+ This is a pretty fantastic microwave combi, two features I really like are that it beeps at you half way through grilling so you dont forget to turn things over and the oven allows for pre-heating.

- Being petty because its such a great all rounder, but the grill feature doesnt allow for pre heating so you have to make sure you add a few mins on to start with.

+ Quite stylish, easy to clean. Fairly straight forward to use. Good value for money.

- A bit disappointed with jacket potatoes. Cooked them well but they didn't looked baked which I expected as the oven is a combination oven. The oven could also have done with a minuite button. (just press and go)

- This product takes at least twice as long to microwave food than the instruction book recommends, the grill doesn't seem to brown anything., A piece of toast takes 10 minutes and is still white when cooked.
