The Godrej GMX 23CA3 PLM is a 23L grill microwave oven perfectly sized for a typical Indian family of three to four members living in 1BHK or 2BHK urban flats. Unlike entry-level 20L solo models, this 23L unit offers a larger 288mm turntable, accommodating standard Borosil dinner plates or larger stainless steel-free containers for reheating dal and subzi. The stainless steel cavity is a significant advantage in Indian kitchens where oil spatters and turmeric (haldi) stains are common; it resists corrosion and is easier to scrub clean compared to basic epoxy-coated interiors. One of the standout features is the 90 Auto-Cook menu, specifically curated for Indian tastes, enabling users to prepare anything from tadka and gajar ka halwa to regional favorites with a single touch. Operating at 800W, it efficiently handles morning chores like boiling potatoes for parathas or making instant tea. Safety is paramount, and this model complies with BIS/ISI standards, featuring a child lock essential for households with toddlers and thermal fuse protection to handle Indian power fluctuations. Speaking of power, while it works on a standard 230V/50Hz cycle, we recommend a dedicated 15A socket to ensure proper grounding. In terms of running costs, using it for 15-20 minutes daily for reheating will add approximately ₹150–₹250 to your monthly electricity bill, depending on local slabs. While Godrej provides a robust 1-year product warranty and a 3-year magnetron warranty, their extensive service network ensures that even in Tier 2 cities, technicians are readily available. This is a Grill model, meaning it can reheat and brown snacks, making it the best middle-ground for those who do not need full baking but want more than just a solo heater.
