Catering equipment wholesaler Blue Badger has taken on a new microwave line from Whirlpool.

The PRO25IX oven is a light duty machine offering an output of 1000W, but the company insists it is an ideal solution for cafes and small restaurants.

The Italian-made unit features an LED display with an easy-to-use touch control pad, 10+10 programs and an axial flow fan cooling system. It measures 511mm (w) X 431mm (d) X 311mm (H) and weighs 17kg.

Blue Badger says the appliance has a list price of £338 and is backed by a three year parts and labour warranty.

The Hampshire-based wholesale stocks a variety of commercial-grade appliances from Whirlpool as well as a range of other branded catering and laundry equipment.
