Godrej GME 728 CF1 PM 28L Convection Microwave Oven Review

The Godrej GME 728 CF1 PM is a premium 28L convection microwave meticulously engineered for the Indian culinary context. Its 28L capacity is a sweet spot for medium to large families (4-6 members), accommodating larger Borosil bowls and 315mm turntables for bulk reheating of dal, rice, and sabzi. Unlike standard epoxy-coated interiors, this model features a high-grade stainless steel cavity, which is crucial for Indian kitchens to resist the permanent yellowing caused by turmeric (haldi) and stubborn oil stains. The 205 Indian Auto-Cook menus are highly relevant, offering pre-programmed settings for regional favorites like dhoklas, pathras, and even ghee making, which significantly simplifies cooking for busy households. For urban hobbyists, the convection mode provides consistent heat for baking cakes or roasting tikkas, while the fermentation feature addresses the specific Indian need for consistent curd-making and batter rising in varied climates. Safety is prioritized with BIS certification and a reliable child lock, essential for households with toddlers. It operates on the standard Indian 230V 50Hz supply and requires a dedicated 15A socket due to its 900W microwave power. With an estimated monthly electricity cost of ₹180-250 for average daily use, it represents a cost-effective alternative to LPG for quick tasks. Godrej's heritage in India ensures that spare parts and magnetron replacements are readily available through their wide service network in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities.
