If you have the conditions, it is of course better to buy them all. If you have to choose one of them, I suggest you buy an oven!

I remember when I came home the year before last, my mother said she wanted a microwave. She saw that others were using it and it was very convenient, so she wanted one too.

So I asked my colleague on WeChat whether a microwave oven was useful, and I said my mother wanted one.

My colleague replied, "Don't buy it. It doesn't do much except heating rice. The electricity bill for heating rice is more expensive than rice."

After I told my mother what my colleague said, my mother said no.

Until last year’s Double 11, I asked my mother if there was anything she wanted. She said, “I don’t want anything else, I just want a microwave.” Only then did I realize that my mother had always been obsessed with this microwave oven. Needless to say, I bought it.

Then I went shopping online, searched on Zhihu, and saw what brands were recommended, and finally settled on one with a lot of functions and placed an order to send it to my mother.

Later, when I went home for the Chinese New Year in February, I accidentally saw the microwave oven in the corner. I asked my mother if she had used it before. It’s been a long time, I only used it once, and then I didn’t use it again.”

As for the oven, if you are interested in baking, then the oven is essential.

So it is recommended that if you have to choose between the two, it is the oven!
