It cooks and reheats more evenly, especially at low power, but it also costs more. None of the eight picks here are inverter models; if that matters to you, look at Panasonic's Inverter range specifically.
Where can I buy a microwave oven in the Philippines?
Lazada and Shopee Philippines carry every model in this guide, and our buy buttons on each pick go straight to the listing we price-checked.
What's the difference between a microwave, a convection oven and a gas range?
A microwave heats food with microwave radiation and is fastest for reheating and defrosting. A convection oven (like an air fryer or toaster oven) uses a heating element and fan, better for baking and crisping but slower to reheat a plate. A gas range is a full stove and oven for cooking from scratch. Several of our picks, like the American Home 3-in-1, add a grill or convection function on top of real microwave cooking, which is different from a convection-only appliance with no microwave function at all.
Updated October 2026: removed the Union UGCR-530 gas range and the American Heritage AHOT-6099 convection oven, neither of which is actually a microwave; checked all remaining prices on Lazada and Shopee Philippines.
