Author's Review
This product was purchased some six months ago. When choosing, I was looking for a 'combination' microwave; this slim line appliance proves its worth. Sitting comfortably on a kitchen work top, taking up far less space than my previous combi oven. When viewing related products, its price was impressive when compared to other makes.
The 'Cook Book & Operating Instructions', are well written, and provide good clear advice to get you started. The auto weight cook programmes prove useful, and the defrost setting a god send when something from the freezer takes your fancy. The powerful 1000W microwave oven, makes rapid progress on heating food or liquids, the lower power settings being available but rarely used. The built in convection oven quickly finds any preheat temperatures, saving time and money on electric. With a built in grill in the top of the oven for browning and cooking, what more could you wish for. The ability to use combination cooking is available, but not used. The oven size will comfortably take a family casserole dish, however, you would not wish to attempt to grill any more than two medium gammon steaks on the grill rack.
All in all, I am extremely pleased with my purchase of this product, and have recommended it to work colleagues.
