the Stainless Steel interior is much easier to clean and keep clean.
the functions on this particular microwave are excellent.
this is my fifth microwave and the best one i have ever purchased even though the other microwaves were of top name manufacturers.
-
the only gripe i have with this microwave is that the instruction booklet is not very clear for initial setup, but you do eventually find your way round it but it does take time, not something a busy mum would have a lot of.

versatile with microwave, grill or convection modes. It has a stainless steel lining as well.
There are a range of programmes available for auto cooking and defrosting.

Very loud notification beeper, cooking area could be a little bit taller.

Interior not large enough for a bag of microwave popcorn, the packaging gets stuck as the turntable rotates!

When you've used the convection oven it won't work straight away on the microwave setting, it has to cool down first.

I have purchased 3 of this combi and find them very useful I have one in my caravan for the summer, one as a back-up in the kitchen and one in the Summerhouse down the garden. I rarely use my built in oven.
-
I find the "Combine" function does not work so well as the "Dual Cook" function on my Sharp combi. Also with the smaller turntable it is difficult to buy a round tin (ie for a pizza) which does not touch the sides and just to place direct on to the glass turntable stops the pizza base from crisping. When using the convection function oven one has to be very watchful that it does not over cook the top of the dish as it can be more like a grill.

Combine cooking. Have had no success with this feature. I have another (Sharp) combination microwave with Dual Cook which I use extremely successfully and I have not been able to discover what the problem is with this Belling.which is a shame, assuming "Combine" cooking is the same as "Dual" ?

Incomprehensible manual - I've no idea when to use the grill rack and if I'm supposed to use it with the fan oven/combi so I've not dared try. And setting the timer is complicated. Pressing the buttons needs really heavy pressure.
