I brought pigeon microwave oven for around 3000 rupees some 2 yrs back. initially we used it for heating food and many other things. as time wore on we just stopped using it as it does not go well with indian cuisine. I recommend microwave oven for every family only if they cook food items like pizza, sandwich, burgers etc. this does not go well with indian cuisine like rice, sambar, idli, dosa etc.
We did not use this for close to 6 months and when we switched it on next time, it did not heat food. we called the technician and after 5 calls he came and told me that magnetron is gone he has to replace it with a cost of Rs. 2000/- I told him the total cost of oven itself is Rs. 3000/- he told me that the main component is the magnetron and its replacement cost is Rs. 2000/-i decided to go for a better brand name rather than cheap pigeon which will not work after some time.
