Seventy-four listings read on 22 August. The same house brand behaves like two different retailers depending on which shelf you are standing in front of.
We read 74 Croma microwave, OTG and built-in listings on 22 August 2026 and seated 25, priced Rs. 1,899 to Rs. 92,290. The retailer prices its own label two completely different ways: Croma-branded OTGs here are 53, 40, 33 and 25 per cent off, while Croma-branded microwaves are 5, 4, 1 and 0 - its 20-litre convection oven is marked down by exactly ten rupees. The evidence sits in the middle of the range: the four deepest rating records all belong to ovens between Rs. 6,690 and Rs. 16,990, and nothing above Rs. 20,000 has been rated at all.
Every price below was pulled from Croma on August 22, 2026 and checked against the MRP on the listing. Stack them with the live codes on our Croma coupons page, which the deals desk re-verifies daily.

Rs. 22,990 for the largest freestanding cavity here - with nothing published about it.
Why it earned its spot Where the price climbs past twenty thousand, the review record disappears entirely.
A 65-litre built-in microwave for a fitted kitchen, 25 per cent off.
Why it earned its spot A different product class entirely - this goes into cabinetry, not onto a counter.
Rs. 92,290 for a 76-litre Bosch built-in oven - forty-nine times the cheapest listing here.
Why it earned its spot The ceiling of the price range, seated to show how wide this single search actually is.
First: check which of four appliances you are looking at, because "microwave oven" here returns radiant-heat OTGs, solo microwaves, convection ovens and 60cm built-ins on one price ladder. Second: read the discount badge as a category signal rather than a saving - Croma's own OTGs are cut by up to 53 per cent and its own microwaves by as little as ten rupees, which tells you where the retailer has margin, not where the value is. Third: read the rating count, because nothing above Rs. 20,000 on this shelf has one. Fourth: check the live coupon page and the exchange offer before checkout, the same discipline we applied to Croma mixer grinder and air fryer prices, because bank and card offers on large appliances land on top of the listing price.

An oven toaster grill has heating elements and no magnetron - it bakes and grills and cannot reheat quickly. A solo microwave has a magnetron and no elements - it heats and defrosts and cannot brown anything. A convection microwave has both. A built-in is a 60cm unit that goes into cabinetry and is not a counter appliance at all. Croma returns all four for 'microwave oven', so a single price-sorted list would put a Rs. 1,899 toaster oven and a Rs. 92,290 built-in on the same ladder as though one were a cheaper version of the other. Each chapter here is one appliance type and every card names what its machine cannot do.
Croma's four house-brand OTGs in this read are 53, 40, 33 and 25 per cent off; its four house-brand microwaves are 5, 4, 1 and 0. The 20-litre convection is Rs. 9,990 against a stated Rs. 10,000 - a ten-rupee markdown - and the 23-litre is Rs. 11,390 against Rs. 11,500. Averaging those into one 'Croma discount' figure would hide the only thing that is genuinely interesting about the retailer's pricing here. We have printed each badge next to its product and named the split rather than smoothing it.
Rating coverage on this shelf is unusually thin: of the 74 listings we pulled, most carry either no rating at all or fewer than five, and the four deepest records - 79, 73, 55 and 44 ratings - all belong to products between Rs. 6,690 and Rs. 16,990. Everything above Rs. 20,000 carries none. A 5.0 from one person is not a finding and would otherwise sort above a 4.4 from 79. Every card prints the count in its specification line, several seated listings carry no pill at all, and the Rs. 11,390 Croma is flagged in its write-up as a five-rating sample.
Autocook menu counts on this shelf run from 12 to 305 and are preset time-and-power combinations rather than capabilities; capacity is the number that decides whether a cake tin fits. Twenty litres will not take a full roasting dish, 28 to 30 will, and the Agaro 25-litre OTG at Rs. 4,299 works out at about Rs. 172 a litre against Rs. 253 for a Croma 19-litre. Every card here states the capacity, we have compared per-litre prices where the comparison is fair, and we have not treated a 305-menu machine as better equipped than a 101-menu one on that basis alone.
On the published evidence, the LG 28-litre convection at Rs. 15,990, which carries 73 ratings at 4.6 - the strongest combination of sample size and average anywhere in this read. If you want to spend less, Croma's own 20-litre convection at Rs. 9,990 has 55 ratings at 4.3 and is the cheapest oven here that browns and bakes as well as heating. If you only ever reheat, Croma's 20-litre solo at Rs. 6,690 is the most-rated product on the entire shelf with 79 ratings at 4.4. Note that all three are barely discounted, and that every deeply discounted listing on this page has a thin rating record or none.
An OTG - oven toaster grill - has heating elements and no magnetron. It bakes, grills and roasts, it browns properly, and it cannot reheat a plate of food quickly. A solo microwave has a magnetron and no elements. It heats and defrosts and cannot brown, crisp or bake anything at all. A convection microwave has both, which is why it is the most useful single appliance for most kitchens and why the chapter containing them holds nearly every well-rated listing in this read. A built-in, at the top of the page, is a 60cm unit installed into fitted cabinetry - not a counter appliance you can move. Croma returns all four for one search.
We can report the split but not explain it. In this read, Croma-branded oven toaster grills carry badges of 53, 40, 33 and 25 per cent, while Croma-branded microwaves carry 5, 4, 1 and 0 - the 20-litre convection is Rs. 9,990 against a stated Rs. 10,000 and the 23-litre is Rs. 11,390 against Rs. 11,500. Outside brands on the same shelf discount normally, including 35 per cent on a 30-litre IFB and 28 per cent on a Haier solo. One reasonable reading is that the house-brand microwaves sell well enough at list that there is no reason to cut them - the Rs. 6,690 solo is the most-rated product on the page. Another is simply that the stated MRPs on those microwaves are set close to the intended selling price in the first place, which is arguably the more honest way to price.
Not on this shelf. The largest badge in the read is 70 per cent, on a WARMEX 28-litre OTG at Rs. 5,534 against a stated Rs. 18,633 - a claimed list price more than three times what any comparable OTG here states - and it carries one published rating. The best-evidenced listings on the page are discounted 4, 10, 0 and 23 per cent. Discount depth and evidence run in opposite directions throughout this read, which is the same pattern we keep finding across retailers. Judge an oven on its price, its capacity in litres and its rating count, and treat the percentage as information about the seller rather than about the product.
Bank and card offers at Croma are applied at checkout on top of the listing price and typically carry a minimum spend, which most ovens on this page clear comfortably; exchange values on old appliances are quoted separately at the point of purchase and vary by model and condition. We did not test any offer at checkout for this page and will not quote a figure we have not seen applied; the live coupon page is linked above. What this read gives you is the baseline to beat on 22 August 2026: Rs. 1,899 for the cheapest oven on the shelf, Rs. 9,990 for the cheapest convection oven and Rs. 15,990 for the best-evidenced one in the entire category.
