Brand Bork is one of the brightest in the domestic market of home appliances. Stylish design and European quality made the equipment of this brand one of the most popular in its category. It is not surprising that Bork microwave ovens are in constant demand among buyers.
Features of Bork brand
The stylish appearance of Bork appliances makes many people think that this brand is of European origin. However, the brand is one hundred percent Russian, and this is the case when a domestic manufacturer can be proud of. Although it is worth noting that the components for the Bork microwave or any other brand equipment are Chinese-made.
In 2001, Technopark, a household appliances retailer, decided to develop its own brand. Her choice fell on the premium segment and equipment as close to professional as possible. It is this technique that has been in constant demand for 15 years now - people love to cook complex dishes, they strive to achieve results in their kitchen that are indistinguishable from restaurant ones, andin this case, there should be high-quality professional assistants.
Naturally, the Bork range also includes microwave ovens equipped with state-of-the-art features. But before we talk about them, let's figure out why you need a microwave and how to choose the perfect one for your kitchen.
How to choose a Bork microwave
If you go to any home appliance store or open its web page, you will see dozens of microwave oven manufacturers and hundreds of different models. Despite the fact that there are only 3 ovens in the Bork line, how to choose the right one and prefer it to analogues? It's simple - you need to choose based on the main parameters:
- power;
- volume;
- additional features;
- design.
The higher the power, the faster the microwave will heat or cook food. So, Bork microwave ovens have a fairly high power of 900-1100 W, which allows these models to cook even in grill mode.
The volume of a microwave oven determines not only its dimensions, but also its capacity - how large a dish can be cooked using this device. So, ovens with a capacity of up to 20 liters will allow you to cook a dish for only two, and a volume of 23-30 liters will make it possible to cook for the whole family. This is exactly the volume of the Bork furnaces. But volumes exceeding 30 liters will allow you to bake a whole large piece of meat or a whole bird.
Additional functions allow you to use the oven for full cookingfood. These are multi-cook functions with preset time and power modes for different dishes, as well as grill, bread maker or steamer functions. Pay attention to the controls - modern Bork microwaves have touch panels or buttons, which is most convenient in operation and maintenance.
And a few words about design. Simple microwaves in a white plastic case are the last century. Today, the kitchen should have not only smart, but also beautiful appliances, and judging by the numerous reviews, Bork appliances owe their popularity largely to the stylish appearance of their units. Microwaves "Bork" have a steel body with stylish black glass inserts and ergonomic handles, such models will be appropriate in the kitchen in a modern and high-tech style, but not quite suitable for country or Provence.
Microwave oven W502
Microwave ovens Bork are represented by three models, the most affordable - model W502. It has a maximum power of 900W and a capacity of 23 liters. A hinged horizontal door and a grill function that allows you to use the oven as an alternative to an oven are the characteristic features that distinguish the Bork microwave. The instruction will teach you how to use all 16 programs with ease.
Judging by the reviews, functionally this microwave compares favorably with cheaper counterparts and really allows you to bake and fry dishes from dough and meat, but the mirrored black door gives a lot of trouble maintaining it incleanliness.
Microwave oven W503
This model differs from its predecessor in a large volume of 25 liters and a side door. Otherwise, there is a similar set of programs, grill, defrost, reheat and auto-cook functions. But the price of these Bork microwave ovens is about 3 thousand rubles higher. By the way, it is twice as expensive as other brands on the market.
Despite the really chic appearance, the characteristics that this Bork microwave has leave much to be desired. Customer reviews note the difficulty in using programs and the unfinished sensitivity of touch controls. With wet hands, for example, it is quite difficult to handle the panel.
Microwave oven W702
The most expensive model in the Bork line, its price is about 30 thousand rubles, which is significantly higher than the average cost of analogues. However, the ovens have something to brag about - a really high power of 1100 W and an impressive volume of 34 liters will allow you to bake a Christmas goose, a big pie, and a serious piece of meat.
This silver Bork microwave oven with a blue display and convenient push-button controls is equipped with an intelligent quick heating system. With special temperature and humidity sensors, the system will automatically select the time and power, and you only need to press one button.
There are few reviews on this model, mainly due to the high cost and professional characteristics, but those that are are the most positive.
Pros of brand microwaves“Bork”
Among the undoubted advantages of these microwave ovens is their high quality. This technique is a full-fledged assistant in the kitchen, while simpler and cheaper ovens are used only to heat cooked food.
A definite plus and design. It is easy to notice the stylish metal case that the Bork microwave has, neat control panels and a modern design. It also features child lock and programmable modes for easy use.
Customer reviews note the quality of the assembly and parts, as well as ease of maintenance. The body is easy to wipe clean and the stainless steel interior is easy to clean, as is the quartz grill built into the oven.
Disadvantages of these models
The main disadvantage of Bork microwave ovens is their price, 16 thousand rubles for the simplest model and 30 for the most expensive one. Considering that the brand is Russian, and the assembly is made in China, I want to get European quality or more functions for this money, for example, a built-in double boiler or bread machine, convection or a more modern bioceramic coating of internal surfaces, or an easy cleaning function. It is also worth noting that analogues in price are, as a rule, built-in ovens, while Bork offers only free-standing appliances, therefore, it will be necessary to provide a shelf or a place on the table for such equipment.
