What sizes and capacities do Haden microwaves come in?

Haden offers compact and retro-styled models across a range of capacities, from 17 to 30 litres, designed for both compact flats and family kitchens.

How does a Haden microwave compare to a Smeg microwave?

Haden microwaves typically offer lower price points, simple digital or dial controls, and retro or neutral finishes, while Smeg models have wider price ranges, more advanced functions like combi modes, and premium designs.

What is the price of a Haden microwave?

Haden microwaves are typically in a lower consumer price band. For example, a 30L Haden mirror model shows an instalment example of R400 per month over 6 months, with variation depending on model and retailer.

What should I consider before buying a Haden microwave?

Measure your counter depth, height, and socket location, ensure proper ventilation, and choose a capacity that fits your dishes: 17-20L for single cooks, 23-30L for families. Also decide on controls and confirm warranty or local service availability.

Which Haden microwave size is best for a South African household?

For most South African households that reheat meals and defrost often, a Haden 20-23L microwave is a good fit. Families needing larger capacity for casseroles or warm plates should consider a 27-30L model.

How we think about value

We treat a microwave as an everyday tool: reliability, ease of cleaning, and the right capacity matter more than fashion alone. Haden gives attractive styling and sensible features at a more accessible price point, while brands like Smeg trade up on materials, advanced functions and designer fit. Look for the features you use most rather than the brand name alone. (haden.com)

Practical checklist before you buy

Measure your counter depth, height and the socket location - allow ventilation to the rear and sides.
Choose capacity for your regular dishes: 17-20L for single cooks, 23-30L for family-sized plates.
Decide on controls: dial simplicity or digital presets for timed cooking and soft-defrost.
Confirm warranty and local service - authorised dealers make a real difference for repairs.

Choosing the right Haden microwave for your home

When we help customers choose, we start with daily routines. If you reheat meals, defrost often and use simple presets, a Haden 20-23L model hits the sweet spot for most South African households. For families who warm plates or use larger casseroles, step up to 27-30L. The Haden collection highlights these sizes and finishes across its product pages. (haden.com)

Countertop placement and power

Place the microwave on a stable counter with a dedicated 230V socket nearby and leave a few centimetres of clearance for airflow. Make sure the door swings freely without hitting a cupboard. If you plan a built-in or over-the-counter install, note that combi or built-in Smeg units may need professional fitting. (smeg.com)

Buying on Bash - what to expect

We list Haden models with clear product pages, delivery and returns information. For example, a 30L Haden mirror microwave appears with a sample instalment option and standard delivery details on the Bash product page; always check the product page for the final price, availability and the seller’s warranty terms. (bash.com)

If you want to browse complementary appliances for the kitchen, check our Appliances section for ovens, kettles and small appliances that work well alongside a microwave. Appliances

Final thoughts - matching choice to life

We favour clear, honest fits: pick the capacity that matches your pots and plates, prioritise easy-clean interiors and local service, and be realistic about features you’ll actually use. Haden gives good everyday value and recognisable style; if you need combi or high-end finishes, look at specialist alternatives like Smeg. Use the product pages and the checklist above to match model to life rather than impulse. (haden.com)

If you’re comparing several models, measure plates and containers you use daily, then filter by capacity and power on the product pages - it saves returns and frustration.
