The Hansa Microwave is the epitome of German quality. Models of the well-known concern stand out among their analogues in an exquisite design that combines style and simplicity, have enviable functionality, and are distinguished by an affordable price. They are suitable for people who value real quality and their time: with reliable and smart German microwave ovens, cooking is accelerated, simplified and filled with new possibilities.
About company
The German brand Hansa was founded in 1997. The company quickly conquered the Russian and CIS markets: for the first time, the Hansa market was introduced already in 2000. The manufacturer, having collected and systematized information on the specifics of Russian requirements, on the tastes and capabilities of customers, produces the highest-quality equipment quality that meets all needs.
What's New at Hansa
The new line of microwave ovens “Hansa” boasts an abundance of automatic modes that allow you to quickly cook your favorite dishes. You can choose from models of different cost: options with digital and mechanical control, compact - 20 l and roomy - 45 l. The set of functions and options varies.
Features of new products:
- Stainless steel inner chambers - simplifies cleaning from splashes of fat and other food.
- Thanks to the electronic type of control, you can fine tune the operating parameters.
Such ovens are easy to manage: the user selects one auto program, and the equipment selects the optimal power and cooking time. Information about the process is indicated on the display. There are modifications with a mechanical type - they are chosen by fans of simplicity and manufacturability.
The new models are minimalistic and are presented in two colors:
- steel;
- the black.
Some new items are equipped with combigrilles: alternating switching of microwave waves and grill.
Functionality of built-in stoves "Hansa"
While the user is resting or doing his business, a smart technique can:
- defrost foods quickly;
- warm up cooked food;
- cook a new dish.
Why are Hansa microwave ovens valued?
These are really good and reliable microwaves. They successfully converged all the signs of a modern high-quality stove:
- reliability;
- wide functionality;
- stylish design;
- moderate cost.
Many microwave ovens have a minus - uneven heating. This is especially true if the product fills almost the entire chamber. In Hansa this minus is absent: a special Multi Waves System is used, which minimizes the negative effect due to the uniform distribution of emitting energy.
All models, regardless of the type of control, offer a large selection of modes that solve different tasks: heating, defrosting, cooking.
How to choose a built-in microwave oven
Built-in microwaves save kitchen space. Not much different from freestanding, they successfully fit into the interior, not occupying the work surface. They are similar to solo models, therefore they choose, with the exception of a couple of nuances, according to the same criteria:
- The size. Built-in appliances take up less space than usual, but you need to prepare a special compartment for it. Recommended height is the level of the belt. The average width is 50-60 cm, there are also narrow modifications.
- Roominess. For a small family, the volume is 17-20 liters, for a family of 4-5 people - 25 liters. Taking a larger model, you can bake a whole goose.
- Power. The more powerful the technique, the greater the bill for the light. Range: 700-1500 watts. The heating speed depends on the level.
- Design. You need to select to the interior of the kitchen, to the facade of the kitchen.
- Type of control - electronic or mechanical. The latter is a pair of handles for power control. In stoves with mechanics there is no display, it is difficult to set the exact time, it is easy to overheat food. The electronic type is more convenient - the time is set to the nearest second.
- Inner coating. Conventional enamel is easily cleaned with detergents, practical and durable. If the chamber is covered with bioceramic enamel, it better tolerates heat. Stainless steel is stronger and more durable than enamel; it is not afraid of temperature changes and mechanical stresses.
- Double boiler. An urgent need for lovers of proper nutrition. A double boiler here is a small cup with a double bottom, into which water is poured, food is placed on a plate and closed with a lid.
- Convector. A device for ventilation and heat distribution throughout the chamber is included with the grill. Such a stove replaces the oven.
- Grill. Heating element - TENovy or quartz. There will be 2 TENA at once: from above and from below / behind.
- A signal to alert the user. Minus - a loud sound can be unnerving, scary or interfere with a child’s sleep.
- Skewer. This is not a grill at all, as many buyers think. This is a rotating pin made of metal - meat, vegetables, etc. are strung on it.
- Opening method: there are hinged and hinged doors.
- Blocking protects against changes to programs.
- Automatic defrost and cooking modes.

Major breakdowns
Hans stoves break down infrequently, but they are not safe from breakdowns either. The most common problems:
- the equipment does not turn on at all;
- turns on, but emits a buzz;
- the plate rotates, but the food does not heat up well;
- the timer is broken;
- the pan does not rotate;
- additional functions do not work;
- buttons do not work;
- When you turn on the microwave, smoke and sparks appear.
What to do in case of breakdowns
- If the oven does not heat, but at the same time: the pan rotates, the backlight is on, the grill is working - perhaps the cause of the malfunction is as follows:
- the capacitor is broken;
- need to replace the high voltage diode;
- the transformer is broken;
- need to change the magnetron.
- Poor heat or none at all. Possible reasons:
- the inverter is broken - only in inverter models;
- low voltage in the network - less than 220 V, which reduces the power of microwave radiation;
- faulty control unit or timer;
- defective power circuits: diode, transformer, magnetron or fuse.
- No warm up. The stove makes a hum or buzz. The reasons:
- the magnetron is broken;
- the high-voltage diode has deteriorated - when it breaks down, the stove does not heat and buzzes;
- defective capacitor.
Repairing Hansa microwaves at an amateur level is extremely dangerous, since they involve a voltage of 5 kV. Repair is done by professionals after the exact cause of the malfunction is established.
Reviews
AMM20BIH: Olga, Moscow
We picked up the stove specifically for the kitchen drawer, I needed a built-in one. Interested in two things: warming up and defrosting. Over the year, there were no flaws. I like that the food heats up quickly and evenly. It has never been that food was unevenly heated - in parts cold or hot. It takes up to 10 minutes to warm the meat - a piece in half a kilo. In the microwave, which I had before, the meat was cooked for half an hour. Advantage - few buttons, convenient to operate. Each button includes something specific - annoying when you can turn on many functions with one button, changing the number of clicks. The only drawback is fingerprints on a metal coating. But they are easy to clean with a cleaning agent.
AMG20BFH: Marina S., Maykop
Inexpensive model, when compared with analogues. Beautiful design. Minus - not roomy enough and does not heat well. Warm up uneven. It takes 2.5 minutes to heat up a bowl of soup, while my 10-year-old Samsung warmed it in a minute. Outwardly beautiful, reliable, easy to clean. Suitable for those who agree on a small camera volume.
Conclusion
Microwaves from a relatively young German-Polish brand are not among the top five. They cannot compare in popularity with such "sharks" as Samsung or LG, but the famous German quality takes its toll: Hans microwave ovens, reliable and functional, become indispensable helpers in any kitchen.
