Stainless steel interior microwave

I'd set my heart on a Whirlpool Max microwave, but knowing it has a painted interior puts me off .The microwave i currently have which was previously my late grandma's, and is a painted one; which has started to peel tthough still works.

I don't have a massive budget; but not bothered by make and no need for a combination,. Would prefer digital but manual is fine. Colourwise, white or cream would be great, even red. Do not want black or silver.

Thanks in advance.

    I don't think the interior of a microwave oven can be stainless steel - you can't put metal things in them can you?

    Try and Google microwave with stainless steel interior, there are lot of them out there, including the Panasonic we own.

    I have a built in combination microwave oven with a stainless steel interior as I much prefer this kind of interior to a painted one. Mine is a Baumatic, but quite a few manufactures do the SS interior models.

    It tends to be the lower priced microwaves that only have a painted interior.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    Well I never knew that! I'll have to look it up on Google.

    I know you definitely can get them as I had a delonghi one in the past, Easitronic or something like that but it stopped working.

    Tried that, but thought someone may have seen a bargàin on their travels. I used to have a Panasonic one years ago too,but can't remember what happened to it.

    Wonder if they do stand alone. Will have a gander ...

    Hi, the ovens with stainless steel interiors are GENERALLY combination ones that also have an integral oven or grill .

    This is because of the extra heat involved which enamel wouldn't be suitable for.

    There a few basic microwaves with stainless interiors but you can expect the price to be much higher.

    What do you mean by 'wonder if they do stand alone' ?

    Best option would be to buy one with an inbuilt oven or grill even if you never use the extra features!

    #8 The lady said she had a built in Baumatic, so i was wondering if they were available also as stand alone ... which they do.

    Still looking for a reasonably priced micro. Thanks for your reply and useful info.
